I have just been sent an update from HL.

If you’re still a shareholder at the end of 1 July 2025 and the takeover is approved, you’ll get 1,071 shares and £ 4,849.48 for your 3,739 shares. It is expected that shareholders will also receive up to 5p per share in the form of dividend payments (subject to the approval of the Direct Line Board) prior to the takeover completing. The Aviva plc shares and cash will be credited to your Fund & Share Account on or around 3 July 2025.

So at £11.95 to sell on any upward trend before Tuesday from today’s SP of 305.80p are we better off selling this week

I’m going to be thinking the maths if it’s better to hold and just accept new shares and cash

1071 new shares + £4840 cash + 5p divi ( which we’ve had )

*I want to hold AVIVA shares .

What’s everyone doing ????

eccles04 Is holding, but at which point to ?

I’m not a trader, but found comments from saud trader mention this on 6th June.

Price drop sharply after forming high 177.30 and created a lower low.

Market was trading in secondary trend from last few sessions.

After secondary trend, reversal candlestick pattern is been spotted.

Price is expected to remain bearish for upcoming sessions.

On lower side market may hit the targets of 132 $.

On higher side market may test the resistance level of 178$.

Just seen a whole 20 transactions on 20th June 4pm onwards

What are these?

Could see a continued growth to €180 in short term, then to €230.

Bought 50 this week, so see how it develops after the eruption of a possible war breakout…

They are going to fair better than BOEING going forward..

Give the damn dividend a haircut to 3%, that extra cash can pay down the debt rather paying it back to us growth hungry shareholders.

Hell yeah, I’m wanting those AVIVA shares now haha.. and cash to buy more..

Iv got SPECTRIS going on too atm, which I invested against my broker recommendations back in 2011. I wanted more HSBC, but got lucky there too.

Eccles04, did you accept offer of 275p?

The question is in the point you made..

This gives you the amount of Aviva shares and then you can take the price to work out total value

Is the price then the price on the day we are given the AVI shares?

Supersonic. Are you accepting the deal including cash, or are you selling to rebuy maybe lower?

I’m not sure DLG could run to 315p someone else mentioned. But at what point I’m not sure if I would have time to sell them already accepting deal at 275p.

I’m just trying to work out what my average SP coukd be with me using cash proceeds (£4840 or so )to top up on 1071 AVI shares I would be given.

That’s my dilemma.

Done loads of this before as I have been in stocks since 2003

If deal west through today would that make the AVI shares given to us valued at 553p?

Based on the 11.5% difference in offer we were given at 275p to today’s 306p.

I were holding this on anticipation of the AVI shares. But now with offer price down at 275p am I better off to sell then buy AVI shares myself.

This is the dilemma …

If I decide to just hold out, how do we calculate what the offered shareprice of the AVIVA shares will be on the day?

*****

Both companies are based in London. Direct Line shareholders will receive 0.2867 of an Aviva share, 129.7p in cash, and up to 5p in dividends payments for each Direct Line share held.

********

The current AVIVA sp is 615p DLG 305p.

How do we work it out?? I know there’s a way with offer already been made,

I gain 1071 new AVIVA shares

£4,849.48 in cash

£188 in the 5p cash divi just paid.

Hovering comfortably 11% above offer price.

I came bsck to see if has changed haha

Looks awful the growth, since I have also bought more AMGN , ABBVIE & ROCHE..

Hey losers…

I jumped ship in 2022 to BAE.., my golly feel sorry for yous not knowing what to do.

The graph looks like a mess over 10yrs, and it ain’t changing…

The biggest concern of growth for Bae is a ceasefire which leads to normality, and a change in governmental defence spending.

This is priced at 26 times 3arnings so all is priced in when FTSE trades at 15-16 times 2025 earnings

This trades at fair value in my view hardly any upside, no matter what happens in July earnings

I’m making an exist from BAE, along with my CREDO stock, both outperformed amazing well, up from 477p to 1925p+ who’d have thought that could happen with a steady eddy share like BAE since 2011, but as for those CREDO shares I’m selling too from $21 to $79 in 2yrs, putting these to new position in AIRBUS.

See more upside in AIRBUS than with BA.

Hope you enjoy the profits you make too, just can’t stay with one stock forever…

Lastly, I would take anything that DB says with pinch of salt. There not trusted broker, a broker that should be well under water yrs ago…

Is there going to be a continued spike then a capitulation in sp after Iran go for broke against Israel?

P/E is currently around 27-30 times 2015 earnings.

Earnings that will be rising double digits for sure 10% at least.

Therefore, with TRUMP pumping his muscles with talk about a backlash this could be another short lived spike upwards to 2300p?

We went crazy November upwards to 1600p then back. So could be a g00d 20% upwards over coming couple weeks ahead.

I’m tempted to sell a good tech to add more here..

Onwards n upwards
