………………………………………………………
This sentence is written in the formal, legal style of corporate communications, often used during mergers and acquisitions. Here’s a simplified breakdown of what it means:
• The Board of Wood: This refers to the board of directors of the company named Wood.
• Has indicated to Sidara: They have told Sidara (likely another company) something.
• That, should a firm offer…: If Sidara makes a formal, legally binding offer to buy Wood, under Rule 2.7 of the Code (this refers to the UK Takeover Code, which governs how takeover bids are made and disclosed),
• On the terms of the Possible Offer: And if the offer matches the previously discussed terms,
• It would be minded to recommend such an offer: The board is inclined or likely to recommend this offer to its shareholders,
• Subject to agreement of the full terms and conditions: But only if the full details of the deal are acceptable.
In essence: Wood’s board is saying they would likely support and recommend Sidara’s formal offer to buy the company—if the final terms and conditions are agreed upon and align with what’s already been discussed.
