The re-financing was always going to happen regardless.
I don't see a reason why all parties would agree to an extension if there wasn't already an understanding on a fair price, especially after last year and Sidara immediately coming back to the table as soon as they could.
If Sidara felt like the price wasn't right for them, they could have walked today, yet they've asked for an extension.
If Wood thought Sidara weren't serious about offering an acceptable price, they could have denied the extension.
'Wood subsequently received a non-binding, conditional proposal from Sidara related to a possible cash offer for the Company. Following this, Wood provided Sidara with access to due diligence information and entered into discussions with Sidara.'
I've been part of a few failed takeovers over the years, so I'm well aware of the risk and how things can change quickly, but at the moment, all the signs are pointing towards a deal being reached.
The price? Who knows, no chance of anything over £1.25, 80p-£1 would be fair.
