Given that In todays announcement , our board has spelled 'favour' the american way , it really looks like a done deal to me.lol
Gkerr, what will happen next is the sp will rise , to around £5.60 when the market opens , so you can cash in immediately with little loss. However , if the market thinks other bidders might emerge the sp could go much higher than that. Personally I will wait and see because I think this should be at least £6 .
Fantastic news. I've been long on ETO and I need a new car.
How long do these things normally take to settle?
Just brilliant.
Does seems like it's done and dusted, Throop moving over to Hasbro ... Have to admit to being slightly disappointed with £5.60.
Hasbro earlier in a statement said "top eOne executives have agreed to join the Hasbro team," without identifying who they might be.
"Along with our leadership team, I look forward to working with Hasbro on our joint growth and success for many years to come," eOne CEO Darren Throop, who will continue to lead the indie studio, said in his own statement.

Looks like a done deal I think.
Maybe I’m just greedy expecting more.
Still it’s always nice to get a take over and make a bit of money :)
I agree, the price looks mean - lets hope others step forward given the muted consolidation in europe also. At least the starting gun has been fired.
Just announced ..£5.60 a share...I’m disappointed in that.

I think I’d be a be a little miffed at just £6 a share.
When you look at the portfolio of movies and tv they have, the strong team in place, Mark Gordon etc
But it’s beyond my knowledge on pricing the sale value of something like this.
At a £6 take out price the company would be only £3bn , which is tiny compared to the big us companies in this race.
Does make sense with more competition arriving in the space. Even itv and bbc coming up together with Brit box. All adds to the drive for good content.
It’s certainly would be a good fit for theses companies like apple and Disney who will need additional content to add to their catalogue when they have their streaming services up and running.
And the price has been to low anyway of late so it might just be a correction to bring it back up to the higher 400’s
No idea, my speculation is that this company would be a useful addition to the big companies trying to offer original content, e.g Disney, Netflix etc . They could be bought for small change atm, so with gbp low they are at bargain levels.
Any idea on reason for rise taverham?
As the price rises the plot thickens - better than a netflix original. lol.
They are doing well.
So well I’m still of the opinion it’s only a matter of time before someone bigger comes along and makes us an offer we can’t refuse :)

Entertainment One 27th ($2.5b) ... $1.5b in 2018
Provides a nice warm feeling that Peppa Pig and PJ masks going great guns.
Whatever reaction it is today, should be very positive, it’s great news for the future to have him concentrating on what he does best.
Very good news ;)
The shares have recovered from the Mark Gordon fake news story and my guess is that he has been able to negotiate a stella deal as a consequence. Looks like he can transfer a cliff hanging, block buster suspense filled plot into reality.
Hopefully the sp will continue upward - lets see what todays episode brings!
Can anyone remind me how the uncrossing trades UT work. Is it MMs shuffling shares about to balance their books? 1 million share buy / sell gone through.
Some large trades out of hours showing any ideas anyone? Know you can’t trust the blue or red info.
This is why shares annoy me..or the mm annoying me, solely designed to make you lose money.
They didn’t hesitate on plunging this below 400 on a fake news story, but when it’s dismissed they now keep knocking it back when it try’s to get over 400 again
is good news and demonstration of confidence in the company.
Completely agree with that and very good points made by yourself...........
I think this fall is the true harm from the fake news. The price drops on release the price then elevated to be able to say oh well no real harm done let’s carry on as normal but then next few days when folk have been scared off and the price has to reflect true current demand in the market. This company is just as good a company today as it was two weeks ago. Finances haven’t changed largely in that time. So buy buy buy still IMO.
