Possible Offer and Restoration of Trading

Anglo Asian Mining Plc

**Summary**
Anglo Asian Mining PLC, an AIM-listed gold, copper, and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announced on November 27, 2025, that trading in its shares has been restored following a suspension on November 26. The suspension was triggered by speculative comments and share price movements, prompting the company to investigate and ensure compliance with AIM Rule 10.
The suspension followed an announcement by ACG Metals Limited (LSE:ACG) on November 26, indicating it is in the early stages of considering a possible offer for Anglo Asians entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. However, ACGs statement does not constitute a firm intention to make an offer under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), and there is no certainty that an offer will materialize or what its terms might be.
Anglo Asian emphasized its strong operational progress, highlighting the successful on-time and on-budget production launches of its Gilar and Demirli mines in 2025. The company remains focused on its growth strategy to transition into a mid-tier, multi-asset, low-cost copper-focused producer, with plans to bring additional assets (Xarxar and Garadag) into production sustainably.
Under the Code, ACG has until December 24, 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm it does not intend to proceed. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. The company also outlined disclosure requirements under the Code for interested parties holding 1% or more of relevant securities.
Anglo Asians strategic plan aims to achieve annual copper production of 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes by 2030, with copper becoming its principal product. The announcement concluded with contact details for key executives and advisors, as well as regulatory and legal disclaimers regarding the distribution of the information.

Anglo Asian Mining Plc

**Summary**
Anglo Asian Mining PLC, an AIM-listed gold, copper, and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announced on November 27, 2025, that trading in its shares has been restored following a suspension on November 26. The suspension was triggered by speculative comments and share price movements, prompting the company to investigate and ensure compliance with AIM Rule 10.
The suspension followed an announcement by ACG Metals Limited (LSE:ACG) on November 26, indicating it is in the early stages of considering a possible offer for Anglo Asians entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. However, ACGs statement does not constitute a firm intention to make an offer under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), and there is no certainty that an offer will materialize or what its terms might be.
Anglo Asian emphasized its strong operational progress, highlighting the successful on-time and on-budget production launches of its Gilar and Demirli mines in 2025. The company remains focused on its growth strategy to transition into a mid-tier, multi-asset, low-cost copper-focused producer, with plans to bring additional assets (Xarxar and Garadag) into production sustainably.
Under the Code, ACG has until December 24, 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm it does not intend to proceed. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. The company also outlined disclosure requirements under the Code for interested parties holding 1% or more of relevant securities.
Anglo Asians strategic plan aims to achieve annual copper production of 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes by 2030, with copper becoming its principal product. The announcement concluded with contact details for key executives and advisors, as well as regulatory and legal disclaimers regarding the distribution of the information.

Anglo Asian Mining Plc
Positive
**Summary:** Anglo Asian Mining PLC, an AIM-listed gold, copper, and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announced on November 27, 2025, that trading in its shares has been restored following a suspension on November 26. The suspension was triggered by speculative comments and share price movements, prompting the company to investigate and ensure compliance with AIM Rule 10. The suspension followed an announcement by ACG Metals Limited (LSE:ACG) on November 26, indicating it is in the early stages of considering a possible offer for Anglo Asians entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. However, ACGs statement does not constitute a firm intention to make an offer under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), and there is no certainty that an offer will materialize or what its terms might be. Anglo Asian emphasized its strong operational progress, highlighting the successful on-time and on-budget production launches of its Gilar and Demirli mines in 2025. The company remains focused on its growth strategy to transition into a mid-tier, multi-asset, low-cost copper-focused producer, with plans to bring additional assets (Xarxar and Garadag) into production sustainably. Under the Code, ACG has until December 24, 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm it does not intend to proceed. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. The company also outlined disclosure requirements under the Code for interested parties holding 1% or more of relevant securities. Anglo Asians strategic plan aims to achieve annual copper production of 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes by 2030, with copper becoming its principal product. The announcement concluded with contact details for key executives and advisors, as well as regulatory and legal disclaimers regarding the distribution of the information.

HSBC Holdings PLC announced on November 27, 2025, that relevant consents have been granted by the Executive under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code in connection with the proposed privatization of Hang Seng Bank Limited by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC Asia Pacific).

Key activities include

2. **Agency Lending Programme**HSBC can fulfill indemnities under its securities lending program, including acquiring and redelivering Hang Seng Bank securities, without impacting the minimum consideration level for the privatization proposal.
3. **Market Making Activities**HSBC can act as a market maker or participating dealer for ETFs containing Hang Seng Bank shares, conducting creation, redemption, and inventory management activities.
4. **Passive Index-Tracking Funds**HSBC can manage passive index-tracking funds holding Hang Seng Bank shares and conduct related dealings.
5. **Trustee and Fiduciary Services**HSBC can sell Hang Seng Bank shares as part of estate administration, provided the deceased or beneficiaries are not affiliated with HSBC Asia Pacific or its concert parties.
The Executive confirmed that these activities will not affect the minimum consideration level for the privatization proposal. HSBC will inform the Executive of any material changes and may seek additional consents for other ordinary course dealings. The announcement was made in compliance with regulatory requirements and is part of the ongoing privatization process.

**Summary**
Empiric Student Property PLC and The Unite Group PLC have announced the Competition and Markets Authoritys (CMA) unconditional approval of their recommended cash and share acquisition. The acquisition, valued at 30.725 pence per Empiric share, is set to be implemented through a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act 2006. The CMAs Phase 1 investigation concluded that the acquisition would not raise competition concerns.
Key details include
**Acquisition Terms**Unite will acquire Empirics entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. The cash consideration was adjusted from 32 pence to 30.725 pence per share due to dividend payments.
**Dividends**Empiric will not declare a fourth quarterly dividend for FY 2025, but shareholders retaining new Unite shares will receive Unites final dividend, expected to be approximately two-thirds of Unites total dividend for FY 2025.
**Timetable**The Court Sanction Hearing is scheduled for January 26, 2026, with the scheme expected to become effective on January 28, 2026. New Unite shares will be issued to Empiric shareholders by January 29, 2026.
**Shareholder Approval**The requisite majority of Empiric shareholders approved the scheme at the Court Meeting and General Meeting on October 6, 2025.
**Regulatory Compliance**The acquisition complies with the Takeover Code, Market Abuse Regulation, and other relevant UK regulations. Detailed information for overseas and US investors is provided, including tax and legal considerations.
The announcement emphasizes that the acquisition is subject to remaining conditions, including Court sanction, and provides contact details for inquiries and further information. Shareholders are advised to seek independent financial advice and refer to the Scheme Document for full details.

**Summary**
EnQuest PLC has been awarded the Excellence in Decommissioning award by Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) for its outstanding work on the Heather Decommissioning Project in the North Sea.

**Summary**
Liontrust Asset Management Plc announced the launch of a share buyback programme on November 27, 2025, aiming to repurchase up to £10 million worth of its ordinary shares by June 30, 2026.

**Summary**
Anglo Asian Mining PLC, an AIM-listed gold, copper, and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announced on November 27, 2025, that trading in its shares has been restored following a suspension on November 26. The suspension was triggered by speculative comments and share price movements, prompting the company to investigate and ensure compliance with AIM Rule 10.
The suspension followed an announcement by ACG Metals Limited (LSE:ACG) on November 26, indicating it is in the early stages of considering a possible offer for Anglo Asians entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. However, ACGs statement does not constitute a firm intention to make an offer under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), and there is no certainty that an offer will materialize or what its terms might be.
Anglo Asian emphasized its strong operational progress, highlighting the successful on-time and on-budget production launches of its Gilar and Demirli mines in 2025. The company remains focused on its growth strategy to transition into a mid-tier, multi-asset, low-cost copper-focused producer, with plans to bring additional assets (Xarxar and Garadag) into production sustainably.
Under the Code, ACG has until December 24, 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm it does not intend to proceed. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. The company also outlined disclosure requirements under the Code for interested parties holding 1% or more of relevant securities.
Anglo Asians strategic plan aims to achieve annual copper production of 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes by 2030, with copper becoming its principal product. The announcement concluded with contact details for key executives and advisors, as well as regulatory and legal disclaimers regarding the distribution of the information.

Possible Offer and Restoration of Trading

Anglo Asian Mining Plc

**Summary**
Anglo Asian Mining PLC, an AIM-listed gold, copper, and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announced on November 27, 2025, that trading in its shares has been restored following a suspension on November 26. The suspension was triggered by speculative comments and share price movements, prompting the company to investigate and ensure compliance with AIM Rule 10.
The suspension followed an announcement by ACG Metals Limited (LSE:ACG) on November 26, indicating it is in the early stages of considering a possible offer for Anglo Asians entire issued and to-be-issued ordinary share capital. However, ACGs statement does not constitute a firm intention to make an offer under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), and there is no certainty that an offer will materialize or what its terms might be.
Anglo Asian emphasized its strong operational progress, highlighting the successful on-time and on-budget production launches of its Gilar and Demirli mines in 2025. The company remains focused on its growth strategy to transition into a mid-tier, multi-asset, low-cost copper-focused producer, with plans to bring additional assets (Xarxar and Garadag) into production sustainably.
Under the Code, ACG has until December 24, 2025, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or confirm it does not intend to proceed. Shareholders are advised to take no action at this time. The company also outlined disclosure requirements under the Code for interested parties holding 1% or more of relevant securities.
Anglo Asians strategic plan aims to achieve annual copper production of 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes by 2030, with copper becoming its principal product. The announcement concluded with contact details for key executives and advisors, as well as regulatory and legal disclaimers regarding the distribution of the information.
