MickR,
The increase in holdings on the 18th April was the conversion of a CFD as the total voting rights didn't change it could be argued that in relation to the take over code no stock ( or voting rights ) were acquired on this date. A lot of Mike Ashleys shares here were a CFDs with Goldman Sachs agreed years earlier for ( from memory ) 60p + He took a risk and lost on that one so he had to acquire the stock at that price. In regard to the 12 month period I believe he is free to offer what he wants.
