SCi has received three bids, says report

Ubisoft, Warner Bros and unnamed Chinese company fingered by national newspaper

Eidos parent the SCi Group has received two further bids after disclosing that it had received a ‘possible offer’ at the beginning of September.

According to The Times, the original “extremely preliminary” bid came from Ubisoft, but that has been followed by solid interest from Time Warner – which already owns a ten per cent stake in SCi – and an unnamed Chinese company.

SCi shares rose by five per cent on Friday amid City speculation about further bids, which took the company’s stock to 3493⁄4p and valued the firm at about £300 million.
