02/9/2008 17:26 | Wouldnt surprise me if they run a story like that just prior to announcing all deals are off! | the_doctor | |
02/9/2008 08:06 | PRIVATE EQUITY CONSORTIUM CLOSE TO SECURING FUNDS FOR THREE BILLION POUND INFORMA TAKEOVER Private equity bidders including Providence Equity Partners and Carlyle Group are believed to be close to securing financing for a three billion pound acquisition of Informa , the events and exhibitions group. Sources close to the deal said the bidders had made excellent progress, although financing was not yet finalised. Analysts at UBS wrote in a note: "This news is positive, as it appears the odds of a deal happening have increased sharply". Shares in Informa closed 14.75 pence up at 440.5 pence on the speculation. | 25cent | |
26/8/2008 07:06 | Seems to be sticking to that 430p level! | the_doctor | |
17/8/2008 12:50 | It doesn't look likely that there will be another bidder as all parties seem to be willing to co-operate to secure the financing. They will then share the bits out (Dubai - conference side etc) and prove that the sum of the parts are worth more than the whole. The shame will be that the price will not be very high. It is then down to how well the board are looked after as to whether it is recommended. | kenmill | |
17/8/2008 10:12 | As they appear to definitely have their bank funding, it surely means they have paid significant commitment fees, so the expectation should be now that the bid will happen. Hopefully in the next week or two. Could there be a third party who then comes in to put this into a bidding auction? Exciting | martini111 | |
15/8/2008 11:32 | After today's news that Blackstone is definitely in there with bank backing, it looks as though we should hear about an offer (or not) in the next couple of weeks | kenmill | |
10/8/2008 11:12 | I think we will have news this week. | 25cent | |
04/8/2008 17:29 | Lets hope another bidder turns up making 3 in all , that may knock it the share price down even more lol. | 25cent | |
30/7/2008 17:12 | 25 cent They are probably trading in and out. There are also big transactions going through which would be Institutions adjusting their holdings. The city never understood Taylor & Francis and always undervalued them, so when the conference side was added it made it even more negative. | kenmill | |
30/7/2008 14:23 | I would love to understand the logic of these sellers at this level! | 25cent | |
30/7/2008 09:51 | The new consortium is headed up by Blackstone - the largest PE house, and the Dubai Soverien Fund. Great combination - Dubai would take the conference side and Blackstone and the other PEs would take the rest. No lack of money here with a rumoured 13 banks also involved in the fundraising. Very promising | kenmill | |
29/7/2008 16:28 | Really quite remarkable how even the prospect of an bidding war can not shift this anywhere near the 506p on the table already? | 25cent | |
29/7/2008 15:31 | I agree the share is worth over £6 but that will not be achieved in this market with or without a bid. £6 would have to wait for up to 2 years. A PE house will probably break it up and prove that the sum of the parts is greater in value than the whole. They must be able to see that they can make £6+ by doing this. | kenmill | |
29/7/2008 15:05 | This strengthens the case for a buy out. If PE are prepared to pay 506p then the value could be recognised by another party at least at the same level. The only negative is a delay while both parties play chicken waiting for the other to move first. As a long term shareholder, this highlights the value, but that was recognised not long ago as being in excess of 600p. | inki | |
29/7/2008 14:53 | lol at this rate it will end the day down, but dont worry it will come good shortly. | 25cent | |
29/7/2008 14:47 | Life has just got more interesting. This should underpin the price and finally make the market realise that the company is worth more than they are valuing it. If PE houses think they can make a good return after paying over £5 why should it be valued at under £4.5 | kenmill | |
29/7/2008 14:35 | Bidding war! | 25cent | |
29/7/2008 08:42 | Although it would get hit for 20% or so if the bid failed those results are more than enough to justify the share price at this amount and i think that it would soon recover if any bid funding fell through. It looks like a great each-way bet . | 25cent | |
28/7/2008 07:48 | Great results- increased divi to show they don't have a cash problem - bullish forward statement. Bottom line figures down due to Datamonitor goodwill right-offs but datamonitor is showing 40% year on year growth. 104% cash conversion of profits - Not difficult to see why the PE companies want it. Ongoing talks. | kenmill | |
26/7/2008 08:43 | Looking good for Monday. | 25cent | |
25/7/2008 17:16 | So the rumour is that there may be an announcement on Monday re the takeover. Monday will also be their earnings announcement so it could be a very volatile day | kenmill | |
18/7/2008 13:15 | I think the are trying to spook investors and the sudden reboud will appear, I suspect that someone is picking up cheap stock on the missery of individulas with margin calls. Next week should be an interesting time for news to confirm whether the deal is close to conclude or talks are off. | 2shemshersingh | |
18/7/2008 08:39 | 1444 GMT [Dow Jones] Informa (INF.LN) -8.1% at 390p on speculation that the bid from private-equity is off, according to traders. On July 2, the group confirmed it received an approach from Providence Equity, Carlyle Group and Hellmann & Friedman. "There's a rumor the (consortium) can't get financing," a trader says. The consortium declines to comment. (KAV) | tonysss13 | |
18/7/2008 08:24 | As suspected problems with the bid, however i believe that more than one group are looking to take this out so its not over yet,although i am glad i only have 1/3rd exposure now. | 25cent | |
17/7/2008 23:25 | I think someone placed a major sale and that pushed the stock down and triggered major margin calls. If this stock had closed at the low of the day then I would of guessed the deal could be over. In this case the chart action suggests in the absent of news the stock could be manipulated in order to sqeeze weaker long term holders out. Tommorow we could see a sudden snap back up and the stock retests the 430p level. Maybe market makers playing massive tricks and spooking. all we need is a confirmation that the finance has been sighned and approved as concrete for the stock to rebound. | 2shemshersingh |
