WILLIAM HILL will unveil a recommended £486 million ($754 million) takeover of Sportingbet today after hammering out a retention deal with the management of the online bookmaker's Australian division.

The group, which is bidding jointly with GVC Holdings, had hoped to finalise terms by Tuesday's deadline set by the Takeover Panel but was forced to seek an extension until tomorrow to tie in Michael Sullivan, head of Sportingbet Australia, and his top team


Date: Tuesday 16 Oct 2012

LONDON (ShareCast) - Online gaming firm GVC has requested a temporary suspension of trading today following the agreement of a revised and increased possible offer by GVC and William Hill for Sportingbet.

Trading has been suspended because historic financial information in relation to the parts of the Sportingbet's business which may be acquired by GVC has yet to be extracted from Sportingbet's consolidated accounts, GVC explained a in company statement.

It added that talks are at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that they will be concluded successfully.

IC - punchy yield stock GVC has revealed it is taking a dividend holiday in 2016 as it prepares to subsume acquisition target Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment. In May the dividend yield was 9 per cent. The payment holiday may be offputting but there is a clear reason for it. Payments could resume sooner than planned meaning holding on makes sense.

Can GVC sort out BWIN. We need a management reassurance soon , or this will keep on drifting down as no divi for 2016 anticipated.

This may not be a done deal. Will BWIN holders want GVC shares at this low price?

Yes vote. Share price breakout? Up up and away. Main market here we come. 10% dividend reinstated%? Take over rumours? Do the management qualify for a bonus if the share price is £5 on takeover finalisation? What golden nuggets will they find in BWINs itinary? Property? payment company? Spreadbetting business? Exciting times ahead. I Would expect the share price to be between £5 and £9 in the VERY near future. Negatives would be what will happen when BWINs shares get converted,and gambling intervention and taxes in other countries. By the way, is there any interest in america here? I would like to go to Las Vegas.
