And at a 1.40 buy,my have a chance short term,only small money..

Times ays RTO being stalked by a buyer.

Also about to name a new CEO.

Price currently quoted at 157p.

Just read Traders BB, papers appear full of it.

Did here similar things last september sw.

nothing deffo yet.

Sitting in a pretty good position now,from the 1.40 buy.

More bait being taken ,bound to find that rat soon!

looks like it..........

Well something seems to be getting the City excited.

Well, fwiw, the ask and bid opened out to 1p late on which to me is a sign that the mm dont know whats going on or which way it will go.

Could be more rumour, could be something in it.

We shall see!

SW,email on the way.

dd Times says +8 due to positive response to post results Investor Meeting Presentation.

No sign of a takeover then..............

Any sign of good news will do me pat,all helps.

Financial Times

RENTOKIL INITIAL (a nameless US private equity group fingered as building a stake)

Go on my son.

Go on gerry,make your pitch.

WHAT PRICE ARE WE LOOKING AT IF THIS IS TAKEN OVER?SOME HUGE TRANSACTIONS AFTER THE CLOSE.

250 sounds about even money to me,considering RTO position of late.

Dave it's reported this may be a reverse takeover and some are muting 17p on the price.......... over on ADVFN.

Can't see that, but you never know.

Thereal issue is that the results are out very soon and expected to be abysmal, don't think that will be too helpful.

Wait and see I suppose.

SW,look where its been price wise if it goes & who knows,225/250. Or they mite just give these people time to find a solution at the helm..

I bet they wish mr 20% was at the wheel.

Indeed.

More smoke this morning.

Price still at reasonable levels.

Won't last.

Robinson brings in Europa for Rentokil bid - report
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Sir Gerry Robinson has brought in boutique investment bank Europa to invest alongside his own company Raphoe Management on any bid for Rentokil Initial PLC, the Financial Times reported, without citing sources.

Europa, founded by former Warburg bankers including David von Simson, controls the 28.5 pct of Raphoe not owned by Robinson. That means if the former Granada chairman gains 10 pct of Rentokil, Europa will own 2.8 pct of that, the paper said.

Raphoe said Monday it will approach Rentokil with a view to bidding for the troubled UK hygiene-to-pest-control group.

They have already appointed pension consultants to asses the company's liabilities, the FT added.
