I thought it might not be when only 12% was tendered, but then I read the other 88% is in the concert party. Not a holder here for a couple of year, but it is indeed a good result for long suffering PIs. I feared they might get crammed down with a poor outcome at some point. Reminds me a bit of PINR(?), the B shares of PIN, Pantheon International, that traded at a big spread and huge discount that were eventually tendered out. The trouble is one can wait years for the binary event when the money could be more actively employed. |
Delisting and a tender at 208.8p. Great result for the few who held on... |
Well done to those who stayed here as your patience has been rewarded. I sold about 3 years ago. |
Tipped by ST again in Investors Chronicke |
I am puzzled. ST tipped ARTL in Friday’s IC, but when I read his article and note no comment here, I wonder why no comment here. Are we talking about the same ompany? |
Sorry Andy -I sold out before this question. |
must surely be time to wind up this trust - around 86% of shares held by alpha real capital and concert parties. not much use charging hefty fees on a tiny sliver of shares owned by outsiders. |
Davebowler,
The dividend re-investment plan is a pretty good deal. Do you participate or do you take dividend in cash? |
RNS .....This will result in the issue of 371,175 new ordinary shares (approximately 0.6% of the current issued share capital). These shares will be issued at a price of 133.5 pence each |
Just checked that the cash proceeds of all my holding have come in. As I bought in 2016 I cannot complain too much at the exit price. PA is right to say that they were on the bsll say 4 years ago.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who decided to stay the course and their rationale for that.
In theory I will follow them but doubt if I will organize myself to do that. |
The 2014-15 to 2020 was the time I was invested...certainly not before 2014.
During this tine they moved in a very agile way from things like house ground rent to student accommodation and data centres....the deals were big and the cash flowed in.....then they stopped.
Bought a few in the 2020 downturn at c.150p and when I set up my new spreadsheet (5/11/2019) they were 185p
As I said , very good (actively managed) return 2015-2020 then nothing so very glad to be out. |
ARTL listed in Dec-2006 at 100p per share, vs 175p of the recent buyback.
So that's a 3.6% annualized return.
But the share price did bottom out at around 20p in 2009, so investor returns could be much higher. |
So very happy to be shot of this lot.
If I had got 60-70% away I would have sold the remainder at almost any price.
I really don't know the legal position but It is time for them to just buy the rest and have done with it.
I was looking at the long term chart and my first purchase a number of years ago...they were very good at what they did... for a number of years... but not now !! |
I'm happy to see 100% of my tendered shares were accepted.
I'm surprised so few independent shareholders tendered their shares.
I'm confident you can buy back the shares below 175p over the next few weeks. Over the next few days people will remember that ARTL has low income, high fees, & unfriendly managers. The share price should drop back down to the 130-160 range (first trade today was at 155p) |
Success all shares tendered will be paid out in full. Only disappointment is that the managers will earn more fees. |
Well done everybody who moaned about the lack of investment by artl over the last couple of years and the poor choice of loans. I think they should have offered 185p in view of the Indian money repatriation and obviously property values have started to go back up over the last year. It would be nice if they accepted all shares that are tendered perhaps with the major shareholders buying the balance of any shares over tendered. However one never knows perhaps a lot of holders are happy with the situation and all tendered shares will still be paid out. |
To be honest today was the type of day when I wanted any good news going and as a holder this is good news.
My reading is the following
The 80% of shares held by the concert party will not be tendered.
80% of the remaining shares will be tendered ie 16% of the total shares. There will be some who want to stick around, are asleep at the wheel or where mistakes are made.
Given the leisurely way they have done buy backs over the last year they had ample power to increase the tender offer but chose not to do so.
I will be tendering all my shares and so should expect to get under the above scenario 62.5% of my shares accepted at 175p.
Post tender the share price will drop back to 140/150p and one does not want to think about the bid/offered spread. The company would continue to buy back shares in the market place but given past form purchases would not be significant.
Is that how you folk see it??? |
ok go ahead |

BMO REIT (BREI) is changing its name to CT Property - possibly tomorrow.
Do you want to start a new thread? I'll do so if not. |
OK relatively speaking. It's still at a 19% discount and is obviously a great deal for the big shareholders who no doubt won't tender. |
Tremendous |
Not the most generous tender offer but certainly appreciated I suspect by most. Given the small free float I'll take 175p and run |
Simon Thompson seems to have a blind-spot about corporate governance. He was constantly tipping CIP where the investment managers had the old fashioned hedge fund remuneration of 2%/20%. CIP held plenty of cash, but was recently bought out in a general offer at a 29% discount!
ARIX too a Simon Thompson favourite in spite of appallingly inept management. |
Well its basically real estate assets and a pile of cash so it should outperform in this environment. The discount is 35% but excluding the large cash pile it's actually a lot more. They should do a tender offer like they have before. It's a bit of no brainer to do anything else when the shares are this low. The last one was at 15% discount so that would be about 185p |
