A completely alternative view (not one I believe in, but just a thought)
The PE Takeover has nothing to do with MM.
It's a simple smash and grab, which was the plan all along! Someone wants it, they always did, with all the musings everywhere of 250p, it's like they conditioning everyone that this will sell for 250p! Like if you say it so many times, people will eventually believe it!
Last chance saloon for them, BEFORE THG go the long route, separation, separate listings, premium listing etc either grab it all now, or opportunity is lost forever!!!
No doubt MM will/should take it private for a certain price, and that could be 250-300p.
Absolutely ZERO doubt he will sell the whole thing to PE for anything close to 250p, and wash his hands, absolutely no chance!
He refused £4 Billion 4 years ago. And last year he went the separation route, as he thought 600-700p didn't reflect the true value of the whole company! Never ever in a million years he will sell to PE for anything close to 250p.
He PE really want it all, they will have to cough out serious £££££
