Shares in FTSE 250 firm Gamma Communications rose 7% today after the deadline for a potential takeover was extended.

Gamma, whose core markets are the UK and Germany – with additional presence in Spain and the Benelux region – completed a restructuring last year to slash annual operating expenses by £7 million. 

Its valuation suffered, making it a target for acquisition. However the deadline for Epiris to make a bid, set for mid-June, was extended to today (8th July) – and has now been extended again to 5pm on 5th August 2026.

Two other PE houses have pulled out of a deal.
