PARIS/LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Dem deutschen Bezahldienste-Anbieter Wirecard könnte bei einem möglichen Übernahmeversuch des britischen Konkurrenten Worldpay ein weiterer Bieter in die Quere kommen. Der französische Rivale Ingenico hat laut einem Bericht des britischen Senders Sky ein Angebot in Höhe von mehr als 6 Milliarden Pfund (8,2 Mrd Euro) für Worldpay auf den Tisch gelegt. Bei Ingenico war am Freitag zunächst niemand für eine Stellungnahme erreichbar. Wirecard kommentiert Berichte über ein mögliches Interesse an Worldpay nicht. Andere Interessenten für Worldpay sind Berichten zufolge weitere Investmentfirmen, darunter ein Zusammenschluss von Blackstone Group und Hellman & Friedman.
Nach dem Aufkommen der Gerüchte über den Einstieg von Wirecard in das Bietergefecht war die Aktie der Bayern kräftig gefallen. Das Gebot für Worldpay liegt demnach ebenfalls etwa bei 6 Milliarden Pfund. Wirecard selbst hat aktuell eine Marktkapitalisierung von 4,5 Milliarden Euro. Nach dem Sky-Bericht über das Interesse von Ingenico legten Wirecard-Papiere am Freitag zu./fri/stb

Sky News has learnt that Ingenico Group, which is listed on the Euronext stock exchange, submitted an offer to buy Worldpay earlier this week that is said to have valued it at more than £6bn.
Ingenico, which has a market value of 7.1bn (£5.2bn), is said to be determined to see off competition from rival bids from Germany's Wirecard and a private equity consortium comprising Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman and Singapore's Government Investment Corporation.
The bidders are trying to persuade Advent International and Bain Capital, Worldpay's existing owners, to abandon plans to float the company by offering greater certainty in the form of a full exit.
At least one of the offers from potential buyers is understood to value Worldpay in the region of £6.5bn.
There are said to be opportunities to create substantial synergies from a combination with one of Worldpay's European competitors.
The alternative of a takeover has been thrown into sharper focus by the turbulence which has hit global equity markets in the last fortnight, triggered by concerns about China's economic growth.
Bankers say that a return to the level of turmoil seen at beginning of this week would oblige some companies seeking public share offerings to pursue sales or delay their plans.
Advent and Bain are likely to decide within the next few weeks which route to take, with Worldpay set to be propelled straight into the FTSE-100 if they opt for a public listing.
An insider said there had been strong interest from institutional investors in buying Worldpay shares.
Worldpay is performing well, with unaudited results for the first half of this calendar year showing a 13% rise in underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to £182.6m.
Philip Jansen, Worldpay's chief executive, said the results reflected its "ongoing focus on investing in technology and building our business, developing new and innovative products and meeting the evolving needs of our customers to help them prosper".
"Our continued investment in technology and customer service is complemented by a number of new and exciting products launched during 2015. Combined with Worldpays global reach and capability this creates significant opportunities to continue to grow our business," he said.
The news of Ingenico's interest comes just days before Sir Mike Rake, the City grandee, takes over as Worldpay's chairman.
The appointment of Sir Mike, who replaces John Allan, the new chairman of Tesco. sparked concern at the banking regulator because of his intention to step down from Barclays' board during a period of upheaval for the lender.
The looming change of ownership comes roughly five years after Worldpay was sold by the bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in a deal worth approximately £2bn.
Advent and Bain bought Worldpay as the taxpayer-backed lender sought to dispose of assets following its £45.5bn bail-out.
The payments group has grown at a spectacular rate since then, with Mr Jansen, a former executive with the catering group Sodexo and MyTravel, the tour operator, spearheading the company's growth.
Specialising in the provision of secure payment services, its major corporate customers include Google and Sony.
Comparable listed companies such as Wirecard and Brazils Cielo usually trade at valuations worth between 14 and 20 times their annual profits.
With Worldpay expected to record around £400m of pre-tax profit in 2015, a similar valuation range would attribute a price tag of between £5.6bn and £8bn to the company.
In the UK, Worldpay combines the former Streamline business with Cardsave, YESpay and Zinc, handling well over half of all card transactions.
The company sees further growth opportunities in the ongoing push to open up payment systems, with a new regulator recently assuming oversight of the industry in the UK.
Worldpay, which declined to comment, also owns a valuable stake in Visa Europe, which is in talks about a takeover by its US cousin, Visa Inc.

Bis dato hatte er alles im Griff. Das WDI wachsen muss bzw. will ist uns ja bekannt.
Aber diese Dimension....
ist kein Betriebswirt/ Berater unter uns der sich mit etwaigen Möglichkeiten von Unternehmensfinanzierung, - zusammenschluß auskennt?
Kaptalerhöhung ist mir persönlich zu platt? Wie sollen 8,5 Mrd. Euro durch KE zusammenkommen? 250 Mio Aktien zu 35 Euro? Ich kann es mir nicht vorstellen! Lasse mich aber auch eines besseren belehren.
Hier vielen schon Bergrifflichkeiten wie:
Fusion unter gleichen, Einbuchung von Verbindlichkeiten, Erhöhung Sachanlage
Was ist mit der!
Ausgabe einer Unternehmensanleihe?
Hatt keiner ein Rechenbeispiel?

"Worldpay pushing bidders for higher offers
The private equity owners of Worldpay tell bidders they will have to work harder if they want to buy the payments firm before its stock market float
§
British payments giant Worldpay is pushing bidders to submit higher offers if they want to snap up the firm before it is floated on the stock market, insiders say, as a fierce bidding war develops.
French payments firm Ingenico Group is the latest to put in a bid for Worldpay, which would value the business at more than £6bn, in a development first reported by Sky News.
It follows offers from JP Morgans private equity arm, German-based payments company Wirecard and private equity firms Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman.
Worldpay has been owned by Bain Capital and Advent International since 2010, when they bought a majority stake from Royal Bank of Scotland for $3bn (£2bn). It will soon be chaired by outgoing Barclays deputy chairman Sir Mike Rake, who said he will stay at the bank until at least the end of 2015.
But rather than sell out, Worldpay's private equity owners also have the option to take the company public on the stock market.
A final decision on the future ownership of the payments business is expected to be made in the coming weeks, after a summer of bids and counter-bids from competing would-be buyers.

In 2014 Worldpay made an underlying profit of £765m on revenues of £3.6bn.
Everything is on the table the market turmoil this week has not put anyone off, said a source with knowledge of the sale process.
The owners are not going to get an IPO [initial public offering] where they completely sell down their holdings at once, so what they think is that the company could do well over the next 18 months, which would give them more upside on the remaining stake.
Anticipating that its value will rise over time, the private equity owners of Worldpay argue that any trade buyer should offer to value the company more highly than an initial market valuation in a stock market float.
Another incentive for Bain and Advent to run an IPO, which would allow them to hold a large stake in the company for longer, is that the fund through which they invested in Worldpay has now closed.
That means the companies cannot reinvest the proceeds of the sale in a new target instead, they must give it back to all of the investors who backed it. Accordingly, they want to get the biggest payout possible on the Worldpay sale to boost investor returns."
