Dignity PLC’s suitors will move to cancel the funeral services provider’s London listing as a takeover bid is now unconditional.

Valderrama Ltd, jointly-owned by SPWOne V Ltd, Castelnau Group Ltd and Phoenix Asset Management Partners Ltd, has acquired or agreed to acquire 75% worth of shares in Dignity.

Dignity in January agreed to a takeover which values the company at £281 million, with an implied enterprise value of around £789 million.

Dignity shares are expected to be cancelled from trading on May 25.

Shares in the company closed 0.1% lower at 549.61 pence each in London on Monday, giving it a market capitalisation of £275.5 million.
