Thank you.

Hardly the same - I had invested from 38p. It went on NTA instead - close though!

[call-logger] 15/10/2010 08:32

If you're so fussed about it why not reinvest the money in NTT?

[nomunnofun] 15/10/2010 08:28

ohwhat - agreed but what can you do. I had been in this share a long time and was the only one to choose it in the 2010 stock competition - had hoped for a lot more upside.

[call-logger] 15/10/2010 08:26

It's been extended so that now you can accept the offer to get your money

If you don't then in a while you'll get some type of court order saying that you have to

[ohwhat] 15/10/2010 08:18

Can anyone explain in plain English why when this offer has gone unconditional, the acceptance date has been extended unconditionally. I personally have not accepted the offer as a protest as I dont see why I should be rode out of a company that is doing so well and has the potential to do even better.

Over 10% iirc

[srpactive] 16/7/2010 10:59

insti's will probably give their backing providing another
offer over a certain percentage does not come forward.

Is this not a done deal with 52% of institutional holders on board?

[srpactive] 15/7/2010 20:24

That is a tactic of Warren Buffett, as he thinks the
first bid is almost 9 times out of ten increased
by the bidder or another party, I would have thought
145p would have been the figure,we all shall see
soon enough, although 120p has made me alot of money
and quite happy with it.

megSta.... Rubbish. If an investor wanted NTT shares they would buy NTT shares!!!

Buying of shares over offer price is in case anyone else throws their hat into the ring. It would cost only a couple of pence if they are wrong but big bucks if they are right.

do not rule out cisco, entering the game.

jonesysaint - speculation that the offer might have to be upped and/or so that they own shares in the now NTT

[linney3] 15/7/2010 11:19

52% does not get the offer over the line - they need from memory 90% acceptance to get the deal through

[jonesysaint] 15/7/2010 10:18

please can someone tell me why people are buying in huge sums at a price over the offer price?

[prokartace] 15/7/2010 08:42

Thats democracy for you

[ohwhat] 15/7/2010 08:22

Yes I realise that, I cannot do anything about it, done and dusted and we do not even get a say in the matter.

[call-logger] 15/7/2010 07:52

Actually I see that they've already got 52% support so ohwhat, I'm afraid you're in the minority,

[call-logger] 15/7/2010 07:49

Vote against it then

[freonwarrior] 15/7/2010 07:46

@prokartace, yep, will be fun!

[ohwhat] 15/7/2010 07:33

I find this really anoying, what about the shareholders? I have been in these for nearly 3 years and am making over 100 percent on them.

From the RNS

Dimension Data stated:

"We believe our alliance with NTT will now allow Dimension Data to accelerate
the execution of its medium and long-term strategy at a rapid pace. The
combination of NTT's global assets and Dimension Data's system integrator
capabilities is an extremely powerful combination."

[ohwhat] 15/7/2010 07:25

Why are people buying at a higher than takeover price, is it the shorters buying back?

[prokartace] 15/7/2010 07:22

Dont get too excited, now you have to find another company to risk your money!!

[freonwarrior] 15/7/2010 07:02

My first ever takeover!

[prokartace] 13/7/2010 14:24

Its the way she moves....115p next stop IMO
