Posted at 03/5/2003 20:52 by stewjames fm27, probably not. There remains some risk, namely that the liquidation doesn't get voted through (unlikely) or that some unexpected nasty liabilities will surface hence the discount. Mostly though IMO, the lack of interest is because most small private investors spend their time chasing (and for the most part failing to catch) big gains and simply aren't interested in low risk 10-20% returns.If you do want to buy, note you'll have to do so in the very near future. The shares will be suspended next Wednesday and delisted on Thursday if all goes according to plan (see the EGM RNS) |

Posted at 19/2/2003 10:45 by old boy returns Skyship - could not agree with you more. Shareholder activism and campaigning for effective regulation is a near full time mission of mine - the FSA receive more papers, suggestions and complaints from me that they can comfortably ignore and I sense the tide is beginning to change. I also pioneered the web based shareholder action group concept a couple of years ago. Excuse my ignorance but what is 'the excellent work being done by Myners' you refer to.I am going to have a go at Pollock cos I think there is an argument that he is committing an offence under the FSAM Act 2000 by being less than open with investors in his comments about the merits of the offer compared to other options such as liquidation and has withheld material information. |
Posted at 07/2/2003 12:54 by ccraig69 interesting post on MW site againThink you guys and girls need to get organised to stop this. Have full support of most private investors even like me who have no shares but hate to see people get shafted like this |
Posted at 03/2/2003 16:18 by mstrathern tilton - max in msg 99 gave which seem to different from City Insights, they list their phone as: 020 7392 4100 and from their site: 'In the past 24 months Salisbury Associates have been commissioned to provide services to 37 mergers and acquisitions both contested and agreed.

Posted at 13/1/2003 06:55 by cg1953 this deal is so 'manifestly against' lnt shareholders;perhaps the fsa/sfo ought to be advised ???? imo, as in [fthm/hyc] and [izo/orb] there seems to be conflicts of interests between directors and shareholders. a 'hidden agenda' or 'collusion', seemingly sanctioned by the very institutional investors[orchestrat who are paid to protect and enhance the wealth of both small and large individual investors,but most importantly, to uphold the integrity of the market. |

Posted at 01/6/2000 09:20 by mg I thought I'd resurrect this thread even though I seem to be the only one interested in this little cash shell.The three new directors have been extremely quiet over the last few turbulent weeks/months - I understand that they have been carefully sifting through the wheat/chaff to find a potential acquisition target. I also understand that they are at an advanced stage with one of those targets and that it is likely to be in the recruitment/employme The share price has been twitching a bit lately with MMs opening the spread each morning for the last few days - possibly anticipating an announcement. Since they are now trading at or below the price before it was transformed into a shell (fundamentals give us about £6m in cash at 31/12/99) there seems to be little downside but significant upside if they announce a decent deal. Interesting that the placing and open offer was at 6p - which looked very generous when the stock had reached 43.5p based on expectations of great things from the new investors. Market Cap at the current price is £15.8m - so I suppose they could drop to about 4p to match MC - meaning no premium to take account of the main investors - Schroders, Mellon, Johnson and Ashworth have 10% each with Montanaro UK Smaller picking up 5% as part of the placing and open offer in December at 6p. I've recently doubled up my holding in these [initially getting in at 19.5p:( ] so I obviously have a vested interest but I do think they are well worth watching in the short/medium term. |
