Tele Atlas (Amsterdam : TA) NL0000233948 (Securibourse)
Voici une action qui n'est pas épargnée par la purge. Elle cote 26.45 eur ce soir.
Or, il y a une OPA en cours, dont l'initiateur est TomTom, et qui en offre...30 eur en cash ! cfr article ci-dessous.
Je pense qu'il s'agit donc d'une opportunité de placement sans gros risque. Surtout en ces temps maussades.

AMSTERDAM -(Dow Jones)- Shareholders of Dutch personal navigation device maker TomTom NV (38705.AE) Tuesday voted in favor of a proposed takeover offer for Dutch digital mapmaker Tele Atlas NV (23394.AE).
TomTom on Nov. 18 made an all-cash offer for Tele Atlas at EUR30 per share, valuing the company at about EUR2.9 billion in total. By doing so it topped an earlier proposed offer of EUR24.50 per share from U.S. rival Garmin (GRMN).
It earlier in November said that it had acquired about 29.9% of Tele Atlas shares from institutional investors.
The acquisition of the remaining 70.1% of Tele Atlas´ shares, representing about EUR2.1 billion, is expected to be financed by the equity offering, plus EUR1.85 billion in senior committed financing provided by ABN Amro Holding N.V. (ABN), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS) and Rabobank, TomTom said Monday.
TomTom´s share took a knock earlier Tuesday after the company announced late on Monday that it planned to place new shares of up to EUR500 million to help fund its bid for Tele Atlas. It said Tuesday that it raised EUR457 million by placing 8,156,250 new ordinary shares at a price of EUR56 per share.
TomTom said that it also plans to use the proceeds to reduce its financial leverage.
At 1251 GMT Tuesday TomTom shares traded down 8.8% at EUR57.16 in a lower broader market, while shares in Tele Atlas were up 0.4% at EUR28.01.
