Posted at 18/12/2007 18:13 by kegs-on-legs Sorry, just found out they are.Arthur Trueger is the chairman of Berkeley Technology Limited, a venture capital company that he helped found. Berkeley Technology Limited operates in the UK and the US. The US subsidiary is the Berkeley International Capital Corporation, and is located in San Francisco. Berkeley has been a major investor in the technology industry for over twenty years. |
Posted at 17/1/2007 23:41 by doniv "January 21, 2002- Alacritech®, Inc., the innovator of accelerator solutions that enable fast and efficient servers and storage systems, today announced the completion of its Series C financing. Led by returning venture capital investor Berkeley International Capital Corporation, the $13 million round also includes Munder Capital Management, Needham Capital Partners and Quantum Technology Ventures. This round brings the total investment in Alacritech to more than $35 million, demonstrating the confidence investors have in Alacritech's continued leadership position with innovative TCP acceleration solutions for networked storage." THERE WERE NO FURTHER FINANCING ROUNDS. According to FBR in their Sept 26, 2000 Research Brief, BEK (as LPG) had already then invested $10m in Alacritech (and $19.5m in Ceon). They led the Series C round, so they must have invested about $12.5m ......a 35% stake or am I wrong, Adam? |
Posted at 09/9/2005 07:24 by fireball xl5 Agility Snares Another $15M MARCH 09, 2005 ANAHEIM, Calif. OFC/NFOEC 2005 Tunable Lasers are on a roll, as Agility Communications Inc. has completed a fifth round of funding worth $15 million. This follows the roughly $6 million raised in December by Swedish tunable laser firm Syntune AB and an unspecified but small round recently raised by Iolon Inc. (see Syntune Raises 4.7M and Iolon's Alright ). Agility's fifth round hasn't been announced publicly but is highlighted in a presentation at the company's Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) booth here. The financing came through earlier this year, says Kevin Affolter, Agility's vice president of marketing. Affolter says the $15 million came from some new investors as well as previous Agility investors. The latter pool includes, among others, General Motors Investment Corp., London Pacific Assurance Ltd. (NOTE LPAL), Meritech Capital Partners, Mitsubishi International Corp., Morgenthaler, Nissho Electronics Corp., Siemens Venture Capital, U.S. Venture Partners, and WorldView Technology Partners. Equipment vendors Ciena Corp. (Nasdaq: CIEN - message board) and Tellabs Inc. (Nasdaq: TLAB - message board; Frankfurt: BTLA) were also prior investors in Agility. Agility has now raised more than $200 million including a massive round in 2001 (see Agility Gets $83M Third Round). The size of that round shows just how much faith investors had in tunable lasers, even as it was clear that the dotcom bubble was over. Agility and Iolon, the sector's stars, each appeared headed for an IPO or acquisition. But the market continued its collapse, and demand for tunable lasers got delayed. Agility and Iolon, in particular, have been relatively quiet since, occasionally raising their voices to fend off rumors of near death (see Agility Is Alright, Too). The new funding rounds might indicate that tunable lasers have finally stabilized as a business. Iolon expects to be profitable "by the end of the year," says John Aengus, the company's vice president of sales. But he adds that every vendor -- including Iolon, Bookham Inc. (Nasdaq: BKHM - message board; London: BHM), and Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC - message board) -- is losing money on tunable lasers. Even so, tunable lasers are ensconced now that DWDM equipment vendors have embraced the technology. "You can tell it's starting to be a real business. People are looking at the next step -- an integrated transmitter" that combines the tunable laser with a modulator, says Gurinder Parhar, vice president of business development for tunables vendor Santur Corp. (For those wondering, Santur's latest announced funding came at the end of 2003 -- see Santur Tunes In $10M). Parhar expects many companies will seek partners to provide the modulator. Agility, though, says it's been working on integrating the laser and modulator onto the same indium phosphide (InP) device. The idea would be to lower cost, not just by providing an integrated device, but by putting the modulator onto InP in the first place. "One of the most expensive pieces [of an optical module] is the lithium niobate (LiNbO3) modulator," Affolter says. The integrated laser-modulator is "about a year or so from availability," he notes. - Craig Matsumoto, Senior Editor, Light Reading |
Posted at 29/3/2004 21:14 by hugepants I did note that the finals did state NAV of 69 cents per share which could only be derived using 51M shares in issue, not 64M. However this is not very clear to your average idiot investor. Anyway Im sure you are correct and have done due diligence since you have a notifiable stake. cheers. |
Posted at 12/2/2004 10:34 by stewjames rivaldo, he's often not a particularly active activist investor. |
Posted at 12/2/2004 08:11 by rivaldo Thx cjatt0001 - that was sneaked out late last night! So what are peeps experiences with Gyllenhammar - as an activist investor I can't imagine he'll be hanging around doing nothing for very long?"Berkeley Technology Limited ('the Company') was advised yesterday by Peter Gyllenhammar that following the acquisition of 1,100,000 shares of the Company on 10 February 2004 by Erudite UK Limited, a company wholly owned by Mr Gyllenhammar and given Mr Gyllenhammar's interest in The Union Discount Company of London Limited, which already owns 2,050,000 ordinary shares in the Company, Mr Gyllenhammar is now interested in a total of 3,150,000 shares or 4.9% of the Company's current issued share capital." |

Posted at 20/11/2003 13:17 by philut Citywire article -"The Swedish activist Peter Gyllenhammar has taken a stake in venture capital and life insurance firm Berkeley Technology. Gyllenhammar has surfaced with a 3.2% share stake in £9.5 million Berkeley (BEK) taken through the Union Discount Company. Gyllenhammar took control of Union when he bought Montpellier Group's investment division in September this year. Berkeley, which until July was known as London Pacific Group, has sold off a number of its businesses to reduce debt and is working on plans to take advantage of signs of a revival in the market for initial public offerings (IPOs). Chief executive Ian Whitehead told Citywire: 'We do have a strong reputation in the venture capital market place but at this stage we're just in the process of developing a strategy.' The company specialises in high tech, early stage investment in the US and was an early backer of AOL. However, markets have not been kind to the group and the shares have plummeted from a 2000 £19.38 high to the current price of just 15p. Disposals earlier this year helped get Berkeley's house in order and at the end of September the company had net assets of US$ 31.9 million (£18.8 million). This gave a book value per share of 63 cents (37p). Some of the group's capital is tied up in its offshore insurance business. Berkeley is not writing new policies at the moment and has liabilities to existing policy holders of £29.3 million. Berkeley is keen to use its reputation in the high tech world in the US to take advantage of what management believes is a resurgence in the IPO market. Given that management controls about 50% of the company's shares it looks as though Gyllenhammar, who often takes an activist stance, might have to stay in line. The activist Swede is likely to have been drawn to Berkeley by the 59.5% discount the shares trade at compared with book value of its assets. However, the future of the group is uncertain.Management hopes that in the coming months it will come up with a strategy to exploit its venture capital expertise and the resurgent IPO market in the US. However a recovery in the IPO market is still shaky and Berkeley's listed and unlisted investments have not fared well over recent years. Investors who follow Gyllenhammar's lead should keep a close eye on the stock." |
Posted at 08/10/2003 12:37 by rivaldo LOL Mart - bang on!! I'm also in PDT, but a little suspicious about NOI and JIT so holding off.BEK doing it's usual down in the morning - will USA investors come and provide the usual afternoon pick-up? I noticed yesterday there was a bit of volume in the States for no obvious reason. Come on Alacritech - let's see some IPO action! |
