Lots of this is so wrong
800p is not a price relevant to the takeover code. It depends on who bidders are
If SoftBank, sofina or merian are involved then price is 596p minimum. If they aren’t then price is whatever it takes to get 75% of the votes. So could be 50p if everyone agreed
800p is not a price based on anything within the code
Also poker it’s a listed business. They can’t “see the books” no one is allowed insider information. You can’t just have a look. No one can have any information that is material that the market doesn’t know
I think this all depends on what SoftBank want to do. They are the ones with a vision here for ingenuity and that is now plugged into so many of their portfolio businesses they can’t just let that run away
