The woman has skin as thick as a rhino!

She does receive very sympathetic press condisering what she did at HLO and was dismissed for. Many papers would be holding her up as evidence of everything that is wrong with corporate greed and misleading investors but some treat her with kid gloves given her propensity for suing.

Did she get her finances back in order or is her livelihood dependant on getting some money out of the company? last I read was that she owed money all round.

This is not that 'point'.
Whilst I am not a fan by any stretch of the imagination, anything she can do which helps minority investors secure a better deal is welcome.

At some point investors should be turning the tables on KB. It is surely a cheek and more neck needed than the average giraffe to legally challenge in the way she is doing !?

90% is usually required to go 'unconditional', unless they amend the rules to suit their needs.

As stated above, they have enough to satisfy this unexplained 'Acceptance Condition'. They also state "If the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional, and sufficient acceptances of the Offer are received...". That implies they really need it to go unconditional.

They can't just get rid of a share register! If they declare it unconditional, then everyone has to sell to them, and surrender their holding for a cheque covering it, at 0.75p/share.

The poor take-up implies a lot are inclined to stay with it after de-listing. Ares/Tosca don't want that. If they get to 90%, then the remaining 10% are obliged to accept and take a cheque to cover their holding.

It would be much better for them to offer a bit (eg. £1.5m) more, declare it 'unconditional' and be assured of full, unencumbered ownership. They don't want the baggage of lots of small private investors.

Not sure of course, but the poor take-up to date is saying something. Only about 20m (about 2.5%) so far, which takes them to around 80%. They need 90% to go 'unconditional' and compulsorily buy out all minorities. That, I understand, is their stated aim.

Dusseldorf, try ISDX.
There is a sale showing there today.

Have put some limit sell orders in at the offer (0.75p). Otherwise I'll wait for a cheque from Tosca&Co.

Discovered just that Jupiter did a form 8 disclosure just days ago (8/04/13). Very late, for some reason, and not very openly announced. I assume it was within the permitted timeframe?


I expected 1p. That would have been fair, and affordable considering HLO have close to £9m cash. They got the company for nothing, although admittedly they are over £50m under water. Unlike a lot of private investors they can, over time, recoup those losses.
I wonder what, if anything, is in it for Jupiter? They may be offered a 'compensatory' stake in the new private company and also eventually be able to recover their losses.

Dusseldorf

They should be forming investor opinion BEFORE a bid, making people angry, winding up interest, setting the bar high, telling investors how the voting happens when there is enormous concert party, advising of the dangers/rewards of holding an unlisted share, telling shareholders what is going on ( in the public domain, re frameworks etc).

There is no point waiting for the bid ( say at 0.5p) and then suddenly sayingis worth at least 2p. Must set the bar high NOW so that informs Tosca on level of disquiet and forces them to make a higher offer to appease shareholders.

The ONLY useful comment so far is from Craig Tibbles, the only one to have put his head above the parapet

'dontshoot',
I see you continue to slander me and mislead investors with your posts.

Why mislead people?
When on the 24th January was it ever 1p? Utter lies and nonsense.

On the 24th Jan. it opened at 0.77p and had dropped to 0.52p by 8:42am (within 42 minutes!)
Anyone can check it out for themselves, and see your dishonesty and blatant attempts to mislead investors. The trades are here (go to date 24/01/13), just click on this link:


I thought the price would fall to around 0.50p - 0.55p before stabilising, so made my first buys at around 9am on the morning of the 24th February. I continued buying, picking quite a few more up below 0.50p, and a few above. By the end of the day I had built quite a big position. Including dealing costs my average buying price was just under 0.51p. I have since added at 0.50p or less and my average buy price is now very close to 0.50p. In fact I added another 350,000 today. I have the contract notes to prove it, although I don't have to answer to you or anyone else.

I really don't care who believes me. I deal only on my own account, but am happy to share my views and reasoning. Only a fool would believe anything a short-seller would say. A short-seller who only profits from the losses and misery of decent, genuine investors and shareholders.
Who, other than another short seller would take any notice of you?

I only have one ID here. Obviously NoToHCLOffer is another of your ludicrous, childish monikers. I'll be pointing that post and slanderous accusation out to ADVFN later. I'm sure they'll soon be able to confirm its another one of your multitude of IDs. You probably have hundreds by now!

I'm content to let Tosca&Co have my shares at 0.54p, and take my 8%. I welcome what they did. I welcome their 'offer' - it puts a line under the price, and I'm adding anytime it falls to 0.50p or less. Easy money - a gift horse. It enables me to sleep well, in the knowledge that I can't lose. I look forward to adding even more tomorrow, if the opportunity arises. I'll take an easy 8% profit all day long!

Dear Fellow Investors,
We are disappointed at the manner in which we have arrived at the current proposal of an offer for the remaining shares not held by the incumbent concert party, led by Tosca. We believe management has not provided sufficient information to support recent RNS announcements and give minority investors sufficient information to judge the reasonableness of the offer put forward.
On this basis we are calling for minority investors to get in touch with us on NotoHCLoffer@yahoo.com to form a concert party to oppose the indicated terms of the offer. To date we have 4 per cent of the outstanding shares in our favour.
Please direct any further correspondence to the above email address.
Kind Regards,
No to HCL offer

Steg Investors are the ones who have been wiped out here. The huge sell today wasnt a trader was it, it was "A Real Investor" as you call them, no doubt an insti thats bailing out at a huge loss. The only people going to make money here are traders, yes like me and others that buy in after you "Real Investors" have unfortunately lost most of your cash in this stock.

This is now a trading stock and will be volatile and there is money to be made whilst it is volatile.

"Real Investors lol"

I know but you know what I meant I think.

Stegrego - real investors and traders buy all types of shares and adopt different strategies and timescales to each situation. Investors and traders who do not make money are those who close their minds and waste their time talking down shares rather than buying when it gets bloody. I have made most of my money buying bombed out junk stocks.
