Strong activity lifts third quarter
Article Abstract:
An increasingly strong economy in the United Kingdom during 1996 has created the financial environment for a high level of public takeover deals to take place. A survey showed that 17 deals were in progress, two of the takeovers were hostile whilst many of the remaining 15 showed an increase in one day and one month premiums. Other areas included in the survey were the financial services and the retail sector with only one takeover registered in the previously busy utilities markets.

A tale of two buy-ins
Article Abstract:
Black rubber specialist Sovereign Rubber of Stockport, England, and vinyls manufacturer Weston Vinyls of Frome, England, were funded by acquisition finance bank Barclay Acquisition Finance (BAF) for management buy-ins (MBIs) valuing eight million pounds sterling and 5.5 million pounds sterling respectively. BAF was quick to action both applications because it believed in each company strategy and in the people directly involved with the MBIs.
