What to do if a takeover is imminent?

For the first time, I have a situation where a company in my portfolio is likely to be acquired. In this specific case it is about $ECV (-0.06%)

As a result of the takeover rumors, the share price has risen by over 40% in recent weeks. The new owner probably wants to delist the company from the stock exchange. Just wait and see or sell to be on the safe side?

Whether there will be any better offers is questionable. I think I would sell now.

would always sell if an offer is attractive enough. 1 you are then rid of the risk of the deal falling through & 2 you can move on immediately with the money. If the deal goes through, you have only wasted time in the end and get the same thing. Of course it is different if the deal is not good enough for you

Opportunity: You can still get a larger sum from the buyer. This would offer potential for even more upside.

Risk: If the deal does not materialize or a lower sales price is achieved, the share price will certainly fall by a similar amount again.
