SThree

The board of SThree has unanimously rejected a preliminary, conditional cash offer from the Circle8 Group, saying it materially undervalues the company and is not in the best interests of shareholders. Under the City Code, Circle8 must by 7 October 2026 either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm that no offer will be made. SThree stresses its confidence in the company's long-term growth prospects, plans a trading update for the third quarter on 22 September 2026, and advises shareholders to take no action for now. » Więcej na de.investing.com
