Gamma Communications ( (GB:GAMA) ) has provided an update.

Gamma Communications has confirmed that private equity firm Epiris and a consortium comprising Oakley Capital and Giacom are among the parties in preliminary talks with the company following earlier takeover speculation. While discussions are ongoing, there is no certainty that any offer will be made or on what terms, and under UK takeover rules Epiris and the consortium have until 12 June 2026 to announce a firm intention to bid or walk away, a timetable that will focus investor attention on Gamma’s strategic options and potential change of ownership.

The company has appointed Barclays as lead financial adviser alongside Q Advisors, Investec and Peel Hunt, underlining the seriousness of the strategic review as stakeholders await clarity on whether Gamma will remain independent or move into private ownership.
