Capricorn's board supports the merger, but the group also said last week it was exploring alternative deals after unnamed parties expressed interest. Capricorn shareholders Madison Avenue, Legal & General IM and Schroders, as well as some other investors, have come out against the merger plan. The deal requires approval from at least 75 per cent of Capricorn shareholders, a threshold that might be in jeopardy if hedge fund investors who have been critical of the deal turn their derivative investments into direct shareholdings.
