@Josh. Ditto. I own 300k of thg from my SIPP. Had this offer been taken I could have doubled my pension. Our point is; there is a life attached to each PI. I wonder if it is ever considered?

Here's another analogy.

You have a classic old car which everyone tells you is worth £620.

A local classic car parts dealer tells you he could break up your car and get £2200 for all the parts. But he doesn't make you an offer.

A rich bloke passes your house, loves your car and offers you £2500 for it.

You're an idiot though and you say, nah, maybe I'll get more than that in 10 years time.

@Rock8. Who cares how much of the 35% they buy out. I only care about the price my SIPP gets. And the simple reality is, that in that situation we will be shafted.

What MM and BOD really need to do now is deliver dome results and demonstrate some future long term potential. You can indefinitely keep saying something is worth lots more when there is little or no evidence. If MM can't get the SP over 100 by Sept, then he really needs to go.

I don't think that would be good for PI's. Why would MM and QIA give us 35% a Premium price. I think in that scenario MM and BOD would suddenly realise its worth little more than the current market price per share.

Would be really useful if someone finds out from IR what Apollo final offer was.

There are currently no open shorts (>0.5%) in THG.

Hope it stays that way.

Current final trade of the day over 500,000 buy at 68.69

@Hosai. Agree, but we can't stay here indefinitely and continue to argue it's worth at least 4x the current SP. At some point it just is what it is and as time passes it's harder to argue otherwise.

Here we are 1 year on from when MM said £1.70 under valued the Co.

Today he's pretty much said the same. And, I suspect, the Apollo offer was higher than 170, more likely around SOTP value.

Now it's actually 63p.

He can't credibly keep this line up. He now has a year to get the SP to about 200 otherwise it's not under valued is it?

Wood Group went through this recently.

After discussions ended Apollo came back 5x with offers in the next 6 month. WG accepted the 5th.

Mmmm, £7m Buys, £3m Sells,... wonder what that means.

3m traded in first hour of the day. So blatant.

@Citycon,..

"my crystal ball says"...

What does your other ball say?

Buys after market close.

1.7m share buy @ 88.7

3x 100000 buys with highest at 93.02

For the day, buys massively outweigh Sells.

So what do you think that says.

Volume and trade sizes would not suggest deal is off and there has been a leak.

Forcing price down for more buys on a negative market day.

It doesn't signal anything if there is no RNS AT 7AM. There can still be one today.

It means negotiations not concluded, that's all.

4 days to go.

@knowbody. Good post.
I really do wonder what anybody who votes tory is actually voting for. Everything, literally everything is broken, we are broken Britain, and we are paying more taxes for it. Then it is all capped off with a bunch of lying, grifting charlatans.
Anyone saying, ah yeah, but the other lot are just as bad. Do tell us what the Tor have done that is so great, or maybe, go and cool down with a swim in your local sewer; I mean river.
One would only vote tory now out of malevolence, to finish the country off.

Tories now lost over 1000 council seats and it's going to **** it down on Charlie's parade tomorrow. I guess God didn't get the email.
Lovely weekend.

@wildtiger. The talks are not influenced by daily news. Apollo only looking at 5 year projection after purchase and their own synergies. Your comment really makes no sense.

Actually glad to see no RNS this morning. Talks still ongoing.
The article yesterday didn't say talks had failed, only that they would. But this does confirm it was just one of many opinion pieces.
