Yes congratulations to all for seeing the deal through to completion in difficult times,sold my isa/sipp holding in market after deal announced, just kept original paper holding(2001)to fruition.Best wishes to all at Haynes for the future

Yes, it was a pleasure, and best wishes to all - management, employees, shareholders.

For me it was unusually short and sweet, starting small at 338p as recently as 25 October 2019, then buying more at higher prices in November, hoping for a successful sales process after appreciating the value of the (growing, profitable, recurring) online business and deciding that I could live with the pension deficit. And I sold in the open market in March at ca 690p, so held for less than 5 months. Feeling grateful and lucky. Thank you!

Farewell HYNS you have served me well over the years and part of me is extremely sorry that we have now parted company. The sale by the management was timed superbly and I think that at the present time they are probably my only holding other than AZN, VLX and MPC that is still in profit - in fact well in profit with the proceeds received in my IWeb account today. It would be nice to find a similar safe home for the cash returned for my HYNS shares and not invest/gamble/lose it as I have done with many of my other sizeable holdings in AVG, AIEA, ZYT, SBRY, BT.A, VOD, LLOY, MARS, RDSB, etc etc! Good luck to all ex-HYNS in the future and may good luck and prosperity favour you all in the future. Kind regards Investoree.

Infopro know what they are doing spod,it may seem a full price ,but if one of there big US competitors had snapped up Haynes,it would cost them a great deal more in the longterm.

Well done all. Sad to see Haynes disappear off the market, but a good exit.

I actually think the total price being paid is insane when you inlude all of the A shares aswell.

I bet the Haynes directors are pinching themselves.

[spob] 16/2/2020 16:32

unbelievable price being paid for Haynes

well done if you held on

I never would have to be honest

Could this UK company be another takeover target?
Haynes Publishing Group (LSE:#HYNS) by Infropro Digital, a French company that has long admired Haynes’ strength in vehicle maintenance manuals.

Yep, great price only wish I held more.

Looking forward to what that Neil character has to say having slagged off the company in a post here a while back.

I must confess I have been sceptical about Haynes since buying them about 15 yrs ago; nice to see patience rewarded. Only decision now is whether to sell now or await due process.
689 today or 700 in mar/apr?
Can't see any possibility of a problem , unlikely anyone won't be happy and CC won't see an issue. Some serious CGT to pay in the Haynes estate!
I think I would rather have cash now , TTG.

Awesome. Well done management :)

Credit and thanks to Norbert Colon for highlighting this gem! (Also on other media)

[frazboy] 13/2/2020 10:34

that's a stunning bid.

[mngf] 13/2/2020 10:13

Wow, why hasn't this jumped to 6.80 at least

[balcony] 13/2/2020 10:12

Thats a fantastic price

[norbert colon] 30/1/2020 11:06

Yes "will" be made in due course clearly implies progress with the FSP has been made otherwise they could have just said the process was ongoing and that shareholders would be updated should a formal offer be made.Encouraging.

[e43] 30/1/2020 11:03

Yes Wad C,that probably sums it up quite well. Haynes Pro going v well as expected. Possibly the most telling part of the release was regarding the Sale.'The process is continuing and an announcement will be made in due course.'followed by'In light of the formal sale process the board is not declaring an interim dividend'So this maybe infers something is happening?

[wad collector] 30/1/2020 09:39

No real surprises on the update , muted market reaction. Good enough to reassure a prospective buyer though..

[wad collector] 29/1/2020 13:23

By announcing a buyer!

[arregius] 29/1/2020 11:44

I was about to comment that. We already expect good results as per the rrading update, how do you think hyns could surprise us on?
