Brave Bison Share Discussion Threads

Clearly he did not want to work for an extended period under Claire`s authority,so i assume he choose to move on but with the good wishes of all involved. One must bear in mind the previous boardroom bust ups that I think will now have been resolved to one of the major stakeholders satisfaction. I expect her to bring new vitality to the business and expect to see rapid progress under her leadership.

I believe the boards expectations were modestly upbeat and bearing in mind they have obtained another major blue chip client, and progressed with the Studio and Slash Foot ball etc.it should be reasonable to expect a upbeat statement imo.

The trades may well have been related to these changes taking place but it is great news to hear that Claire Hungate is coming a month earlier than first announced. Giving up her holidays I expect,to get stuck in.

Curious, quite a few chunky trades.
All appear to be buys but no movement in the share price
Then Kevin Deeley,Financial Office resigns and
Claire Hungate's start is brought forward a month.
Were Management Expectations dismal or modestly upbeat.

Is this about to come to life Nextlink? A few more like that and one might see a holding news.

Three sizable trades yesterday.

Incredible number of views in just one week on several you tube videos from Rebel FC which is a venture BBSN is running:

[clocktower] 21/6/2017 11:11

A very good appointment announced today and a good statement at the AGM.

Might see a slow and steady recovery with the new CEO at the helm.

[clocktower] 13/6/2017 09:34

Incredible numbers of viewers on the "Calfreezy You Tube Channel" that is a now a venture with BBSN - If this is the sort of growth they are getting across the board, it is little wonder they would not strike a deal with ZIN.

This video was published just two days ago and it has already had almost 250k views.



Rebel FC with Rio Ferdinand - published 05.05.17 over 400k viewers to date.

So the ZIN can get no further striking a deal with BBSN - maybe BBSN wanted a bigger slice as the company has so many Blue Chip clients and cash, plus growth that is starting to get real traction.

[clocktower] 31/5/2017 16:26

The bid has been dropping and stock picked up and sold on by them as per several RNS.

Henderson Investment Management in concert with Zinc - looks like a deal might be getting near to conclusion imo.

Another 2m shares bought to add to the 2m buy last week.

Someone is very keen to hoover up these shares ahead of merger details.

[clocktower] 22/5/2017 21:30

My view is that it would pay the BoD to accept even the 2.5p that Nextlink has suggested as a lower figure, if KIN can put forward a plan that will turn those 2.5p into at least 10p in a very short time due to having merged the enterprises.

It is not important how much you paid for the stock, if someone can put forward a sound and probably plan to turn that investment into a even greater figure in as short as possible a time frame. Lets us hope they have got it right and they can do this, not concentrate only on the paper value now.

Still a great punt at current levels as I am of the view that it is very undervalued by the market due to its history and what occurred in the boardroom. Hence, KIN getting in on the act.

[bernymadoff] 22/5/2017 21:10

Bought these slightly on the spike after the merger rns last week.

Some cursory research suggests BBSN is undervalued given current cash position and revenues.

ZIN will have to put up something substantial in order to persuade BBSN bod to play ball. Yes the synergies are obvious but ZIN is relatively low on cash and BBSN is turning around nicely after the change of focus last year which means that it doesn't need to join forces.

I haven't got the foggiest about how much paper will need to be offered for the Bod to accept but given that many of them have invested heavily in the company at 5p recently I can't see it being below that figure.

The other attraction of this stock is the small free float. Most shares are tightly held having been bought at 5p and even way above that by the Bod and the liked of Invesco. This means that it moves fast on low volume.

Downside limited by company being turned around and new contracts with top tier companies such as Shell and Turkish Airlines being won.

Well worth a punt from these beaten down levels. Any good news should see a rapid rise in share price

Any offer by ZIN will have to be good considering we don't need to merge and that we're doing well in reducing costs and winning contracts.

I am no Accountant and I don't know how much progress either company
has made in their turnaround plans.
The following is a completely unfounded guess and no doubt
others will point out how wrong I am.
I'll say a paper offer will be higher than the current share price
Higher still if targets on growth are set.
So say 2.5 pence minimum to 5 pence maximum.

[clocktower] 22/5/2017 13:14

Nexttlink, I think they had already taken the necessary steps to halt the flow of outgoing cash and have since the start of the year moved forward considerably with their strategy and have gained another major client in Shell plus made other decisive moves in the industry. However,I do not think the Boardroom bust up was as serious as you suggest as the parties all remained on the board.

That said, I amin agreement with you that as long as Zinc accept that BBSN stakeholders receive a fair and reasonable paper offer that is slightly in their favour, everyone will WIN WIN in the longer term.

Where would you put the paper offer for BBSN stock at Nexttlink? What do you think would be fair and reasonable?

[euclid5] 22/5/2017 12:42

Plus BBSN had £7.1m cash as at 31 DEc 2016

[nextlink] 22/5/2017 12:12

As you say neither company has been anything other than loss making over recent years.
However the indications are that Zinc has finally turned the corner, accepting that
only with the next results can we be absolutely certain.
Regarding Brave Bison Group, what little I know suggests they are hemorrhaging cash
and have had a recent Boardroom Bustup.
Zinc is unlikely to have the cash to make a reasonable offer.
My view is that if Brave Bison Group's management can see things as they are,accepting they cannot continue as they are.
A paper offer from Zinc, with the advantage tilted slightly to Brave Bison Group's shareholders advantage may be acceptable.
Zinc can clearly see an opportunity on the right terms and it is easy to see where significant savings for the merged companies can be made.

[clocktower] 22/5/2017 11:02

No deal is better than a bad deal but the share price maybe where it is because of the uncertainty and the time it will take to haggle out the nuts and bolts while undertaking full due diligence. At present it does not seem that there is any certainty that ZIN will be able to pull off a deal that will satisfy BBSN holders, in fact it may have been a way of getting BBSN to swallow them, as neither has a great history but I am sure together with the resulting cost cutting they would form a strong and very profitable company.At this time though BBSN looks the much better growth prospect imo.

[euclid5] 22/5/2017 10:03

the Company also notifies that it has in issue unlisted 5% convertible loan notes representing a principal amount of GBP383,598.72, and subject to the terms and conditions of the loan note instrument, these notes are convertible into 2,131,104 new Ordinary Shares at 18 pence per share on or before 14 August 2017

[euclid5] 18/5/2017 20:38

The Group ended the year with £7.1 million in cash and cash equivalents

[nextlink] 18/5/2017 16:17

I hold ZIN, no BBSN, as you say let's hope they can strike a deal.

[clocktower] 18/5/2017 16:11

Agreed Nextlink but a merger would add considerable shareholder value imo. BBSN is however very undervalued based on the potential growth in the areas of media they have promoted. So I expect ZIN will have to provide a fair bit of paper to BBSN stakeholders to make this attractive but in the longer run will offer huge added value to ZIN - so win win for both side imo. Let us hope they can strike a good deal for all concerned.

[clocktower] 18/5/2017 14:29

Clearly some think there will not be an acceptable offer made to BBSN as the share price has returned to its opening bid/offer price. Maybe Zinc Media are undervaluing the business at the moment.

[clocktower] 18/5/2017 12:27

The news the RNS brings clearly has not been fully appreciated by many yet as the share price has a long way to go north regardless of Zinc possibly making an offer that is attractive bearing in mind the recent contract with Shell and the progress being made.

The price fell from around 5p when the board were not in agreement about selling - so I expect it will reach Stockdales Feb Target price and maybe higher fillipe.

Great day with LWRF so far.

Has any body got a copy of the press speculation?
