Hello! Looks like they might have found a potential white knight.
"In addition, the Inspired Board is in detailed discussions with a third party regarding a possible offer for Inspired at a price above Regent's Offer."

IGW, there are elements of what you say are right. Reflecting on the valuation in January, I would say the BOD made a shrewd choice, get the placing away at a guaranteed 40p or wait until later for a better price. They are not advocating that is what they saw as true company values, especially when they knew that the delayed reoccurring revenues delayed from 2024 were coming into 1st and 2nd q 2025. I believe the BOD have let themselves down by not seeing the threat of a long standing shareholder. I also agree, it was not a smart move to approve a small dividend against Regents wishes. The board have said that 2025/26 will see better profits with the advent of all earn outs from previous acquisitions coming off the table.Having been in a similar position, it's always painful paying for acquisitions post acquired date.

I have to say I'm more impressed with Regent's reaction than I am with Inspired's "defence" so far.

This is the problem for Inspired:

"71.3 per cent. [premium] to the price per Inspired Share of 40.0 pence, being the price at which Inspired undertook its highly diluted £21.25 million placing (before fees and expenses) on 8 January 2025 which the Inspired Board stated was fair and reasonable as far as all Inspired shareholders were concerned"

It's all very well having other shareholders come out and say they're currently minded to reject the offer, but what else are they going to say? All other shareholders are likely to hope that, at a minimum, Regent can be persuaded to up its offer, and publicly rejecting the initial offer is the obvious way to get things started. The issue will be what do other major shareholders do if Regent comes back with a slightly improved offer and a statement that that is their final offer.

What Inspired needs (IMO) is a proper defence document, something that provides a quantified justification for a much higher valuation and reconciles this with the decision to undertake the placing at the much lower price. Or it needs a white knight who is prepared to put a higher offer on the table and start an auction.

Research Tree -Almost half of Inspired PLC (AIM:INSE) shareholders have rejected Regent’s £109 million takeover offer, saying it undervalues the business. Inspired’s board and major investors have all come out against the 68.5p-per-share bid.

It's unclear how much capital Regent has. Making such an offer they need to demonstrate to their advisors they have the cash. Maybe they cannot afford a higher price. It feels like a Mexican standoff with Gresham/the board - with Regent giving two options- accept cash as a lowly valuation - get stuck in an illiquid public company where regent will end up with 50% and defacto control of the board and company. Rational thing to do would be to sell to them and move on - the market is cheap and easy to re-invest in other situations which should make high returns.But rationality will be clouded by emotion. The silence from the company is deafening - unless I have missed it no public response or recommendation.

If you look at where they injected cash, which saved the company from failure, the share price was 45p - its Regents owned buying activity that has pushed up the share price to the bid price. Current mgmt have done nothing to drive the price

Nice move......Regent Gas buying more?

There's indication of an announcement on my Stockwatch Monitor for INSE, but no RNS or other news item shown on ADVFN?

The placing appears to have soothed the market's concerns over borrowings, and the share price is making good progress towards the 80p warrant conversion price.

If only the Board had made the same decision when the share price was 100p+....still, given the low multiple there's room for substantial upside here. And as stated above there's the definite prospect of Regent Gas making an offer in the background.

It’s a stinker. 28 million to strengthen the balance sheet! Why have they been paying a dividend all this time. Gives Aim a terrible name. Will be amazed if they get this away at 40p which is 4p before they rearranged the share price. Audacious is about all I could say. Feels more like a rescue bid than a raise. Best of luck. Hope the share price holds tomorrow I really do.

Good summary 1gw, reflects my thoughts too. Superficially given the ridiculously low P/E and the encouraging prospects, including in the fast-growth software and ESG divisions, INSE now seems very cheap.

But taking into account the possibility of a short-term profits downgrade given the H2 reliance on a few major contracts, plus the big chunk of debt, it's hardly surprising that some have sold. Combined with INSE's relative illiquidity this has led to a sharp and perhaps overdone decline in the share price.

If INSE can combine its generally good cash flows with a sharp reduction in debt given that deferred consideration payments are now almost finished, and if the contracts come through in H2 (one of which has already) then maybe there's excellent upside here in the next few months. But those are big "if's"!
