Ok cool thanks .. I’ll pay it a bit more notice now !!
Hi Bloggsy. You divide by 3 (number of shares to ADR) and then by the $ exchange rate..so it�s about �38.90 as of now. ATB, Scfc
Calculations even
Hi .. how does the conversion calcareous work ?
Rising on nasdaq so after conversion it�s now over �39
Seems to me that most believe that Takeda cannot afford to buy shire. Well to put things in a better light it�s the Japanese banks that will be backing this takeover as they lend the cash, and funds managers buy Takeda which banks and insurance companies have stakes in. It�s a big merry go round. Very basically you can liken it to someone with 10 credit cards, moving debit from one to the other. World debit who is it owed to banks and insurance.
�38.215
Although normally one increases the bid sufficiently for it to actually be worth people reading the paper the improved offer is on. Yes congrats they have upped the cash sufficiently to pretend this is an acquisition and not just a merger, now they need to move convincingly on price. Another couple of pounds might do it.
Ermmm. I�m not sure how disciplined Takeda are coming across in their approach - that�s 4 bids so far but the latest 50p increase is so low you wonder how many more goes they will have! Scfc
I reckon banks will lend takeda the cash to buy shire and once completed i expect takeda to sell off a chunk of the business to offset the huge costs involved
No, it is �47. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (TKPYY) said Friday that it has made a new proposal to buy Shire PLC (SHP.LN) at an increased price of 47 pounds ($66.60) per share, with a higher proportion in cash. The Japanese company said that the proposal comprises GBP21 per share in cash and another GBP26 per share in equity.
It’s movimg upwards. Come on break the £39
Reports now saying the offer being tabled could be over £47
That shot up day was yesterday. I think it’s the weekend, it’s hot and the market boys wanna have a relaxing weekend and wait till Monday.
Yep I will buy that. Seems a good reasonable explation!
Lol...Ash To be fair, had it been any other company their price would have shot up to close to offer price <---- on speculation. I have like many of you seen it happen. But this is shire :-((
Takeda will seek an extension to the april 25th deadline to complete due diligence review and could still walk away from a deal so i think the markets are still sceptical hence the stagnant share price
Been a crazy few days . Not seen any statement from shp yet
It's trading at a discount because most people are aware that Takeda cannot really afford to buy Shire, simple as that.
No because it is still all speculation. But fully understand your frustration. Come on Shire! £50!!!!
Good point Sam But what i wanna know is why the f*@# shp price ia still in late 30s when a company is willing to buy it out at fort bl00dy 7 pounds? Shouldnt it be trading at at least 43 already??
Last roll of the dice by takeda surely , how many bids they planning on making??? The only thing that worries me is that shp are still encouraging an offer , whats the point in more talks if the bod feel the offer is way below there own val ?? Unless there using takeda - just thinking out loud
Lol...yes u got Scfc :-) Just waiting for right price to sell out
Some of us here thought shire was trading fairly at �30 a piece a few weeks ago and now we r being offered 47. How is it not good?
You actually mean you don�t much care what the offer is as long as it forces the share price up and means you can sell up and get �45 cash, but no Japenese shares! :-)
