"OXFORD INSTRUMENTS PLC - Director/PDMR Shareholding

PR Newswire

London, June 15

OXFORD INSTRUMENTS PLC

Announcement to the London Stock Exchange

On 15 June 2015 the Company’s Executive Directors were granted nil cost option awards over ordinary shares of 5 pence each under the Oxford Instruments plc Performance Share Plan (the "PSP") as noted below:
Executive Director Number of shares under award
Jonathan Flint 67,631
Kevin Boyd 45,087

Subject to the terms of the PSP, the awards will ordinarily vest and become exercisable as from the third anniversary of the grant of the awards subject to the grantee’s continued service and to the extent to which earnings per share growth and relative total shareholder return performance criteria are met over a measurement period comprising three financial years of the Company.

Once exercisable, an award shall ordinarily remain exercisable until the eve of the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the awards.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards and no consideration is due on the vesting and/or exercise of the awards.

On the same date, Jonathan Flint’s wife and Company employee, Claire Flint, was granted options under the Oxford Instruments Executive Share Option Scheme over 20,350 ordinary shares of 5 pence at an option price of £10.28.

The Company was notified of the above transactions on 15 June 2015."

Does this mean the directors get this huge number of shares for nothing? What does it depend on?

Probably a good entry point. As you say not great figures -not disastrous either.
If Andor going well some other bits must be slipping.

I do like these spikey movements in the share price combined with a narrow spread of 0.3% , tempting to trade on them...sold a third at 1080.

From Beaufort


Oxford Instruments (LON:OXIG) – Buy

On Friday, Oxford Instruments announced the acquisition of Medical Imaging Resources (MIR), founded in 1990 and specializing in building, leasing and servicing of mobile medical imaging labs. The consideration comprises £6.8m on deal completion and a further £6.6m earn-out payable after one year. MIR has approximately £2.0m net debt at completion. MIR’s sales for the year 2014 stood at £10.8m and the pre-tax profit was £1.8m with gross assets worth £6.1m. MIR leases its mobile labs to the customers across the US and also services them. These labs are built in MIR’s factory, with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) systems from Siemens, GE, Philips and Toshiba.

Our view: The acquisition of MIR bodes well for the future prospects of Oxford Instruments. The acquired business would be integrated into the company’s OIHealthcare division, thereby improving the company’s purchasing power and offering synergies in sections where there is duplication in operations. Both the companies serve General Electric MRI and CT machines in the US. Moreover, MRI has several other customers, for its mobile labs across the US that need to conduct CT and MRI trials but do not have additional infrastructure for the same. Oxford Instruments already enjoys a considerable brand equity and distribution network with an ever expanding network for its products. Thus, given its continued efforts to enhance operational efficiencies along with strategic acquisitions give the company a good upside potential. We retain a Buy rating for the stock.

Something strange happened at the close today having meandered around 970 all day - sharp rise to about 1060 and one apparent trade of 25,000 shares at 1037.

Perhaps he knows something about OXIGs listing that we don't...

Looking at the 10 yr share price graph above it is remarkable how volatile this has been.

What annoys me (as a long term shareholder) is that while the board have, as you say, been trousering a large amount of cash, the shareholders have rec'd damn all in terms of dividends. Increases in share price can be here today and, as we have found, gone tomorrow while divs. are in the bank and can be spent.

Tell me more about the shareholders'action group; hadn't heard about it. Any link?

Indeed i have joined the shareholders' action group. Company engineering administration by a suspect pattern that must be investigated by the law. Of course BLATANTLY the Bods are manoeuvring or are being manoeuvred by (? ) ( maybe who has the train set? ) thinking they are ahead of the law! The wishy washy legal loopholes have to be filled,and i believe a precedent will be set this time once and for ALL investors on the Aim

I did some background checks this morning -but couldn't be bothered posting. Seems like the main people on the board have been in situ for years trousering large amounts of cash whilst the share price has tanked. OK so that's recent -but this company looks like its in need of a shake up.I shall see who the main shareholders are and give it some thought. Looks like this was on a Renishaw,Spirax, Rotork type high rating and then crashed on disappointing news,
The ceo has a MBA from Southampton University -time it was put into action!!

without management changes the share price will drop further in my view. No support whatsoever. Very poor all round.The Chairman must step up to the plate here.
