[mattu11] 05/1/2009 10:33

It changed from .833 a long time ago.

[mattu11] 05/1/2009 10:32

The terms are 0.605 shares in lloyds group for each HBOS share.

[robwoodt] 05/1/2009 10:24

quick question guys, can they change the terms from the 100 HBOS for 83 LLOY Shares before the deal goes through?

Lloyds defends HBOS pension move



Date: 04 January 2009
By Rosemary Gallagher
LLOYDS TSB is adamant that HBOS's pension scheme will be stronger when the two banks merge, despite the decision by scheme trustees to try to postpone the deal until their concerns are addressed.
On Friday, HBOS's pension trustees agreed to ask the Court of Session in Edinburgh on January 12 to delay giving the deal legal approval until Lloyds TSB guarantees it will protect the scheme's 80,000 members. The trustees have also commissioned an independent valuation of the scheme by actuaries Watson Wyatt that could reveal deficits of up to £5bn.

Trustees want Lloyds to guarantee HBOS's liabilities. Lloyds has not agreed to do this, but has argued that the pension scheme will benefit from the merger.

A spokesman for HBOS said: "We are very much of the view that our deal with Lloyds TSB is the best form of protection for our employees.

"Following the deal, the HBOS pension scheme will be backed by an even bigger and stronger group. We believe this provides significant reassurance for a l l HBOS colleagues."

The HBOS scheme trustees hope to postpone completion of the merger beyond its scheduled date of January 16, following their representation at the court hearing on January 12. However, they said they "decided to take this step reluctantly".

Sources said the challenge is "not likely to be a deal breaker".

DE, I may be paranoid about shorters, but it doesn't mean they are not out there to get you.

spacetomato

you seem obsessed with the idea that shorts are affecting the sp

it would be best for you to look at the longer term chart in the header

[number1] 02/1/2009 21:46

looks like LLOY have another hurdle to over come in the shape of the pension trustees who may ask to 'delay' the merger....what a bunch on muppets...they don't really have much in the way of ammunition to get concessions....

[spacetomato] 02/1/2009 16:54

Lloyds at 130p

[olly2] 02/1/2009 16:53

what price did this finish on?

[spacetomato] 02/1/2009 16:40

Nice finish for the day. Come next week.

[spacetomato] 02/1/2009 15:30

Well, I am happy to see the shorts closing anyway. However, I think they would expect a lower price to close their shorts.. the fact that when they will finally rush through the exit doors they will do it all at once and the price will increase exponentially as well. I think I will see 100p very soon.. and I would be very happy with that price.

Good luck all.

I agree with number1 ref the service economy. No nationalisation of the banking system. Allow the banks to pay the tax payers money back. create a better monitoring system for the banks so that we do not have a repeat of easy money lending without a proper collateral or checked references with employers.

[porridge3] 02/1/2009 14:58

why not just nationalise rbs, hbos/lloy and refloat them in a year or so and make even more money?.

these banks are still a VERY VERY risky play

[number1] 02/1/2009 14:51

The government is now a majority holder in RBS, HBOS/LLOY - they intend to make a profit out these investments....they will do whatever is required to put in place a environment for banks to prosper....remember UK is a services led economy - it can't survive with out the financial sector .... shorters can't do much worse with or without short selling rule....DYOR
