Wey Education will feature on the Mello Monday show in two days time as there are many investors that seem to share the same view about recent takeovers.

Not happy about the WEY deal then probably worth listening....



Tickets are still available and if you would like one at half price then enter the code MMTADVFN50.

Just a thought. Now that WEY has gone do you think the chairman will have a lot more time for TIDE and we might see some action there?

Crimson Tide?

netcurtains - Yes, tips.That's what many of us will be looking for.

The timing of the takeover is actually quite fortuitous for those holding WEY outside an ISA as it can provide some (or all) of the 2021-22 contribution without having to do a B&B.
But where to look?
Most of the obvious beneficiaries of the covid situation are already well bought and offer as much room to disappoint as to gain. A few have been less recognised due to the indirectness of their connection. The old adage of buying the makers of picks and shovels in a gold rush may apply here.
In the on-lne and security area, a potential benficiary that seem to me to be still reasonably rated is Arcontech (ARC) which has a very healthy balance sheet. Less healthy but also cheap (for this reason) is Shearwater (SWG)... could make a useful recovery perhaps?
In the medical/vaccine field, Oxford Biomedica (OXB) has shown its mettle as the most productive of the several manufacturers of the AZN vaccine. This came about rather fortuitously due to the timely availability of a brand new facility near Oxford being held for future expansion of its main developments. Its share price has responded only modestly to this rather incidental success and it is essentially supported by the success of its main business in variously partnered vector gene therapies.

Turning more to the picks & shovels theme, Carclo (CAR) has a very chequered recent history but is reported to be working flat out on making precision medical mouldings for handling/injecting vaccines, test kits and the like in several sites icluding USA. The pension deficit is horific and the boat may have sailed on this one as the share price is already well off the bottom.
Titon (TON) is in ventilation products and looks good value with healthy bs. I am not sure the products are high tech enough to be useful against spread of viruses - needs looking into.
Electric vehicles are in vogue and Nexus (NEXS) has charging point installation as one of its main themes. Clearly a growth area but could be subject to high powered competition by larger players in the transport forecourt business unless it can quickly establish a more localised niche presence.

Finally, if looking for a modestly priced business stuffed with cash and a possible attractive acquisition target, take a look at Vectura (VEC).

PS: Capita (CPI) with resolute management, positive cash flow and several recent contracts looks like it must now survive - in which case it won't forever languish below 50p.

Above is commentary, not advice!
I hold some (but not all) of the companies mentioned.

FWIW I largely agree with Nico115's first post.

We were just over 40p a couple months ago and I was expecting to get back at least to that level if trading was as good as indicated in January. I was hoping to hold on and accumulate more for another 12-18 months before the inevitable happened and someone with deeper pockets came along to take WEY to the next level.

Having said that 47.5p ("a bird in the hand") is an excellent return given what I previously bought in at so I'm happy to take profits and move on.

Cordwainer - 45.7p is the price currently being offered to sell.

As an aside, I reluctantly admit to not being aware of Inspired Education before today. Having read a little about them this morning and what they are trying to do with the Kings College Online model, I personally think it is fantastic and see it becoming more and more mainstream in this country for a vast variety of reasons.

I have no doubt Wey would have been worth more than the 47.5p offered today with further development and investment 2 - 3 years down the road, however given the relatively limited breadth of business skills within the current board, particularly against that within Inspired, it is clear to me that todays announcement is of benefit to UK online learning as a whole, and 47.5p is more than a fair return for Wey shareholders today.

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

of

WEY EDUCATION PLC

by

INSPIRED EDUCATION ONLINE LIMITED



(an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Inspired Education Holdings Limited ("Inspired"))



to be effected by means of a Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

Summary

The boards of Inspired Education Online Limited ("Bidco") (the "Bidco Board" or the "Bidco Directors") and Wey Education plc ("Wey Education") (the "Wey Education Board" or the "Wey Education Directors") are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition by Bidco, to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Wey Education (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is intended to be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Wey Education and the Wey Education Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme") (or, if Bidco elects, with the consent of the Panel, by way of a Takeover Offer).

Under the terms of the Acquisition, which is subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix 1 to this Announcement, and to the full terms and conditions to be set out in the Scheme Document in due course, Wey Education Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

for each Wey Education Share held 47.5 pence in cash

The Acquisition values the ordinary share capital of Wey Education at approximately £70.4 million on a fully diluted basis.

My money is on an RNS confirming a maiden divi is on the way. Last RNS said we are now charging VAT, +£6million in the bank over the summer, current sales beyond market expectations so if Wey are not going to be using that £6mill plus the rest for mergers and acquisitions then that moment should go to shareholders in the form of Wey first dividend IMHO

OK I'll come clean.
What I dont like is the cancellation of GCSEs and A levels.
A good percentage (high percentage) of WEYs work probably/possibly comes from GCSEs and A Levels.
I cant see how WEY benefit with no exams.
This being said they do seem to benefit from "covid chaos"
Its a mixed bag.
But with vaccine pouring out now, perhaps WEY has peaked?

Wey now advertising for a 'Senior Full Stack Developer'. Doesn't mean much to me as I'm tech dinosaur, but this is apparently what such a person does:

'Senior developer coding (C#), design and architecture of all Wey applications using Microsoft Azure cloud platform (PaaS and IaaS) and Dynamics 365

- Develop Wey applications using Azure and .NET Core, DevOps, and private API development, serverless and messaging architectures, public and private networking, relational and non-relational databases, and automated testing technologies

- Implement new initiatives in artificial intelligence, gamification, and virtual reality

- Continuously analysing technology opportunities and work with development team peers to implement'

This sounds to me like a new development for WEy; can anyone interpret it a bit?

This Scottish company (myonlineschooling) appears to be quite strong competition for WEY. They appear to be full up until after January. On mumsnet etc they appear to have smaller class sizes than WEY. They've upped their class sizes from 20 to 25 because of Covid - so if that is smaller than WEY I guess we must be in range 25-30 a class?

The good news is if they are full and if this slogan is true ("a rising tide raises all boats") so must WEY be pretty much full.
I wonder if Scotland (MOS) and Wales (WEY) will team up?
