Intertek (ISIN GB0031638363) secured EUR 1.57 billion of long-term financing for its proposed takeover on October 9, 2026, according to TradingView. The package also included EUR 435.00 million of senior secured notes and USD 2.72 billion of US dollar loans.

Three takeover milestones

On June 18, 2026, Intertek and Isotope Bidco agreed the terms of a recommended final cash acquisition, with the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital covered by the proposal, according to TradingView. On July 15, 2026, shareholders received the scheme document, and on October 9, 2026, Bidco announced the new financing arrangements.

What does financing change?

The October 9 announcement says the financial terms of the acquisition are final and will not be increased, subject to specific takeover-code exceptions, according to TradingView. For Intertek stock, the financing removes one transaction condition while leaving the scheme process and its approval requirements in place.

The next disclosed timing window is the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027 for the scheme to become effective, according to Simply Wall St. That timing keeps completion, listing cancellation and the final trading date as the key next milestones.

Financial base before completion

Intertek reported fiscal year 2025 revenue of GBP 3.43 billion, up 1.10 percent from fiscal year 2024, while net income was GBP 343.50 million and broadly flat year over year, according to Simply Wall St. Earnings per share was GBP 2.18 for the same period, giving the transaction an operating-business backdrop beyond the financing mechanics.

Stock remains tied to the scheme
