Avanti Communications Share Discussion Threads

Looks to me that Williams walked on principle before the bond holders pillaged the company in a d4e swap.

That said there is some value upside here. Now that the balance sheet is manageable M&A is in the frame. I read in trade press There have now been three years of record Low new Satellite construction contracts because of the global industry slump. IF demand picks up a bit, other operators like Inmarsat (who already bought capacity from Avanti last year) might need to buy bulk capacity in a hurry. The share price could go to 50p on a bid.

A nice uptick on small at AVN - 8.97p paid for only a modest number, against full ask of 9p, 1128 hrs.

Likely to be a good reactor on any favourable newsflow.

JN:> and rns issued mid day when many are at lunch -or away for the Christmas break - very sneeky ??? I suspect when the Market wakes up (or Politically Incorrect - the Sh*t hits the fan) will react like HALO this morning - Do you have a short term downside target or straight to Carey Street ??

Avanti shares are essentially totally worthless now. Once a d for e swap comes its wipe out time.

I remember some idiot ramping this on the Northern Foods board about 3 to 4 years back when it was over 300p

I have called it down ever since

If they'd had "a slew of contracts", this would never have happened in the first place! I was in from H1 but sold out at a significant loss when it became apparent that sales were simply not coming in at the necessary or predicted rate.

The game has just changed, degree of uncertainty and risk has been reduced, more visability ahead for anyone wanting to get in after the restructure and ahead of launch imo. Its just a matter of timing an entry now.

Expect a slew of contracts ahead and after launch imo.

The next big debate is that we KNOW Inmarsat and others had an interest last year but the debt pile put them off. With that cleaned up, how long does it take someone to make an offer

[terryebby] 13/12/2017 07:54

absolutely, now it can afford to pay those bills and the equity coming in has $557m value leaving shareholders with value of $44m - could have been a worse outcome than 21p per share - 3oo% of the value of where we sit today

[shakyhands] 13/12/2017 02:13

The 550 million wasn't worth 550 million,because Avanti didn't have the ability to repay the debt -hence the need for a swap.

Sky TV breaking news of a massive equity issuance, with the debt pile debt cost to something like $200m and interest costs being slashed. Now the balance sheet becomes normal, the only question is who buys it: Inmarsat, Viasat, Echostar or Arabsat ? It won't take long. At this price is an obvious punt

If $550 million gets 92.5% of the company, the 7.5% remaining (160m shares) is worth $44.6m, of $0.275 per share, or 21p per share. Todays close was 6.75p per share. So this deal is pricing in an immediate 3x upside. Its going to fly in the morning

The UN pushing for broardband in africa as a human right. People demand going to force progress. Its inevitable now.

Covering half the world, one satalite.



Europe’s Ariane 5 rocket will launch the Hylas 4 and Intelsat 38 telecommunications satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit for operators Avanti Communications and Intelsat. Hylas 4, built by Orbital ATK, is high-throughput broadband communications satellites delivering 28 GHz of capacity via 66 fixed Ka-Band beams positioned over Africa and Europe with four steerable beams that can service additional markets in Africa and Latin America. The SS/L-built Intelsat 38 satellite will operate from 45° East to deliver Direct-to-Home television distribution and corporate networking services to Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

FFS kMann - wake up fella!!

You like others know the potential.

You have to remember, several years ago, the market was a different place technologically, also financial crisis was in full swing. The markets all about growth and recovery now. Mining and resource sector (african based) all flourishing. And Oil and gas obviously recovering.

All these things enabling the right environment to secure the basis for recovery here, timing with H4 launch.

Hylas4 has a minimum 19year life span. It also covers more locations, and has greater speed /bandwidth. And forms part of a global network. H4 is way ahead of the pack.

The share price is being manipulated, its clear to see ... for the these reasons
