Intertek Group plc Rejects EQT’s £8.3bn Bid — Why Investors Are Watching May 14

Intertek share price leaves £300 million EQT deal gap after dividend payout

Intertek Group shares traded at 5,805 pence around midday on Wednesday. That put the stock 195 pence, or 3.36%, below EQT’s £60 cash offer. Across 153.9 million shares in issue, the gap is about £300 million — a market price for time and deal risk, not a discount to the often-quoted £61.077 package. The distinction matters on the dividend payment date. The 107.7-pence final dividend inside the £61.077 figure was paid on Wednesday. Intertek lists May 29 as the ex-dividend date, when new buyers stopped qualifying. A comparison with £61.077 would put the apparent gap at 302.7 pence, 55% above the actual cash spread.
