London midday: Boots auction gets market racing
LONDON (SHARECAST) - Footsie has powered forward as the battle for Alliance Boots has turned into a full-scale auction for the chemist chain between KKR and Stefano Pessina and private equity group Terra Firma. Earlier today Alliance Boots agreed a 10.6bn takeover offer from the pairing of private equity firm KKR and its own deputy chairman Stefano Pessina. The new offer is worth 10.90, but this has now been topped by Terra Firma, which has upped its offer from 1,085p to 1,126p cash. Housebuilder Taylor Woodrow is another good riser on a report that Persimmon is about to muscle into TayWood's merger plan with Wimpey. Barclays is going well. A report today suggested HSBC is interested in buying ABN Amro's Brazilian operation, which might improve Barclays' chances of success with its offer for the Dutch bank.
