Unbound Group [LON:UBG] is the top performer for Tuesday, advancing 112% by the bell. This morning the company advised the market of a possible takeover bid, with the cash plus right deal valuing the shares at a 162% premium to Monday’s closing price. The board notes they would be minded to recommend such an offer to shareholders.
Verditek LON:VDTK added 49% on the day, following news that it had received an order worth EUR167,500. That’s qute a reaction given the modest size of the deal, but this marks the production order of the solar roofing tiles.
Vast Resources LON:VAST advanced 25% to get the notable mention. There’s no formal news out and gains were focused on the latter part of the session. Investors will be looking to see if a retest of the early February highs can be posted tomorrow.
Argos Resources LON:ARG was the biggest faller, off 23%. However with minimal trades going through and an exaggerated spread, there’s nothing to note here on the £3m company.
