Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Talks are on for a possible take-over bid for the Lancashire-based Wilkinsons Transport Group. After a flurry of stock market speculation Lex Service, the hotelsto-garages firm, disclosed to CM this week that it was having preliminary discussions which could lead to an offer. Lex said it already held just over 16 per cent of Wilkinsons share capital. Wilkinsons shares had registered a 17÷p gain last week, to stand at 3624-p. At this level the Lex bid would put a price on the whole of the Wilkinson Group of around £4,500,000.
