Every RNS has confirmed there might be no offer. There must therefore be a plan B that has been worked through.

Lol

Short positions seem to be overheating

Over the weekend the FT flagged the problems buy-out firms are having raising - most investors want exits it seems. Could be a sad case of good opportunity, wrong time.

Maybe we can claw back when the unknown FCA affect becomes known

Tend to agree, things appear more fishy than Shore Lane

" bonk holiday "

will do.

“ I do not trust the Wood board to reject the 35p deal “

Altogether now…… “there is NO deal”

Hmmmmm. Nov 11th ish the highest 52 week price falls below 80p. Let’s hope this is pushed through this month.

Good news. Progress.

Bob - do i need to use ai to udnerstand ai now?

Looks like what it has always suggested, 35p done deal - wrapped up in cautionary language

".If you sell an asset you don't still own it, this asset was part of the package that Sid might possibly bidding on..."

sure - but if you sell it for more than it's book value ...............................?

Amers - ok, let's round it up.

Same old same sold, Amers. Been a while. Hope things have faired well for you.

Does that not reduce the amount Sid need to pay in by c. £100M? therefore, all other things being equal, the pps ought to now be c. 50p?

3/4 of target achieved pretty much H1. Not bad

" Just under half what Sid are offering for the whole company 😂😂 " - lol

Sept/Oct usally v bad for UK market. Maybe the FCA inv is (kindof) a help.

Sid claim they don't have a scoobie what's in store and the long tabled strike price is suddenly now (not on the FCA RNS) shakey .........

ppppppppppppuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

" the veracity of the FT article - although, I suspect they have reasonable sources. " - aye, the shorts.
