smudge Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Villa takeover deal 'could be sealed in early January' Jan 2 2006 By Neil Connor The consortium behind a £64 million bid for Aston Villa told the Stock Exchange yesterday that talks were "progressing" as normal. The statement came after speculation that a deal could be completed early in the New Year. Michael Neville, the Solihull-based businessman who is fronting the bid by Irish property developers Brian and Luke Comer, had said there was a "possibility" a deal could be finalised in early January. The mergers and acquisitions specialist last night refused to comment on the announcement, which came as the consortium continued to inspect the books at Villa Park as part of the 'due diligence' stage of the bid. The statement - while suggesting there was "no certainty" that an offer for the club would be made - stressed that any possible takeover of Villa would aim to ensure the club prospered in the future. It was posted by Aston Villa Investments Limited (Avil), the acquisition vehicle formed by the consortium. The statement said: "Discussions are ongoing with Aston Villa Plc's advisors. Due diligence is progressing and Avil is focused on settling its financing arrangements. "Avil also wishes to make it clear that it is committed to concluding a transaction on terms acceptable to the major shareholders of Aston Villa and to enable the club to prosper in the future. "For the avoidance of doubt there can be no certainty that an offer will be made nor as to the terms on which an offer might be made nor as to the timing of any offer." Brian Comer, aged 45, and Luke, aged 47, are understood to have met Villa chairman Doug Ellis. Villa are seen as an attractive investment because of the club's lack of debt and abundant assets. However, Ellis has been accused of refusing to relinquish power by sources close to previous takeover attempts. He rebuffed a £47 million offer from former Birmingham City player Ray Ranson, and is also understood to have rejected approaches from Russian and Venezuelan bidders. Should we not hold our breath for tomorrow then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icklevillan Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 When i've Googled companies in that Takeover Table, most have come up with a news article saying that the company has been taken over. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that I think we can start the party. At the very least, there's been an offer made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonrx Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 According to www.londonstockexchange.com we are still under a bid situation. I don't think anything has changed. Small amounts of shares are still changing hands as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide a link or paste it here (with source) ? The LSE is still showing trading in Villa shares, and states we're in a bid situation still.

icklevillan Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think, what it is, given that there has been no announcement made that it's definitely happened, that an offer has been made for above a certain % of the stock, and that that has triggered the need to disclose.... which is good because it's clear from everything that Comer and Neville have said so far - that they're not looking to take a minority shareholding.
