Claimar Care Share Discussion Threads

[gac100] 08/8/2009 11:56

A couple of articles on the proposed offer by Housing 21.





According to the FT

"The 39p per share offer from Housing 21 values the entire share capital of the group at just under £20m, and follows an auction process that involved about 10 bidders from both the care industry and private equity."

Looks unlikely in these circumstances that anyone else would be willing to pay above 39p for the company.

Looks like a knockout deal pending net debt clarification. Maybe bring down the bid price by a few pence eventually. Can't see anyone else bettering it to be honest. Not fussed as holding since sub 7p a while ago. IMHO

rather than sell, bought some more at 31p... sharp discount to probable offer price and also due to recent results rns

"the Group has taken soundings from a number of trade parties and
potential private equity buyers, which indicate that there is an appetite to
purchase the whole Group. The review process has continued and the Board has to
date received a number of indicative conditional proposals to make an offer for
the entire issued share capital of the Company. This may or may not lead to such
an offer being made. The Board will inform shareholders of further progress when
appropriate. "

well done knowing, respect.

I have sold out now. Happy with a multibagger and will leave a little for the next man. If the bid fell through it would imply there is something drastically wrong. As such I wasn't prepared to take the risk for another 6p.

[aspers] 07/8/2009 09:34

Maybe even a counter bid???...I have held this for near on 2 years now so today am I happy bunny!!!

[gac100] 07/8/2009 09:32

Looking good, but not quite over the finishing line yet. Hopefully a firm offer before the end of the month.

[dibbs] 07/8/2009 09:22

Well done to those who kept the faith. A very nice outcome indeed.

Many congulations for your call here.

39p much better than I thought. Would have been happy with 25p. Will probably look to take some off the table just in case.

[mister md] 07/8/2009 08:39

me too, but only sold 1/2, so v. happy with the other 1/2 !!

[gozo] 07/8/2009 08:26

Well done to all who got this one.

Almost bought at around 15p a few weeks ago but got scared off when it dropped back to 12p ish.

Suppose when you think about this the population is living longer and diseases like Dementia etc are increasing so this should be a good long term growth story.

[knowing] 30/7/2009 11:57

Seems like every buy is moving the price.

[the big fella] 30/7/2009 11:52

I am hoping this will be a nice run towards 20p on this spike. Volume small which may suggest news not imminent.

[knowing] 30/7/2009 11:42

Well it looks like it won't form.

[dibbs] 29/7/2009 14:52

Chart from May looking very much like a head and shoulders formation with the right shoulder now forming. Of course if the offer comes in at a mega price then it won't form!

[zoltanvarga74] 29/7/2009 14:14

Is the FD still at Claimar? He's not shown as a director on their site: but I can't see an RNS saying that he's gone.

Also interesting to read under Mark Hales that: "In 2007, Claimar won "Acquirer of the Year 2008" in recognition of its unique acquisition strategy." Hmmm, unique possibly, but not in a good way.

[knowing] 23/7/2009 15:29

News of an offer coming I wonder?

[gac100] 23/7/2009 08:48

bidderS plural

"... The review process has continued and the Board has to date received A NUMBER OF INDICATIVE CONDITIONAL PROPOSALS to make an offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company. This may or may not lead to such an offer being made. The Board will inform shareholders of further progress when appropriate."

edit: old news - from the 30-Jun interims

[gyau] 23/7/2009 08:28

sneaky feeling the bidder has walked away looking at the price fall recently

i reckon we could see 7p if this hunch is confirmed?
