Kuwait’s National Aviation Services has sweetened its takeover proposal for the British airport services company John Menzies, valuing it at about £559million.
The Edinburgh-based company, which previously rejected a lower proposal, said it has indicated to NAS that it would be willing to back the 608p per share offer, subject to certain other terms.
British subprime lender Morses Club’s CEO Paul Smith has left his role with immediate effect, and has been replaced by chief operating officer Gary Marshall.
Morses also told investors on Monday that it now expects adjusted pre-tax profit for fiscal year 2022 to be 20 to 30 per cent below current market expectations.
