RE: Times article - THG shareholders ‘would dismiss Apollo approach’20 Apr 2023 09:53
Interesting thought
"Apollo also could explore a take-private deal that offered investors shareholdings in the private business. The structure also would allow investors to benefit from operational improvements implemented away from the glare of public markets. Private equity firms often look at these deal structures to win over shareholders, but not all institutional investors are able to take part and benefit from the upside in future years."
So pay a decent premium, take it private, give shareholder cash or shares in the new company, develop and grow and then realise the value.
Would get Matt off the LSE and away from what he terms sloppy journalism.
