HKK so far is right - the pound is strengthening weirdly against US dollar … now 125 to 127 and so far 620 p becoming less …
Now is the time for a prayer to God
Dear God , please find a new buyer by June 10 th for Darktrace ( promise I will donate some of the extra profits to Charity ) or please God make a no vote happen so that TB need to offer more ..
Thanks ,
Let’s see if this works guys and girls
Totally agree CR888. i cant believe someone hasnt outbid bravo. Seems crazy
Then a huge rise in share price with new higher bid
Agree ( my spare Dark shares I invested in china funds now up 10 per cent or more already )
How ever a “ Surprise “ new bud could happen anytime and in that case wipe the smile off tone who sold out at 600 p to 620 p
Honestly it be be very strange with Nasdaq , S and P and US Dollar all high, for someone else not to come in and bid higher within 3 weeks...
I bet @one flying car powered by solar energy"....that a new bid will happen...well you know what I mean
Why not vote no .....
We were already 520 p around on the day the offer announced
Yes pound stronger a bit
The Scheme should be announced in next 6 to 12 days ? Then the clock starts clicking 21 days til
the no vote ?
Agree it should have been a much higher offer as would naturally be over 550 now anyways 🤷♂️
So true the more i think. WE DONT N3ED BRAVA.
Yanks go home
GBP USD 1.27 now as £ getting stronger over 1.25 rate at time of $7.75 offer
Hi Desertsands, and thanks.
It is one I would be interested in.
Hi Wynstanley
Think it’s being managed by the usual Peel Hunt & Jeffries combination but I tried to find additional buy in info yesterday and came up blank. My platform is AJBell & they didn’t have any further info to add beyond what was already public.
If I find out I will post here ….. I’d like to be in there - they will certainly be snapped up by one of the bigger boys in the not too distant
I’ve so far stuck a chunk on my DARK into recoveries at
AML, ASC, AVCT, AWE, BOO, CTEC, OTB, QQ., TERN
Up 2.99% from sell out at 620 here
At 598 here I’d be 3.5% down but am now 6.77% up on DARK
No brainer to make money work
AML is heavily tipped with a big recovery upside
Raspberry Pi
We would be 500 plus anway without the bid by these clowns
I'm sure we're all moving on, or looking up potential opportunities.
Does anyone fancy IPO 'Raspberry PI' ? I know I do
who will be the opening broker?
Be nice if we got an improved bid ……
As the BOD have recommended the one on the table it is unlikely but nevertheless, it would be nice
Lift her dress....and then what?
In today's FT, Jeremy Hunt on creating a $1Tn company in the UK. He does know it was Mike Lynch who created Darktrace?
“When it comes to someone like Darktrace, what I want to make sure is that if the people who set up Darktrace want to be as big in terms of valuation as an Amazon or a Google or a Microsoft, they can do that in the UK,” Hunt said.

By around 28 days from now around
When would likely date for takeover be if no other parties table a bid
Except Sheltie / me and HKK and a few others
But we all love Dark for different reasons
I expect Dark to lift her dress within 3 weeks !
I’m sure Jefferies will do quite well financially out of the take-over . Impartial they are not - they will act in their own best interests. And those of the SHs is not one of those interests. Saying an offer is “fair and reasonable” does not equate with a recent much higher valuation they gave as a broker recommendation which is supposed to be “fair” value.
Whenever an advisor does well out of the advice given it is a red flag .
