M&C Saatchi Share Price (SAA)

Yes, none of it a surprise to me and predicted from the start. Stock offers for companies are never a great idea, IMO.

Will be interesting to see if those II’s who were backing ADVT, and then rescinded it on the back of NFC’s (at the time) better offer, go back to supporting ADVT!

What a mess, reject the bid they say[ but we will vote for it] and once we are stand alone Vin M can disrupt our strategy which will undermine the business. FFS.

Urraca - do you really think this deal is still going through?

It’s now equivalent to less than £2 per share. No chance. And what I’ve been saying all along. The structure of the deal was all wrong. Far too much stock and not enough cash.

We’ll see who ends up right. I’ll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong if this deal goes through. My guess is no, not on these terms.

I refuted Docs lies and assertion that I 'could not have a reasoned debate' by citing publicly available information, which now means I 'don't want to hear anything but positives'. Lol. I bet Vin is paying you peanuts too, eh Doc? Have you doubled down yet?

andsoforth - a shame. I like good, solid debates on the pros and cons, as well as possible outcomes.

Sadly, every board has a Urraca. Those that don’t want to hear anything but positives.
