Posted at 25/4/2007 09:42 by brianbush What is likely to happen to the final dividend, will it be included in the offer? |
Posted at 20/4/2007 17:44 by audand2 1300p?Nice thought but don,t think so. With a following wind might see a counter bid up to 11.45s (+divi) but that imho is the top. Holding a bundle of these so the higher the better but just being realistic.(CGT a real issue though, Gordon B is on a winner here!!) S |
Posted at 30/3/2007 18:00 by miata "why it should drop below 1040" ?1) The money is not available immediately 2) To get the 1040p a purchaser of AB shares would have to pay 0.5% stamp duty. 3) The 1040p includes the 19p dividend. 4) The consortium stressed there is no certainty a formal offer will follow. |

Posted at 25/3/2007 19:41 by miata Re Original Boots Alliance mergerFull details of the merger see: In essence special dividend was to give the proceeds of the sale of BHI to shareholders. Method equals taxable dividend income. Reduced number of shares reflects smaller percentage of bigger merged business. |
Posted at 25/3/2007 16:44 by slinky lady Could somebody please help me? I'm trying to make sense of my figures for my tax purposes. I held 100 Boots shares which then got reduced to 67 Alliance Boots shares last year. Was the special dividend in February 2006 the way of 'paying' for the 23% reduction in my shares or did they get 'sold' with another payout?Trying to work out whether there is just dividend income or sales income resulting in a CGT liability (not on this amount of course - elsewhere!) Thanks so much for assistance of those whose recollection/paperwo |
Posted at 13/3/2007 10:35 by jeffian Conan,I don't buy this argument that going private is "the right way to go". Why? What will management do as a private concern that they couldn't do for us as shareholders? If difficult decisions have to be taken which may impact on short-term profits but to the benefit of longer-term returns, then all management have to do is set out that strategy and sell it to shareholders. Frankly, it is all too apparent that the motivation of most MBO's is to seize an opportunity to buy something cheap and sell it back more expensively a few years later with the resulting profit accruing to former managers rather than shareholders. Fitness First, New Look, Monsoon etc., the list is endless. I came into AB. via Alliance Unichem and Stefano Pessina has always run the show as a personal feifdom - fine as long as his own interests were aligned with other shareholders - and the Boots takeover was absolutely his baby. I wouldn't be surprised if the current situation was all part of The Grand Plan from way back. I fear it's going to succeed because, if not, SP's position will be untenable in which case we both lose our Executive Chairman and have a disgruntled 15% shareholder. Whether that makes it "the right way to go" is open to debate IMHO. Regards, Ian |
Posted at 13/3/2007 00:29 by conan the trader When Private Equity buys, AB is no longer a PLC so doesnt need to turn in decent results every quarter. Pressina+KKR will invest heavily in the distribution side, cutting out costs and vastly improving efficiency, increased debt will pay for the investment needed. Within 2 years AB will be a transformed highly efficient and very profitable new business. Then it will come back on to the market as a PLC again. |
Posted at 01/2/2007 07:05 by indieman Off topic but interesting.According to the Daily Telegraph which did its own O'Higgins article, AB. was up 37% over the year to Dec 2006. The overall outcome for the method for the 5 share picks was +23.6%, 'which was nice'. |
Posted at 01/8/2006 17:14 by no dice MIATA is referring to the merger dividend detailed in the 'Scheme Effective' UKREG news of 31 Jul and payable on 3 Oct. The Boots final dividend of 21p is still due on 4 Aug. |
