UPDATE: CareTech independent directors prepare for takeover offer

ALN

Sheikh Holdings Group Investments Ltd said on Monday it was in the early stages of a possible takeover offer for CareTech Holdings PLC.

The family office of Farouq and Haroon Sheikh confirmed it is in the ‘early stages’ of forming a consortium to consider making an offer for the share capital of CareTech, a London-based social care services provider.

The Sheikh brothers founded CareTech in 1993, and hold positions as executive chair and chief executive officer respectively.

The statement was released in response to a Sky News article released on Sunday evening.

‘If the brothers proceed to a formal offer, it would be the latest in a string of ’public-to-private‘ transactions and provide an indication that deal-making activity in the City is not being brought to a halt by market uncertainty caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine,’ Sky News reported.

Sheikh Holdings confirmed the board of CareTech had not yet been approached in relation to the potential offer. It now has until April 4 to announce an intention of a firm offer or withdraw from the process.

CareTech later noted the announcement by Sheikh Holdings. It confirmed its board has not yet received an approach and also the put-up-or-shut-up deadline of April 4.

CareTech said the independent members of its board have formed a committee, led by Jamie Cumming, to consider any possible offer.

CareTech shares were up 9.6% to 642.00 pence each in London on Monday afternoon.
