it is my opinion that they cannot be buying William hill, or merging with them. there is a rule for all publicly traded u.k. companies that they must disclose to the public whenever they are negotiating any form of buyout, takeover, or merger. this was done in all of the other m&a cases of u.k. gambling firms and would have to be done with wh as well. that's why it was disclosed 18 months ago when they were trying to do a merger of equals. that's also why its now disclosed that wh Australia is trying to reassess and probably sell their operations there. because there has been no announcement by wh that they are negotiating a sale or merger of their u.k. operations it is my belief that stars cannot be in negotiations with them. my opinion.
