And this is with the APN shares valued in the INM balance sheet at A$1.68 a share (€255m)when the market value is less then A$1 per share (€155m)



Its assets came to €573.7m,
Its liabilities to €596.5m
The company therefore had €22.8m of net liabilities.

The acquisition of DD's shares were the subject of a Stock Exchange
RNS....so I suggest you wait for his investment vehicle to inform
the market.
Ditto for Investec...assuming they sold?

O'Brien increases INM share to 27% - report



If desmond did sell did he take his loss and move on as he sees it as no "value play"





It is not clear how much Mr Desmond paid for the INM stock last week but shares traded on the day at between 26.5 cent and 27.02 cent. This would indicate that Mr Desmond paid up to €1.08 million for the additional shares.

INM closed in Dublin yesterday up just more than 1 per cent at 28.5 cent. So Mr Desmond has made a small paper profit already on his latest share buying in the media company. However, he would be underwater on his total holding in the media group, having acquired 13.7 million shares at more than 50 cent each earlier this year



IIU now owns 31.6 million shares in the company, according to yesterday's filing

Mr O'Brien buying off maybe Desmond! No takeover! Seller not liking what he sees! Even ex APN ev/ebitda of 8 for sellers shares

[caveat_emptor] 03/5/2012 16:45

Whoever it was, and supposedly DOB, I would like to know
where the 5% came from.
