Re: Only buyer Yes, I agree. It sounds like a done deal. If there were any grave objections at this stage, it would have been announced. It is probably just a matter of bureaucracy that it is taking longer than expected. I am also confident that the Board would not have accepted a 155p offer with regulatory issues attached, if there had not been a proper anti-trust investigation, i.e. "legal opinion", in advance.When it finally happens at 155p (hopefully soon), it will be a meagre 3.1% IRR and 1.1x MM for me over a long period! Better than German Bunds, but with much more pain attached! At least I got my money back after all those roller-coaster rides!Best of luck all.

Re: Only buyer I interpreted "has raised a limited number of concerns related to the Transaction." as being a done deal as far as the Competition Authority............Those with funds to do must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Re: Only buyer To the best of my knowledge it should be all done and dusted by the end of January. Slow rise in SP over the last few weeks may indicate the markets do not expect any significant opposition by the Dutch watchdog authority to the De Persgroep bid.

Overname Mecom verstoort concurrentie niet [link] acquisition of the British media company Mecom by De Persgroep has no major effect on competition between newspapers.That says Hans Vedder, Professor of Economic Law at the University of Groningen.'' Two markets play a role in the acquisition, namely the readers and the advertising market, '' said Vedder. '' The acquisition involves mainly regional newspapers. It is important that readers can choose, but regionally there is not much choice. That they fall into the hands of one player, gets not much. ''Or competition watchdog Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) or not going to intervene, Vedder late in the middle. "" Where does not matter for the acquisition readers, maybe it does have implications for advertisers. If they have to deal with price increases ACM can then intervene, '' says the economist.De Persgroep had in 2013 a share of 23.8 percent in the newspaper market. That share will grow by acquiring 47.7 percent.repelThe biggest player is still Telegraph Media Group with a share of 35.7 percent. According to figures from the Media Commission and the Institute for Media Auditing (HOI).A spokeswoman for the ACM announced that the acquisition as a standard anyway is also investigated. In 2009, the NMa took hold, the predecessor of the ACM, when De Persgroep PCM. Back then it was Belgian media group NRC Handelsblad and nrc.next shedding after the sale.
