Taking guard

Article Abstract:

Rolfe and Nolan stockholders are being offered a deal by SunGard Data Systems which will pay for stocks at a premium of 46%, though in SunGard paper rather than in cash. Currency risks and dealing costs reduce the benefits of the offer for private investors, but SunGard is attractive stock, having seen a strong price rise. Merrill Lynch may offer UK investors a cheap stock dealing service. There will be some delay, and an alternative offer could be made, with Misys as the only likely candidate.
