7.0933. Looks like it is some kind of CFD / option price not an actual purchase price

Samdb - which RNS bud? Couldn't find the £7...Close:Open massive spread at 543.8:547.4Happy Days

[samdb] 21/6/2018 07:46

£7 trade in that RNS? Can't be right surely.

[samdb] 20/6/2018 16:20

Certainly some holders taking the opportunity to reduce but I would say an £8-9 bid is odds on.

Amongst the plethora of 8.3 notices, a Holding Notice from Standard Life Aberdeen declaring 5.63% holding on 18th followed by 8.3 notice stating they are up to 6.89% on 19th June.

EchoStar Corp. is considering raising its offer for rival Inmarsat Plc after its initial approach for the British satellite company was rejected as being too low, according to people familiar with the matter.

I've just clicked it and it definitely works

Still quite perky. Good risk reward trade at this level - either drops back to 450 on no deal or you double your money.

Inmarsat and KDDI sign landmark Fleet Xpress agreement

(15 June 2018 - Inmarsat) Inmarsat and Japanese telecommunications giant KDDI have signed a partner agreement to distribute Fleet Xpress to the Japanese maritime market – including deep sea vessels, commercial fishing, oil and gas, and cruise lines.

[samdb] 15/6/2018 08:20

Been very strong the past few days, I think they'll be back with a better offer.

[kamitora] 15/6/2018 08:15

From the FT article:

"Wilton Fry, an analyst with RBC, says the UK government could intervene although both EchoStar and Viasat, a potential counterbidder, have UK satellite operations, regulated by Ofcom, that could be used as an acquisition vehicle.

After the row over Galileo, short term Govt could use its new veto, but long term this could be a big winner if we leave Galileo.

Reviewed recent 8.3s - overall Corps materially reducing shorts from 530p down, consequently increasing longs.Gains feel sticky ?

Something afoot again.

Let's hope so

Giles Thorne, a satellite equity analyst at Jefferies, had a slightly different take on the events of Friday. In a research note published today he said the EchoStar bid for Inmarsat is not about sector consolidation but rather about spectrum. "We think Dish is looking for negotiating leverage following news that Ligado could be on the cusp of finally getting its license modification reinstated," he said. "If we're wrong, Inmarsat shareholders could hold out for as much as 11 pounds per share. If we're right, they should be pushing for something even higher. This is only the beginning, in our view."
