Posted at 25/9/2011 07:18 by bbd2 Coolabi approached by North PromotionsBy David Blackwell Bagpuss, the cloth cat made famous by a TV series, may be about to take up a new career as a rock star. Coolabi, the Aim-quoted media company that owns Bagpuss along with Ivor the Engine and more modern children's characters, has received a takeover approach at 7¾p a share, valuing the equity at £4.3m ($6.8m). The potential buyer is North Promotions, a company funded by Edge Performance Venture Capital Trust, which is already Coolabi's biggest shareholder, with a 17 per cent stake. The Edge VCT board includes Michael Eaton and Frank Presland, managers respectively of Eric Clapton and Elton John. Harvey Goldsmith, the Live Aid impresario, is a director of Edge Investment Management. People close to the situation said Jeremy Banks, chief executive of Coolabi, was connected to the approach. North Promotions said it attached "great importance to the skills and experience of the existing Coolabi management", but reserved the right to make a lower offer. Coolabi, which has reported losses for the past five years, announced a fall in revenues from £960,000 to £610,000 for the first half to June 30, and higher pre-tax loss of £605,000. The company, which has net debt of £1.35m, expects the annual results to be heavily weighted to the second half. "There is still much to do in order to realise management's expectations for the full year, particularly in the light of current trading conditions," said William Harris, chairman. |
Posted at 21/9/2011 06:13 by moosh2 in all fairness though, COO doesn't control MM share price movement and PI gusto in buying something on momentum so 7.75p, as someone said yesterday, was a premium to the pre-offer share price if the fundamentals hadn't changed since the bid offer then why pay more based on wot PIs are buying to move the share price if the books don't match up? |
Posted at 15/8/2011 09:08 by moreforus Response to Press SpeculationTIDMCOO TIDMEDGC RNS Number : 3535M Coolabi PLC 15 August 2011 Coolabi plc ("Coolabi" or the "Company") Response to Press Speculation Further to the announcement on 9 August 2011 and recent press speculation, Coolabi confirms that it has received an approach from North Promotions Limited, a company funded by Edge Performance VCT plc ("Edge"), which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company. Edge, managed by Edge Investment Management Limited, is the Company's largest shareholder. Discussions remain at a very early stage and there can be no certainty that these discussions could lead to an offer for the Company. A further announcement will be made when appropriate. In accordance with Rule 2.10 of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, Coolabi confirms that it has in issue and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange 55,517,449 ordinary shares of 1p each under International Securities Identification Number GB00B28PL418. In addition, Coolabi confirms that it has in existence GBP562,114 of convertible loan notes which can be converted at a price of 6.75p per share. 15 August 2011 Dealing Disclosure Requirements Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Coolabi, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Coolabi, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Coolabi by Coolabi, or by the potential offerors, or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.

Posted at 11/8/2011 11:42 by iloveit Bid approach for Coolabi09/08/2011 Robert Tyerman Media rights specialist Coolabi (COO) says it has received an approach which might lead to a takeover bid. The AIM-quoted company, whose properties include Purple Ronnie and pre-school series Poppy Cat, has announced this in response to sharp movements in its share price. Chaired by William Harris and steered by chief executive Jeremy Banks, London-based Coolabi, whose broker is Evolution Securities, has recently been scoring successes for its brands, including four merchandising partnerships the other day for Poppy Cat. Last year, the company slashed its losses from £1.4 million to £196,500 before a tax credit of £474,000 on turnover down 17 per cent to £2.9 million. Highlighted by Growth Company Investor at 6.25p in June, Coolabi tightly-held shares, which have traded between 8.95p and 5.75p over the past 12 months, now change hands at 8.75p, up 1.25p this morning, valuing the company at £4.9 million.

After a jump in its share price yesterday, UK entertainment and rights management company Coolabi has confirmed that it has been approached by a third-party suitor for a possible takeover.

Posted at 20/5/2011 07:03 by lord gnome The movement in the share price suggests that the company is headed for the dustbin, yet the news coming from the company in the last 12 months has been universally positive and the company has recorded a profit - albeit a small one. Sooner or later the company will issue figures that are going to give the market a pleasant surprise and the share price will react accordingly. Hopefully the next set if interims will give us a good clue as to whether they are translating good deeds into profits and cashflow. I am however focusing on next year's finals announcement. I can wait 12 months if the share price is going to double - and I still think it will. The only fly in the ointment is that I am not at all sure as to how much cash these licensing deals are actually worth. Does anyone on here have any comparisons that might give an indication? |
Posted at 26/1/2011 15:39 by wearehere READ THIS ,Coolabi (LON:COO) , the AIM listed media company focused on the ownership and creative management of high quality intellectual property assets, has concluded the first four licensing deals for its Poppy Cat property ahead of its UK television debut on Nick Jr (UK) in May and its international roll-out later in the year. The animated 52 episode series of Poppy Cat, co-produced by Coolabi Productions and King Rollo Films, will bring to life the much-loved children's literary character created by Lara Jones in the Macmillan book series that has sold over two million copies. The Coolabi share price gained 2.1% to 5.88p in morning trading. With the series airing soon, Coolabi said that interest in the licensing and merchandising opportunities surrounding the Poppy Cat brand was increasing significantly. Further deals are in negotiation, including in other territories following international pre-sales of the television series. Among the first four licensing agreements is an addition to an existing book deal, which includes more than 30 of the original Poppy Cat books, in which Macmillan have signed a publishing deal to produce a specially written and designed series of books to tie in with the television series. The new Poppy Cat books will be published in Autumn 2011. Elsewhere, Redan Publishing, the name behind many popular and respected children's magazines, has signed a deal to feature regular Poppy Cat stories and fun activities in two of their best known magazines: Fun to Learn Friends and Fun to Learn Favourites. Poppy Cat's debut appearance in the magazines will coincide with the first episode broadcast on Nick Jr (UK). Coolabi has also signed a deal with character nightwear supplier Aykroyd and TDP Licensing Ltd, long established as a major player in the field of children's licensed character merchandise, which will bring out a range of nightwear and underwear for the pre-school market featuring designs inspired by the Poppy Cat TV series. The collection will launch at retail in spring 2012 across most retail channels. Finally, Jumbo Games, one of the leading puzzle and game manufacturers in Europe, will produce a range of Poppy Cat jigsaws, puzzles and games for the preschool market, launching in 2012. As well as launching on Nick Jr UK in May, international pre-sales of the television series have been confirmed with Nick Jr Australia, RTE Ireland, YLE Finland, TV2 Norway, and TVO, SCN and Knowledge Network in Canada and Cake Entertainment has been appointed as our distribution partner for the series. Jeremy Banks, the chief executive of Coolabi, said: "These four agreements, with some of the best known companies in their fields, underline the increasing awareness of both the Poppy Cat name and the forthcoming Poppy Cat television series. We expect this strong licensee interest to continue both in the run-up to the television series and well beyond." Click here to read a recent Stockopedia interview with Jeremy Banks. |
Posted at 18/8/2010 13:25 by maytrees TX Saucepan - the share price of CAZA retraced subsequently but seems to have found support now.Meanwhile the COO share price having just ticked down, maybe someone has taken my vote of confidence as an exit sign and has sold on PLUS? The Autumn results should provide better signs for PIs one way or the other. |
Posted at 15/7/2010 16:58 by saucepan The basic investment case, as I see it, is as follows:I start with value and recovery. If forecast 2010 results of 1p earnings per share are accurate, the stock trades on a P/E of eight. With 2p eps forecast for 2011 that makes a forward P/E of four. So, if the shares maintain their current lowly P/E rating they would potentially double in price. I actually think we might see broker upgrades in view of the developments which I turn to below. So, the next question is what are the grounds for confidence that recovery/growth is on track? I msyelf became interested in the stock in June 2010 after two RNS announcements on the same day (10 June): An AGM statement that was very upbeat: And "two further deals for the teen and tween girl's brand, Scarlett & Crimson, underlining the property's capacity for rapid international expansion". EPS was a negative (i.e loss) per share of 34p in 2004 and this loss has reduced steadily since then. 2010 looks like the year EPS will be turning positive (i.e. the figures quoted above. Debt is very modest. Coolabi has also recently been recruiting some seemingly very high calibre individuals to key positions: e.g. Zoe Scurfield, Anna Hewitt. The Company has a current market capital of £3.6 million - so it is not a case of elephant's having to gallop to make headway, to use Jim Slater's analogy. Now let's look at the share price. It is absolutely bombed out, but the chart seems to have developed a bottom, and the consolidation period has been substantial. In view of the expressed excitement and optimism of the company, I expect the share price to start recovering now to keep in tune with the fundamental story. With a share price that was once in excess of 2000p and a current buy price of 8p, the multibagger potential is obvious. My own stop is the 5.75p low made at the beginning of the year: making for a great risk reward ratio, in my opinion. Directors have been accumulating shares regularly since 2004, and there has been no selling. What is missing is current share price momentum. The shares seem almost totally off the private investor radar. I think it is just possible that the likes of Investors Chronicle and Shares Magazine might have a comment on the 10 June RNS announcements in their next editions (though I am not holding my breath), but I shall be rather more surprised if a tip sheet of some kind does not discover what seems to me a growth/turnaround story in the next 6 months. That could light the share price fire. Hopefully, I am doing my bit by flagging COO in this competition!! Last but not least, Coolabi have Bagpuss among their intellectual property rights, and I love Bagpuss - shows my age |
Posted at 08/7/2010 07:11 by iloveit Production of Poppy Cat TV series TIDMCOO Coolabi PLC 08 July 2010 ? Coolabi plc ("Coolabi" or the "Company") Coolabi announces production of Poppy Cat TV series and raft of international pre-sales Coolabi plc (AIM: COO) announces that production is underway to bring the much-loved children's literary character Poppy Cat to television screens internationally. In February of this year, Coolabi appointed King Rollo Films Ltd ("King Rollo Films") as its animation partner for the 52 episode series, due to air on Nick Jr (UK) in 2011. The television series, which will be co-produced by Coolabi's television production arm Coolabi Productions and King Rollo Films, will bring to life the world of the pre-school children's character created by Lara Jones in a series of books that have sold more than 2.5 million copies internationally. With a third of these book sales coming from overseas, the potential of Poppy Cat, both at home and abroad, is significant. Strong international pre-sales of the series have already been recorded with sales confirmed to Nick Jr Australia, RTE Ireland, YLE Finland, TV2 Norway, and TVO, SCN and Knowledge Network in Canada. Other international broadcaster partners are expected to be announced in the near future by Cake Entertainment, which has signed a global TV distribution agreement for the series. With Coolabi's production, broadcast and distribution partners now contracted, a substantial proportion of the production budget has already been covered by third parties with any balance of the budget being funded by Coolabi from existing resources. Jeremy Banks, CEO of Coolabi, commented: "We are very excited to be bringing this wonderful property, with such considerable potential, to television. In addition, we are particularly pleased to be working in conjunction with both Nick Jr and King Rollo Films to bring Poppy Cat's adventures to life for audiences across the globe." Enquiries: |
