Posted at 06/11/2024 18:06 by pdosullivan Yes and IDS is paying a much higher multiple for the Greek business than it trades on itself, which to me illustrates the very low price that the Board is bafflingly recommending shareholders sell to Mr Kretinsky at. |
Posted at 06/11/2024 06:30 by basil7430 I'm surprised there's been no mention on here of IDS spending £62m purchasing a 20% stake in ACSSurely the substantial expenditure on an acquisition such as this makes no sense at all whist in the midst of a takeover bid? The only person who's going to potentially benefit from this outlay and investment will be the new owner DK if the takeover goes ahead. |
Posted at 30/9/2024 09:08 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 17/9/2024 16:16 by yieldmonkey I find myself trying to divorce IDS as an investment proposition from my own experiences of RM as a customerAs a business I spending circa £100k pa on postage of letters/small packets. Unlike RM I operate in a competitive market so the last resort on getting the price rises is to put prices up. So we squeeze efficiences, and are moving an increasing % of mail to other operators. Over the last year, RM's performance in delivering on time / losing items has been abysmal - so with the price rises pencilled in, its time to move as much as we can to other tracked service operators - even if the cost is 30p or so more, I suspect we will come out even when the late/lost items are factored in. And of course there will me more price rises so this is inevitable So with my finance hat on, whats the investment case here for the czech buyer? On the face of it it seems madness to buy a business with a USO,rapidly declining sales, strong unions and equipment/fleets held together with gaffer tape. Doesnt pass the smell test to me - I will stick to my prediction that the business will be split - GLS sold off and the rump business put into administration down the line casusing a political rumpus! If I was still in banking I would want belt and braces cross-guarantees before I led a penny! |
Posted at 09/9/2024 15:47 by live ink isis,I think that you will therefore agree with me that downsizing by merely raising the cost of a first class stamp to £1.65 but keeping the USO would be absurd. I incline to the view that, regardless of what the CWU think, the obligations of IDS will be brought into line with economic possibility and that the takeover price will go up from 370p to rather more than 400p - perhaps getting on for 500p.

Posted at 01/8/2024 15:13 by not my real name hotshot6,Only news is this which I found tucked in the middle of todays declarations. "Level of acceptances As is required pursuant to Rule 17 of the Takeover Code, Bidco announces that, as at 3.00 p.m. on 31 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 39,398,969 IDS Shares, representing approximately 4.11% of IDS' issued share capital."

Posted at 18/7/2024 07:22 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. |
Posted at 18/7/2024 06:58 by pdosullivan If I am reading it correctly, only 3pc of the 70pc or so of IDS not held by Kretinsky had accepted the offer as of mid afternoon yesterday. Hopefully IDS will remain independent - I think the offer price is far too low. |
Posted at 16/5/2024 11:16 by not my real name Morning all,There seems to be some confusion around disparity between the £3.70 figure and the current price of circa £3.20. The reason is simple...........an offer has NOT been made. What was announced was a proposal which may, or may not, lead to an offer of £3.70. The details were clearly laid out in the RNS but I think most people got to the £3.70 figure and stopped reading. Here's the end bit. Next big day is 29th May NMRN -------------------- Keith Williams, Chairman of IDS plc, commented: "The Board is minded to recommend this offer price, which it considers to be fair and reflects the value of GLS' current growth plans and the progress being made on change at Royal Mail to adapt the business to a significant fall in the demand for letters and growth in parcels. "It is however regrettable that despite four years of asking, the Government has not seen fit to engage in reform of the Universal Service and thus improve our financial position and ensure that Royal Mail could provide an economically sustainable service to the British public. "The Board believes that the proposed contractual undertakings to be offered by EP Group should ensure that IDS continues to deliver the key elements of the Universal Service in the UK and protect the interests of the workforce at both Royal Mail and GLS." There can be no certainty that any offer will be made. -------------------- EP Group has entered into a confidentiality agreement with IDS pursuant to which EP Group and Vesa Equity have agreed (among other things) to be subject to customary standstill restrictions during the course of the offer period (subject to customary exceptions). Accordingly, with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Panel"), the Board has agreed to an extension of the relevant 'put up or shut up' deadline under Rule 2.6(c) of the Code until 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 29 May 2024. This deadline may be further extended, with the consent of the Takeover Panel, at IDS' request, in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code. No statement in this announcement constitutes a post-offer undertaking under Rule 19.5 of the Code. -------------------- A further announcement will be made as appropriate. |
