Crystal Amber obviously pretty confident in the future upside with their recent purchase and the fact that they already have a 9% holding.

Price ticking up a bit. Looks to be a decent entry point here, especially if the board can get the price of the bid up a bit to over 90p.

[bingowing] 29/1/2013 07:53

Have they increased or decreased?

[soundbuy] 29/1/2013 07:42

Er.........does this mean have Crystal Amber aren't party to negotiations like HH.........?

[bingowing] 29/1/2013 07:07

[britishb] 28/1/2013 17:06

What makes you say that afpk53? Or did you just make it up?

[afpk53] 28/1/2013 17:04

On the other hand it was Crystal Amber who bought that 160k at 76p on Friday, so they're still keen.

[bingowing] 28/1/2013 16:39

Update from Carmensfella on TMF

[brinks_matt] 25/1/2013 17:52

I wonder what part CRS will play in the ultimate end game? They have publically stated that their aim is to extract maximum value for their fund. I can't see them having exactly the same motives as the two biggest holders, and they generally follow a policy of engaging with the directorate to maximise their fund value. I'd love to know their take on any offer in the high 80's as they stated in their January asset holdings statement that they still believed API to be undervalued. I guess we'll all find out in the neair term.

I still believe that sale, or no sale, shareholders are in a win win position.

CR, I was thinking along the same lines, I noticed Carmensfella write up and 140p target price mentioned on this thread. So I assumed it might have caused the spike from 84p to 91p as others brought in. Seems like directors were content at 84p level, but they felt they had to issue a statement at the higher level.

Suspect the proposals are around the 84p level and would hope they can nudge the price towards 90p.

But what do I know, I will stop speculating now and await developments.

Fair play to the management I suppose - we don't like it when we're kept in the dark re developments - difficult for the management to sit back and watch an ever ascending price beyond any indicative offer made - will sit on mine for a while and may ultimately come down to the wishes of the two dominant holders - personally reckon any offer close to £1 will do it now so game certainly not over yet.....

[cockneyrebel] 25/1/2013 15:09

Well, have to say I hadn't seen Carmensfella's bit on Motley Fool with a target price of 140p. I think that triggeered the recent spike that has taken the price up sharply this week. Obviously got to the price a buyer had suggested and so rapidly that the co had to make a statement imo.

140p target looks a bit excessive imo. I always looked for 100-110p and tsaid that I thought they were worth over 100p here.

Suspect there's a number of buyers from this week duping then and feeling a bit miffed.

Holding what I have. If they sit in the Pension and grow to 100p I'll sell then perhaps, if there isn't a bid.

[mog] 25/1/2013 14:46

Obviously a bit disappointing the indicative proposals are below 90p but as others have said there's plenty of scope for negotiations to up the price. I liked two things:

The word proposals is plural - more than one bidder competing against each other.

"The Board also reserves the right to reject any approach or terminate discussions with any interested party or participant at any time" - a clear message to the bidders that although they've put themselves up for sale they're not selling at any price.

ic2 - Please let me know If you do discover a way to invest with hindsight.

Thanks in advance (or maybe that should be thanks in retrospect)

[interceptor2] 25/1/2013 13:06

Agree it is a funny old game.

First time I have held a stock where the two largest shareholders have requested the company puts itself up for sale. It's such a tough environment to sell a company for a generous premium, looking at other takeovers last year few exceeded a per of 10 by very much, so I feel that 90p level is about right here. Yet we have the unknown of the properties in North America to throw in the mix.

In hindsight Wednesday offered a good opportinity to sell, as new buyers arrived, if only I could invest on hindsight. But I think on balance that I will hang around for the situation to play itself out.

Funny ol' game ain' it.



:-)

[cockneyrebel] 25/1/2013 12:28

I think if you look at the preceeding sells they added up to near 160k - that buyer probably just took what mm's had left on the book to sell that they were working imo.

Price firming now.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 25/1/2013 12:26

160k - so today's sellers sold out to the buyer on the cheap then?

CR

[protean] 25/1/2013 12:23

160k buy there by the looks of things.

[beaufort1] 25/1/2013 12:10

Fall looks overdone to me - should creep back up to about 80p soon.
