The offer, which will have an over-allotment facility of up to a further £10m, will be made through the issue of new Foresight Williams Technology shares. Foresight Group AUM surges 42% on the back of £3.3bn acquisition spree The news comes following another £20m offer (with £10m over-allotment) that was made on 5 January, which was similarly done through the issue of new FWT shares.
