Tumbling Marchpole considers going private

Financial Times, Nov 20, 2007

The deputy chairman and largest shareholder in Marchpole said investors in the fashion company were "out of their brains" and he would consider taking it private after its shares fell by more than a third.

The loss of a contract to distribute Yves Saint Laurent clothing caused turn- over in the six months to September 30 to fall from £38.6m to £29.9m. Pre-tax profit dropped from £4m to £453,000.

Sorry chaps I guess the answer is cause no trades went through but 4 in 5 minutes then nothing till close? I think this could fly as its moved very nicely on low volume. Guess we will see in the morning

[steg] 20/2/2008 19:04

Just checking in. Why did trades stop at 2pm?

[master rsi] 20/2/2008 17:19

Today's rise has move the share from the dreadful bottom
Now there is that large GAP to be fill on this curb on the way up

[momentos] 20/2/2008 16:52

Agreed. Wonder if his old mucker Harold Tilman is around (last seen bailing out Sebastian Coe I think!).

[argy2] 20/2/2008 16:48

Can't see anybody making a hostile bid for MPH. However, Morris might be happy to see a large relatively silent investor, who has faith in his abilities, taking a meaningful stake in the Company via a placing.

[master rsi] 20/2/2008 16:41

MMs agreement to shake the share price and control the price rising further today, it seems they succeed on the action.

will see what happen tomorrow, but expect media comment on today's rise

[momentos] 20/2/2008 16:31

Those touting a takeover should be aware that Morris (and other insiders) currently own sufficient shares (25%) to prevent a forced takeover. Obviously if someone got to 50% Morris position would be very difficult.

However, that does not mean that someone else, or Morris himself may be considering buyout.

Pleased to see the bounce for the pained long term holders.

boetang ltd in reverse takeover....what a deal!

[cosnova] 20/2/2008 16:07

I agree Marchpole has some excellent labels and licences which have real value
and would not be surprised to see a deal struck,

[taffee] 20/2/2008 16:00

cosnova

boetang.....its the strange settlement of the dispute costing boetang £1 million plus costs......we could see a settlement but not like this...why would he bother unless he wanted to clear the decks?

[dumbarton2] 20/2/2008 15:48

You will get negative comments if I am negative on the outlook thicko.

[dumbarton2] 20/2/2008 15:28

Dead cat bounce mms tricks be warned .

re -MMs shake earlier

it looks that way

There was a large buy 100K when share price was 21 / 21.50p at 13.55pm. a few minutes later all MMs marked the price down to originate the shake and get some stock ( if sellers fall for the game)to cover the large buy, well so far are not succeding, any more buys they will have to move the price up again.

from Plus market trades...
