I had two parcels of shares, one a personal holding and one in a nominee account. In both cases the money arrived about five days before Christmas. I suggest you contact your broker!

Britannia Living Limited - Offer for Range Cooker Company PLC



Offer Wholly Unconditional






On 8 November 2002 Altium Capital made an offer (the "Offer"), on behalf of
Britannia Living Limited ("Britannia Living"), for the whole of the issued
ordinary share capital of the Range Cooker Company PLC ("Range"). Britannia
Living is pleased to announce that, all of the conditions of the Offer having
been satisfied or waived, the Offer is now declared unconditional in all
respects.



Settlement of the consideration due to Range Shareholders who have validly
accepted the Offer will be effected in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The Offer will remain open until further notice.



As at 3.00 p.m. on 10 December 2002, valid acceptances of the Offer had been
received in respect of a total of 154,845,023 Range Shares, representing
approximately 97.4 per cent. of the current issued ordinary share capital of
Range. Such figures have been confirmed by Capita IRG plc, who are acting as
receiving agent to the Offer.



As at close of business on 14 February 2002 (being the business day prior to the
commencement of the Offer Period), Britannia Living neither owned nor controlled
any Range Shares.



Included in the total above are acceptances, representing in aggregate
approximately 73.6 per cent. of the issued share capital of Range, received
from:



(i) John Armstrong, the Chairman And Managing Director of Range, in
accordance with the provisions of the irrevocable undertakings to accept the
Offer given by him in respect of his holding of 108,200,000 Range Shares,
representing approximately 68.1 per cent. of Range's issued share capital; and



(ii) Nigel Wray in accordance with the provisions of the irrevocable
undertakings to accept the Offer given by him in respect of 8,798,000 Range
Shares, representing approximately 5.5 per cent. of Range's issued share
capital.



As sufficient acceptances have been received under the Offer, Britannia Living
intends to implement the provisions of sections 428 to 430F of the Companies Act
to acquire compulsorily all outstanding Range Shares. A letter, together with a
statutory notice pursuant to section 429, will shortly be posted to Shareholders
who have not yet accepted the Offer.



Britannia Living will procure that Range applies for the cancellation of the
admission to trading of Range Shares on the Alternative Investment Market. It
is anticipated that such cancellation will take effect twenty business days from
this date. Following cancellation of admission to trading, Range Shares will no
longer be traded on a recognised investment exchange and accordingly there will
be no market for Range Shares and they may be difficult to sell. In addition,
Range will be re-registered as a private company in due course.


Range Shareholders are urged to accept the Offer without delay, as this will
enable them to receive the consideration under the Offer sooner than under the
compulsory acquisition procedures referred to above.

HI james8 sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Very good call on the Hornby stock unfortunately for me I have never been a holder. My favorite holding for over 3 years now has been TOWN CENTRE SECURITIES (TCSC), it has been a steady improver, with a nice yield, steady buyback of shares (when short termers off -load), its also has a good balance of CEO & Director ownership. But best off all it has a huge discount to NAV (LEAVING EVEN MORE ROOM IMPROVEMENT) AND Nigel Wray is nowhere to be seen.

I agree with recent comments; I am a long term holder, having bought in at 14p, I acknowledged that Armstrong was acting reasonably in the earlier negotiations when the price was to be around 20p+, but to spread news that the earlier deal was abandonned because the price was too low, engendering the expectation that any takeover would now be at well over 20p, followed by the cancellation of the special dividend, with no hint that this meant anything other than that the 1p would be added to the buyout price, (saving us all some income tax), culminating in a fait accompli at 18p - well, it all stinks.

Article in this wks IC pointing out that there is 73.6% acceptances and that the deal is "all but final". "Little choice but to accept". "For now await documents".
The last thing I want is to be stuck indefinately with shares in an unquoted company.

contrarian,
my favourite share which meets most of the Slater criteria is Hornby:- no debt; good divi; low PE; almost unique products with household names which are selling well; share price at new high.
Interims next Fri
what about you?

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY james8
DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT FAVOURITES WHICH A)DO NOT HAVE DIRECTOR OWNNERSHIP OVER 30% AND B) NIGEL WRAY IS NOT INVOLVED?

contrarian,
I agree with your sentiments about being ripped off.
Answer to Qu1 is in Offer statement which says that other interested parties couldn't come up with the money.
I'd also like an answer to qu2. (I can't believe that he's foregoing some of his share as an act of charity!)
Investor Guru, Jim Slater advises against buying into companies where the directors own more than 30% of the shares- now I can see why!

james8

I held these shares quietly for over two years, I've enjoyed the dividends, but now I feel like we the real shareholders have been totally ripped off.

Q1) What happened to the other party that was interest in the company and what were they offering?.

Q2)If John Russell can afford to give up 5.86p of every share he owns why didn't he return this to the shareholders?

Q3)How can such a profitable company with over £7 mil in cash only be worth £22.9mil?

Q4)With so many other disillusioned people up and down the country exiting the share market when will the FSA DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT THESE "CLOAK AND DAGGER BROWN PAPER BAG PRACTISES?".

Any ideas... I would love to here them.

pps Perhaps collectively we come could bombard the company website and Head Office telephone or simple boycott the product.

Anyone know the timetable yet ? especially, when is the money forthcoming.
As far as i'm concerned this is now dead money that can be put to better use elsewhere.

Just realised it's a stupid question....won't find out until the offer document is published !

Greg,
I agree that they need 90% for the bid to become unconditional but if 50-90% accept then shareholders can choose to become minority shareholders in an unquoted company.(though probably not a good idea)- that's my understanding anyway.
BTW thanks for the explanation of Armstrong's holding yesterday, but i don't understand WHY he's agreed to reduce his 'take-out' price.

james8
07/11/2002

Sorry, posted before I had finished, new to this posting lark, meant to finish of by saying that it seems to me that they need 90% for the bid to succeed & if they achieve that the remainder will be compulsory purchased.

I am no expert in Company Law, but the following is taken from the annoucement from Britannia Living which would seem to suggest you would not become a Shareholder in an unquoted Co. if you do not accept.

"If Britannia Living receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of and/or
otherwise acquires 90 per cent. or more of the Range Shares to which the Offer
relates, and the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, it
intends to apply the provisions of sections 428 to 430F (inclusive) of the
Companies Act to acquire compulsorily all outstanding Range Shares."
