"However, having carefully evaluated the Final Proposal, together with its advisers, and following significant engagement with its shareholders, the Board of Intertek considers that the financial terms of the Final Proposal deliver value in cash to Intertek shareholders at a level which it would be minded to recommend to Intertek shareholders should a firm intention to make an offer pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Code be announced on these financial terms, and subject to satisfactory agreement of the full terms and conditions of any offer and definitive transaction documentation."

Discount should close.

I think the board will accept the offer now. They haven't strongly rejected the takeover offer, and their strategic review will take a long time to complete and implement

Good enough for me.

Still trading at a big discount to the offer - the market doesn't believe it's going to happen

ZIGUP plc (LSE: ZIG), announces that on 21 April 2026, Mark Tasker-Wood, a PCA with Katie Tasker-Wood (a PDMR) sold 35,540 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company at a price of £4.22 per share.

Sold at the top. The very top - 🤔

"As announced on 17 March 2026, Trustpilot will commence a further share buyback programme, of up to £22.5 million, on the trading day immediately following completion of the Buyback Programme announced on 16 September 2025. Full details of the further share buyback programme are set out in the announcement dated 17 March 2026."

"you might have expected mirrors, both inside and out, to outlast the vehicle's expected lifespan, now they tend to have to be replaced periodically because their electrical components wear out"

That's not true.

And batteries rarely require replacement within the average vehicle lifespan, and in many cases, they outlast the rest of the car.

Please be real.

Good update. At 300p it yields 7%. Happy with that.

Big drop though

So RIO is yielding > 10% and has a decent track record. In an inflation world, this seems too good to be true - what am I missing please?

Seems to be trading in a narrow range since June. Break up or break down?

From RNS 9th April
"Redde Northgate (UK, B41H739) will be added to the FTSE 250 Index"

Guess that explains the recent rise

Still at > 9% divi with a progressive policy in place and takeover potential too.

I don't understand their figures, they show columns for
H1 2021
H1 2020
Is that the H1 2021 a mistake?

I can't help read this and think there is something in the books we don't know about
"In light of its own due diligence and in compliance with its investment criteria, M&P confirms that it does not intend to make a competing offer for Amerisur."
They didn't have to make that statement about the due diligence.

Going to be sickening if they ramp up post deal - which I suspect they will. CPO-5 increases will confirm ONGC, OBA increases will confirm board were holding this co back.

From the recommended offer RNS "although GeoPark Colombia reserves the right to effect the Transaction by way of a Takeover Offer with the consent of the Panel (where necessary) and in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement"
So if they don't get 75% then they'll revert to a standard takeover which requires 50%.

Looks like it went via Investec the house broker.
Bought 11,218,037
Sold 11,218,224

Big sale of 10,443,037.
They aren't sticking around

Thanks threeputt.
Why would they stipulate that rather than the normal take over code? Guessing because of the next sentence "In addition, a special resolution, to deal with certain matters ancillary to the Scheme, must be passed by Amerisur Shareholders representing at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast at the Amerisur General Meeting." - ????

Also begs the question: What percentage of people would not be aware of this vote because their shares are tucked away in a lost pension somewhere? 5-10%? To get 75% vote with this offer, they are going to play hardball big time.

According to this document https://www.slaughterandmay.com/media/39320/a-guide-to-takeovers-in-the-united-kingdom.pdf
page 46 at more than 50%:
"offer capable of becoming unconditional as to acceptances"
Looks like a done deal then?
