26/3/2013 10:08 | Graham1TY - It's not entirely unexpected for a guy who has seen his stock value drop 95% in 18 months (losing several million in the process) to comment on the situation, though even he hasn't really said anything at all in terms of what he'd do as there is no offer, the circa £60m he inferred the company is worth is simply the net asset value of the company. | dusseldorf | |
26/3/2013 09:34 | 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 | graham1ty | |
26/3/2013 09:25 | Graham1TY Fair observations there I think. When a campaign group seems as inept and sterile as the board of directors that is time to start worrying. | loverat | |
26/3/2013 09:21 | Graham1TY - There has been no bid yet, so in theory nothing to discuss 'officially', though see your point re:valuations etc.. perhaps it was just a pre-emptive attempt to ascertain the level of holdings that could be used to lobby directors - and maybe it's so small the group can't be bothered. I haven't put my name towards the group as I haven't seen what the final bid is, i suspect many others are in the same situation so until things are visible the group will only form long-term holders who have been substantially diluted already. Unfortunately for long-term holders a bid higher than say 1p lower than 2p is highly likely to succeed IMO anything lower and the concert party will likely struggle to get the 90% needed to take the company private | dusseldorf | |
26/3/2013 09:03 | Can I just say the NO to HCL campaign is the most useless campaign I have ever seen. No news, no comment, no discussion of the merits of the bid, no detail on who can vote in what circumstances, no lobbying of the press, no news flow on frameworks or current trading, no valuations. Silence. Bit like the Board | graham1ty | |
25/3/2013 16:10 | 18 months ago the concert party and banks were happy with the business model and projected revenues giving a valuation 20x the current price (10p a share). Not much has changed since then bar a reduction in debt by £30m following the placement and (we believe) the framework is now out and HLO is part of it (positive), ok the business needs another cash injection, however, that must have been anticipated long ago. Regardless of the bid offer, I suspect any offer will be daylight robbery for any long-termers(!) Happy to hold from these levels, but I'd be seething if I was a long-termer. Clearly there are none left bar tibbles(!) | dusseldorf | |
22/3/2013 12:24 | Yep - looks like the bid will either be on the 3rd April or by close on the 28th March next week. No speculation at all, no buys no sells - nothing. Probably the most bizarre takeover of a company I have ever seen. Either literally everybody knows what Tosca are going to bid, or nobody cares. The cynic in me says the former with company and Tosca in cahoots - issuing statements to enable a low ball offer. | dusseldorf | |
22/3/2013 08:03 | Go live date 2 april.......last bid date 3 April......with Easter just before.... | graham1ty | |
21/3/2013 14:08 | from iii: 14:56 20/03/2013 Re: Framework There is a 2 week "stand still" period following agencies being informed of thier inclusion on the framework, until they are allowed to formally announce. But my information is that there were no "drop-outs" from the qualifying bidder stage. So HCL should be on it. Original plan was for 20 agencies and 5 "neutral vendors", but looks like GPS dropped that plan at the last minute. Stand still period may be cut short, as the "go live" date is 2nd April - subject to revision etc etc By P_dub | dusseldorf | |
21/3/2013 08:58 | Graham1TY - I would agree the situation is very bizarre. A major shareholders steps in and says they will bid 'at least' 0.54p and no movement what-so ever. Assets (albeit majority intangible) are 10x multiple of the current price and the company currently has twice as much cash as the market cap (though when trading is cash consuming this doesn't mean too much). I suspect a few of the speculators were burnt on short-term trades following the 2p>0.5p price collapse, expecting the cat bounce that never came and are perhaps wary. Sometimes it's simply a case of lack of visibility i.e. many are not aware of the situation - a flat price attracts very little speculative interest - if the price started creeping up, you'd probably have people scrambling to buy on pure momentum. I've been in multiple situations before where I couldn't believe the lack of interest, suddenly to be deluged with new posters and a rocketing price. Though as holders we are taking a risk the offer is lower than current share price (I'd find it very hard to believe), there is also plenty of reward to be had from these levels... | dusseldorf | |
21/3/2013 08:25 | Whether u are shareholder or not.....is this not one of the quietest bids ever ? After a fairly big flurry of trades early on, with ( apparently 20m shares changing hands a few times) there is negligible volume, negligible speculation and NO outside interest. This is either bust or there will be a bid somewhere between 0.5p and couple of pence. Is that not uncertainty enough for speculators ? For existing shareholders tro back their belief and buy or push the price down getting out ? I cannot believe that the whole register is now settled and no one else wants to sell. And cannot believe that there are not people ( Tibbles) who think this is worth a lot more. I know c72% is tied up with the Concert Party so the float is only £1m. however, if such statistics existed this bid must have the lowest level of trades relative to the size of the Company of any bid I have seen. Surely this is not a foregone conclusion at 0.5p ??? | graham1ty | |
20/3/2013 17:36 | Purav - how do you know? I'm not saying you are incorrect, but the 'market' has not been informed of the successful progression of the framework agreement and HLO's inclusion so how can the market react to the news... | dusseldorf | |
20/3/2013 08:31 | all bids were accepted. | purav | |
20/3/2013 07:28 | PURAV - are you saying you have seen confirmation somewhere? If so, please post the link. | dusseldorf | |
19/3/2013 16:13 | they have been awarded a place. see the price shoot up? | purav | |
19/3/2013 14:38 | Or maybe they have been given the informal nod but that doesn't quite gel with the concert party 'offer'. Maybe everyone will be kept in the dark as they try and hurry a sale through and then Tosca et al will be able to start their new ownership with a decent bit of news. or is that too cynical? | begorrah88 | |
19/3/2013 13:25 | The wait continues... Perhaps the new framework is somehow linked into Wednesdays budget speech? | dusseldorf | |
13/3/2013 15:36 | "HCL's corporate values - innovation, excellence, sustainability, integrity and collaboration - sit at the heart of our business" Not sure many of the shareholders feel that way about the way they have been treated. | xow98 | |
13/3/2013 15:00 | More positive news from the company's website: London, Wednesday 13 March 2013 HCL Workforce Solutions has thrown its weight behind NHS Change Day 2013, pledging to spread the word to staff, clients and candidates appealing them to 'do something better together'. HCL Director of Sales and Marketing Claire Billenness says NHS Change Day, a single day of collective action, demonstrates how small changes can have a big impact. "It's no secret the NHS is in a drive to find efficiency savings of £20bn by 2015, and the only way we as an industry can work together to achieve these targets is by championing innovation and sharing best practice," Ms Billenness said. "We are using our company website and social media platforms to create a buzz and urge all staff, clients and candidates to get involved in NHS Change Day as well as advertising the event on the shop floor, on our staff intranet and e-newsletter. We want to encourage people who interact with the NHS on a daily basis to become a part of this mass movement by making a pledge this could be anything from smiling every time they pick up the phone, thinking twice before printing out that email to sharing best practice with a colleague." She said. Pledges on the NHS Change Day website have more than doubled initial targets of 65,000 (to commemorate the 65 years the NHS has been in operation) and show no signs of slowing, currently topping 130177 and including pledges from key supporters such as Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, NHS Confederation Chief Executive Mike Farrar and National Medical Director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh amongst thousands of nurses, doctors, graduates, agencies and trusts. "HCL's corporate values - innovation, excellence, sustainability, integrity and collaboration - sit at the heart of our business and fall in line with NHS Change Day. I encourage anyone within or in affiliation with the NHS to visit today and see the fantastic pledges people are making, and to contribute a pledge from themselves or on behalf of their organisation to do something better together." | bill182 | |
13/3/2013 14:56 | No problem - I've set up alerts on contractsfinder (links above) for both categories of award: Keywords/categories: rm970 Keywords/categories: rm1570 The overall cumulative value over 4 years is £2bn+ so any supplier could expect a reasonable piece of that pie... | dusseldorf | |
13/3/2013 14:43 | Dusseldorf - many thanks for your assistance. | bill182 | |
13/3/2013 14:12 | bill182 - The official list will most likely be published here once it's released: I'm not aware of any other channel for release of 'outcomes' bar a generic award site: https://online.contr Locums https://online.contr Agency staff https://online.contr You can add alerts (email notifications) The original RFP's that HLO have gone for (I believe)are here: I'm no expert but am looking at 1st two for info myself | dusseldorf | |
13/3/2013 13:43 | Dusseldorf - do you have a website you could recommend that will notify who the approves suppliers are when they decision is announced. I have carried out an initial search, but as this is not an area I have much knowledge of, I am not sure which will be the best site. Thanks in advance. | bill182 | |
13/3/2013 12:49 | bill182 - Given the company has long cited the delay in framework announcement as compounding all the issues they have (and this has hammered the price continually), you'd think a positive update would result in an immediate re-rating to circa 0.75p/1.25p(ish) - it will also be the green light for Tosca et all to jump in with a swift offer If it's not a positive update and HLO is 'out' then perhaps current price for an offer is fair, place your bets now please | dusseldorf | |
13/3/2013 12:32 | Very quiet on the trading front today. It will be interesting to see if there is movement on a positive announcement regarding the 'framework agreement'. I am pretty sure it would test the 0.54p indicative minimum offer. | bill182 |
