Risk is not worth is anymore

Price is sliced because they can

Someone at EQT will be getting a big bonus

I would not back this deal anymore

Well the market thinks deal will happen

Share price is up 142p since yesterday

Price lowered to 2450p

Deadline 3/7

So looks like it'll go through next week but at a pound less

What the main reason for the fall?

It's a large drop of over 50%

I understand the main reason is delayed projects, slower electric range build up and slower sales in general?

Where is the deal that a miner uses QBT methods to mine bitcoin????

Good news

The due diligence taking it's time

The market seems to have taken it as a positive sign. They are serious about the purchase. I suppose the length of time this takes is a normal procedure for such a massive private equity fund? If it wasn't, I presume they would not be as successful as they are (EQT)

Hopefully a share buyback announced tomorrow

👍

I sold a fair few shares this am (not this one) because the downdrip from the elections. I was not expecting mng to bounce now before the elections but it's clear that the deleveraging news plus broker upgrade is more than enough to push the shares up. Plus it keeps bouncing off £2 so maybe bottom is in here?

So I bought a lot of shares this afternoon.

Good or bad decision I don't know yet!

There might also be a Q1 update tomorrow if last year's pattern repeats. Hopefully everything else is well with the business. Best of luck to all holders, Cheap

Looking like no deal happening?

The question is, what's the share price reaction going to be if it's announced that Parameta is not being sold?

-20%?

Hi share monster.

I agree with your sentiments that the DOB has no intention to sell Parameta.

The US hedge funds that own a stake here are pushing for the Parameta sale to realise value for this company.

It's a double edged sword. If they sell - TP icap loses it's prime jewel and the best part of the business.

From that point of view - I think sale of Parameta is very bad for the company prospects. Parameta is also deeply integrated into the company. For example, even liquidnet feeds data into parameta, as well as other parts of TP icap, so the company is a unit where one part needs the other. So if you sell Parameta, you then need to hand over the data to Parameta going forwards, although you don't own parameta anymore! To me - I am not sure that would ever work!

I think it's possible but difficult.

I would prefer the minority sale of parameta over a full sale.

The reason being then TP icap can keep contorl over this integral part of the business. I also think I would want shares in parameta. But one does get the feeeling DOB doesn't want to do it. In all honesty, it's probably the right thing to do - the problem left will be how to create shareholder value? If the management don't know how - I agree need a new leader. With that said - the current one has done a good job so far compared to the previous one.

Divi is not too high

Issue is broken Uk markets

Only fix is share buybacks

Is this dipping to 180p just prior to election date???

I'm guessing a takeover at more realistic price of 30-35p

The rise makes sense if it's shorts closing

They have millions of shares to buy back don't forget

Hi

Does any expert know if a potential 50% sale of Parameta solution capital distribution includes a special dividend?

I would prefer to take the money as shares in parameta.

Is this likely to be offered as an option?

"EQT which is one of

Europe’s largest private equity managers with €242

billion in assets under management"

it's not like they would be low on cash to buy. Purely pocket money for them. That means likely to happen at 2550p.

By the way, apendragon did NOT close his short prior to takeover bid. We know it from the fact that he was bragging about his short couple of days before the bid and only retrospectively claimed he had closed

Obviously his 130000 short would have cost him about £100k in loser!

That idiot has probably now had close his betting accounts.

He was also so arrogant that he fate is deserved.

Hard lessons are always painful!!!

I find it astonishing that the company is being taken over and no one is chatting.

Goes to show that PIs always flock to the wrong shares.

IMO best of luck on the bid to all holders

Shorts have exited

Marble bar must have lost £20 million £.

Quite clueless professional investors there for you bro

Exit of the shorts imply also that they expect the deal to close at 2550p and don't wanna lose even more money.

Hence still a buy here

Offer is 2550 right?

So why is the sp 2200

Is risj of deal not going through that high??
