Guys and gals.
Comments below borrowed from the iii thread.

heards bits and pieces from the proposed plan for de-listing the company under a new name. The plan is to give equivalent of 1p per each share from ASG in the new company. The approximate breakdown can be seen below:

Existing shares of 160m at 1p will get shares in the value of £1,600,000
Give Creditors shares in the value of £4,000,000
Give Administrator Anthony Batty shares in the value £750,000
Give to a new investor shares in the value of £2,300,000

Can anyone tell me why they are giving shares to the Administrator equivalent of half the total value of the existing shares? Is this normal practice?

The market cap will be over £8m. My understanding is that the company will have no debt and will have £3m cash supplied by the new investor (RAM or NEO??).
Does this mean that total debt was £4m? How do you think the market will react? Do we have any other news please?

I would like to give an update on the proposed legal action too. There are 8 investors who showed interest. 2 of us are taking legal advise on our behalf but one of this two is not as keen as the other. I will definitely pursue this to get some compensation.

Shareholder 'shafting' already well factored into the price after NEO bought up a huge stake earlier this year. So there is some upside here. Guess its cheaper to buy a small company via continuous dilution rather than pay off all the small investors at 2p a share..... personally see it as slightly good news, as it shows there is still life in this dog.

investor relations from avanti are shocking to say the least, thats why i search other sources most mornings for news and post anything i can find and it does not suprise me anymore that i find news that should of been released via an rns, it does show that we have taken another step in the right direction even if the price does not reflect it at times.
Posted at 03/12/2008 09:02 by california joe
Reading that, I can't understand why an RNS was not released, quite major news that should be put to the market through official channels, don't they want new investors??????

I would expect a full update from Avanti very soon!

Placing Of Shares




Vision Media Group (International) plc (AIM:VMG), the outdoor media contractor, announces that it has successfully placed 9,523,806 new Ordinary Shares at 5.25 pence per share to existing institutional and other investors.




Further to the announcement of 28 May 2008, this fundraising releases the second and third tranches of funds from Trafalgar Capital Specialised Investment Fund. These tranches will deliver a further £1.2 million net to VMG of which the Group has received £250,000 so far.




All 9,523,806 new Ordinary Shares, which rank pari passu with the existing shares, are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 12 June 2008.




Following this notification, the total number of shares in issue will stand at 78,699,591.




Mike Cottman, Executive Chairman, said: 'This successful placing of new shares so soon after our share re-construction and the announcement of our intention to raise this new equity is testimony to investor belief in the growing strength of our business. The placing represents the final stage in our 18 month journey of re-structuring and re-financing and completes the financing intentions we announced in December, 2007. This stage of our turnaround is now complete. We can now look forward to developing our business and concentrating on delivering a profitable business for all our stakeholders. We have much to do in this regard and a host of opportunities ahead of us.'


"Like buying out ASG" LOL!!!!!

This post may be withdrawn

O/T - I've got to say that unfortunately there may be some truth in the
above. For someone who appears to have an unhealthy obsession with
so called "ramping" and pump and dumpers - Which in reality is what
Mms did to ASG last Friday ! ( Deliberately trapping private investors
into paying 11.5p to 12.5p for ASG, with there then being no significant
sells to offset volumes - they then dropped prices 33% earlier this week,
triggering so called "stop losses" (which are in fact losses !). In order
to get cheap shares back to sell on for more extortionate profit)

- These are snapshots of some "Dangerous Brian" posts on his own stock
held MES ! Not only could the same comments positively be directed and
mostly applied towards ASG ! - but the below strikes me as being somewhat hypocritical as in "ramping".. noting absense of even "IMO" or "DYOR"

- Either way the negativity that has been placed onto ASG this last week
in itself only helps MMs fleece private investors, as it breeds doubt and
worry - with there already being enough uncertainty in the markets !

- The below comments being fine for DB when talking about MES, but on
ASG which he doesn't even hold (!) - People making similar positive comments
to the ones below have been slated. Whilst a negative stance in all fairness
has been maintained against ASG by DB.. (Funny how the head of Wins is
called Brian too.. lol)

- On 6 years experience I consider the below to all be Ramping..

Dangerous Brian - 3 Sep'07 - 10:17 - 433 of 465

There's potential here.

Market cap of 2.5million, cash 1.25 million after this deal and before any cashburn and then the recent deal in Thailand which they hope to generate instant earnings, todays volume is low but picking up but it's the same everywhere else.


(SIMILAR APPLIES TO ASG..)

Dangerous Brian - 11 Sep'07 - 11:10 - 450 of 465

Well if some of the largest telecom providers are wanting to sign up Mes for their technology what does that tell you.

(- SAME COULD BE SAID ABOUT ASG: - MARKS AND SPENCER, NHS, BOOTS, SAINSBURY, TESCO - But when mentioned DB has called the same Ramping !)


Dangerous Brian - 10 Sep'07 - 12:34 - 439 of 465

This company is making some very nice deals and the market cap is still
just around 2.5 million, forget Advfn's because as normal it's way out but
this is looking cheap and there's no worries about any need to raise cash
because they've already done that bit and also got the 350k from last week's
RNS !

I'm off out now, think this stock is due some sort of re-rating.


(SAME APPLIES TO ASG - NO WORRIES ABOUT CASH !)


Dangerous Brian - 10 Sep'07 - 18:04 - 441 of 465

..The potential is huge with this deal and the recent one in Thailand.

(- BUT TO ME BEST OF ALL:-)

Dangerous Brian - 10 Sep'07 - 23:10 - 446 of 465

3 very good Rns's in 2 months suggest this company is going places.

- YES THE SAME APPLIES TO ASG AS WELL ! SO PLEASE DESIST WITH
THE NEGATIVE SLANTS LIKE SUGGESTING KAUP HAVE AN OVERHANG
OF 1-2 MILLION.. (If 200k net or more were bought, the share price would rise to 10p+)

- MMs were selling plenty of shares last week to private investors at 11.5p
to 12.5p when it suited them. Yet on very low sells, they axe prices to 8.5p
earlier this week, taking in so called "stop losses !" (a.n.other broker scam)

- The recent attacks on so called "ramping" is just another MM scam imv
for ripping off private investors. The whole markets being riddled with
corruption and remaining entirely one sided towards MMs and their profits

Placing of new Ordinary Shares and issue of Convertible Unsecured Loans
to raise approximately £885,000
Dealings by Directors

The Company announced on 21 September 2007 that it had raised a minimum of
£680,000 by way of a convertible loan and a conditional placing of new Ordinary
Shares. The Board of Avanti is pleased to announce that it has raised a total
of £785,485. Charles Stanley Securities and Seymour Pierce have, on behalf of
the Company, completed a conditional placing of 6,578,366 new Ordinary Shares of
1p each at a price of 7 pence per Placing Share with institutional and other
investors to raise approximately £460,485. The Board is also pleased to
announce that it has secured a further £325,000 through CULs, in addition to the
£100,000 announced on 4 September 2007. The Placing is conditional, inter alia,
upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval of certain resolutions at an
extraordinary general meeting to be held on 18 October 2007.

The EGM to approve the terms of the Placing and to authorise the issue of new
Ordinary Shares to satisfy conversion of the CULs will be held on 18 October
2007. Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM is expected on 19
October 2007.

The announcement of 21 September 2007 followed a trading update issued by the
Company on 6 August 2007 stating that, following a difficult trading period
immediately following the demerger, management had refocused the business and
was implementing a revised business strategy and as a result that trading was
showing signs of improvement. However, the Board also announced that the
previous poor trading and the costs associated with the implementation of the
new business strategy had an adverse effect on the Company's cash resources
which required the Company to urgently seek additional funding for the business.

On 4 September 2007 the Company announced that it had entered into a 10%
Convertible Loan Agreement to raise £100,000 which is to be repaid or converted
on or before 3 March 2008. The conversion of the CUL is subject to obtaining
shareholder approval at an EGM, details of which are set out below.

The Company also announced that the Company's cash position had improved,
although the Board is continuing to seek further funding to meet the Company's
working capital requirement and for continuing development of the business.


Current Trading and Prospects

Simon Rees was appointed to the Board as Chief Executive on 18 June 2007 since
when he has overseen the implementation of a new strategy for Avanti. This has
involved; the reduction of costs across the Company; a shift in resource to
frontline sales and marketing; the establishment of a local advertising sales
team and the favourable renegotiation and extension of existing client
contracts. While the Board is confident that the successful implementation of
this strategy will deliver long-term growth for Avanti and its Shareholders, the
short term prospects are dependent upon a number of factors, prevailing general
economic conditions and securing sufficient working capital for the Company's
present requirements, and for the on-going development and expansion of the
business.

Earlier this month the Company announced that it has signed a deal with
Electronic Health Media ('EHM') Limited to offer patient information and
advertising on screens in walk-in health centres, hospitals and GP surgeries
throughout England. The network provides health service professionals with a
communications platform for patient information, together with local and
national advertising. The contract initially extends to 130 sites, which EHM
expect to expand to over 200 by December 2007. Avanti anticipates that this
contract will generate gross local advertising revenues of between £500,000 and
£1.0 million in the next 12 months.

Avanti has also announced that it has extended its current three year contract
with its largest client, The Mall Corporation, for a further 3 years through to
2011. The Mall Corporation currently owns and operates 23 shopping malls
nationwide.

The Board has also announced that advertising sales across the Company are
performing strongly. Booked (gross) advertising sales in the first two months
of the current financial year exceeded those achieved for the entire 12 months
to 30 June 2007.


Funding

The Board has been seeking to secure short term-funding since the trading
statement of 6 August, and continues to explore potential sources of additional
finance to take advantage of certain new opportunities to support the
development of the business. This includes potential acquisitions which
complement the Company's strategy for growth and consolidation of the
screenmedia sector.


Convertible Unsecured Loan Agreements

The Board announced on 4 September 2007 that the Company had entered into a
Convertible Unsecured Loan Agreement to raise £100,000 before expenses. The CUL
carries an interest rate of 10% percent per annum and is due to be repaid or
converted at a conversion price of 2.0p per share on or before 3 March 2008. If
fully converted, the CUL will require the issue of 5.0 million new Ordinary
Shares, equivalent to 10.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital.

The announcement on 21 September 2007 stated that that the Company had entered
into further Convertible Unsecured Loan Agreements to raise £325,000 which
include £25,000 from Mick Desmond, £75,000 from Gary Truman and £25,000 from
Simon Rees, the Chairman, Finance Director and Chief Executive of the Company
respectively. The CULs carry an interest rate of 10% percent per annum and are
due to be repaid or converted at a conversion price of 8.375p per Ordinary Share
on or before 21 March 2008. If fully converted, these CULs will require the
issue of 3.88 million new Ordinary Shares, equivalent to 8.3% of the Enlarged
Share Capital.

The resolutions proposed at the EGM provide the Board with authority to issue
the new Ordinary Shares pursuant to such conversion of the CULs.


Placing of new Ordinary Shares

The Company requires to raise a minimum of a further £400,000 to provide
sufficient cash resources to meet the Company's immediate working capital
requirements. In the opinion of the Directors the optimum level of further
funding to meet all working capital requirements of the business for the next
twelve months is £1.25 million. The Company is proposing to raise £460,486 by
way of a Placing at 7.0 pence per Placing Share. The Placing Price represents a
discount of approximately 33.3 per cent. to the closing mid market price of the
Ordinary Shares on 20 September 2007 (the date prior to the announcement of the
Placing).

Charles Stanley and Seymour Pierce have placed 6,578,366 Placing Shares at a
price of 7.0 pence per Placing Share with certain institutional and other
investors to raise £460,486. The Company is also seeking authority to place up
to a further 5.4 million new Ordinary Shares which will raise up to a further
£376,000 at the Placing Price.

The Placing and the Proposed Placing are conditional on the passing of the
Resolutions and the Placing is conditional on Admission. The Placing and the
Proposed Placing are not being underwritten.

The Placing Shares and the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Proposed Placing are not being offered generally to Shareholders, whether on a
pre-emptive basis or otherwise. The Directors believe that the additional cost
and delay which a rights issue or open offer would entail would not be in the
best interests of the Company in the circumstances.

The Placing Shares and the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Proposed Placing will rank equally in all respects with the existing Ordinary
Shares.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM. Subject to Admission becoming effective, it is
expected that dealing in such Placing Shares will commence on 19 October 2007.

In order to issue the new Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the
CULs, to undertake the Placing and the Proposed Placing, the Board of the
Company is now seeking Shareholders' approval at an EGM to increase the
Company's authorised share capital and to authorise the Directors to allot a
number of Ordinary Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis pursuant to sections 80 and
95 of the Companies Act 1985.

In the event that the CULs are converted in full and the Company issues all of
the new Ordinary Shares for which it is seeking authority at the EGM in relation
to the Placing and the Proposed Placing, the Company will be required to issue a
total of 20,842,293, new Ordinary Shares which will represent approximately
44.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital. In the event that all of the new Ordinary
Shares for which Shareholders' authority is being sought the Enlarged Share
Capital will be 46,650,000 Ordinary Shares.



Share Options

Gary Truman has today exercised options over 73,602 ordinary shares representing
0.2 per cent of the current issued share capital at an option price of 1 pence
per share. Details of Mr Truman's shareholding, including potential conversion
of his CUL to the Company, are set out in paragraph 2 of Additional Information
below. Application will be made for these new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to
trading on AIM, which is expected to be on 19 October 2007.



Directors and other interests

Following the Placing and upon conversion of the CULS the interest of the
Directors in the share capital of the Company (as at 24 September 2007 being the
latest practicable date prior to this announcement) will be:


Director Number of Percentage of Number of Ordinary Percentage of
Ordinary Shares existing issued share Shares following enlarged issued
capital completion of the ordinary share

The Directors are aware of the following interests, other than those of the
Directors', held directly or indirectly in 3 per cent. or more of the issued
share capital of the Company (as at 24 September 2007 being the latest
practicable date prior to this announcement):

D Bestwick 1,000,840 3.9% 1,000,840 2.4%



Extraordinary General Meeting

By way of further background and explanation, before the Placing and the
Proposed Placing can proceed and the CULs can be converted a number of new
Ordinary Shares need to be created. After taking into consideration the
anticipated terms of the Placing and the Proposed Placing, the Company's
obligations in accordance with the CULs and certain share options granted to its
employees and officers, the Company's likely future requirements and the
Company's current share price, the Board of the Company have recommended that
10,000,000 new Ordinary Shares be created. This would increase the Company's
authorised share capital by £100,000 to £500,000. The first Resolution approves
this increase.

Following the creation of the new Ordinary Shares, the second and third
Resolutions empower the Directors to allot equity shares for cash (other than in
accordance with the statutory pre-emption rights which require a company to
offer all allotments of equity shares for cash first to existing shareholders in
proportion to their holdings), in connection with the CULs, the Placing, the
Proposed Placing, any rights issue and otherwise in respect of a further
2,332,500 Ordinary Shares. Unless renewed, revoked, varied or extended, this
authority will expire at the end of 15 months from the date of passing of the
Resolutions or at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2008 of the Company,
whichever is the earlier.



Directors' Recommendation

As set out above, Michel Desmond, Simon Rees and Gary Truman have entered into
CULs and as such are considered to be related parties for the purpose of
considering and providing a recommendation to Shareholders. The Independent
Directors, comprising Stuart Chambers, John Brackenbury CBE and Richard Vos
consider, having consulted with Charles Stanley, that the terms of the CULs
entered into by the Company with certain of the Directors are fair and
reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.

The Independent Directors are of the opinion that the issue of new Ordinary
Shares on conversion of the CULs, the Placing and the Proposed Placing which are
subject to the passing the Resolutions at the EGM are in the best interests of
the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Independent
Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the
Resolutions at the EGM as they intend to do in respect of their own Ordinary
Shares representing approximately 1.56 per cent of the current issued share
capital.
