Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT SP) has been the subject of media reports about possible "strategic options" or go-private interest since this spring. They responded on 8 April. 
Today the shares were halted. We should expect news shortly. A Bloomberg article this morning suggested the promoters were seeking funding. Presumably, they will find it relatively quickly.
This could take a week rather than a day but given the run-up, one should also expect it a) to work and b) get done with small premium from here.
