Interesting takeover involving our 70% shareholder JAB Holdings

'Coty set to buy P&G’s beauty business'

PARIS — Coty is on track to acquire Procter & Gamble’s beauty business in a $12bn deal that would make the US cosmetic company the world leader in perfume and hair care, sources close to the matter said.

If the deal goes though, Coty would get its hands on brands such as Gucci and Hugo Boss perfume, Wella and Clairol hair care products and Max Factor and Cover Girl make-up, part of its strategy to reverse its own declining sales trends.

Luxembourg-based JAB Holdings, the billionaire Reimann family’s investment firm which controls 75% of Coty, would own about a third of the equity in the combined business and about 47%-48% of voting rights, the sources said.

JAB controls fashion brands Bally and Belstaff, shoe maker Jimmy Choo and coffee company DE Master Blenders 1753, which is set to merge with the coffee business of Mondelez International. JAB’s assets under management reached $39bn this year, up from $14bn in December 2011.

I have suffered a bit of a dip on MAB1 but feel pretty sure it will recover. Reduced some exposure,generally, a while back if I'm honest.
I think this week has probably been a buying opportunity; I can picture, suddenly, the Greek thing being solved and then perhaps a whoosh again!
But what do I know 8-) t

Nice to end in the blue , forgotten what that looked like ;-D

Don`t know how, but the portfolio is still holding dead flat for the week so far.

[hazl] 17/6/2015 15:33

hey well spotted!

Interesting ! these guys have just added 2 million shares, now holding over 5%

GIC Private Limited, formerly known as Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, is a sovereign wealth fund established by the Government of Singapore in 1981 to manage Singapore's foreign reserves.

I think we`re going to have to test the 140p float price.... just seven trades and another 2p off the share price ... 6% this week.

I`d like to add some but you know there`s a good chance of picking them much cheaper.

Totally out of favour.

[philanderer] 16/6/2015 17:56

Hi hazl, yes got a fair few PLND now.

I added quite a few @ 296p on the 5th june.

[hazl] 16/6/2015 16:28

Thanks phil...I don't look at these a lot because I thought they oozed quality and would tick away on their own.

The general market is more difficult to assess presently though.

You still got your Poundland?PLND

Thanks for the support!

[philanderer] 16/6/2015 13:14

Yep, for sure.... still reckon we`ll be taken over by one of the big players within the next 12 months @ 200p+

"Jimmy Choo puts on action-packed show for Spring/Summer 2016 men's collection launch

Rather than have models showing off the Spring/Summer 16 line at a leisurely pace, the fashion house opted for an extreme-sports set.

Ramps replaced a runway and models hit skateboards and BMX bikes to give the front row a show to remember.

They even enlisted the help of a professional, Mark Webb, to add authenticity.
"Welcome to The Jimmy Choo Sporting Club, watch this space to see the men's #SS16 collection in action #LCM (sic)" the brand posted on Twitter alongside shots from the show.

"Five times BMX world champion @thewebbieshow hits the skate ramp wearing the #JimmyChoo VARLEY trainer #LCM (sic)"

If viewers could tear their eyes away from the impressive stunts to notice the shoes, they will have been greeted with an array of colourful trainers.
One model wore a bright yellow shirt, waistcoat, tie and yellow-and-blue trainers to ride a matching skateboard, while another was dressed in a deep blue shirt, tie and jeans with black trainers with yellow detail.

There was also a pair of white sneakers with reflective silver panels.
Burberry was also among the labels showing their new collections yesterday. However, it decided to stick to a more traditional format, with models hitting the runway by foot.

There were crisp blazers with chunky scarves, classic beige trench coats and zebra-print coats on offer.

Model Suki Waterhouse was among the front row.

".....Men dressed in lace by Burberry, Christopher Kane's colourful tweeds, and 1980s-style footwear by Jimmy Choo: London's men's fashion week bowed out Monday with plenty of daring designs."

Shareprice back to november 2014 levels this morning, and the lock-in period ends in under 10 weeks, when directors and insiders will be allowed to dump their shares on the market

LONDON (AFP) - Sharp suits vie with streetwear and top brands at men s fashion week in London, which opens Friday with an eye on boosting ties with the lucrative luxury Chinese market.

Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford and Jimmy Choo are some of the big names showing over the next four days alongside Savile Row tailors such as Richard James, Gieves & Hawkes and Hardy Amies.

[philanderer] 12/6/2015 09:34

Not a single trade and the quote goes from last night`s:


163.30 - 165.20

to..

166.80 - 167.30

to ..

163.30 - 167.60 on two small sells.

[hazl] 11/6/2015 18:06

still here but its a bit of a non-mover lately

a Blackrock pdf has some interesting conclusions on the Chinese market and we have a connection,in my opinion....
'.Does China’s slowdown spell doom for its equity market?
High GDP growth often does not translate into high asset
prices, as detailed in
Risk and Resilience
of September
2013. And consumption is likely to grow faster than GDP
as China rebalances. Conclusion: Companies benefiting
from domestic demand and reforms can still be winners'

[philanderer] 11/6/2015 17:12

And another down day , little interest though... only 18,000 shares traded today.

[philanderer] 10/6/2015 09:05
