In a statement to the London stock exchange today (25 September), Inter Link said that any offer was “likely to be substantially in excess of the closing mid-market price on Friday”. The company’s close valuation on Friday was GBP47m (US$89.42m).
Weekend reports in the UK press have suggested that an offer could be in the region of GBP66m.
By mid-morning Inter Link shares were trading at 485 pence per share, having risen by 18.29% from Friday’s close.
However, the company warned: “Talks are at a very early stage and there can be no certainty that a formal offer will be made.”
