To takeover or not to takeover?
Article Abstract:
Clarke Nickolls & Coombs' (CNC) 9 million pounds sterling bid for Brightstone Properties is the first hostile bid in the UK property industry since 1989. Richard Upton, who bought a 29% stake in CNC in Jan. 1996, says that critical mass is vital to CNC, and CNC must grow. However, Brightstone has put forward a restructuring plan of its own: Brightstone has found three investors willing to invest up to 3 million pounds sterling, and proposes selling the property portfolio and using the shell company as a vehicle in which to reverse a non-property firm.
