William Hill and 888 Holdings End Acquisition Talks

Late last year William Hill expressed an interest in acquiring 888 Holdings.  They held various talks with the company and decided to offer them £2 per share plus an additional 3p dividend per share.

However, one of the co-founders of 888 Holdings believed this was not enough for the company and was pushing William Hill for £3 per share plus the additional 3p dividend per share.  Unfortunately, this led to talks between the two companies coming to an end.

888 have since issued a statement saying that their company is in excellent condition and that they are trading within their expectations.
