A ("Poltronesofà"), and ScS Group Plc ("ScS") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by BidCo to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of ScS (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is being implemented by means of a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). The listing of ScS Shares on the premium segment of the Official List and the admission to trading of ScS Shares on the Main Market were suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. (London time) January 30, 2024. The listing of ScS Shares on the premium segment of the Official List and the admission to trading of ScS Shares on the Main Market are, in each case, expected to be cancelled with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 31 January 2024.New Risk • Jan 30New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (113% payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.9% increase in shares outstanding).Upcoming Dividend • Nov 10Upcoming dividend of UK£0.10 per share at 5.4% yieldEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 16 November 2023. Payment date: 15 December 2023. The company is paying out more than 100% of its profits but is generating plenty of cash to support the dividend. Trailing yield: 5.4%. Lower than top quartile of British dividend payers (6.4%). Higher than average of industry peers (3.4%).New Risk • Oct 26New minor risk - Profit margin trendThe company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 1.4% Last year net profit margin: 4.1% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin).お知らせ • Oct 26Poltronesofà S.p.A. reached an agreement to acquire ScS Group plc (LSE:SCS) for £95 million.Poltronesofà S.p.A. reached an agreement to acquire ScS Group plc (LSE:SCS) for £95 million on October 24, 2023.

As a part of acquisition, Poltronesofà does not intend that there will be any material headcount reductions as a result of the Acquisition. Poltronesofà intends to finance the cash consideration payable to ScS Shareholders pursuant to the Acquisition from existing cash on Poltronesofà's balance sheet. Post completion of the acquisition, it is expected that, on the Effective Date, each non-executive ScS Director will resign with immediate effect. Poltronesofà does not intend to make material changes to places of business, or headquarters of ScS or to redeploy the fixed assets of ScS. The Acquisition is conditional on, among other things: (i) approval by a majority in number of the ScS Shareholders who are present and vote, either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting (and at any separate class meeting which may be required by the Court) and who represent not less than 75 per cent. in value of the ScS Shares (or the relevant class or classes thereof) voted by those ScS Shareholders; (ii) the sanction of the Scheme by the Court; and (iii) satisfaction (or, where applicable, waiver) of the Conditions including the receipt of relevant regulatory approval from the FCA in respect of the Acquisition and approval of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, of the resolutions required to approve and implement the Scheme at the ScS General Meeting.

It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 24% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 16% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.最新情報をもっと見るRecent updatesお知らせ • Jan 30+ 1 more updateScS Group plc Shares Listing Expected to Be Cancelled Effective Jan. 31On 24 October 2023, the boards of Cerezzola Limited ("BidCo"), a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of Poltronesofà S.p.

A ("Poltronesofà"), and ScS Group Plc ("ScS") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by BidCo to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of ScS (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is being implemented by means of a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). The listing of ScS Shares on the premium segment of the Official List and the admission to trading of ScS Shares on the Main Market were suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. (London time) January 30, 2024. The listing of ScS Shares on the premium segment of the Official List and the admission to trading of ScS Shares on the Main Market are, in each case, expected to be cancelled with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 31 January 2024.
New Risk • Jan 30New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (113% payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.9% increase in shares outstanding).

Higher than average of industry peers (3.4%).
New Risk • Oct 26New minor risk - Profit margin trendThe company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 1.4% Last year net profit margin: 4.1% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin).

New Risk • Oct 25New major risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 24% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 16% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.
