Brit bid talks make progress

TIP UPDATE: It looks like bid talks for Lloyd's insurer Brit are making decent progress
September 20, 2010

It seems that the potential bid for Lloyd's insurer Brit by Apollo Global Management is heading towards a successful conclusion.

IC TIP: Buy at 1037p

Apollo has announced that, in addition to the 1,075p a share that it suggested back in July, the company is prepared to offer up to 25p a share more - potentially taking the offer price to as high as 1,100p a share. That full extra payment is dependent upon Brit's full-year net tangible assets (NTA) reaching 1,100p a share, but would be reduced on a pro-rata basis should the NTA figure turn out to stand between 1,075p and 1,100p.
