Versarien Takeover Rumours (VRS)

sj - "It has to be said that VRS is a rare beast" This is true and why VRS is unique from other AIM companies is because it is on the cusp of a nascent industry that all super forecasters predict will take over the world. All other AIM companies are in mature industries, whether it be natural resources, software, financial services, construction, property, industrials, pharmaceuticals etc so it is virtually impossible for them to make their mark against bigger and more resourced players. VRS are into graphene and there are no graphene multinationals as such. There are multinationals in construction, industrials, textiles, software extra that will look to deploy graphene but there are no pure multinational graphene players that can steal VRS's business. This is why at this early stage I would bet on Dr Stephen Hodge and VRS.

sj - Exactly which means less dilution. However as I posted earlier although VRS has stated it needed further funding it may not necessarily come by way of a diluted discount placing. It would not have escaped the notice of larger players in the graphene arena that two of their IP patents have recently been put to commercial use and one with a Brazilian multinational. This is still early days for graphene and all major construction and industrial companies are interested in low carbon materials that are an improvement to what's currently on the market. Call me a ramping so and so but don't rule out a takeover for VRS due to its low market cap.

PW - an even dafter suggestion than usual. How is the Nomad going to let an entity gaining effective control of the company and obtaining a waiver from the Takeover Panel so it doesn't have to go further pass entirely without mention? We seem to have found someone with an even lower opinion of Nomads than the gerbil had ;¬) Scumbags!

coco, I'm wondering why Neill Ricketts hasn't made a takeover offer.

Haha takeover. I said years ago this is junk stock. They have nothing of value to take over.

Hopefully no takeover PW as long term holders would loose big time

2m purchase at 0.42p just after the bell. Somebody is collecting stock. Accuse me of ramping if you like but do not entirely rule out a takeover of VRS by one of the larger graphene players or the accumulation of a sizeable stake.
