Dublin, Ireland - April 18, 2018 - Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPG), the leading global biotechnology company focused on rare diseases, announced today that the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Swissmedic) has validated the marketing authorization application (MAA) for lanadelumab (SHP643). The validation of the MAA confirms that the lanadelumab MAA submission is complete and that the formal review process will begin. Lanadelumab is an investigational treatment being evaluated for the prevention of angioedema attacks in patients 12 years and older with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Lanadelumab was also designated orphan drug status by Swissmedic.

The board of First Group is facing pressure from an activist shareholder to shake itself up amid speculation that the business could be broken up. It is understood West Face Capital, a Canadian asset management firm, has told directors of the train and bus operator about concerns that they are unambitious, have not improved margins as promised and over the company’s corporate governance. Last week it emerged that Apollo Management, one of the world’s largest private equity houses, had approached First Group, a company with a market value of £1.35 billion, with a takeover offer. The proposal was rejected by First, which argued that the offer at an unspecified price “fundamentally undervalues the company and is opportunistic in nature”. The approach has set hares running in the City that First Group may be ripe for a break-up into its constituent parts. As First Rail, it operates the Great Western, South Western and Transpennine train services in the UK where it also has a nationwide bus presence. Its larger American businesses operate school yellow buses, Greyhound intercity coaches and local services. The group employs 100,000 people. Its shares have been marooned for much of the past five years after a 2013 £615 million rescue rights issue. The stock price has risen by nearly 50 per cent before and after the news of Apollo’s approach, closing last night ¼p higher at 111¾p.

AIM has a tendency to do that! I once owned this share at 2.35 ... ! Those were the days!

could be ISA/SIPP transfers?

on ASX (https://www.asx.com.au/asx/share-price-research/company/NWF) - NWF shares still stand at AUD 24.5c ...as suspension is still in place .... Should only drop to AUD20c from a high of AUD28c when the deal was announced ... Just a few days to go ... ! The prize is 1 BILLION worth of diamonds for an outlay of 30 million ... not bad, say I ... -- BB --

I am new to this share .. reading between the lines, it seems that BOD are not much liked and seem to be rather inadequate ... SO ... I can imagine that shareholder sentiment lends to an acceptance of ANY bid for the company. What price per share is expected to be posted for FGP? -- BB--

suspended ...

reading between the lines - the offer is not good enough - and therefore unless K offers 675 - 700 - which does not look likely at this moment - then ... no offer will be made and the Intu deal will go ahead ..

agreed 3.14 ,,, it IS a hassle but it's one (in my view) that is worth it ...

is NWF still suspended on ASX?
