Equiniti, up 8.1% at 182.09 pence, 12-month range 96.00p-184.00p. The outsourcer hits new 12-month high on Thursday, after accepting a takeover bid from Siris Capital. Equiniti received a 180p per share offer from Earth Private Holdings, a newly formed company owned by funds managed or advised by Siris Capital.

Renewi, up 3.0% at 54.60p, 12-month range 18.24p-56.40p. The waste-to-products firm upgrades its expectations for the year ending March 31, 2022. For the year just gone, revenue falls 4.6% to EUR1.69 billion but it swings to a pretax profit of EUR18.2 million from a EUR59.4 million loss. It expects results for the new year to be "materially ahead" of prior expectations.
