Posted at 24/12/2007 09:35 by hamidahamida nice 7p in this with no risk agreed takeout price 1.9306LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Sports Direct International PLC said it has sold 29.07 mln shares in Umbro PLC to Nike Inc's unit Nike Vapor Ltd at 193.06 pence per share, or a total of 56.12 mln stg. The company said it has entered into an irrevocable undertaking with Nike to vote in favour of the scheme of arrangement relating to the acquisition of Umbro by Nike at 193.06 per per Umbro share in respect of 14.61 mln shares. These shares are the balance of Sports Direct's stake in Umbro, it said. |
Posted at 31/10/2007 11:16 by sharw Well, this PI got out this morning at 192 (xd today, btw). As I see it there are three scenarios:Ashley uses his holding to get the terms he wants for supply to his stores and the bid goes ahead or Nike agree to leave Ashley as a minority shareholder. In that case it is not worth holding on for months for the extra penny. Ashley blocks the bid and the share price collapses. Ashley mounts a counterbid. As today's papers indicate, this is likely to run into problems with the F.A. However, it could provoke a higher offer from Nike even though commentators consider the original one a very good price, particularly with the gloomy short-term outlook. IMHO the potential reward here is less than the risk so I have got out. To those staying in the hope of a higher bid - good luck! |
Posted at 30/10/2007 13:50 by pully333 Have just bought this share at 194p for a number of reasons. Minimum price over next 2 weeks, 193p (takeover price). Possible rumours of rival bid. HIGH Interest rate cut in USA causing stockmarket gains. LOOKING VERY POSSIBLE Ashley being a clever wealthy billionaire may decide to launch a counter bid, if nike have an interest in this company it must be worth something. A move upwards to 198p as seen today or 200p on further press rumours as you can see is promising, never grumble at a small profit. |
Posted at 23/10/2007 10:20 by 1438m This is on the "the appointment website daily news update">Does this still require a shareholder vote? Or is that it done and dusted? If so not much to be gained now unless in earlier Nike agrees £285 million deal for Umbro Nike has agreed to buy Umbro in a £285 million deal in which shareholders will receive 193.06 pence per share. The announcement follows speculation that a bid would be forthcoming after Umbro said that it had received an approach last week. Recent sales of replica England kits have been poor for Umbro, but Nike said that it intended to apply its own considerable resources in "financial strength, product, operations and development capabilities, global supply chain and distribution resources and sports marketing relationships" to accelerate Umbro's existing growth strategy. The company added that Umbro would operate as an independent, UK headquartered Nike affiliate. Mark Parker, president and CEO of Nike, said: "Umbro is a brand with a powerful heritage and deep experience in the world's most popular sport and the world's biggest football market. With its close links to The Football Association and the England team, Umbro's future is even stronger than its past". Steve Makin, CEO of Umbro, added: "We will be a stronger and better business as part of Nike and this deal will allow us to accelerate our existing growth strategy by leveraging Nike's global resources and expertise. We look forward to taking Umbro to new levels with Nike's support". |

It is intended that the Offer will be implemented by way of a court approved scheme of arrangement under section 425 of the Companies Act 1985. Under the terms of the Offer, Umbro Shareholders will receive 193.06 pence in cash for each Umbro Share. |
Posted at 18/10/2007 23:22 by sharw So where is everybody? The most interesting day for years in the life of UMB shares and not a comment. Looks like Nike.Here is my paper roundup - work it out for yourselves: |
Posted at 19/9/2007 18:22 by sharw Sports Direct International announced today that it has upped its stake to 10.22% and with that the price moved up a penny. Any other potential bidder and the price would have rocketed. Even though SPD is less than half its 12 month high, let us remind ourselves that it has a MCAP of £831m compared to UMB's £172m. It spent £180m on its Adidas stake and seems to have plenty of money to buy back its own shares.Interesting. |
Posted at 24/3/2007 09:58 by sharw That was issued after market close. The fact that he has bought means the company is not in talks so this is not necessarily a good thing.Meanwhile the Telegraph says: "Umbro jumped 10¼ to 171p as rumours of a bid for the England football kit maker persisted. Numis said an offer from the sporting goods giant Puma is possible. It said: "We believe paying as much as 200p per share for Umbro is not beyond the realms of possibilities and would equate to 14 times earnings. Production synergies could be significant." After the market closed, Umbro announced its chairman, Nigel Doughty, bought 2.37m shares in Umbro at 168.6p, meaning Umbro cannot currently be in bid talks". The Times: "Umbro, the sportswear maker, gained 10¼p to 171p on strong volume as speculation rumbled on that it was a target for Puma. Traders said that the story seemed to have appeared after the German group told bankers earlier this week that it was looking for football-focused acquisitions, without naming any specific targets". The Independent: "Hopes that Umbro will soon find itself on the receiving end of a bid approach drove its shares 10.25p higher to 171p. Gossips reckon Puma, the sporting goods group, is keen on buying Umbro and may strike soon. Numis Securities said the speculation should not be dismissed. It calculates that by acquiring the group Puma can achieve significant cost savings. The broker said: "We believe paying as much as 200p per share for Umbro is not beyond the realms of possibilities." The London-listed replica football kit maker has seen its shares soar nearly 20 per cent since the start of the week". |
