easyJet Apollo jumped 14% on Friday morning after Apollo put forward a possible £5.7bn all-cash bid and the board said it was minded to recommend it. That puts the airline’s shareholders, including Stelios Haji-Ioannou and his family, in the middle of a bid fight that could leave them invested under new ownership rather than forced out when easyJet delists. The proposed price is £7.15 a share, and Apollo said current shareholders could remain invested in the company after completion.
