Quite - gauranteed 5% [ cause the BOD are in trouble if this one goes awry] with a free chance of 20, 30 or x% uplift.
Sellers will dry up soon after they have put their gains into real gamble stocks !
The market eventually becomes rational.
I agree LB28, 10p looks likely whatever happens, and there probably isn't anything for anyone to worry about providing everything is wrapped up in time, which it looks like it will be. My only point is that if the board are complicit in dragging the SP down to where it is and potentially in bed with the bidder, there's no reason to get too excited about a higher offer coming to fruition.
.......and as I said before the board is not obliged to accept any offers of cash from shareholders or put to a vote any bids from any bidder they don't want to.
Alwayswinning these are professional equity managers who could eat the bod for breakfast do you think they are going to be scared? Lets see what happens in the next few weeks eh?
I agree Jarv55. From what I can see though, it appears the board want the company in this "dangerous" position. The board only has to be able to scare 50% of shareholders/traders into voting for the deal at 10p to get want they potentially want.
alwayswinning do you think the big share holders are going to allow a wipe out? come on they could buy this themselves and not even blink.
Not registered there though - doc says outside US jurisdiction.
Looks like a VC wanting to flip it after a respectful period.
So they are a Us based firm by the looks of it

Yes, to agree to an offer that is put to a vote in the first place that is Jarv55. The current offer will most certainly go to a vote, but the board can pick and choose which (if any) subsequent offers they put to a vote. If the choice they give shareholders is 10p or wipe out shareholders would almost certainly take it. Given the timings of the current offer, it would appear the board are working closely with the bidder, which doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.
You can see why they want it

Brady plc (BRY.L), a leading global provider of trading, risk management and settlement solutions to the energy and commodities sectors, announces that, over the course of the first half of 2019, Brady has had positive engagements with existing customers, and the recurring revenue is in line with expectations. However, the pipeline of revenue from new customers forecasted will not materialise during fiscal 2019, although new business bookings are anticipated in the second half. As such, the Board has concluded that full year revenue will be circa £19m, and this will have a consequent impact on EBITDA performance.
The turnaround of the business since the appointment of Carmen Carey as CEO has continued to build momentum focused on customer engagements, delivering major contracts and maturing the new business pipeline. In addition, the strategic product review has concluded, informing the going forward business strategy to align, optimise and advance the product portfolio and conclude the transformation work underway when Carey joined.
When a board is working against it's own shareholders I don't think there's ever much reason to be hopeful. So, even if a counter offer comes in, the board could choose to simply ignore it or say they didn't agree to the terms and insist that the current deal is what's best for everyone.
Without a doubt the BOD have orchestrated such a scenario you pose.
[job security which they won't necessarily have from another offeree for example] so its down the the 88% ii holders - can they be bothered - and/or someone like ION. Good news is that the iis can pick up the phone to other parties unlike us PIs
Nice place to be in though at 9.25p and a great soap opera style share and yes, further news can lands at any time now
It would of gone to 10p just on the 1.5mill fund raise.
They could easily raise 1.5 mill on 19mill revenues and increasing customers coming in looks they just want to take it on the cheap to me.
o The Boards of Hanover Bidco and Brady are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Hanover Bidco for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Brady. Hanover Bidco is an investment vehicle ultimately wholly owned by Hanover Active Equity Fund II, S.C.A. SICAV-RAIF.
o Under the terms of the Offer, each Brady Shareholder will be entitled to receive 10 pence in cash per Brady Share.
o Hanover Bidco's Offer is final and the Consideration will not be increased except that Hanover Bidco reserves the right to increase the amount of the Offer if there is an announcement on or after the date hereof of an offer or a possible offer for Brady by a third party offeror or potential offeror.
o The Offer values the issued share capital of Brady at approximately £8.3 million.
o The Offer represents a premium of 50.8 per cent. over the closing middle market price of 6.63 pence per Brady Share on 11 October 2019, being the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this announcement, and 31.1 per cent. over the closing middle market price of 7.63 pence per Brady Share on 3 October 2019, being the Business Day on which Hanover Bidco made the approach to the Brady Directors regarding the Offer.
o The Offer is conditional upon, amongst other things, Hanover Bidco receiving valid acceptances (which have not been withdrawn) in respect of and / or having otherwise acquired or agreed to acquire Brady Shares which constitute more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights attached to the Brady Shares.
o The Offer is subject to the other Conditions and certain further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement, including that no member of the wider Brady Group becomes insolvent or undergoes any analogous procedure in any jurisdiction and to the further terms and conditions contained in the Offer Document, when issued. Immediately upon the Offer becoming unconditional as to acceptances, subject to Hanover Bidco not having invoked or sought to invoke any Condition prior to that time, Hanover Bidco shall declare the Offer wholly unconditional.
o In Brady's announcement of 26 September 2019, Brady confirmed that it was advancing funding initiatives to provide Brady with access to approximately GBP1.5 million to meet the working capital requirements of the Brady Group, prior to 30 November 2019 to support existing operations. The Company continues to review the position and, whilst the requirement for GBP 1.5 million prior to 30 November 2019 remains the case, Brady has a specific cash payment due on 15 November 2019. The Company is in discussions and would expect to be able to manage this situation until 30 November 2019. However, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case. The Company confirms that, whilst negotiations in respect of funding options have been advanced and are on-going, the Company has not, at this time, secured unconditional funding.
Feels like this situation has been manufactured by all sides to me. A last minute low-ball offer 4 weeks before the company is in dire straits according to the board. Not really enough time for other companies to do proper DD and to have a bidding war. Shareholders will be presented with a take 10p or lose everything argument IMO.
These were 56p in August was hammered down on an insti selling they are just trying to get it cheap.
