Sinclair Pharma Share News (SPH)

It is mainly fallers on TechMARK today with many of the shares declining after a limited number of trades. The Sinclair Pharma share price has fallen below the level prior to the announcement of a proposed merger with AIM-quoted IS Pharma. Sinclair is offering 2.6868 of its shares for each IS Pharma share so this has a bearing on the attractiveness of the offer. At 37p per Sinclair share, each IS Pharma share is valued at just over 99p. That is still nearly 10p more than the present share price. Last November, IS Pharma raised £12.5m at 80p a share. Some investors believe that the deal makes more sense for Sinclair than IS Pharma. The bid has still not been finalised. Risers are in short supply. XP Power continues to rise on the back of yesterday's figures. Yet again Asterand's price rise is due to a widening of its spread. The spread has moved from 16p/19p to 16p/20p. The only trade this morning was at 17.95p a share. FTSE TechMARK - Risers XP Power Ltd.
