Semi-conductor group Alphawave is latest tech company to quit London listing as it agrees £1.8bn takeover
Semi-conductor group Alphawave IP is to become the latest major London listed company to leave the stock market after agreeing a £1.8 billion takeover from US chip giant Qualcomm. The Gresham Street headquartered company told shareholders this morning it had finally struck a deal with its suitor after an extension for the takeover deadline was extended for the fifth time last week. Anglo-Canadian Alphawave listed in London in May 2021 when it sold £856 million of shares in an IPO valuing it at £3.1 billion. It is the latest in a stream of tech companies to quit their London listings. Last week fintech Wise said it is switching its primary listing to America. The deal overshadowed the launch of London Tech Week which was attended by Keir Starmer and Nvidia boss Jensen Huang. Darius McDermott, managing director at investment research agency FundCalibre said:'It's a telling contrast: the Prime Minister courts Nvidia's Jensen Huang just as another UK tech success story, Alphawave, is set to be acquired by an American buyer. 'Our view is the government must prioritise policies that support domestic UK capital markets – not kill them. They are critical for a well-functioning economy and society. For too long, the government has neglected, overregulated and taxed them, driving liquidity and investment out of the UK.' Alphawave, which is advised by Goldman Sachs and BMO, originally confirmed it was in talks about a sale as long ago as 1 April. But it has repeatedly pushed back the so called 'put up or shut up' deadline. Under the terms of the now agreed acquisition Alphawave shareholders will receive $2.48 in cash for each share, equivalent to 183 p. It represents a 96% premium to the share price before the start of takeover speculation. Alphawave shareholders have an option to receive the cash in sterling or in new Qualcomm shares at a rate of 0.01662 Qualcomm shares for each Alphawave share held. There is also a further alternative of 0.00964 of a New Series A Qualcomm Exchangeable Security and 0.00698 of a New Series B Qualcomm Exchangeable Security for each Alphawave share. Tony Pialis, President and chief executive officer of Alphawave, said:"Qualcomm's acquisition of Alphawave represents a significant milestone for us and an opportunity for our business to join forces with a respected industry leader and drive value to our customers. 'By combining our resources and expertise, we will be well-positioned to expand our product offerings, reach a broader customer base, and enhance our technological capabilities. Together, we will unlock new opportunities for growth, drive innovation, and create a leading player in AI compute and connectivity solutions. For our shareholders, the Alphawave Board is pleased that Qualcomm's offer provides an opportunity to realise compelling value for their shares." Cristiano Amon, President and chief executive officer of Qualcomm, said:"Under Tony's leadership Alphawave has developed leading high-speed wired connectivity and compute technologies that are complementary to our power-efficient CPU and NPU cores. Qualcomm's advanced custom processors are a natural fit for data centre workloads. 'The combined teams share the goal of building advanced technology solutions and enabling next-level connected computing performance across a wide array of high growth areas, including data centre infrastructure."

EU could impose Russian oil price cap without US support, Kallas says
The European Union can impose an additional price cap on Russian oil without U.S. support, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said at the Brussels Forum on June 11. "If you think about the oil going through the channels, it's mostly Europe, it's via the Baltic Sea, it's via the Black Sea. So even if the Americans are not on board, we can still do it and have an impact," Kallas said. The EU's 17th package of sanctions against Russia came into effect on May 20. The bloc is already working on its next wave of sanctions. The 18th EU sanctions package will include additional restrictions on energy, banking, oil, and other areas, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on June 10. "What the intelligence tells is that, now the sanctions will (harder hit) the supply chains of Russia needed to really fund this war," Kallas said. "Of course, it is important the United States... is together with us, and we have been operating together for quite some time," she said. Kallas noted the Group of Seven (G7) oil price cap was previously agreed upon to be 5% below the market price. "It is important, of course, what we do together, but it is also equally important for us what we do alone, because we alone are also a player," Kallas said. Kallas noted the EU is still an ally to the U.S., but recognized the dynamic between the two powers is changing. "We still value the relationship... I think with the Americans we are not growing apart, but growing up in our relationships," Kallas said. The upcoming G7 summit will take place in Alberta, Canada. A wide range of topics, including Russia's war against Ukraine, are expected to be discussed at the annual event. President Volodymyr Zelensky previously confirmed he would be attending the G7 summit after receiving an invitation from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Ivanhoe restarts part of Congo copper mine; cuts output guidance
By Rishabh Jaiswal and Divya Rajagopal (Reuters) -Ivanhoe Mines said on Wednesday it had resumed underground mining in part of its Kakula copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo that had been closed due to seismic activity, but lowered output guidance for the year. Mining on the mine's western side resumed on June 7, while Ivanhoe will start pumping water out of the eastern side in August, aiming to finish by the year's fourth quarter. It will also look to open a new section for mining in the eastern part. The Kakula mine is part of the giant Kamoa-Kakula copper mining complex. The Canadian miner said it now expects 370,000 tons and 420,000 tons of copper output from the Kamoa-Kakula mining complex. It had withdrawn earlier guidance of 520,000 and 580,000 tonnes following seismic activity and floods in May. The company also withdrew its 2026 target of about 600,000 tonnes of copper production. "This is a significant setback for the plans at Kamoa-Kakula and leaves uncertainty about 2026 and beyond production and whether mining can resume in the previously developed area of Kakula East," analysts at RBC said in a note. The disruption is the latest in a series of supply-side setbacks that has tightened global copper supply, helping to drive margins for smelters into deeply negative territory. Co-owner Zijin Mining has not issued any statements on the mine's status since May, when it said the tremors had damaged mine roofs and could affect output. Ivanhoe subsequently disputed Zijin's statement, although it later withdrew guidance. Zijin did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment about Ivanhoe's latest statement.
