NCB takeover bid pushes Guardian to $18

December 8, 2017 by IC Insider.com

Guardian Holdings closed at a 52 weeks’ high of $18 on TTSE after NCB disclosed bid for 32% more shares..

Guardian Holdings’ share jumped $1.45 to $18, trading 69,236 shares on the Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange, in response of a bid to acquire 74 million shares by NCB Financial Group at US$2.35 each.
Guardian was closing at the highest price in 52 weeks which is the equivalent of US$2.66 compared to US$2.35 that is offered by NCB. With a 29.99 percent equity interest acquired in 2016, the NCB Financial Group will most likely command a 62 percent stake in Guardian Holdings when the offer closes as data suggest that the deal is sown up long ago with Arthur Lock Jack almost sure to surrender the shares owned directly or indirectly by him along with a few others.
