Leeds Share Discussion Threads

Quiet on here. Not much to say I guess. Dawsons results were predictably poor and it looks like that pension fund is going to be a major headache.

Oooo exciting, another 100k snapped up by the scanwegians, err I mean company buyback.
How many more to go?

[arthur_lame_stocks] 17/6/2009 10:45

So T&D's gone at last.

Looks to be about £8-£8.5m plus another £5m to be realised from working capital.

Not bad I guess.

Now they just need to sort out the pension fund.

Thank you for your post and the link.

another excellent post and attachment.
sir alan smith must be gutted to see these corporate hooligans at the helm.

Asked what he wanted to do with the company, Gyllenhammar said it was "not Leeds that will do things in Dawson, it is the Dawson board and management team", and claimed there had been "confrontations" with shareholders and "discussions that have not been particularly constructive".

Interims out. A big increase in NTAV to 44.4p per share and NCA to 37.8p per share.

In theory, LSE Rules and Regs wouldn't allow them to do that as all 'significant' company information is supposed to be announced to the market as soon as it's available. Reality, however, means that this toothless organisation permits companies to do whatever takes their fancy.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 20/5/2009 07:58

I wouldn't be surprised if they wait until after Dawsons have disposed of their spinning division.

[ansc] 20/5/2009 07:51

The announcement date of the Interim figures for the last six years respectively have been: 2 June (last year); 10 May; 10 May; 27 May; 19 May and 14 May ('03). On that basis, could we see something next week?

[deswalker] 05/5/2009 15:42

Welcome ansc. List updated.

[ansc] 05/5/2009 15:35

I stuck my toe in the water for 15k this afternoon. Add to your list if you would please Des.

[cg1953] 20/4/2009 12:18

playful.
thanks for the Hartley comment.
mind now boggles why he endorsed the LDSG investment in the light of this quote ?
certainly there seemed to be no dissent at the time of the 2 LDSG appointees to the dwsn board last year.
of course its what 'we' LDSG holders have known to our cost for some years now.

Hartley said it appeared from another company where Gyllenhammar had major influence that it was run as "a private fiefdom", adding: "There doesn't actually seem to be much consciousness that you need managers to run these businesses. It (Dawson) is a fairly sizeable complex group, and it is clearly a public company."

[arthur_lame_stocks] 18/4/2009 19:48

As somebody pointed out on the DWSN thread, they own 25k shares between them!

[jonak] 18/4/2009 01:55

the other directors at Dawsons don't like it, but who knows which way this will go

[arthur_lame_stocks] 17/4/2009 08:24

Some action at Dawsons. Leeds are trying to oust Mike Hartley.



IIRC Mike Hartley was GPG's man and also responsible for buying Dorma from them in a deal which looked to be in GPG's favour.

Thank you for link.

[deswalker] 29/3/2009 09:04

Thks dethard - that explains the interest.

[dethard] 28/3/2009 22:26

Des/Arthur: Here's the link:

[arthur_lame_stocks] 28/3/2009 17:54

Yes it was mentioned in an article along with Densitron and Hartest, but I can't find a link at the moment.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 27/3/2009 22:56

I think they got a mention on the Fool, that might be it.

In the old days you could always tell when news was imminent as somebody would buy 100k, but I guess it could be the company these days.

[deswalker] 27/3/2009 14:18

There's been a bit of small buying interest here these last few days which makes a nice change. Fingers crossed there's a reason behind it ...
