Is anyone here invested in MEDU? doesn't seem to be much interest compared to other biotech shares (SAR,PYC,SUMM, VAL etc) but the share looks to have fantastic potential.

Great news for shareholders but what should they do now?

Price seems to have stabilised at 28p, with a sell price available at 27.5p, i.e. around 8% below the 30p offer. Should holders:

i) sell.
ii) hold

The following outlines the timetable from this morning's RNS:


"15.2 Anticipated Timetable

Bionostics anticipates that it will despatch the Scheme Document to Bionostics
Shareholders and, for information only, to holders of options granted under the
Bionostics Share Schemes on or about 15 December 2007, but in any event within
the next 28 days (or such later date as may be agreed with the Panel); that the
Court Meeting and EGM will take place during January 2008; and subject to the
Scheme becoming unconditional and effective in accordance with its terms, the
Effective Date will occur at the end of January 2008. The timing of events which
relate to the implementation of the Scheme is, however, subject to the approval
of the Court and is therefore subject to change. A full anticipated timetable
will be set out in the Scheme Document.

If the Proposals do not become effective by 29 February 2008, the Proposals will
lapse except where the approval of Bionostics Shareholders at the Court Meeting
and the EGM is obtained before this date, in which case the longstop date for
the Proposals may be extended to such later date as NAV Bidco and Bionostics may
agree and, if appropriate, the Court may approve."


The market is discounting 8% of value due to the uncertainty of the deal going through between now and end February; i.e. attributing an 8% chance of it fallling through. All Bio directors have signed up to the proposal, as have NAV and Mannheim Holdings, who have 10.3% of share capital.

Mannheim have stated that their "irrevocable undertaking will only lapse if a
competing offer is made for the entire issued share capital of Bionostics which
exceeds the value of the Offer by ten per cent. or more."


So, what chance a counterbid by a third party?

This share never ceases to amaze. It is on the radar of only a few investors, ignored by the rest. In some ways not surprising, with a market cap of a mere £7m and a chart that looks horrendous.
Indeed it has never caught the imagination in the way that some small caps have (remember RTD?). When I started the first BIO thread (and I originally got in back in January at 23p) there would be a couple of posts a week, if that. But what is surprising is that the share price is now languishing at 14.5p, given the fact that there are still ongoing talks which might lead to an offer of 30p and that, aside from the bid element, the fundamentals of the company offer hope for the future. With a new CEO with a turn-around track record brought in last year, the loss making divisions gone and two cash generative divisions left one would have expected the share price to have done more. Yes, there is the debt but, as has been pointed out before, hopefully the cash generative divisions will reduce this sharply.
Part of the problem lies, I believe, with the illiquidity of the share. A small cap already, most of the shares are held by institutions. NMS at the moment is 1500, and 5000 traded today would have cleared the order book. A pathetic amount. I have indeed found that it can be traded in much larger quantities, without moving the share price against the trader, but how many private investors have the knowledge or persuasive powers to go down that route?

Is this going to turn out to have been a good investment? Time will tell, but in the meantime we remain in the doldrums.

Something doesn't make sense to me.

This share has been drifting down for a while. If you really KNEW or were even confident of a buyout at 30p, you would let it drift down and top up. I can't believe you are so altruistic that you spread your news, knowing it may keep the share price up and deny you a chance yo buy at lower prices.

Some possibilities come to mind..

1)You are ramping, and shorting this on price increases because you know the buyout is not going ahead and ultimately expect a share price crash.
2) You know there is a buyout but share price drops, will lower the offer price, hence
you are trying to talk up the price
3) You don't know anything about the buyout, but you are seroiusly long in this stock and depressed at seeing your holding shrink in value, so you ramp

Well, it looks like the news is out! In today's Sunday Times:
"The activist fund management group North Atlantic Value is poised to launch a takeover bid for Bionostics valuing the medical diagnostics firm at about £15m.
According to bankers, North Atlantic, which is backed by a group of investors, is planning to bid 30p a share for Bionostics. The offer is a 30% premium to the share price of 23p on Friday. North Atlantic is already Bionostic's largest shareholder with a 26.76% stake held in four of the funds it manages. Bionostics shares have slumped by 85% since hitting 170p in 2004.
The group sold off its cardiac monitoring assets in June 2006 to Spacelabs Healthcare for £14m. However, in April Bionostics announced it had swung to a £490,000 loss for the first six months of the year against a profit of £536,000 a year earlier."
I spoke to the company earlier in the week and got a pretty strong hint that news (one way or the other) would be coming soon. The figure also coincides with the maximum price that N.Atlantic previously paid for the shares and what I thought the offer price would be. Interesting that there was a sharp drop in share price just before the conclusion of talks (if this turns out to be the case). I mentioned in a previous post the case of RTD where exactly the same thing happened: a sharp drop, designed to trigger stop losses and make shareholders think bad news was on the way, only to be followed by the announcement of successful conclusion of talks!
Ps I think the share price will rocket tomorrow.

On quite days, someone seems to be selling in lumps of 1250 and 750. - presumably the sells are something to do with North Atlantic Value. Been happening like this for months, even when the price was 22p. Result is that the share price drops a couple of pence. Usually, someone (like me) picks up a few thousand, and the share price returns to what it was. However, I've got enough in BIO.

Paul Hill reckons that BIO are worth 50p+ to an acquirer, since you save all the costs of listing on the LSE, plus all the directors and non-execs. However, usually people reckon a 40% uplift on the share price in the event of an acquisition, so suggests an share price of about 32. Yet the chairman has a bunch of options at 34p.

Folk do seem to be losing patience, so it will probably sink some more, before something happens.
