IC TIP: Hold at 41p

To do so, it must reduce the number of outstanding warrants, and is offering 0.83 per cent of a new ordinary share, or 35p in cash. More than three-quarters of its warrants are held by directors and Raven's two largest institutional investors, including Invesco Perpetual, who have all announced they will convert their holdings into shares in the new vehicle.

Raven says its portfolio of warehouses around Moscow and St Petersburg is now 78 per cent let, including deals in progress.
