CMA launch investigation

[ali47fish] 28/11/2022 14:38

why on earth i soc generale adding to this

[wad collector] 14/11/2022 08:33

Unloaded mine for 1886. It has effectively become a bond paying 2% in a few months.

[wad collector] 09/11/2022 08:34

50p per share or 50/1875 as a fraction, or 2.666%. That's what we will lose by holding on for deal completion rather than selling now.

[ali47fish] 08/11/2022 22:12

yes not just 50p its 50 p per share?

[wad collector] 08/11/2022 21:18

The agreed price is 1925p, and closing price yesterday was around 1875p , hence a 50p reward for hanging on until completion.

[ali47fish] 07/11/2022 18:37

but the current price is much lower- where do you get this only 50p- iam not good with maths so please explain

[wad collector] 07/11/2022 17:42

So with the 1925p now drifting to sometime next yr ,and no prospect of a further dividend , I think it might be time to take the bird in the hand rather than hang on for another 50p or 2.5% in 2-4 months time....

Slippage in the timetable;

Listed healthcare software developer EMIS Group, whose products are used across a number of major UK healthcare settings, has said it now expects its £1.24bn takeover to complete early next year.

EMIS Group was established in North Yorkshire in 1987 and specialises in connected healthcare software and systems. Its products are used in primary care, community care, accident and emergency, and community and hospital pharmacies.

The Leeds-based company employs about 1,400 staff, primarily in the UK (1,150) and India (250), and it reported revenues of approximately £168m in 2021.

It was announced in June that Bordeaux UK Holdings II (Bidco), an affiliate of Optum Health Solutions (UK) (Optum UK) and a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UnitedHealth Group) had reached an agreement with the board of EMIS Group on the terms and conditions of a recommended all cash offer.

The proposed acquisition values the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of EMIS at approximately £1.24bn.

In August, EMIS Group shareholders voted to proceed with the takeover, and the secretary of state confirmed that no further action will be taken in relation to the acquisition.

The group has now provided an update to the timetable for completion of the deal.

It said the parties are currently in the process of finalising a Merger Notice with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), preliminary to a Phase One investigation of the Acquisition.

As a result, unless the relevant condition is waived by Bidco, EMIS now expects the takeover scheme to become effective in the first quarter of 2023.

Travers Smith is acting as legal adviser to EMIS, with Numis as financial adviser, corporate broker and nominated adviser, and MHP as PR adviser.

Slaughter and May is acting as legal adviser to UnitedHealth Group and Bidco, with Robey Warshaw as financial adviser and FGS Global as PR adviser.

Thats an interesting perspective. Yes I would probably have reinvested too early as well. The AIM sector has dropped much more than the FTSE100 or 350.

[c3479z] 19/10/2022 15:45

personally rather welcome the delay, as any money received would have been reinvested in IHT qualifying stock which would likely have lost value these last few months. Can receive the dividend in early November.

[wad collector] 19/10/2022 13:33

It has become a bit like a Bond, to be redeemed at a vague date. I was expecting to see a gradual closure of the gap, but thrown into that mix is the loss of the opportunity to invest elsewhere in a market that is rather different to when the offer was made, and the vague possibility that it might drag on for months, with the consolation of a further dividend of 21p if it stretched into March next year.
Maybe that uncertainty has pushed the price down this week, some trades today at 1850p which is a 75p gap.

[c3479z] 19/10/2022 11:31

'By the end of the year'- probably indicates between Christmas and New Year if all goes through?

[ali47fish] 18/10/2022 13:23

when are we going to get paid- what a drag!

[wad collector] 05/10/2022 14:59

SO xd 17.6p tomorrow; I see the share price nudging over £19 today in anticipation.

[wad collector] 28/9/2022 18:40

Well spotted amongst all those RNS'S .
Bit academic now, though does hint that the dividend will be paid.

If settled by Oct 7th no interim dividend will be paid. So potential 17p dividend on top of 1925p.
I am holding to bitter end.

[wad collector] 13/9/2022 12:24

Creeping towards the finish line now, nudging £19 . I shall miss this holding, though not the three bagger it is for me now!

[c3479z] 05/9/2022 11:21

wad
thanks for reminding of the timetable: thus, since the scheme is unlikely to be finalised before then it seems likely that we'll get the interim divi in October so the final result will be 1940p all being well,

[wad collector] 22/8/2022 21:36

The resolution has passed, but the timetable has not changed; the vagueness in the original document remains.
1925p before October or about 1940p with dividend if it is not complete by then.So buy today for 1875p to get about 3% in 2 or 3 months. Missing the opportunities elsewhere in that period.
