Waver of Rule 9 for the merger26 Jun 2020 19:19
I have been waiting to see if anyone else would post this before i did. I have googled this Rule 9 and all I can find is that it requires the company making a "take over" (PHE) to make a MADATORY offer in cash or shares. So I assume that the offer made in the RNS today (although not in TPI circular) of 1,437,440277 PHE shares is PROVISIONAL pending agreement by us PHE shareholders at the GM. Is this waver just a proceedural method of getting AN agreement through at the meeting, or does it mean that the Bod can make any offer of shares they like regardless of shareholders wishes?
