SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
Senior PLC, down 6.7% at 148.31p, 12-month range 41.00p-164.60p. Shares in the aerospace parts maker are lower after it rejected a GBP738 million takeover proposal from Lone Star Global Acquisitions Ltd late Friday. Private equity firm Lone Star made an offer of 176 pence, which was its third unsolicited proposal. Senior rejected the offer saying it undervalued the company. In addition, Peel Hunt places its rating on Senior Under Review from Add.

Amigo Holdings PLC, down 2.6% at 8.08p, 12-month range 4.84p-30.30p. The guarantor loans provider says it will not appeal a UK court decision rejecting scheme of arrangement. Amigo says it is considering all options, including insolvency or another scheme of arrangement. "Without a scheme, Amigo faces insolvency as it will be unable to satisfy its customer compensation claims as well as meeting the legally binding funding obligations owed to its secured creditors. The board is committed to finding the best solution it can for Amigo's customers and other stakeholders and will be working with its stakeholders, including the FCA, to achieve that solution as quickly as it can," says Chief Executive Officer Gary Jennison.
