IN BRIEF: Watchstone remains opposed to Polygon takeover move

23rd Aug 2021 17:56

Watchstone Group PLC - cash shell with remaining assets comprising litigation assets, contingent liabilities and cash - Notes Polygon Global Partners LLP receives acceptances for mandatory cash offer worth 34 pence per Watchstone share in respect of 560,550 shares, representing around 1.2% of Watchstone's issued share capital. When combined with Polygon's 30% stake, this figure stands at just over 31%. Polygon extends offer to August 31. "The board continues to recommend shareholders as a whole not to accept the offer for the reasons set out in its response to shareholders dated 23 July 2021," Watchstone says. Polygon in its statement on Monday says: "The offer provides a clear, immediate, cash reward for Watchstone shareholders in contrast to a uncertain, future, possible return depending on a number of external factors and risks."

Current stock price: 38.00 pence

Year-to-date change: down 34%
