Posted at 24/4/2025 07:15 by glavey [1811]AIUI, the 2p dividend has already been paid (30 Sep 2024) and the 8p 'special dividend' (taxable for individuals) is only payable if offer declared unconditional. That's uncertain with current acceptance levels per last RNS. [1812] Bidco need 75%, not 50%, and 90% to compulsory purchase all remaining shares. As for "making up the lost 4p" (2p, or whatever), that depends upon the individual holders stock cost (book price). Given the IPO price, inflation and recent lack of dividends, the reality is that all holder average means that the majority are in a negative position. The outcome will depend upon R.M. holdings and I/I actions. IMHO, holding out is the sensible stance for all P/Is until the situation is clear. If Bidco don't get 75% they will extend or increase the offer, if they do get 75% it will be declared unconditional and remain open anyway. If they get 90% they will 'mop-up' the remainder. All holders will receive exactly the same pro-rata. Why P/Is think they have to act 'urgently' or at all for fear of missing out is beyond me. Given the global situation at this time anyone seeking to sell in the market for reasons of taking 'opportunities elsewhere' stands a pretty good chance of incurring (short/longer term) losses rather than gaining. Perhaps this is why it is said that P/Is are often skilled at loosing money! The market is presently bidding around 99.5p per £1.00. It strikes me that 0.5% is a rather small margin & risk premium. On the other hand, if the buyer thinks the offer might be increased... (It's been going on for a year!) |
Posted at 03/4/2025 12:51 by pdosullivan I am struggling to reconcile IDS assertion that the offer will become or will be declared unconditional by the end of April with acceptances at only 33pc as at 2 April. |
Posted at 30/1/2025 17:21 by live ink Gentlemen,I have no idea as to why those who govern us should have allowed the Universal Service Obligation to hang utterly ineffectually over the entire transaction. I guess that the CWU wanted it to stay so they could negotiate some extra dough for them; and the politicians yielded. Elsewhere that incomprehensibly meretricious clot Alex Brummer of the Daily Mail claimed that the IDS takeover should not be permitted since IDS is 508 years old. That is not all: Brummer claimed that the bidder was so burdened by debt that trouble would befall the bidder. Deary Deary Me. Live Ink PS: When do shareholders receive the cash? |
Posted at 30/9/2024 10:08 by cwa1 Dividends are usually in first thing at ii, often before markets open.No sign of the IDS dividend yet. Anyone else HAD their dividend in at ii yet? Not exactly a disaster, I know! Just unusual for ii. Cheers |
Posted at 18/7/2024 08:22 by isis I'm surprised the acceptances are so low given the Boards recommendation. Bloody nightmare this!Level of acceptances As is required pursuant to Rule 17 of the Takeover Code, Bidco announces that, as at 3.00 p.m. on 17 July 2024 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this announcement), valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect of a total of 32,318,148 IDS Shares, representing approximately 3.37% of IDS' issued share capital. So far as Bidco is aware, none of these acceptances have been received from persons acting in concert with Bidco. As described in paragraph 4 of Part A of Part 6 (Additional Information) of the Offer Document, Bidco procured irrevocable undertakings to accept (or procure the acceptance of, as applicable) the Offer from the IDS Directors who hold IDS Shares, representing approximately 0.019% of IDS' issued share capital, as at 3.00 p.m. on 17 July 2024.[1] These irrevocable undertakings remained outstanding as at 3.00 p.m. on 17 July 2024. Bidco has been informed by IDS that all IDS Directors who hold IDS Shares have instructed their respective third party brokers or nominees through which their beneficial holdings of IDS Shares are held to accept the Offer in respect of their entire IDS shareholdings and have therefore taken all steps in their control to accept the Offer, however, the Receiving Agent is unable to separately identify these individual acceptances in the total acceptances received. |
