Post subject: | Northern foods merger. What happens now? |
Hi all, I have a question. If you've read the news this morning you may be aware that Northern foods is merging with Greencore to become a new company called Essenta Foods. I am currently long northern foods, and the price has shot up over 10 points so far today. The question I have is what happens now? Will my spread bet automatically trade out when the new company is formed? Will I be traded into the new company? I have no idea what my spread betting firm (CMC markets) do in this situation. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? If so what happened. Thanks in advance. |

Since the numbers are still pretty low here on the forum I've decided to ask the same question over on the spread betting cenral forum. If I get an answer I'll post areply here in my own words. Or you can just view the forum topic over on spread betting central |

Just though I'd let you all know that I still haven't had a reply from CMC markets yet. I have to say it's not a good reflection on their customer service. I've sent three e-mails so far asking for a response and I have yet to receive any aknowledgement from them that they've even recieved my e-mails. When I finally get a response I'll let you know what the outcome is. All the best with your spread betting. |

Finally I had an answer from CMC regarding this question. Answer: "The position will be closed out on the day the merger takes place. If I want to open a position in the newly merged company I will have to do this manually." |
