Rolfe & Nolan bidding war looms as onExchange performs due diligence

Rolfe & Nolan rejected a £12.5 million bid for the company by onExchange last year. Last week the independent directors of Rolfe & Nolan recommended a £15.2 million tender by management-backed vehicle Maia Holdings and private equity outfit HgCapital Funds.

By mid-day Rolfe & Nolan shares had risen 5.5% to 105.5 pence, valuing the company at more than the 100 pence a share bid tabled by Maia Holdings.

OneExchange has yet to decide whether to re-enter the bidding and, in the absence of any formal offer, Rolfe & Nolan says that the independent directors continue to recommend that shareholders accept the offer from Maia Holdings Limited.
