Looks like GardaWorld have released the RNS to try to get some institutions to come over to them as well as get investors to put pressure on the board to negotiate. I suspect they already have had informal chats with II's.Unless Garda have the money to go hostile at a higher price, it will probably depend on whether the institutions need money for redemptions in the near future.

But a lot of big name investors cos they think the overment gravy train of contracts won't stop rolling

Sooner or later I think this will hit the buffers

Director buying ............. it don't impress me much

Two differing newspaper views of the company's debt situation. Not commenting either way but illustrates how fascinating investing can be because everyone has a different opinion based on identical facts!

First, The Telegraph (courtesy of Digital Look Tips Watcher):
G4S may be a good example, at the microeconomic level, of what had been taking place at the macroeconomic level. The company now has to pay off a multi-year acquisition binge but the profits generated from those new assets are falling. So it could well be the case that the price paid was too high and there might have to be some "chunky" write-offs in the value of the related "good-will" attached to those same assets. The company now finds itself in a situation where it owes twice as much to the banks – net debt - as the value of the assets on its balance sheet – net assets. Hence, Questor downgrades G4S to "sell."

Second, The Times (from its Business Editor's Comment column):

Unbuckled, with room to grow
It is one of the first things that an incoming chief executive of a company with potential credit rating issues is told by the chairman: "Control your balance sheet or it will control you."

Ashley Almanza, the new man at G4S, has not been slow to respond. His first public outing yesterday came with a £348 million share sale that, along with several asset sales, takes away the risk of a potentially costly ratings downgrade. The various writedowns announced - please don't call them a kitchen sink job, although that is what they are - also amount to a symbolic break with the Nick Buckles era.

The question is why Mr Almanza saw a pressing need to bolster the balance sheet at this moment. By his own admission, G4S faces no significant debt maturities this side of 2016, which rather suggests that he is seeking room for manoeuvre as he tries to put the company back on a growth trajectory.

That growth, given the Government's present grumpiness towards G4S, is more likely to be overseas than at home. If he gets it right, the investors who subscribed for new shares yesterday got a bargain.

They are "in play"... Activist investor buys 5%

247.10 was the last major low on the last big drop for this stock. I see today it's hit 246.60 and bounced slightly.

It's not technical analysis, but people do watch these levels so it's no coincidence that some have jumped in around this level. But my hunch is that as margins are being squeezed not just in the UK, the issue with the Olympics and the fact that general vibe appears to be that most investors have no confidence in the current CEO, and also there's been comments on the company report stating they expect margin pressures for the next year I think this will drop further.

The article in the investors chronicle does still keep me interested in this stock, but I'd be looking to buy it cheaper or not at all. Goldman may have actually gotten this right.

The next level I'm looking at is 240.40 if that doesn't hold then 237.30, 229.5O and 214.20. Either way, I'm not taking the risk of buying just now given the fact that the overall markets are at all time highs and with the above considerations.
