The UAE SCA ordered IPIC to raise its tender price to AED1.95 per share based on the average of the past six months' trading.
It also set the Offer Period from 20 July through 5 August with payment to all tendering shareholders no later than 10 August 2010.
I must confess that I hadn't expected the SCA to upset the original price. And for the small percentage I assigned to that event, certainly not as dramatic an increase in price as this. The SCA may show only one eye in its logo, but it apparently has keen sight and a strong will - even when faced with "important" parties on the other end. Hopefully, a trend that will continue.
