Vesuvius (ISIN GB00B82YXW83) was valued at GBp 551.00 per share in RHI Magnesita's latest proposal, received on August 27, 2026, according to Investegate. The terms combine GBp 470.00 in cash with 0.28 new RHI Magnesita shares for every 10 Vesuvius shares, while the board continues to evaluate financial terms and execution risk.

Three proposals set the timeline

On March 17, 2026, RHI Magnesita proposed an all-cash offer worth GBp 550.00 per Vesuvius share, according to Investegate. On June 23, 2026, a revised proposal again carried a headline value of GBp 550.00, split between GBp 454.00 in cash and GBp 96.00 in new RHI Magnesita shares.

Vesuvius rejected that June proposal on June 29, 2026. The September 29, 2026 announcement therefore marked a higher headline value of GBp 551.00, but it remained a non-binding proposal rather than a firm offer.

What does the October deadline mean

Under the UK Takeover Code, RHI Magnesita must announce a firm intention to make an offer or state that it will not proceed by 5:00 p.m. London time on October 27, 2026, according to Investegate. The deadline can be extended with the consent of the Takeover Panel, leaving execution and deal certainty as the central variables for the valuation.

Next dates and stock context

Investing.com lists March 3, 2027 as Vesuvius's next earnings date and identifies the company as VSVS on the London Stock Exchange, according to Investing.com. The earnings date follows the October 27 takeover deadline, so the offer timetable currently comes before the next scheduled results milestone.
