In a move that seems to indicate takeover talks are making progress, Alterian has postponed the announcement of its half year results due today.
The Bristol-based marketing software company, which is considering an improved indicative £68.4m takeover offer from Maidenhead-based SDL, says in a Stock Exchange announcement that the "board of Alterian has been actively engaged in preparing for, and progressing discussions. With this in mind it is no longer the board's intention to announce the company's half year results on 16 November. The results will be announced by the end of November 2011."
