Epwin Group PLC, up 30% at 118.00 pence, 12-month range 82.00p-120.00p. The Solihull, England-based manufacturer of energy efficient and low maintenance building products accepts a takeover offer from Laumann Group, a provider of construction-related products and IT services headquartered in Westphalia, Germany. The offer comprises 120 pence in cash per Epwin share, which is around a 32% premium to Epwin's closing price on Wednesday, and values all of Epwin's equity at around GBP167.3 million. It implies an enterprise value of roughly GBP269.6 million, including Ebwin debt. "The acquisition recognises the strengths of the Epwin business, allowing shareholders the opportunity to realise their investments in cash and in full at a higher level than the Epwin shares have traded in more than eight years, whilst providing Epwin with a stable and supportive new owner, committed to the continuity of the business, strategy and approach," explains Epwin Chair Stephen Harrison. "Following careful consideration, as a board we have unanimously concluded that the acquisition is in the interests of our key stakeholders." The takeover is expected to complete in the fourth quarter.
