well if you have the offer you can't afford not to, you can buy shars at 37p that are worth aboy 55p today, that's free money, you can sell them straight away and make the difference.

Depends on how much the price they are offering you is for the shares ,and the market price for those shares.
That what you should look at first.

Then look at dividend returns and p/e ratios and compare with the other banks. Banking industry have been given a rough time though recently and to be honest, the worst has gone I think. The market looks to have dipped and it may be on the rise.

I would probably take the puntl depending on the amount of shares I was going to buy and the amount of risk associated with that stock that I was willing to work with. The decision will depend on your financial situation and whether you want to be associated with the risk involved in investing with these stocks and industry.
