Advanced Medical Solutions in takeover talks with H.B. Fuller

(Sharecast News) - AIM-listed medical supplier Advanced Medical ​Solutions confirmed on Thursday that it has received an unsolicited takeover proposal from US adhesives maker H.B. Fuller.

"Discussions with H.B. Fuller are ongoing and there can be no certainty that a firm offer will be made, nor as to the terms on which a firm offer might be made," the company said in a brief statement.

Under UK takeover rules, H.B. Fuller has until 1700 BST on 18 June to either announce a firm offer or walk away.

At 1335 BST, the shares were up 4.7% at 221.50p.

Confirmation of the approach from H.B. Fuller came just days after private equity firm TA Associates said it was not planning to make an offer for the company.

AMS said at the time that it "remained confident" in its standalone prospects and strategy "which it believes will continue to deliver sustainable growth and value creation for shareholders".
