MaxVne, not quite right mate. CHC is bidding for Helikopter Service which owns Bond and Lloyd outright. CHC cannot just bid or buy Lloyd unless HS agree to sell it to them. The whole picture is complicated but goes like this:
CHC own BIH in UK through Craig Dobbin's Irish (therefore EC) citizenship. BIH (being European)owns part of a Norwiegen company called Vindair. Vindair (being Norweigan)are buying HS stocks on the Stock Exchange. Mind you, if I were an HS shareholder, I'd be happy at how my share price was going up. I think I'd sell now in case CHC decide to suddenly dump all of their new shares in one go and take a quick profit!
