And maybe hidden behind Audley, through the John Redwood connection, Carphone Warehouse.

good morning cordwainer - audley

Any spurious and imaginative guesses as to who made an approach? In fact, has anybody on this board contacted EBT to ask if they're still in talks?

This is dragging on a bit

[cordwainer] 01/2/2008 00:35

There ^ , I think I made my 'point'

[silverthread] 25/1/2008 12:19

Agreed. The trading statement is another disappointment and reflects badly on management who seem incapable of making a profit from a strong position in a rapidly expanding market in a high growth country.

with their trading statement out the way i wonder if we can now get our takeover done and dusted i want the cash so i can invest elsewhere :)

Thats what i thought, althought these things can go on for ages, and it was Christmas!

[cordwainer] 08/1/2008 20:52

Takin 'em hell of a long time to talk.

You are right, I was making too big a discount for kids and the elderly, when on reflection they probably represent the fastest growing markets. One thing is for sure, we will get an opening salvo well before the Olympics.

I do not think Mr Reiman (holding 27%) would be happy with 25p. IF there is an opening bid, we might then see others declare an interest. EBT notable footprint in a 750m mobile phone market is not to be sniffed at!

[explorer88] 04/1/2008 14:13

25p from Audley or 28-30p from CW / 3rd party

personally i'd prefer EBT to remain independent, but it seems that in 80-90% of cases tasty morsels like EBT, SFT, UBQ are bought and only a few, like Sage, can maintain their independence whilst growing. A pity.

[azalea] 04/1/2008 12:23

Yes,saw the news on CW - the mobile phone industry is hotting up, which explains the interest in EBT!

[rolvenden] 04/1/2008 10:52

carphone ????? bought further 13k this morning.If retail is poor in this country try China?

[azalea] 04/1/2008 10:43

It's a question not a statement.

[jimelson] 04/1/2008 10:36

is it? how do you know?

[explorer88] 03/1/2008 23:31

cash bid of 25p from Audley imminent?

[jimelson] 01/1/2008 20:06

sorry i didnt mean that. what i meant is from what i have seen, after a failed bid, the price may fall but not as low as before they released the news and there is usually opportunity to get out before they fall seriously. im probably way off the mark though, go easy, iim not the best at this.

[azalea] 01/1/2008 18:40

jimelson
Judging by your post, you are suggesting that if the bid fails, you will get to know before the MM do! I suspect in the event, by the time you get to know of the bid failing, the MM will have already slashed the share price back to the "lower price".

[conchessa] 01/1/2008 17:43

i hope the takeover is going ahead,great potential. good luck to all
