As S&N have now sold off their pub estate, theres a great chance that they will become a takeover bid.
This share could rise substantially soon.
What does everyone else think?

Fingers crossed for formal bid at 800p tomorrow Friday 25th following a 24 hour extention given to Carlsberg consortium by T/O panel. Looks like only a question of 'crossing the ts'. However, it may not be the end of the story as mentioned in previous post. sp 761p.

As suspected, SABMiller is rumoured to be lining up a counter bid for Sctn at 850p valuing Company at 8.3 billion pounds. sp 808p up 20p today. Some analysts are sceptical but, the Sctn board have left the door open to higher offers nowithstanding the fact the Carlsberg bid was agreed by them. BBH is the attraction as th Russian beer market grew about 20% last year, I believe. With the shares underpinned at 800p, seems little to lose to see if further developments occur.

sab miller pulled out last night could of had a bidding war bring it on tyey may come back in

read somewhere at weekend that another group where working on making a late counter bid. It was just a brief mention. Can not find where I read it. sp firmer this morning at 790p

its anchuser busch...american company....someone bought almost 2 million shares at 806p

Thanks for that scotinvestor. I see the offer documents arrived today. From page 14 it looks like an inducement fee of nearly 77,000,000 becomes payable if another party successfully enters the fray.

Following approvals at Court Meeting and EGM, proceeds of sale and any floating rate note certs should be due around 12th May.
