Tom, Hostage T/O means: they start Buying shares in the Company and increase the Holdings until they get 51%
It's cheap way to take over the company and they don't need to declare. Let's say, if a Big Pharmacy contact any Broker (s) and starting Buying shares in Novacyt they will acquire certain (%) percent of the shares by the Broker. Only the Broker will report the holdings - sometimes they are hire 2 or 3 Brokers to do the trades instead of make an big offer.
Most of the time, they hide behind the Broker to avoid the Competition (let's say: Pfizer and GSK or AstraZenenca).
This post It's only a Theory, may be this is not happen or may be will happen soon, but I believe we are in the best share in the market at the moment. Look around and you will see, only few companies are beating the FTSE100 since January 2020 and Novacyt it's one of them for sure.
