Why do people think there will be no deal?
It does not seem logical.
ARC asked for a big deal, AA offered something less, ARC countered.We know this already.
If AA say no to the counter and ARC think rejecting an AA deal is very bad, they will settle for the initial deal, or AA will offer slight improvement for sake of nobody loosing faith.
Given nobody knows the initial offer, ARC cannot end up looking stupid by backtracking, we will never know what actually happened.
You can bet your dollars that AA did not table an initial offer that is below the current share price because it is insulting, it would be pointless.
If AA put a very bad offer, ARC would not have bothered to bring in Rothschilds. Some may say the initial offer was crap, so rothschilds come in to find other options, however they are also bound by the EA, so they could not speak to others so could do no work. Again it makes no sense
Rothschilds will also not come in for a 'no win no fee deal' if the initial deal was s%%t , as they would see no way to broker agreement as the sides are too far away.
The initial deal will be more than todays price.
It may not be the mega deal we want (12p plus).
But it will probably be north of 7p and that is fine for most shareholders
