I think SAA management may take c220 if it is in cash, and they are well provided for. Seats on the ADVT board for all and free wine gums will see this through. I would not be disappointed in that, and have taken a few ADVT just in case. There has to be a fundraise of some sort there, but at what price and how will be interesting.
Thanks x54v. Taken an opening position here. The cash now stands at around 79p per share, and you can buy at 74.8. In addition there is the 9% holding in SAA. You can by a pound for 75p, so it would be rude not to. There is no actual business here yet, as it was created as a takeover vehicle. But the cash burn is minimal at £0.2m a year, and if the SAA deal goes through, there will be a valuable business here, even if there is mass dilution. I hold SAA too, but taking a holding here seems prudent to me. If the takeover does not go through, which I think it probably will, there should be another target on the horizon.
Either LSE are wrong, or the company is:

I tend to believe the company.
SFOR no longer have the wherewithall to carry that through. It is the ADVT deal or nothing now, I think. The end of the month will tell. A bid at 220 would be very nice, provided we get the bulk in cash. ADVT is down to 75p now, almost 25% down since the bid issue was initially raised.
...results Wednesday. Anybody seen forecasts?

Takeover at Brewin Dolphin was followed by a piece from Shares Mag editor saying he thought RAT could be next on the list for a bid. My money would be on JUP. Rat is too well run.

Does anyone know if ii site is down?
Directors are saying that the price is less of a problem than the proposed strategy. Maybe underlying this is how much the current management will get bunged,
Extension to 28 April.
SAA directors continue to see the offer as undervaluing the company, and have doubts over the proposed strategy. Personally, I cannot see an improved offer being made.
Agreed. A side effect may ba a rise in price due to greater investor interest. After all there is money in the bank, and a PER of 5!
The deadline for ADVT is 1700 Thursday. Interesting times ahead!
Anyone heard any rumours? There has been limited trading activity this month. Is that a good sign?
This will be worth up to £200,000! Wow! (Not!)

PER = 8.1
PEG = 0.6
FORECAST EPS GROWTH = 16%
ROCE = 11%
The pension contributions are reducing.
Schroder's now holding 15%.; Wellcome Trust on 4%.
Recent (24 Jan) update disappointed, with operating profit failing to meet expectations by 15%, but the company remains profitable with limited debt.
You can now buy at less than the fundraising price of 110p of July 2020.
Seems cheap to me.
It totally depends on the market! We will have to wait until the US markets open to see exactly what will happen today. My guess is that we will see the week out slightly down on today, but perhaps not enough to nullify the dividend. Thanks JPM!
