23/6/2007 20:39 | The warrants could be good risk/reward at 1.2p but not sure when they expire does anyone know? | dave108 | |
22/6/2007 09:58 | isis - it is all about future potential. Sure, there's a risk - but from little acorns... Fitbug has users in United Kingdom62.5% India12.5% United States 8.3% Israel4.2% Germany4.2% Philippines4.2% Canada 4.2% according to alexa and momentum is building, just as it is for M&S. Could all go wrong of course, but there are significant figures at the helm, cash in the bank so I am personally happy to take the risk. I have a much lower entry point than today's price having bought in on the lows for the past year. If you do the sums as to what happens with increasing users you end up with potentially large profit and market cap. Of course, they have to get there! Regards and DYOR | trixter | |
22/6/2007 09:45 | 100% increae in revenues would still only be £2m - errrr, big deal. So at 6p Company isi valued at £13m and no sign of profit yet.............. BUPA have also taken a few bits for their money if you look at the statement. | isis | |
22/6/2007 09:23 | Isis, you could argue that this was a re-financing. However, given that this was at a huge premium to the current share price and the funds were provided by a blue chip company who have also taken an equity stake in a subsidiary at huge premium, it is perhaps not the way to view the transaction.

22/6/2007 09:07 | The statement does'nt mention anything about revenues or profits going forward - just that BUPA has bought a stake and some bits of the Company. You could also argue they were running out of money and its a Re-finance diguised as something else? ADDleisure PLC 22 June 2007 ADDleisure plc / Ticker: ADE.L / Index: AIM / Sector: Leisure 22 June 2007 ADDleisure plc ('ADDleisure' or 'the Company') Signs £6.7m deal with BUPA ADDleisure, a market leader in health and leisure products and services innovation, announces that BUPA, through its subsidiary BUPA Finance Plc ('BUPA'), has conditionally agreed to subscribe for a 29.9% stake in the Company through a £3.0 million investment by way of a subscription of 60,600,000 new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each ('Ordinary Shares') at a subscription price of 5 pence per share. BUPA has also conditionally agreed to make a further equity investment of £3.7 million to acquire a 50% equity stake in ADDleisure's wholly-owned subsidiary, ADD Wellness Holdings Limited ('Midco'), which, following an internal re-organisation and the acquisition of certain minority interests by the Company ('the Reorganisation'), will wholly own two product and service propositions: Fitbug Limited ('Fitbug') and Movers and Shapers Limited ('Movers & Shapers'). As part of the agreement, BUPA will be allowed to appoint a Non- executive Director to the board of ADDleisure. These two subscriptions by BUPA are, inter alia, conditional on the Reorganisation having completed before 17 August 2007. Following completion of the Reorganisation, application will then be made by the Company for the 60,600,000 new Ordinary Shares which are to be issued to BUPA to be admitted to trading on AIM. In addition, under the terms of an option agreement between the Company and BUPA to be entered into on completion, BUPA will be granted a right to subscribe for further new Ordinary Shares (at a subscription price equal to the prevailing market price of an Ordinary Share for the relevant preceding 20 business days) in order to maintain its 29.9% interest in the Company. The option is only exercisable should any warrants or options in issue (or capable of being issued under the Company's existing warrant instrument) at the date of the option agreement, together with the employee option to be granted and detailed further below, be exercised. The agreement will enable ADDleisure to further develop its key products and services - including Fitbug, Movers & Shapers and Ez-Book - and accelerate its expansion into the positive health and wellness territory, currently one of the fastest growing areas of the industry. ADDleisure's founders are some of the leisure industry's best-known entrepreneurs: David Turner, co-founder of LA Fitness; Allan Fisher, founder of Holmes Place; and David Cummin, founder of the software company Membertrack. Michael Warshaw, former Chairman of Molton Brown, is a shareholder in and a consultant to the Company. In tandem with the support of BUPA, the Directors aim to strengthen and develop ADDleisure's position in the corporate and consumer healthcare markets, where individuals are becoming more interested in proactive health management through improved nutrition, wellbeing and increased exercise. ADDleisure CEO David Turner said: 'ADDleisure was formed to provide innovative health and wellbeing concepts to inspire individuals to take more responsibility for their health. The Fitbug and Movers & Shapers propositions, developed in-house by our team of experts, are proven wellbeing concepts that have received very positive feedback. 'This deal not only endorses our strategy and product base but also gives ADDleisure a powerful, long term strategic partner in BUPA, with whom we can deliver these and other innovative products and services into the expanding wellbeing market. BUPA provides us with additional know-how and financial resource to enable us to fulfil our objective of becoming a leading investor in and provider of health and leisure products and services to both the UK market and overseas.' BUPA Insurance Managing Director Fergus Kee said: 'We see this partnership as an important step in allowing us to increase our focus on positive health and wellness, whilst also retaining our market leading position in the care and treatment of ill health. The combination of ADDleisure's management team and unique products and services together with our breadth of experience in the health and care industry will help us target new opportunities. 'The Government's White Paper Choosing Health: making healthier choices easier puts the onus firmly on individuals to take more responsibility for their health and wellbeing. It also suggested that the workplace represented the ideal platform on which to promote its welfare reform agenda. The independent sector has a crucial role to play in this arena.' On completion, BUPA together with David Turner, David Cummin, and Allan Fisher (being directors of the Company) will each enter into lock-in agreements in favour of the Company, and where relevant BUPA, not to dispose of any of the Ordinary Shares registered in their respective names, save for limited circumstances, for a period of 24 months from completion and thereafter, for a further 12 months, to only deal with their holdings of Ordinary Shares in an orderly manner with a view to the maintenance of an orderly market in the Ordinary Shares. Prior to 17 August 2007 the Company will acquire the minority interests in its subsidiary company Fitbug, which currently equals 25 per cent. of Fitbug's issued share capital, in consideration for the issue and allotment of 2,500,000 new Ordinary Shares, in aggregate, at an issue price of 5 pence per share and the Company will also acquire the minority interests in its subsidiary Movers & Shapers Limited, which currently equal 10 per cent. of Movers & Shapers issued share capital, in consideration for the issue and allotment of 10,000,000 new Ordinary Shares, in aggregate, at an issue price of 5 pence per share ('the Reorganisation'). The Company will make application on or before 17 August 2007 for the admission to trading on AIM of the 12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares which are to be issued as the consideration payable by the Company for the Reorganisation. In addition, the Company will grant employee options to subscribe up to 8,201,389 new Ordinary Shares, at a subscription price of 5 pence per share ('the Option').

22/6/2007 09:02 | isis, you can be pretty sure that BUPA will have thought of that. A company of their size and stature will not have invested nearly £7m without a very good reason. To start with BUPA have millions of customers to whon they can promote these products. The interesting question is what value the market now gives the company. It will have 200m shares with BUPA's contribution, giving ADE a market cap of £11m at 5.5p. The company will now have BUPA's cash, but only half of ADD Wellness (Fitbug + Movers & Shapers). However, ADD Wellness must be worth a lot more as a BUPA joint venture than as a stand alone company. My guess is that the shares will settle around 6 to 7p, but who knows. MJ | mjcrockett | |

18/6/2007 13:25 | Need to re-enter the USA. That is where the biggest potential for M&S and Fitbug is. Still, if they roll out to 60 Boots outlets there is a good chance of reasonable profit and significant re-rating, with more to come. M&S feels like it has the making of a good brand... | trixter | |
