I don't think so. Base offer is (9p plus 0.0375 of an ALN share) per MSR share that you hold. On top of that is a mix-and-match capability which says you can opt for more ALN shares or more cash pro rata, provided there is no overall change in the cash/share offer (which basically suggests there's little point in asking for more cash, because it would need to be balanced by enough people asking for more ALN shares).

Importantly, the value of consideration share offer is essentially variable since it's a fixed proportion of a share and so must vary with ALN's market position. At the time of the offer, ALN's share price was 160p which valued each MSR share at 9p+(0.0375*160p) = 15p. However, at current price (in the middle) that comes down to 13.8p.

There is a general trend towards 'point' solutions (web 2.0); solutions that are open, offered as web services and perform one task really well.

In Alterians market (marketing resource management) these solutions are often offered as SAAS (software as a service), even to blue chip companies.

Only Pepperio currently is SAAS and MSR has failed to be successful in exploiting this model. MSR-Pepperio does not have the level of sophistication necessary to integrate into Alterians software.
MSR-Morello does, but has a rather outdated back-end and a windows GUI as a primary client, making it almost impossible to integrate it decently into Alterians system.

Furthermore content management is not the only discipline that Marketing resource management systems have to interact with. They are also fed by (and feed) CRM systems (e.g. Salesforce.com), Statistics services (e.g. Omniture) and even ERP systems like SAP. Eloqua, one of the fast movers in this space even started as an add on to Salesforce.com!

This acquisition of Mediasurface clearly is a move against the trend of 'disaggregation' and has a serious risk of alienating and slowing down Alterian in their fast moving market segment.

WCM (web content management) is a saturated market where the last phase of the shakeout and consolidation is taking place. That will make it very hard for Alterian to penetrate into this market in the first place.

Considering that MSR management is will be sent home two weeks after the acquisition this could become a huge distraction for Alterian.

So no, I am not particularly hopeful with regard to this acquisition on the long run.

grq - share your dilemma. maybe 14.5p was the best price we could have got on the day of the announcement. today we are worth 14.1 if the bid goes through v. 13.0p bid in the market. so not too highly geared to ALN's weakening share price

on balance I think ALN's strength will serve us well to hold on for the bid's conclusion, although still not sure I am interested in holding ALN long-term - just seems a bit boring, which is probably the very reason why I should hold ALN - 20% pa compound growth with no excitement is where we should all be!

Maybe using the cash element to buy more ALN at a price temporarily depressed by the bid for MSR is the clever play here? then hold for ALN to recover to 160p as it digests MSR over the next 6 months - 16.4% over 6 months from 137 to 159.5, less dealing costs, say 15% net profit would be pretty good. And by then you'd have got to know ALN better so could make a better decision about the long-term.

No advice intended.

looking at ALN share price movement this year they have risen by about 40% since feb, which is when I presume the talk behind taking over Mediasurface started.This was obviously a good deal for ALN by the look of it ( which makes me think that it wasn't such a good deal for MSR ) As the exchange price was set at £1.60 and they have since dropped to £1.37 our future holding is already at a loss so It seems that we are losing on both fronts. This begs the question...should I just sell now and buy ALN at a later date, assuming that I want to that is. Time will tell I suppose. Does anyone else have a view on this deal

with ALN shares fallen from 1.60 before announcement at which deal was valued to 1.48 yesterday, each MSR share is now worth 0.09 cash plus 0.0375 X 1.49 = 0.055875 makes a total of 0.145875 for each MSR share v. 13.75 closing price yesterday. Let's hope ALN holds up in face of this deal (which I have seen questioned by some form ALN's POV) till we have them in our hands to sell (or hold).

Have i got my sums right..If you have 50000 msr shares, you get 50k x .09p =£4500 in cash and 50k x .06p = £3000 divide by £1.50 ( the price of ALN shares )=2000 new ALN shares.
what happens if you don't wan't the new shares can we have all cash I wonder or should we just sell into the market. taking dealing costs into account there wouldn't be that much of a loss I suppose. It all depends on how you feel about the new company and how it will work with our technology. good luck what ever you decide. buyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I guess Alterian's offer will proceed regardless of PI interests, so results almost irrelevant. Regrettably does not get me back to my 22.8p av. purchase price, but I am happy to move on at a 33% loss from this disappointing company.

Alterian seems to have demonstrated model 21% pa compound growth in share price over the last 5 years - what are its future prospects? With only 6p payable in shares the holding will be too small to interest me, unless there are new arguments to build a decent stake in it. Any views?
Posted at 16/5/2008 07:24 by kenw01
Results suggest a recovery may be on the way and eventual share price higher than the 15p a share offered by Alterian. Anyway, good day for those who bought cheaply!
