Many closed never going to reopen

Sign of worse things to come IMO across boozers and eateries and sleeperies


continued tightening of the trading restrictions for pubs which may last another six months along with the changes to government support was always going to make it a challenge to reopen some of our pubs.

Oh dear dear.

Greene King to close pubs and axe 800 jobs as curfew hammers industry -

[jeffian] 15/5/2020 11:35

Aye, it must be galling to be right but to see all us wrong'uns bank the money!

Never mind that. My settlement of the EiGroup takeover by Stonegate arrived on 18 March. Phew!

Last August a HK based propco bid £2.6bn for GNK - 850p/share.

Timing is everything. Looking at MARS I suspect that today they could have bought GNK for £300m-£500m!

Mine was credited on the 13th

You'll be asking for the exact date next!

Settlement

The cash consideration payable to Greene King Shareholders under the terms of the Scheme will be settled or despatched by no later than 13 November 2019.

[zeppo] 22/10/2019 08:30

I believe so.

I believe that we can also look on the company website for what may follow.

Anyone know if the shareholder discount vouchers will continue to be valid after the takeover completion

[whackford] 17/10/2019 13:47

All clear now Jeffian.

[jeffian] 17/10/2019 12:53

Happy now, whackford?!

[chc15] 17/10/2019 12:50

Anyone got any ideas for reinvesting the proceeds sensibly?

[chc15] 17/10/2019 12:48

Within 14 days after the 31st, cash will arrive

[whackford] 11/10/2019 14:32

In the meantime I'll keep an eye on RNSs to watch for timings.

[jeffian] 11/10/2019 14:00

No, you can't infer that. The shares are tradable up to the point the Scheme becomes effective.

[whackford] 11/10/2019 13:24

Decision reversed!

[whackford] 11/10/2019 13:16

Thanks Jeffian.

Strewth, whackford, you're like a dog with a bone.

You've had everything they can say at this stage. The clock does not start ticking on effecting the Scheme of Arrangement until the conditions have been met. The principal condition is getting clearance from the EU Commission that they will not refer the bid to their competition authorities, or those of any member state. If you can put a firm date on that, good luck to you. The other conditions are mainly within the control of the bidder and a RNS is usually issued when they are satisfied and declare their offer unconditional.

If it's that important to you, you could sell your shares in the market today at the loss of less than 2p/share on the bid price plus some costs. It may be worth it to give you the peace of mind you crave. And us.
