I held on to my shares in ASP and those shares are in a nominee account. I recently received a credit to my nominee account following a share capital reorganisation by ASP but my account manager has not told me the details of the reorganisation. Is anyone able to tell me just how the share capital of ASP has been reorganised, please?

Also does anyone have any up to date information on ASP, please?

I dumped most of mine at 0.18p which was after the offer. Personally Id take the 0.17p.

[balli1] 15/10/2003 11:29

Thanks guys, buys still going though over and above offer price of 0.17p !!!

May hold on to my 200K also

[dubberboy] 15/10/2003 09:31

balli i think he has you by the balls, you could ride it out and see what fruits you reap when he does do whatever he is planning to do,

Deadline is 10 a.m. 16th Oct to sell shares back to Mr aspinall. Is the general consensus to sell, the subject seems to have died a death on the BB.

[dubberboy] 30/9/2003 10:43

i would think they are taking the gamble that the company will immediatley be stripped and theyll get a better return as a private co

[justjus] 30/9/2003 00:37

haven't been asked yet!

[simonevans] 29/9/2003 22:07

Looking at the trades today - someone bought 0.5 million at .21p. why?

[simonevans] 29/9/2003 22:06

Yes, I've accepted. Still think the price looks odd though - can't understand who has been buying at above .17p!

[dubberboy] 29/9/2003 11:22

i take it everyone has accepted the offer???

[simonevans] 24/9/2003 21:35

Keelwalk have sold out of Your Space which has raised £.25m for them. I wonder whether they are considering a bid...pure speculation, but price still odd.

[simonevans] 23/9/2003 00:38

Still have a few days left to decide though. I'll hold-off until the weekend/Monday morning before posting back.

[dubberboy] 22/9/2003 10:53

i'm torn between accepting or holding a stake in a private co and seeing what they plan to do with it

[simonevans] 20/9/2003 09:37

Still buying of very small quantities at .2p. I guess we have to the 1 October to accept - guess it's a case of seeing if anything develops next week.

[simonevans] 16/9/2003 20:37

who is buying at .21p?? Keelwalk?

[simonevans] 16/9/2003 10:18

Keelwalk are a small property trader:

ARON MARC FREEDMAN PROPERTY AGENT
STEVEN PAUL SCHEINER PROPERTY TRADER
JOHN CHARLES WRIGHT CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT

These are the directors. I've not heard of them. Anyone else?

[simonevans] 15/9/2003 20:57

Keelwalk are hovering around a few AIM companies at the moment and have bought a stake in Your Space and Streetnames. Interesting...the game is not yet over imho!

[alecjm] 15/9/2003 13:46

Why would a broker buy at .2p, if they know that the offer price is .17p..???

is it possible that a second party is interested..?
