If can wait 6 / 12 months - China investment funds might work - but downside near term with Usa elections

Which other shares are a good bet in Uk now any their current level ?

Dark looks to be going for 615 p give or take

IAG I have held before in Covid and experienced a roller coaster including issue of new shares , how is the debt on IAG , well

I do agree travel is picking up , I myself have been 8 flights across the world in past 6 weeks ! But it’s taking long time from Cruise ship companies laden with debt to recover , airlines recovering faster

Let’s focus on new shares that Dark money could be reinvested … any good ideas welcome

I suggest RR for starters :) maybe even Lloyds :)

Strange unless they believe the regulator will say No

Has the regulator had any significant history in stopping takeovers by Usa companies of Uk companies on basis of national security or interest ?

TB and the Bod have one main interest !

Nividia have a monopoly

Dark is one of 1000 s of Cyber software

The Labour Party might decide its fate

Agree with you Getagrip

The MI5 or MI6 should step in accordingly .. this is a national security issue ( like selling Bea )

Also Poppy and the BOD have filled their boots , and by selling low the BOD hope THoma Bravo will fill their boots even more - it’s verging on unethical behavior by the BOD . I am sure Mike lynch will also complain as he will not be rewarded. ( or will he ) by Thoma Bravo

Sorry Sheltie - you were clueless when you sold out at 350 p or there around .

Your RR investment did even better

It is quite fair to say a new bidder could have come in to bid for Dark . poppy and the bod sold out Dark too early and too lower price ( so that they can be given more benefits by TB in the private company . what the BOD did not expect was Lynch court result . TB has great influence over software investment bankers who probably held back getting their clients to counter bid without Poppy’s blessing .

This vote is now subject to final approval by the regulators… is there any reason for Uk regulators to block this bid .

No one dares to trump Thoma Bravo

Too many other deals in future

Done !

Move on

Well … which other shares do investors like in Uk

A yes vote most likely

Only 4 trading hours left for another bid

Darktrace investor relations team said a few weeks ago

1 . 19 per cent of shares are already committed to a Yes vote

2. A few weeks ago the chances of a no vote , most unlikely ( unless Lynch court case result swings the vote with big shareholders )

Poppy I agree now not care ( except that Lynch is out of Jail ) that’s hugely embarrassing for her , she sell out while he is in court - to save herself the Bod and to enrich herself with Thoma Bravo offer , quite frankly Dark share price would be above 600 p now without an offer ..,

We might need to find new shares - serious ideas welcome

Well are some people betting a No vote, the share price now around 567 p ( because Mike lynch had his supportive legal battle victory ? )

Games being played today - a sudden drop to 550 p and bounce back within seconds or minutes

Interesting observation ( now we expect very little chance of last minute bid ) and assuming not other bid ….

Exchange rate could go anywhere by end of deal ( that could be a reason ) and also the time value , opportunity cost of holding until

The end , these 2 factors could be enough

Low risk of a no vote , sadly for long term holders , it’s very likely a Yes vote

We might need to focus on new shares

The vote is most likely a Yes vote … Dark has only hours for another bidder to appear from nowhere !

Other buyers may have been rebuffed by Poppy in past 21 days - well it seems only hours better another Uk tech company bites the dust
