Details (last updated 22 Aug 2024)

The boards of International Distribution Services Plc and EP UK Bidco Limited recently announced the terms of a takeover. Under the terms of the takeover, you have been offered 370p for each share held.

 

The 370p is made up of a capital payment of 360p per share and dividends totalling 10p per share.

 

The boards have announced the timetable for the takeover offer has been suspended. The suspension has been put in place whilst certain regulatory approvals are sought. This means the last date on which the offer can be declared successful has been extended and is now expected to be in the first quarter of 2025.

 

The offer will remain open for acceptance until this time. If you’ve already accepted the offer, it will be processed as soon as the timetable suspension is lifted.

 

If you don’t want to sell any shares, you don’t need to do anything.

 

Depending on the level of acceptance the offeror has announced their intention to delist or compulsorily acquire the remaining shares at a later date.

HL cannot guarantee that the data is accurate or complete, and accepts no responsibility for how it may be used. Business summary, contact details and key personnel provided by Thomson Reuters. Important dates provided by Digital Look Ltd. General stock information provided by NBTrader.

The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.

Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
