Deal looking likely ... "Those close to the process said it indicates that the offer was getting close to being acceptable for Wood’s board"

Apologies oj17. Ignore my post below. Just re-read your post (I'd misinterpreted it!) ... we're saying the same thing

Not quite correct oj17. The ex-dividend date is the date which is used to decide which shareholders will receive a dividend payment. Shareholders who own shares in the company before the market opens on the ex-dividend date will receive a dividend payment. Shares bought on or after the ex-dividend date will not qualify for the dividend.

Just re-read news of the recent Wind Agreement.

https://worldoil.com/news/2023/3/30/hitachi-energy-petrofrac-secure-landmark-offshore-wind-agreement-from-tennet/

Two subtle elements in particular caught my attention and provide optimism there'll be more such agreements (hopefully!) in future ...

1) The agreement includes an ***initial*** commitment to deploy six record-breaking renewable integration systems

2) In fact, we are already hiring to expand our global delivery capacity and effectively fulfill these ***and other orders***

Interesting times ahead

Interestingly, the board considers 230p significantly undervalues Wood ... from the RNS "The most recent approach was received on 26 January 2023 and proposed a cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Wood at a price of 230 pence per Wood share (together with the first two proposals, the "Proposals"). The Board carefully considered each of the Proposals, together with its financial advisers, and has engaged on a limited basis with Apollo. The Board unanimously rejected each of the Proposals, having concluded that they each significantly undervalued the repositioned Group's prospects."
