The UK takeover radar

A daily update from our monitoring model on the UK-listed companies it thinks are most likely to face a bid, ranked on the public signals that showed before past takeover approaches. The radar comprises:

• The top line: what changed overnight and what is worth watching
• Potential targets in three lists: Early signs, Vulnerable and In play. Each name carries its five signals, a score out of 100 and the situation
• Bids: every company with a firm offer or a possible offer that states a price, with the terms, the premium, where the shares trade against the offer, the napkin test and the shareholder commitments
• New Bidcos: newly registered bid companies and who may stand behind them
• The diary: Rule 2.6 deadlines in the next fortnight, bidders free to return and every company already in an offer period
