Welsh - AFAIUI under the Scheme of Arrangement (which was approved yesterday) Betsson will acquire the ENTIRE issued & to be issued capital of NPT. Therefore you no longer have any choice in the matter; you will receive your 9p per share regardless of whether you voted in favour of the takeover or not. You do not need to do anything.

If they were effecting the takeover by way of a Tender Offer (cf current proposed takeover of Ithaca Energy by Delek), then you would have had to tender your shares for the offer, otherwise you would have been left with shares in an unlisted entity. However, with the NPT takeover this is not the case so all shareholders will get 9p per share regardless. Aimho.

Just seen this in today's Shares magazine online: https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/article/should-you-accept-or-reject-a-takeover-bidACCEPT THE BID; IT'S THE BEST OFFER YOU'LL GETShareholders in gambling group NetPlay TV (NPT:AIM) will soon be asked to vote on a 9p cash per share takeover offer from Betsson. We've heard rumblings from private investors that many shareholders aren't happy with the price, saying it is less than half the level at which the company traded three years ago. We believe shareholders should accept the bid as the business faces an extremely tough period should it remain as an independent entity. NetPlay has been hammered by tougher taxes in the gambling sector over the past few years and the situation will only get worse. An additional tax comes into force later this year on 'free bet' offers which will eat into another large chunk of its earnings. The company lacks sufficient scale in our view and has failed in its attempts to diversify geographically. It doesn't have the money to make investments to stay competitive. As such, we believe investors need to accept that the share price is highly unlikely to return to its 20p+ dizzy heights seen in 2014. We see little chance of someone else making a higher offer. NetPlay talked to various third parties in the second half of 2016 and didn't attract a single bid.

We are screwed. If this does not go through I fear that NPT are just not good enough to make a fist of it. Management is simply not up to it.

This is a bad deal but the only deal in town.

I will take a large haircut on this but little option by the looks of it. Haircut could be even greater if it does not go through

Very good article on pg14 of this weeks IC, says it all:"Kindred's bid brings into sharp perspective the derisory offer for rival Netplay TV from acquirer Bettson, a company that has been a leading consolidator in the online gaming sector following its acquisitions of TonyBet and Racebets in 2016. Bettson is only offering an 11 per cent premium to Netplay's average share price over the past three months, and values Netplay at less than six times analysts' cash profit estimates to enterprise value for the 2016 financial year. Netplay's shareholders are also being deprived of their final payout, a wholly unacceptable state of affairs as I highlighted a fortnight ago"Dyor.coxsmn

I've been an avid lurker of this forum and find it one of the most useful discussions on the Company (other than Chimers helpful comments). I've been a follower of this company since Simon Thompson tipped it in IC but I am getting increasingly concerned about my investment - so much so that I got my partner to try and call the CEO yesterday to ask him a few questions. Needless to say she didn't get through but she did speak to someone at their media agency.

I'd heard that SPO were considering buying NPT before Christmas which seemed like an odd turn up for the books considering NPT had tried to buy the Pools previously. But perhaps after their VAT windfall, they had some spare cash. I'd also read somewhere (possibly on this forum?) about a merger possibility with TTR back in the summer but ever since I started following the company there has been speculation on that. This led me to start wondering if that meant that NPT was up for sale, which seemed likely to me. However their media people said that there was nothing happening on that front as they would have been obliged to announce it, being a public company.

So if NPT aren't trying to sell or merge, then I wonder how they will get the share price back up again? I see Slaters have recently been selling and I'm generally a fan of Mark Slater so this causes a bit of worry. There have also been no recent director buys and as Smithless pointed out their Chairman seems to sell everytime there is some liquidity.

Chimers .. what exactly are you angry about?

We don't know who owned otherside or if there is a link to directors and yes we are a suspicious over the deal from a trust point of view, but I'm sticking with the accounts and the potential and putting that aside for now, given the very low share price with close to half mkt val in cash and earnings growing again.

Obviously if you think we are all going to scammed then all you need to do is ignore NPT ( we understand your warning) and get on with investing in more 'reputable' companies. Please let us know who they are as we would be interested too.

Some shareholders don't seem to understand the share consolidation at all and imply it is some sort of scam. I suggest they try Googling "Special dividends share consolidation" where they will find a number of identical situations. Companies that are shown in the search results include International Hotels Group, Direct Line, Johnson Matthey, Homeserve, and Segro.

This is an extract from Direct Line's Q&A document:-
"It is anticipated that, as a result of the decrease in market value of Direct Line Group following payment of the Special Dividend, there would, without a consolidation of Direct Line Group's ordinary share capital, be a corresponding decrease in the market price of the Existing Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, as is customary where companies pay a significant special dividend to their
shareholders, in order to maintain (subject to normal market fluctuations) the market price for ordinary shares at approximately the same level as prevailed immediately prior to the Special Dividend, a consolidation of Direct Line Group’s ordinary share capital is proposed"

It isn't a scam, it isn't some way of duping investors, it's quite normal practice. If you can't understand it, maybe you shouldn't be investing in the first place.

Yes the share capital was reduced, but that doesn't mean much except each remaining share is then worth more (all other things being equal). Am I missunderstanding something here?

I'm not sure why they did that as it makes no difference as far as I can see.

The mkt cap is the mkt cap irrespective of how you divide it by shares.

Shareholders all got a big payment from the company balance sheet so not sure what the conspiracy theory or suspicion of Chimers is actually about.

I think the Belize aquisition is what everyone is suspicious about and it's still hounding the share price for transparancy reasons. I can understand the suspicions, and we don't know who they bought it from, but i've put that aside for now and bought the stock as it looks great value. Great YIeld, Very Profitable,Cash in balance sheet and an additional surpise deal could be done anytime. It could be a takeover target too at this cheap level.

AISHAH - I do hope you're right. The share price performance here has been pretty atrocious over the past 3yrs in spite of the useful dividends in the meantime. Here's to much better in 2017!

Looking at the other players in the gaming sector,NPT share price is so cheap there is only one way this can go.Making a profit paying a dividend and a share price at less than 10p/share.Bargin price.c2
