Nest the reason a hostile bid may be coming is BECAUSE the BOD won’t recommend an indicative approach
That’s why it’s called hostile.
However there is no doubt a price that the BOD would recommend, and every share they buy down here ,and cancel helps add further value, plus encourages buyers to raise their offer,

Now here is the clown that posted "Sale to be announced in May" 50 times a day. Now an expert on hostile bids. Giving NOR a lesson 😊

On the move

GKP will not be accepting a hostile bid when the politics are not sorted . 'They' might try it if they have enough votes . If they are close to that maybe the buy back is GKP defense ? Seem to recollect all these scenarios been aired long ago.

They do not amount to same thing. If you believe sale imminent at huge price then buybacks far superior. Oh, if you believe hostile bid possible buy backs better

#gkp #gkptakeover
Appears likely the buyback is hostile takeover defence that ultimately drive sale price when a deal accepted
Not be surprised to see a bid as early as next week
Reason being some entity has been working the book for almost 2 yrs
That stopped 3 weeks ago
1/2

[worldquant] 17/5/2024 12:22

You need 2 desks working together to control the book.We have 2 house brokers...funnily enough...both market makers.

IMHO:-The share buy back supports the GKP share price from a flash crash before the hostile bid goes in 💪

They will want to hostile bid BEFORE the ITP opens because after means that Iraq will have acknowledged & legitimised ALL Kurdistan IOCs ✅

The GKP share price will go through the roof on the ITP reopening 📈

Why would a hostile bid AFTER when it would cost them MORE? 🤷‍a94;️

[bobgray51] 17/5/2024 12:00

Buybacks and dividends amount to the same thing. They both return value to the shareholder. In buybacks this is by reducing the number of total shares in circulation, and therefore the denominator that the company is valued by. Further, if the company share price is undervalued (as GKP currently is) then buybacks make much more sense than a dividend payment. It's a very sensible move by management. When the share price goes up when the pipeline opens, the relative value returned to the shareholder through the buyback will be much greater than a 4p dividend.

[pittcock] 17/5/2024 11:55

A distinct possibility John.

[worldquant] 17/5/2024 11:46

You would expect a bid before formal announcement.....The buyback is a hostile takeover defence.Barbarians at the gate.

[johnbuysghost] 17/5/2024 11:31

IMO GKP have been told a hostle bid is being prepared for when the pipeline reopens.

So it looks like that will be pretty soon.

A decent observation WhyNow, which is obviously lost on the desperate investors here.

The company could and should imho have paid a divi which would have sent a much clearer message to the Market. Buybacks are always sold into.

Happy to help:-)

It's a hostile takeover we are watching...

[shareho1der] 17/5/2024 10:52

Rather than the buyback, they could have just used the fund to pay us dividend, which would have been around 4p per share.
