No rumours

[farmergeorge] 25/4/2024 13:27

Yes, I've noticed, Is there any tangible news?

[oneillshaun] 25/4/2024 13:01

Some nice activity

[northwards] 24/4/2024 21:26

20m US just been paid and another 10m in 5 months. Numbers around the ongoing US business will be interesting, and hopefully digestible as a single business entity.

If this company had any intention of continuing it wouldn't have sold its Europe and Canada assets. Let's hope it is kindly put to sleep soon. Three 200k trades today, all look like buys.

[farmergeorge] 24/4/2024 14:02

Fingers crossed for positive news. We are growing old and poor waiting for this.

[oneillshaun] 24/4/2024 13:28

Did I miss read, if I recall correctly it was full year would be released in April.Well no excuses for May plenty of time to figure out how little shareholders will be getting back, I predict 2p per share.

appreciate everyone will have see the RNS but pleasantly surprised to actually receive a response to an e mail from XLM this morning ....

Thank you for your email regarding XLMedia plc.

I believe you will have already received an alert directly, but I can confirm the Company has today announced it will be publishing results for the year ended 31 December 2023 on Friday 17 May 2024.

Full details can be found in this morning's announcement, which can be viewed here:

Kind regards,
Fiona

On behalf of XLMedia plc

Results due by end April I hear. Not sure we'll get much special divided clarity. Perhaps that adds to the entire sell rumours.

[oneillshaun] 23/4/2024 13:18

Daniel My employment with XL was many years ago now and the company was very different, that was the time when they paid dividends.But I agree that it will all be sold very soon and predicted 20p tops.

[danieldruff2] 22/4/2024 18:02

Looking at the sequence of RNS over the last year, it looks like the major shareholder wants the business sold. Past RNS gives the impression they had a try and found that a US acquirer would not want the non-US assets, which have now gone. I reckon they are going to sell the lot this year, and it wouldn't surprise me at all in they are in talks right now. So tell us Shaun, as an ex-employee, what is your view on a good takeout price from here?

[oneillshaun] 22/4/2024 11:05

Tick tok.....1 month since the big news and no update the hope that XL media would stop treating shareholders like mushrooms was just wishful thinking.Let hope for the full year update is positive others this will be sub 10p again in no time.

[ando218] 15/4/2024 16:30

Although I'd usually agree, changing the reporting structure and splitting the accounts takes some time. Also, they must navigate the transition of assets and finish plans on rightsizing the overhead costs and ideally take the opportunity to show the value of the US business. This is not the usual full year report. I guess it will be more end of the month or early May. However, they should communicate this to the market and set a date.

[oneillshaun] 15/4/2024 08:55

Management are dragging this one out, let's see what they can do absolutely destroy the share price one again, 100% I feel bad news is on the horizon

[farmergeorge] 12/4/2024 18:52

melloteam, did anything concrete on XLM emerge in the meeting? Thanks.

[mspehn] 10/4/2024 15:55

Use the funds to buy shares and expand if management believes in business.

[northwards] 10/4/2024 09:58

Results now end of month I believe.

[oneillshaun] 09/4/2024 07:49

Maybe they could use a chunk of the 1 to did a buyback, let's see it should be an update soon

[northwards] 06/4/2024 11:51

A certain tip sheet is suggesting 5m US for tax. Add in 4m for final earn out and 2m for transition costs (confirmed by company),that leaves 26m US net. My view is a 15m US special divi is not out of the question ... about 4p per share.

[northwards] 04/4/2024 21:34

4m final earn out, 2m transition costs, say 3m tax liabilities. Surely there is 5-10m US out of 37m to return to shareholders ?

[oneillshaun] 04/4/2024 08:43

I think most of the recent buying is because people are hoping to get a special dividend, oh the days of the XL dividend how I miss them.

[km85] 03/4/2024 22:31

Returning cash to shareholders could be either buy back, div, or both. So it could be either way.

[northwards] 03/4/2024 21:10

It will be via a divi is my understanding.

[km85] 03/4/2024 15:42

Well if they buy a big chunk of shares at good rate then investors will be super happy. If the market cap at 32m pound, and they manage to buy 20% of shares and they think the USA assets worth double than the market cap then buying back shares make sense.
