Cloud-based IT services company Empired (ASX:EPD) was the morning’s big mover on takeover news, after entering into a Scheme of Arrangement with the Australian division of French multinational Capgemini.

The Scheme is for Capgemini to acquire 100% of the company for a cash price of $1.35 per share.

That marked a 60% premium to EPD’s closing price on Friday of 82c. Empired’s board has unanimously recommended that EPD shareholders approve the deal.

Gold explorer Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) was also among the winners, after hitting bonanza grades from four diamond drill holes (1,033m) at its Bankan project in Guinea.
