Q3 202615 Jul – 13 Aug 2026

▲1

Shareholders approve H.B. Fuller takeover AMS shareholders voted in favour of H.B. Fuller's recommended cash buyout at meetings on 12 August. That clears a major hurdle, making the deal more likely to complete by year-end and anchoring the share price near the offered terms.
This is the single biggest new event and the main force now setting AMS's price.
Octopus keeps trimming its stake Octopus Investments disclosed its holding fell from 8.66% to 8.28% to 8.07% across July, selling shares each time. The stake is large, but the steady selling suggests it is reducing exposure rather than betting on a higher price.
Shows a major holder's behaviour, a real counterweight to deal optimism.
Broker Investec's routine share dealings Investec, AMS's joint broker, repeatedly bought and sold AMS shares in near-equal amounts around 280p. This is normal market-making tied to its advisory role, not a signal about AMS's health, so it adds little to the bigger picture.
Explains the other recurring disclosure and why it is not a real driver.
