Etiquette. Thank you.

Question, if all goes ahead what happens in regard to my shares if I decided not to sell. Or if I did sell on takeover.

No matter what the market deals are (small investors not fund managers are making the price what it is at the moment.) when there is a merger or takeover then you find the true price. So hold and wait for the maths to be sorted through due diligence by the accounting firms.

�Due diligence � this is what they pay the accountancy firms to do. So the figures are not made up but checked by an outside firm so that it�s all a ok.

If another offer comes along they have to look at it on behalf of shareholders. Price up 3 1/2 % before opening.

Anyone selling below 49 is either in financial strife or mad, as the 49 pounds is what the shares are worth when this is agreed. Which will be a cert as the major shareholders will be licking thier lips. Hope another offer comes along ! Hold and wait, good luck everyone.

Be interesting to see what the deal is at least it should move the sp up now that they are working out the merger.

That should be 21: 27 uk.

I cannot see anyone making a takeover at the moment as it�s all about profit, which until the next report is stable. One of the best companies in this field is ESRI which unfortunately are private ( American) which spatial do a lot of business with. Another area is cars which spatial does geo with which is HERE which is like Tom Tom but streets ahead, bmw Volkswagen Audi plus others. I personally have complete faith in spatial as i believe the future for this company is very good.

Seems to me that most believe that Takeda cannot afford to buy shire. Well to put things in a better light it�s the Japanese banks that will be backing this takeover as they lend the cash, and funds managers buy Takeda which banks and insurance companies have stakes in. It�s a big merry go round. Very basically you can liken it to someone with 10 credit cards, moving debit from one to the other. World debit who is it owed to banks and insurance.

Latest rns says they can they are now offering 47 pounds.

Reuters: Takeda to raise bid to over 47 pounds.

I expect a formal announcement Monday from Takeda. I hope!

Next results are going to be good.

Allergan may not be making a formal bid at the moment as I suspect they don�t want a bidding war for shire expect they will be buying shire shares as low as they can and come back. but there may be other companies circling as well.

Good company but way overpriced.

�2.35 at end of the day.

Please buy some shares and help the Russian and Syrian regimes.
