20:25		varies: It is a long time since I looked at MERC's purchase of NVM and I see that this took place in Dec. 2019. MERC paid £12.4m in cash and issued the vendors with 16.8m shares with a value of £4.2m using the placing price of 25p. It also promised deferred consideration of £6.3, payable in equal instalments on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of the purchase. I think that MERC has the option to make these payments in shares. The deferred consideration is conditional on most of the NVM funds transferring to and remaining under MERC management. The price of MERC shares before the announcement was 32p. MERC raised £30m to pay for this purchase at 25p but did not allow its own small shareholders to participate in the placing. This upset many of us and scored a boycott from Simon Thompson still in force today. Whilst sympathising with this reaction I believe that the course of action followed by MERC was in the long term interest of its shareholders in that NVM was well worth the price paid and such an opportunity had to be seized .

08:44		columbarius: A handy payment covering about three quarters of the maiden interim dividend. Also note today's RNS from Mercia portfolio company Concepta (CPT). It's been largely written off in Mercia's conservative books but new management (Mercia now represented on the board) and change of direction look promising. Any share price appreciation from the 1p level adds to Mercia's NAV. Someone likes the newsflow, 400,000 buy at 27p.

07:34		redartbmud: Mercia Asset Management PLC ("Mercia", the "Group" or the "Company") Performance fee entitlement Mercia Asset Management PLC (AIM: MERC), the proactive, regionally focused specialist asset manager with c.£872million of assets under management, is pleased to note that Northern Venture Trust PLC ("NVT") has released its preliminary results for the year ended 30 September 2020. As a consequence of NVT's strong recovery in its net asset value per share, arising in part from a very recent successful sale of one of its investments, Mercia, as investment adviser to NVT, is now entitled to receive a performance fee of £284,000. This revenue will be included in Mercia's full year consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2021. Mark Payton, Chief Executive Officer of Mercia, commented: "It is very encouraging to see the recovery in net asset value per share of Northern Venture Trust PLC, as well as similar recoveries in net asset value per share for both Northern 2 VCT PLC and Northern 3 VCT PLC. This recovery in asset prices is consistent with what we are seeing in our own direct investment portfolio." Gobsmacked from Goole. Makes a change from them giving it away.

16:00		varies: redartbmud In answer to your posting on 10 November I do perceive an advantage for MERC shareholders in successes achieved by the Managed Funds. The better they perform, the more subscriptions they attract and the greater the fees that MERC can charge. Far and away my best investment success in recent years has been in IPX. The share price has risen nearly 12 fold in about 4 years and much of this is attributable to the success of the funds they manage. Their only quoted investment trust is, I believe, Impax Environmental. This has outperformed most in its sector but IPX shares have done much, much better. IPX specialises in investments acceptable to institutions worried about Climate Change and this is a large factor in its success. If MERC makes good money for those invested n its managed funds, then MERC's shareholders will benefit too.

07:11		redartbmud: Mercia Asset Management PLC ("Mercia" the "Company" or the "Group") Sale of The Native Antigen Company Mercia Asset Management PLC (AIM:MERC), the proactive, regionally focused specialist asset manager, is pleased to announce the profitable sale of The Native Antigen Company Limited ("NAC") to LGC, a global leader in the life sciences tools sector, for a total cash consideration of up to £18.0million. Mercia held a 29.4% fully diluted direct holding in NAC at the date of sale and will receive initial cash proceeds of £4.8million, with up to a further £0.4million receivable upon finalisation of customary closing working capital calculations. Based upon the total anticipated amount receivable of £5.2million, the total realised return above the £2.7million holding value as at 30 September 2019, will be a further £2.5million. Of this, £0.6million will be included as a fair value increase in the Group's results for the year end ended 31 March 2020, which will be announced on 14 July 2020. The remaining balance of £1.9million will be recognised as a realised gain in the Group's interim results for the six months to 30 September 2020. The sale is anticipated to generate an 8.4x return on its original direct investment cost and a 65% internal rate of return ("IRR"). Mercia first invested in NAC in 2011 through its third-party managed funds (which as at 31 March 2020 held an additional combined 20.9% stake) and subsequently, from its own balance sheet as a direct investment in December 2014. In addition to the direct investment returns, the sale will generate a 12.1x return on a blended third-party managed funds investment cost and a 31% funds IRR. Mercia has proactively supported NAC since its first day of trading, including representation from Mercia's Chief Operating Officer Peter Dines, as a non-executive director on the NAC board through to exit. Founded in 2010, as a divestiture from a University of Birmingham spinout company, NAC has become one of the world's leading suppliers of infectious disease reagents and is widely acknowledged to be a primary source of reagents for the study of emerging diseases. Dr Mark Payton, Mercia Asset Management, CEO, said: "Keeping to our commitment of realising balance sheet investments within a three to seven year period from initial investment, NAC is the fourth full cash exit from our direct investment portfolio. It has been an excellent investment for Mercia and this sale is a strong demonstration of the value which our differentiated model can create; for investors in our managed funds, shareholders in Mercia and the founders we back. NAC is an example of an innovative regional business sourced through Mercia's network, supported initially by our managed fund capital and then scaled using our own balance sheet capital. "Mercia plays a critical role in helping the UK's most exciting regional businesses scale and I am proud of the part we have played in NAC's journey, not just as the major capital provider but also as a critical partner in helping the business achieve its potential. I look forward to watching as they continue to go from strength to strength with their new owner." Yet another transformational sale by Merc - Not. Underwhelmed from Uttoxeter.
