The point is that in this case the number of shares not tendered or already owned will be a fraction of 1% so it is not worth imho taking bonuses in lieu of dividends for tax reasons which far outweigh the downside of paying me a few quid
Also it is a tough market for rec cons. One of the best is Michael Page, which has scaled down a bit but is still faring well as a quoted company
But NRG will own 99.9% or whatever so they will give it their all and the North is nowhere near as affected by the recession in top technical professional jobs as the South East and NRG have got deals signed giving them exclusive rights to place all advertised vacancies for about 20 of the biggest and strongest Northern employers, none of whom are especially hit by the recession
Also I will be there standing in the way of them reselling unless they pay me properly and while they do all the work they cannot prevent me from following in their fortunes in regards to the shares
The 90% trigger thing 2 people have now mentioned is when an MBO or buyout.takeover occurs but that is now, post tender, hardly worth it just to get my shares
I may see a higher offer from them, and in future years dividends, but I will be left holding my tiny chunk of their company.
THEY DID IT BY TENDER OFFER BECAUSE IF THEY DID IT BY COMPULSORY TAKEOVER AT 40p THEY WOULD FALL FOUL OF LSE RULES SINCE THEY ARE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE OFFERING A LOW PRICE BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT FACT ITSELF (THEY HAVE LONG HELD 50% plus and made massive purchases in 2008 at above 40p (see ADVFN) AND BY PASSING ON THE DIVIDEND TO FURTHER LOWER THE PRICE WHEN THERE WAS NO NEED TO REDUCE THE DIVIDEND TO ZERO THE LSE WOULD GET INVOLVED Charles Stanley know that
So instead they picked the moment to use Charles Stanley to make a tender offer and the pernicious document was used to simultaneously convey that the shares would be delisted
I gave the same advise over PKL which delisted in this way at 30p and 3 years later offered me £1 which I took
As for people selling in the market for less than 40p they are mugs, unless of course they have a large holding (another pernicious element in the tender was that you had to tender 100% of your holding, something that I suppose they just get away with but I suspect you are seeing people reducing, and taking my gamble in the same small way). If I had masses of these shares and the money meant a lot to me I might sell some in the market so as to hold an amount I was happy to hold
You may as of yesterday have lost the ability to buy as the tender offer has officially expired and MM's may genuinely have no stock

except they aren't on AIM

Oops, yes.

What I object to is the MBO team (which is what they are) using their control of the company to get the business on the cheap.

Compare if it had been a third party. Because they've bought shares in NRG in the last 12 months, they would have had at least to pay the maximum price paid i.e. 45p. In addition NRG probably wouldn't have passed the dividend. So we'd probably get at least 50p. They'd also have to negotiate with directors acting in shareholders (as opposed to their own) interests.

I'm afraid its the sort of behaviour which gives AIM a bad name. And they wonder why there is no demand for shares in companies like NRG! Its designed to do one thing only and that's line the pockets of the executive/major shareholder; an MBO in drag. The Morans struck when the share price was at its lowest. Jupiter clearly also wanted out but was unable to find a buyer for its 18% stake. What happened to the responsibility of the executives to other shareholders? The passing of the dividend 6 weeks ago dropped the share price from 40.5p to 35.5p at a stroke and is now shown up for what it was; a cynical move from which there has been only one beneficiary. Pretty shabby.

I'd expect NRG to be sold in the not too distant future (Lorna is getting on a bit). The price will be quite a bit north of where it is today. Unfortunately only the Morans will left to benefit.

Hi Erduk

If you do not accept the tender price or otherwise sell ahead of delisting, your shares don't suddenly worthless. But you will no longer hold shares in a quoted company but rather in an unquoted private company, Northern Recruitment Ltd. You won't be able to sell any of your holding to a market maker and will likely be locked in by the absence of any buyer until the major shareholders (the Morans who are executive directors) sell out. But lots of people hold shares in private companies (private equity backers for one though they write in all sorts of protection if they are to take minority position).

If the directors' 9,030,063 Ordinary Shares, represent approximately 57.03 per cent. of the TRV (Total Voting Rights) of the Company then TVR is about 15.835 milliion (m) shares which at 40p/share puts a value on NRG of about £6.3m as jhan66 says, ignoring any to be issued shares such as options. Net asset (all tangible) value at 30 June was reported at about £5.7m, including about £3.9m cash at 30 June, which is about 35.7p/share. Deducting that cash balance from market value of shares gives an enterprise value of about £2.4m for a business that reported an EBITDA of about £1.1m for y/e 30 June and a net post tax cash flow from operating activities of £523k (down from £1.5m in prior year). Paying a little above net tangible asset value for a recruitment business is certainly not generous as the valuable assets of any such business are mostly intangible.


Of course the big unknown looking forward is how NRG's business will hold up during this recession. Post recession (whenever that is) the MD, Lorna Moran, who holds over 50% of shares, established the business years ago in the late 1970's and is now aged late fifties and the FD, aged early sixties, will presumably not want want to go on for ever.

Your trade is there on Plus Markets where this trades most of the time. Over 94k changed hands on Plus vs 10k on LSE.

To see the trades, click quote at the top of the screen, then type NRG in the search box and scroll down through the exchanges to PLUS. Select this and click search. The Plus ticker will then appear on the right. Click this and get the Plus quote, then click the Trades tab and the list of Plus trades will show up. There's about 20 trades totalling over 94k shares.

HTH

ps I hope you're including the management shares in your HYNS valuation. It's obviously not correct to multiply the share price by the ordinary shares in issue and say this is the market cap (totalling ignoring the millions of other shares) has been done before elsewhere.

There have been a couple of indicators for quite some time. I did't mention either as I'm a holder and didn't want to rain on my own parade by panicking people into selling.

Firstly, Digital Look has been forecasting a total divi for this year of 4.8p for several months now implying a 2.3p final divi instead of 5p last year. Clearly the analysts had been given a steer that the 5p final divi was to be cut. I didn't mention it months ago as I'm a happy holder at the lower divi level and so didn't feel like panicking people who were expecting 5p but it was there for all to see.

Secondly, the share price. With the consensus 2.3p divi there for all to see, anyone thinking that the market is so inefficient as to sit at 40p whilst a better-than-expected 5p divi rolls off was always going to be mistaken, especially after they spent 800k on buybacks. If the market had gotten wind that they were going to hold the 5p divi (instead of reducing it to 2.3p) then the share would have priced itself back up at least at twelve times this level (60p) instead of languishing as it did right up to today. The chart is often more accurate than people like to think.

Yes the total divi cut was a bit of a surprise to me but not a major one as I was only expecting a maximum of 2.3p anyway. Now with hindsight, I look back on events over the summer and realise I'm happy with what they've done with the cash instead. I also hope they line up more large chunks of stock to be bought back rather than returning a couple of pence here and there. I need this back over a quid to get my money back and they won't achieve it by running the business down for cash IMO :-)

Anyway, I'm not looking to fall out with anyone but I did think all the talk in the last couple of weeks of a 5p divi and 18.75% yield coming was ill-informed garbage and so it has proved to be.

Actually you need to compare market capitalisation (£5.70m) less cash (£3.88m) against taxed EBIT (£907k less tax of 30%). That gives a multiple of 2.9

All very cheap but it doesn't get away from the appalling news management by NRG of the dividend cut which is now driving the share price.

I agree.

The most likely place to find anything is the local rags - the Chronicle or the Journal.

BTW I found this while digging:



NRG is synonymous with quality recruitment services throughout the North East and beyond.

We are delighted to be associated with the Influential 500 – the only profile of influential people in the North East.

Regionally and nationally NRG's brand continues to grow, moving into new sectors and emerging industries with innovative recruitment solutions.

We continue to develop our expertise in project management launching our Recruitment Process Outsourcing business last year.

We are already winning significant national business.

As a group we now employ 140 staff with a further 1,000-plus temporary workers on client sites, working across the private, public and third sectors.

We successfully balance our focus on this region with the wider business challenges of a national recruitment and consultancy practice.

Chief executive and founder Lorna Moran says: "It's just great to be associated with a publication that includes so many clients, friends and appointees amongst its pages"

New appointment for NRG in the Tees Valley


IN the face of global challenges, there is a growing energy in the Tees Valley that is apparent to all.

Indeed on a recent visit Richard Lambert, director general of the CBI, noted that ''the mood in the Tees Valley is decidedly upbeat".

NRG plc are delighted to be a part of this growing positivity, and with their recent move to new spacious Middlesbrough town centre offices, are well positioned to respond to the growing needs of the sub-region, in the same unique way they have operated for over 30 years in the north of the region.

With key investment in the process and energy sectors and the confirmation of approval for the Northern Gateway, in addition to many other regeneration projects, exciting times lay ahead for the sub-region.

The recent appointment of Kiersten Wasson to the NRG team as business manager for the Tees Valley, and a continued expansion of the specialised finance, scientific and engineering teams, in addition to the long-standing connections of the NRG City and NRG

Works teams with the area, ensures that this expansion is aligned to support future growth.

NRG's performance in both the temporary and permanent markets continues to grow as the experienced teams push forward cementing relationships with local business as well as with national and multi-national organisations.

Kiersten says: "I am delighted to have joined NRG at this time, the positive future of the sub-region is in our hands, and those of us living and working in the Tees Valley are able to plan ahead with a level of confidence and self-belief that is truly justified."

The problem with NRG is that it has stopped growing - a bit earlier than the others did so down to the company not the market so it has a rating to match - if it starts to grow again that we will get the share price back to where it used to be. The managemnt have a bit to prove i think
