Liam Beere, joint head of M&A in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, is senior sponsor of the deal. Beere joined the bank in 1992, having qualified as an accountant at Price Waterhouse (as it was called then). He studied mathematics and economics at Warwick University.He advised Segro in its 2009 £110m takeover of Brixton, and hasworked with Capital Shopping Centres through its planned purchase of the Trafford Centre and defence against Simon Property’s £3bn takeover advances.

Brown spent almost four years at the now-defunct Landsbanki before joining Peel Hunt in 2009. Share INDUSTRIAL hire firm Ashtead joined TVH in its pursuit of rival Lavendon yesterday, with the pair launching a £185m bid to buy and break up the firm. Under the latest indicative offer, Ashtead would put up 47.5 per cent of the cash price to acquire Lavendon’s UK operations, with Belgium-based TVH taking the European and Middle Eastern parts of the business. Lavendon said yesterday the 115p per share plan “is opportunistic and significantly undervalues the company” and its board unanimously rejected the interest. TVH said it was interested in making a £170m offer in November, which Lavendon also rejected as undervaluing the firm. Lavendon shares jumped from 79p to 103p at the time and have continued to rise, suggesting investors expect a higher bid. However, shares in Lavendon closed 3.5 per cent down at 111.25p yesterday, giving it a market cap of £187.7m. Ashtead shares lost 2.2 per cent to close at 166.3p. The Takeover Panel gave TVH a deadline of 8 February to make a firm bid earlier this week. Philip Sparks at Evolution Securities said the approach “is set at a reasonable price and [we] see limited prospects for a rival bid”. “TVH’s decision to team up with Ashtead is a shrewd move – it reduces the chance of a counter-bid and sends a message that the bidders can maximise synergies,” he said in an investor note. Lavendon commanded market cap of almost £500m in 2008, but the slowdown in construction activity during the recession caused its share price to plummet. Ashtead joins bid for rival

G4S shares leap again as a higher bid arrives. What would I do now?
Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares Enter Your Email Address Image source: Getty Images. G4S shares leap again as a higher bid arrives. What would I do now? “This Stock Could Be Like Buying Amazon in 1997” It’s been a grim year for UK shareholders, with stock prices tumbling due to Covid-19. So far, the FTSE 100 has lost 1,135 points in 2020, down almost a sixth (15%). However, it’s been a bumper year for shareholders of unloved and undervalued FTSE 250 firm G4S (LSE: G4S). G4S shares have skyrocketed since September, after it received a hostile takeover bid.G4S shares ride 2020’s roller-coasterFor the first eight months of this year, G4S shares moved in line with the wider market. At the end of 2019, the G4S share price closed at 218p and then gently declined until mid-February. Then, as Covid-19 spread, the G4S share price joined the spring market meltdown. By 3 April, G4S stock had collapsed to close at 69.92p — a sickening fall of more than two-thirds (67.9%) in just three months.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Then, as market fears over the global economy eased, G4S shares bounced back. The share price zigzagged upwards over the next five months, closing at 145.9p on 11 September. At this point, the stock was down a third (33.1%) since 2019.14 September: a great day for G4S shareholdersOn Monday, 14 September, came delightful news for G4S’s long-suffering shareholders. GardaWorld – a Montreal-based security-services company backed by private-equity group BC Partners – made a hostile takeover approach for G4S. GardaWorld offered 190p a share in cash to buy G4S from its shareholders. G4S shares surged to close at 182.45p, up 36.55p — a leap of a quarter (25%) in a single day.The next day, I urged G4S shareholders not to rush into any decision. I argued, “this takeover bid is just the first play for G4S” and added, “I’d await a higher price before selling any shares”. This guidance proved sound when, on 3 November, another bidder joined the party. US rival Allied Universal Security Services made a higher bid of £3.3bn for G4S, or at least 210p a share. Again, I suggested that “I’d still sit tight and do nothing”. I added, “I expect a final bid for the shares to be at least 225p–230p, so I would hang on to them today”.What would I do now?Today came news of a higher, supposedly ‘final’, offer from GardaWorld valuing G4S at £3.7bn. That comes to 235p a share, 17p ahead of the 218p at which G4S stock ended 2019. This makes G4S one of an elite group of large companies whose share prices have actually gained during this terrible year.G4S shares now trade at 247p, 12p higher than GardaWorld’s offer. G4S shareholders have two weeks to accept this deal before it closes on Wednesday, 16 December. If Allied Universal wants to counter-bid, it must do so by 9 December. This suggests that time is getting tight for G4S shareholders to bag a better deal.In summary, if I were a G4S shareholder (I’m not), I’d likely sell at today’s price — at 12p above the deal on the table — and walk away. However, shareholders who can stomach the risk might hold tight to see if a higher bid emerges within a week. If it does, then they might pocket another, say, 10p to 20p. If no other offers emerge, then the most on offer is 235p from GardaWorld. At this late stage, it’s mostly a toss-up, so the choice is tricky. Either way, G4S shareholders have had a rewarding 2020, so they should rejoice and be happy!

An Italian capital appeal on an historic scale
Thousands of petitions for Mumia Abu-Jamal delivered to Philly DA
A community delegation delivered thousands of petitions to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on Jan. 7, asking him to not stand in the way of justice for Mumia Abu-Jamal and to not appeal a Dec. 27, 2018, court decision by Common Pleas Judge Leon Tucker.Wayne Alexander Cook, a nephew of Mumia Abu-Jamal, handed the 4,227 signed petitions to Krasner’s assistant as the delegation entered the lobby outside the DA’s office. The thick manila envelope also contained letters from Tadashi Seto, the International Labor Solidarity Committee of Doro-Chiba, the Japanese rail workers’ union; Edwin R Ferris, International Secretary-Treasurer of International Longshore & Warehouse Union; and other labor statements in support of Abu-Jamal’s quest for freedom after 37 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.Krasner refused to talk with the group that also included Michael Africa Jr., son of MOVE 9 members Debbie and Michael Africa Sr., released from prison in 2018; Sandy Joy, a Rowan University professor; and other members of the umbrella support group Mobilization4Mumia. The DA’s Director of Communications Ben Waxman did meet with the group, but revealed no new information when asked whether or not Krasner will appeal. “That’s above my paygrade,” he said.Left to right, Ben Waxman, Michael Africa Jr, Linda Ragin, Wayne Cook, Sandy Joy.The online petitions were gathered in 10 days from thousands of people in the U.S. and from around the world by Roots Action and Mobilization4Mumia.The petitions are part of an effort to persuade Philadelphia DA Krasner to not appeal Tucker’s ruling. Such an appeal would lead to years of court proceedings and further postpone Abu-Jamal’s chance to prove his innocence. Abu-Jamal has spent almost four decades in prison and suffers from serious liver disease and related ailments. Years of court delays will be nothing less than a death sentence for him, as well as denial of justice.On Jan. 5, almost 200 people marched in the rain with signs and banners in front of the DA’s office chanting, “Justice!” “Krasner: Don’t Appeal!” and “Free Mumia!”Mumia Abu-Jamal won the significant victory in Judge Leon Tucker’s decision granting Abu-Jamal new rights to re-open appeals. The ruling could impact other prisoners whose appeals have been similarly denied by biased judges.Tucker ruled that former PA Supreme Court Justice Ronald Castille denied Abu-Jamal fair and impartial hearings by not recusing himself from the defendant’s appeals between 1998 and 2012. The ruling referenced Castille’s public statements of being a “law and order” prosecutor, responsible for 45 men on death row; his siding with the Fraternal Order of Police; and new evidence supporting the claim that Castille singled out men convicted as “police killers.” Tucker cited all the above because they created the appearance of bias and impropriety in the appeal process.Krasner ran for Philadelphia District Attorney on a platform that included standing “for justice, not just for convictions.” He promoted reviewing past convictions and freeing the wrongfully convicted. In Philadelphia, Abu-Jamal’s frame-up stands out as the city’s most notorious wrongful conviction. Yet, after his election victory, Krasner appointed Ron Castille to his transition team.Abu-Jamal has always maintained his innocence in the fatal shooting of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Judge Tucker’s ruling means that Abu-Jamal’s appeals of his 1982 conviction are restored. Abu-Jamal has argued through his past appeals that he was framed by police and that the prosecution manufactured evidence of guilt and suppressed proof of his innocence, in addition to other violations of his due process rights.Long-time International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal organizer Pam Africa said, “After decades in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, the charges should be dismissed and he should be freed.” District Attorney Krasner has until Jan. 27 to decide whether to appeal or to let Mumia have a chance to prove his innocence.

Ten journalists held by Houthi rebels are on hunger strike
February 18, 2016 Find out more May 24, 2016 Ten journalists held by Houthi rebels are on hunger strike Help by sharing this information In a joint statement, the families of journalists held by Houthi rebels in the capital, Sanaa, reported that the journalists began a hunger strike on 9 May in protest against the conditions in which they are being held. The families also called for the release of the journalists, most of whom have been held for more than a year.According to RSF’s tally, a total of 14 journalists and citizen-journalists are currently being held by armed groups in Yemen.“We are very concerned about the detention of journalists in Yemen and we appeal to their abductors to release them unconditionally,” said Alexandra El Khazen, the head of RSF’s Middle East desk. “We remind all parties to the conflict that they are required by international law to protect media personnel, like other civilians.”In their joint statement, the families condemned the constant mistreatment of the journalists (including torture and denial of adequate medical care) and the recent bans on visits in Habra prison. The branch of the Yemeni Journalists’ Syndicate in the southern city of Aden said it supports the call for their release and blames the Houthis.The journalists on hunger strike are Toufic Al Mansouri, Hassan Enab, Akram Al Walidi, Issam Belghith, Hareth Hamid, Haytham Al Shehab, Hicham Al Youssefi, Hicham Tarmoum, Abdel Khalaq Amrane and Salah Al Qa’idi.According to the Yemeni media, the Yemeni government delegation yesterday called for their release (and the release of other detainees) at the peace talks that began under UN aegis in Kuwait on 21 April.Journalists are in permanent danger in Yemen as a result of the continuing political instability and security threats. Few professional journalists are still working in Sanaa, which the Houthi rebels have controlled since September 2014.The threats to reporters and media outlets come from all parties to the conflict. As well as coming under fire or being the victims or air strikes, they are also liable to be arrested arbitrarily or abducted, and their offices are often raided and attacked.In one recent case, the premises of the Al-Shumo Foundation and its affiliate newspaper, Akhbar Al-Youm, in Aden were attacked and looted by southern forces on 8 May. Their headquarters were already attacked by Houthi rebels in February 2015.Yemen is ranked 170th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2016 World Press FreedomIndex.

For U.S. Housing, When Will Familiar Trends Shift?

The one thing steady about the U.S. housing market post-Q1 is that it continues to be defined by a dynamic that almost sounds like it’s stuck on repeat: historically low inventory is driving fewer sales and rising prices in most markets.That’s been true for a full two years. According to the April 2018 RE/MAX National Housing Report, home prices continued to climb year-over-year for the 24th consecutive month in March. At the same time, home sales dropped for a fourth consecutive month.The number of homes for sale nationally was flat compared to in February, but down almost 15 percent from last March. Average inventory in March dropped below three months; all 54 metros surveyed had less than six months’ worth of inventory.However, RE/MAX CEO Adam Contos says homebuyers shouldn’t be discouraged by the record-breaking numbers.“Even with higher prices and closed transactions,” Contos said, “this March marks the second-highest in sales in the history of the RE/MAX National Housing Report.”Of the 54 metro areas surveyed in March 2018, the overall average number of home sales increased more than 36 percent over February, according to the report. That was about 5 percent lower than a year ago, overall. Milwaukee saw housing prices rise most—22 percent over last year.The national median price was up to $236,000 in March. That’s 3 percent higher than in February and 5 percent above last March. Twelve metros increased year-over-year by double-digit percentages—the largest being Boise and San Francisco, each of which increased by more than 19 percent.In short, it’s an especially good time to sell. According to the report, all 54 metro areas surveyed reported less than six months’ worth of inventory, meaning it’s a strong seller’s market everywhere.“We also look at the days on market as another indicator of tight inventory,” said Contos.. “The national average stands at 60 days—four less than a year ago, and another March record-breaker.”Cities with the lowest number of days on market were all in the West. San Francisco homes spent 20 on market. Seattle, Denver, and San Diego homes also spent less than a month on the market. By contrast, homes in Augusta, Maine, spent 131 days on the market.
