Dear Sirs,
I am a shareholder in Anexo Group PLC, and I write to formally object to the proposed takeover by Alabama Bidco Limited, jointly controlled by DBAY Advisors, Alan Sellers, and Samantha Moss.
My key concerns:
Undervaluation: The 60p offer represents a clear discount to historic prices and the previously mooted 80p, constituting a take-under.
Conflict of Interest: Executive directors are buying the company they manage, directly contravening the spirit of Rule 21 of the Takeover Code.
Lack of Competitive Process: There is no evidence of an open auction, depriving shareholders of a chance at fair value.
Delisting Coercion: With majority control secured, the process is removing shareholder protections and oversight, without genuine alternatives.
This process undermines trust in UK markets and damages shareholder confidence. I call on:
The Takeover Panel to investigate breaches of Code obligations
AIM Regulation to delay or challenge the proposed delisting
Anexo's Board to account for their duty to all shareholders, not just those within the Bidco consortium
I am outraged that senior executives believe that they can execute this kind of insider-engineered transaction at the expense of minority shareholders without offering any meaningful recourse or redress.
I call on the takeover panel to investigate breaches of code obligation, AIM Regulation to delay or challenge the proposed delisting and Anexo’s board to account for their duty to ALL SHAREHOLDERSnot just those in the bid consortium.
Sincerely,
xxxxx
