Reckon only for a short while though. Overall sector is down from when the deal was announced and don't forget the exit fees incurred should they annouce the deal being off (almost a cert). ???? reckon the breakup rumours will surface again and nothing will happen... again. :)

Sterling rallied against the dollar on Tuesday, shedding earlier losses after speculation that Prudential would soon announce that it would abandon its takeover bid for AIG's Asian unit.

It is an absolute. total disgrace when a board maniacally pursue a goal the humblest shareholder can see to be demented. Has nothing been learned from the ABN Amro affair?

Yes, AIG "will not consider revisions to those terms".

Should let the PRU shareprice bounce.

Pru shocked by poll on Asian deal

The Prudential must secure a cut of more than 10pc in the price of its £24.5bn ($35.5bn) takeover of insurer AIG's Asian business if it is to win the support of major investors.

Reports suggested that private polling done for the Pru revealed only around half of individual investors, many with small stakes, will support the move.

Large institutional investors are understood to be even less likely to vote in favour of it, with just 30pc believing it is in the company's best interests.

Pru chief in £3.4bn price cut
This is Money: Market latest

Only 56pc of Prudential's 10,000 largest individual shareholders are also thought to back the move.

Tidjane Thiam, the Pru's chief executive, was in the US over the weekend to meet with shareholders. This included a visit to San Francisco on Friday for a showdown with capital Group, the Pru's biggest shareholder with a 13pc stake. it is believed capital told the beleaguered Pru chief it would back the deal if the price dropped to be tween £21.4bn and £22.1bn.

A number of other big investors have also indicated they would support the takeover if the terms could be renegotiated.

The US government owns 80pc of AiG and is thought to be determined to get the failed insurance giant off its books, but could baulk at the discount now being demanded by Thiam.

A source said: 'if it gets to $30bn (£20.7bn) everybody will be pleased. if it gets to $31bn or $32bn then it's negotiable.'

The UK insurer must secure the support of 75pc of investors at a special meeting on June 7 if the deal is to go ahead.

But the deal has been dogged by shareholder disquiet over the hefty price tag, and a £14bn cash call that is part-financing the purchase. investor heavyweights F&C, BlackRock, capital and Legal & General have all voiced their misgivings about the current deal, forcing Thiam back to the negotiating table.

The takeover would give the Pru around 30m customers in Asia and see the Asian operation become by far the group's biggest division - contributing around 60pc of new business profit.

The US Treasury, which has a controlling interest in AiG, said it has not considered any other deal than the existing contract on the table.

AiG believes that it has other options for its Asian arm, called AiA, if the Pru deal falls through. This could include floating the business, although this may not be so attractive in current volatile equity markets.

A US Treasury spokesman said: 'We believe AiA is a valuable business for which there is significant interest.'

I am sure Pru investors will be delighted to have a CEO who was willing to pay $5billion more for a company than that company were willing to sell for. Even AIG state that an alternative strategy to get rid of AIA by way of an IPO was unlikely to raise more than $20billion.

Nice to see common sense prevailing. Why trash a perfectly good company with such a dilutive high risk strategy?

It would be possible for the deal to be called off and then anything would be possible.

The chance of getting the necessary 75% shareholder approval seem slim to me.

large holders of pru shares are not in agreement with the management, &
want the Co to renew the terms of the offer,surely this would,nt possible,
would it?

Ta kunama, I was too focussed on the numbers of shares to look at the balancing of cash

Hi Betman

You are forgetting to add in the price of the rights issue. If you add 11 x 104p * 50 (100/2) then your figures will work out fine.

Normally I am very happy calculating theoretical ex rights prices ( my calcs on todays National Grid work fine )but it seems to be going wrong for me on PRU

when rights were announced price was say 542p
for every 100 shares held (value £542) , will get another 550 ( 100 *11/2 )so total 650
542 / 650 = 83.3p ( value £542)
quoted figure was about 171.3
where have i messed up ?
