Gilston - Out of interest,why did you sell them ?

[gilston] 12/1/2009 16:45

Quite right, eburne. I have sold out today.

[eburne1960] 07/1/2009 18:44

Won't be long now.

[organstop] 07/1/2009 18:07

What ARE they up to?

[gilston] 07/1/2009 16:47

Some action at last. It can`t be that difficult to set up a shareholders` voluntary liquidation, to enable a distribution to shareholders. What are they up to?

[nickcduk] 08/12/2008 21:21

Have to find a business to reverse into within 12 months or else you have to de-list. Those 12 months were up for CRK in February. Obviously didn't think they would find anything before then.

[gilston] 08/12/2008 16:51

What listing regulations, nickcduck?

[nickcduk] 07/12/2008 17:18

Not really been forced into handing back cash by institutions. The clock was ticking and they were unlikely to get a deal completed before meeting listing regulations.

[gilston] 05/12/2008 17:32

This could have been forced on the company by the institutions desperate for cash [eg] Eaglet/ Knox d`Arcy who hold 3.633m shares & need to liquidate their own portfolio.

[currypasty] 05/12/2008 08:46

I was expecting to do what they said from day 1. This has been 4 years of tying cash up, and lost oportunity cost. If I had wanted cash back, i would have used a bank.

does anyone know where crk have their cash, and how safe it is ?

[diamond1] 08/10/2008 10:44

Must be time to buy something. There must be a few distressed companies around at the moment that need CRKs cash.

[organstop] 12/9/2008 21:33

OK.. so that didn't get a response!

[diamond1] 31/7/2008 13:57

Hello, hello! What's going on here then?

[gilston] 21/7/2008 17:09

CRK`s stated strategy is to seek ..." to acquire leisure businesses."

Last year the company spent £156,000 in abortive costs relating to possible acquisitions, which included an on line travel company. They have also previously looked at hotels.

[nickcduk] 18/7/2008 16:04

CRK is effectively a cash shell looking for investments in the restaurant sector. The likes of CARL have had a very good couple of days. Perhaps a deal isn't far off and we will get some news on Monday but I won't be holding my breath.

[spooky] 18/7/2008 16:00

Not exactly sure what sector you think the company is in, but a sudden rapid rise ahead of a Friday close reminds me of the good old days.

[nickcduk] 18/7/2008 15:45

A little excitement this afternoon. Not really sure what to make of it. I don't think a deal is imminent because director was buying only a couple of weeks ago. The sector itself has had a sharp bounce so maybe it is going up in sympathy. Whatever is behind it I am happy enough for it to hold.
