(Sharecast News) - Frenkel Topping said on Monday that it was in advanced discussions with private equity firm Harwood about a possible takeover offer.
Under the terms of the possible offer, Frenkel shareholders would receive 50p per share in cash. Alternatively, they would be entitled to 10p in cash, 6p in loan notes, 1p in ordinary shares and 33p in preference shares.
Shareholders would also remain entitled to receive the proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2024 of 1.375p per share.
The price represents at 19.5% premium to Frenkel's mid-market closing share price on Friday.
