Re: The big event this week I'm not sure the legal system spares anyone's blushes, plus there's the stock exchange rules around mandatory disclosure of info. I also reckon that both sides will seek to dress this up as some form of victory!Good news is imminent me thinks!

Re: Molson Coors to buy SAB stake I agree 3D although I can't believe these haven't shot past 42 yet. Oh well, expecting a rise any day now ... when some real juicy news comes forth.From the Telegraph - On Thursday, the brewers are also expected to outline the progress they have made since last week, when they said that AB InBev, the Belgian-Brazilian owner of Stella Artois and Budweiser, had undertaken due diligence and had secured the debt financing it needs for the deal. Molson Coors to report Q3 update Thursday at 2pm GMT. Then SAB's own half year results Thursday after that which they have already hinted should be good. Christmas is indeed coming early.

Court Restrains Afren from Dissipation of Its Assets Court Restrains Afren from Dissipation of Its Assets[link] [link] Lagos High Court sitting in Lagos has restrained an English public company operating in the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector, Afren Plc, from dealing with any of its assets in Nigeria or taking any further steps to register or seek the consent of any government authority in respect of any disposition, transfer or dissipation of the said assets pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit filed by Earl-Act, a Nigerian investor.Justice Obafemi Adamson in granting the interlocutory order of mareva injunction, also restrained the company’s administrators (Messrs Alix Partners) and the Blackstone Group from the same steps.The court also ordered the claimant to file a written undertaking within seven days of granting the restraining order, to compensate the defendant in damages if it is found that the restraining order ought not to have been granted or that same was obtained by fraud or misrepresented.Justice Adamson however adjourned the matter to November 26, 2015, for continuation of proceedings.In July this year, Afren Plc had announced the suspension of its shares in the London Stock Exchange due to what its management described as “material uncertainty” over its financial position.The London-based oil firm, with its entire production revenue emanating from Nigeria, further refused to disclose its financial information to the public, on grounds of “significant uncertainty.”This culminated in, a period described by its board and management as torrid plagued by unauthorised payments by directors, the crude oil price crash and a lack of liquidity.

Re: The big event this week Some more info here:[link] is clearly a very high profile event with both the President and Prime Minister in attendance and 40 documents due to be signed. It would be extremely embarrassing for them to have the outcome of the arbitration reported at this time or indeed in the near future, yet Mr Shead has informed us that he expects to report a favourable outcome in the 'very near future', so one has to think that a deal has been done, with the assets due to be passed on to another party.From other information researched it appears that there will be a full media briefing just after the forum closes on Friday, so we might have an 'interesting' weekend to look forward to.GLA,T

Direct Line reports increased premiums The insurance company reported a 1.3% increase in gross written premiums for its ongoing operations over the first nine months of its financial year. Motor gross written premium increased by 4.1% compared to the same nine month period of 2014. Own brands performed well with strong retention overall and increased sales, particularly on price comparison websites from its Churchill brand. The share price rose marginally in early UK stock market trading.For the Home insurance business, gross written premiums proved to be 4% lower than for the first nine months of 2014, primarily due to partnerships which were 5.2% lower, while own brands experienced a smaller reduction of 2.7%. The insurer highlighted that Home's strong brands maintained their competitiveness in a deflationary market supported by previous investments in pricing and claims management initiatives.Total in-force group wide policies for ongoing operations during the period reduced by 1.1% to 16.1 million. A reduction in in-force policies for other personal lines of 3.5% since the start of the year primarily reflected lower packaged bank account volumes. More favourably, total group costs for ongoing operations were cut by 7%.Chief Executive Comment:"Our strategy is progressing well and we continue to see the benefits of our programmes to improve customer experience and differentiate our brands, with a strong performance in Motor helping us deliver overall growth in our gross written premium. At the same time, we have also realised further efficiencies throughout the business, with costs reducing."Outlook:Management noted that "The Group's markets remained highly competitive in the first nine months of 2015. The motor market overall has seen price rises, but this should be viewed in the context of rising claims costs. Deflation in the home market has continued, while competition was stronger in the rescue market in the third quarter."The Group reiterates its expectation to achieve a combined operating ratio for 2015 in the range of 92% to 94% for ongoing operations - the combined operating ratio expresses costs and claims expenses as a proportion of premium income, and is a key measure of underwriting profitability. A reading below 100 equates to a profit.All yield figures are variable and not guaranteed.[link]

Molson Coors to buy SAB stake that's another £10B in the kitty I expect another extension to wrap up the Molson deal to keep the yanks sweet, I wouldn't be surprised if SAB are not trading above £44 by the time the deal is finally signed off![link] (inching ever closer to his chrimbo holiday money)
