lol - PWhite - the best contrarian indicator on ADVFN - I'd be very concerned if he was positive on BIDS.

2Prsimo - "our first venture into growth by acquisition"

So called growth by 'Acquisitions' is the latest trick used to raise cash to pay bonuses and salaries. £300k don't make me bloody laugh. Did BIDS not have any malicious software protection in place before they bought Pubguard?.

Ah I see PWhite is here he had a taste of his own medicine recently I note.

[hazl] 01/8/2019 07:46

It all makes sense to me....haven't time today to read everybody's response but if it's well-known in the industry then advertisers will be reassured perhaps.

For all we know this could have been a precursor to EA getting involved with bids (a requirement of EA) certainly interesting development!

Welcome to the board PWhite!

Negativity flood gates have opened...

"our first venture into growth by acquisition" - hints at the possibility of more acquisitions to come in the future.

They have bought an enormously important piece of the puzzle for a steal, and its cost them nothing. This is a fantastic deal, with a company with important client. A stroke of brilliance. Is this a precursor for how well this team of champions perform, then the future bodes pretty well!!

as others have noted, the share price equivalent of 34.5 is a key indicator of how bidstack is being currently valued with information available to the pubguard directors to support their decision. May also explain the rise out of the recent range

The newsflow rich Q3/Q4 period has commenced. Demand side and supply side news to follow very soon IMO.

For reference, here's a link to Anzu's press release on their tie up to prevent ad fraud:

'We have worked with Pubguard for several years now and their product and service has been second to none. With Pubguard's tech, we've been able to ensure that our apps are safe from unsuitable ads as well as seeing real ROI. Being able to see the progress through Pubguard's dashboard has been very useful. From the post scan analytics, to being able to implement keyword blacklists – it has been particularly helpful in ensuring that brands are safe at all times.'Under Armour – Tauseef Raza

Shares at a premium - Bidstack dictate which broker/s they are sold through - good use of company funds - saves several months of time - a very smart bit of business.

Great spot DAFAD and under armor which would look GREAT on FM19 hoardings....

[moneygenxyz] 01/8/2019 07:25

MLF51 the latter is more important imo.

Derisks the offering to developers

It was a necessary evil so BIDS would have had to develop themselves this tech anyway.

JD if you are reading this, hats off. Continue to be shrewd and opportunistic!! Value add.

[dafad] 01/8/2019 07:24

Anyone notice that EA are pubguard clients

[mlf51] 01/8/2019 07:21

It will be interesting to see how the market will see this deal, taking on a loss making company, or filling a necessary security gap on the cheap.

[affc21] 01/8/2019 07:21

Did not expect that news at this stage of there growth, but having said that it is a perfect fit...

[snoopy12] 01/8/2019 07:14

This is how business is done and should be done. Extracting maximum value at negligible cost, no fundraise , no dilution more commitment to drive the share price forward.The 34.5p per share will probably be worth £1.34 in twelve months time.

[ayl30] 01/8/2019 07:12

Being loss making danger of going under? At least this way they keep their jobs and payment in kind is a good bet if they believe BIDS growth story

[dafad] 01/8/2019 07:10

Preimium and lock in period ,great company

The consideration for the transaction of GBP300,000 will be entirely satisfied by the issue and allotment of 869,565 Bidstack ordinary shares credited as fully paid at a price of 34.5 pence per share ("Consideration Shares").

Each of Justin Wenczka, Chris Damski, Dan Hapgood and Andrew Stevens have agreed not to sell any of their Consideration Shares for twelve months following completion save in certain limited circumstances and for the following twelve months to sell their shares only through a broker nominated by the Company. Mercia has agreed not to sell any of its funds' Consideration Shares for six months following completion save in certain limited circumstances.

All share transaction. Wonder why they wanted the shares? Nice.
