Arcelor "buy"

Friday, June 03, 2005 8:26:28 AM ET
Ibersecurities


LONDON, June 3 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Ibersecurities maintain their "buy" rating on Arcelor (ARR.ETR). The target price is set to €20.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company has increased its stake in CST to 70%, after acquiring minority stakes. According to Ibersecurities, the increase in stake is likely to enable Arcelor to merge LOR's various activities in Brazil. The development is unlikely to have any impact on the company's share price, the analysts say.

[sdavis] 03/6/2005 17:31

Could not have hoped for better: very pleased.

They may like to give us some news flow on contract wins in the near future which will send share price up fast!

[rcktmn] 03/6/2005 16:09

Yep.. i think it's just about good news. The big loss and equity raising was expected..however, there is a lot to look forward to and looks like more deals to come through as well. I reckon share price will head north... slowly but surely! (imho)
I'm staying in for the time being..

[fatgreek] 03/6/2005 15:38

ARC Risk Management Group plc

Placing and Additional Listing

ARC Risk Management Group plc (the "Group"), the AIM-listed provider of security
risk management and training services, announces that it has completed a
fundraising of #320,000 (before expenses) through a Placing with Directors and
other investors of 32,000,000 new ordinary shares at 1p per share.

The monies raised will enable the Group to build momentum in the personal
security marketplace through its Red24 product to achieve market leadership.

The past six months have seen a step change in customer demand driven by a need
for greater personal protection. As a result revenues from Red24 have more than
trebled in the year and since the year end a major insurance broker has
contracted to include membership, on a mandatory basis, in all their travel
policies, which will give the Group over 100,000 additional members in the next
year. In addition, World Nomads, the travel insurance provider to the Lonely
Planet series of guidebooks, will also be including membership within their
package.

A key feature of the Red24 service is that it lends itself to tailoring to meet
potential customers' own security concerns. As a result, in the United Kingdom,
where identity theft is perceived as a major and growing problem by both
individuals and financial institutions, a new product called IDimposter has been
developed which provides advice to members both on how to avoid becoming a
victim and also advice on what to do if the worst should happen. This has struck
a chord with financial institutions and it is expected that IDimposter will be
included in the premier/platinum account of a major institution shortly. This
will take the number of members to well in excess of 500,000 and ensure that the
Red24 growth path is sustained.

Application has been made for the 32,000,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted
to trading on AIM and admission is expected to occur on 9 June 2005.

Under the terms of the placing, a warrant to subscribe for 1 new ordinary share
will be issued for every 2 shares taken up in the placing. The warrants will be
exercisable at any time up to 31 March 2008 at a price of 1p per share.

In the Placing, the Directors have subscribed for new ordinary shares as
follows:


Director No. of placing New % of issued share
shares shareholding capital after the placing

Simon Richards 900,000 1,450,000 0.48%
John Mocatta 1,000,000 1,500,000 0.49%
Simon Wakeling 1,000,000 7,559,833 2.49%
Mal Worsley-Tonks 500,000 1,500,000 0.49%


In addition, Sidebell Ltd (a company in which Simon Richards has an interest)
has subscribed for 7,500,000 new ordinary shares, thereby increasing its
shareholding to 47,692,500 ordinary shares representing 15.73% of the issued
share capital after the placing.

Simon Richards, Executive Chairman, commented:

"We are pleased at the ongoing support and belief from our key investors who
recognise that ARC has turned a corner in its commercialisation plans. The new
group structure, as alluded to in today's final results statement, has yielded
tangible results with a significant change in Group revenue growth and we look
forward to the future with increasing optimism."
