Interest rates have skyrocketed, recession looming if anything comes close to 170p MM should bite their hands off.

They know last time they got too greedy.

Thesoundman

Where is he implying that?

More likely thg going private, that what i take.

Exactly, its gonna happen this time.

Thg are likely going private, why waste your time with that post otherwise

The fact appollo were interested last year also makes me think they will make good offer this time round.

If king st were prepared to offer 170p cant see why apollo wont offer in that region.

Most pulled out of making offer last year as thg wanted 250p plus. That was never going to happen.

If 150p to 170p comes they should take it.

They dropped sp due to weak retail sellers, we all knew 2022 was challenging for many companies, results were irrelevant.

Company has received an proposal, who knows both apollo and thg maybe negotiating now, MM didnt mention anything about takeover interest in q&a.

I think this time its diffetent, hold your nerves thg will be sold.

MM let down shareholders last year when he rejected 170p, so he cant make same mistake.

Clearly multiple parties involved. Sale is now or never. Will apollo finally bite or will MM run away with thg and take private.

The PE are aware of this, hence why the sharks are circling.

The sp didnt fall to 76p as soon as conf call started, i know you are disgruntled but come on.

We are awaiting takeover offer, do we believe its only appollo interested? Washington Post wrote about thg takeover and saying 170p is the mark.

I think 150p-170p might just do it. Whatever happens short term an leak to papers of a bid it starts surging again.

Have they purchased 7.94% in a day?

Its gone quiet so thats good sign, more to come over coming days and week.

Edit $50bn not $50m.. lolololol

Appollo have $50bn to spend on aquisition, WG and THG are the first two..

Two possibilities, mm takes it private or PE bids.

Were the books better 1 year ago, when balerion offered 170p?

Remember this year all stocks struggled, rising energy prices, inflation and ukraine war. Thg have done decent if you take this into acc.

Appollo have new office in london, they have $50m of dry powder in investing in cheap companies. Wait for the leaks...

Thg has been getting alot of attention by the media.

The boy who cried wolf this time it will happen, MM knows the pipe dream of 200p are gone. 150p is decent..

A bid will come, if its a joke MM will offer slightly higher and take it private with the ME fund.

Today pi's bailing, alot more to come in my view. Anything can be leaked just like last year and we surge. Can see large funds topping up while pi's run.

I truly believe thg will be sold but 200p plus is unlikely. 150- 170p is likely.

Proposal, surely they came in with figure

Im a bit dissapointed that nothing was mentioned about apollo offer.

Why not tell us, how much they offered, as clearly company hasnt rejected it yet as per rns

Shouldnt they be issuing rns showing buys and sells for II's, now that apollo are interested?

Why is ther multiple alias sayin same thing, "this would tank today if there wasnt bid"

Thg didnt ask for bid, apollo were interested last year and its clear they want it, MM has aldo stated he wants thg to go private.

Hereshopin

Last year he was hoping for 250p, i think close to 170p will do it.

Apollo have a chance to take it on cheap

An offer has been made, i think apollo will make more offers.

MM may take it private.
