LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Misys Plc (MSY.L, MUSJF.PK) noted the announcement made by CVC Capital Partners Ltd. and ValueAct Capital and confirmed that it is currently in talks with them regarding a possible offer for the company's entire outstanding share capital for cash.
Misys further stated that it continues to be in discussions with Vista Equity Partners and Temenos Group AG as set out in the announcements dated February 20, 2012 and February 7, 2012 respectively.
As a consequence of ValueAct Capital's involvement as a potential joint offeror with CVC, Misys said it has formed an independent committee of the board of directors, which excludes Jeff Ubben, to consider all of the proposals before it. Misys noted that in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, CVC must, by no later than 5.00pm on April 2, 2012, announce a firm intention to make an offer for the company in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not plan to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies.
