Jeeves feels helpless!

[battlebus2] 25/10/2012 15:57

You can do a lot of damage with crayons :)) best if you hand them over.

[luckyjonah] 25/10/2012 15:53

Sorry, I thought you said you retained some of your shares too, maybe that was someone else...

I'm not allowed staff in my padded cell, only crayons.

[pomp circumstance] 25/10/2012 14:26

Yes usually tender offers pay out after two weeks of cancelation but this one is more difficult given third parties,foreign country tax laws and currency exchage etc. Could be worse zangdook the market could have turned sour atleast we may a healthy profit here. I was told most likely the week beginning 19th November but nothing definite.

[zangdook] 25/10/2012 08:01

So on the 5th

the Tender Offer is binding with respect to all Metal-Tech shareholders...The Tender Offer will be completed in the next few days.

Now on the 25th

The Company today announces that the Tender Offer has been completed and is declared unconditional in all respects

But we have until the 1st of Nov to get the tax forms in...still no clear word of when the money will come. Presumably it'll be "a few days" after 1 Nov, ie late Nov/early Dec.

I wish I'd never bought back in now. I was just trying to increase my spare cash a little before I invested it in stocks which have now gone up rather more than the gain I expect here.

If I'm not mistaken that refers to the cheques for certificated holders. All it says for the rest of us is that payment through CREST will be "prompt":

settlement of the cash consideration will be effected by the dispatch of cheques or payment through CREST promptly after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects. For certificated shareholders, the cash consideration to which an accepting Metal-Tech Shareholder is entitled will be dispatched by first class post. All such cash payments will be made in US Dollars by cheque drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank within 15 business days after the Offer becoming unconditional in all respects.

[steve36] 19/10/2012 10:43

The original tender offer stated that payment would be made within 15 business days of the Offer becoming unconditional. That is by 26th Oct.

[pomp circumstance] 18/10/2012 08:55

they wont pay a day to early!! Juuus

[luckyjonah] 18/10/2012 08:26

Nope, nothing from either of my 2 brokers/accounts yet.

[zangdook] 17/10/2012 22:05

On 5 Oct they said "The Tender Offer will be completed in the next few days."

It's been 12 days. Anyone had any money yet?

[battlebus2] 12/10/2012 12:54

Any idea of the timescale for the return of funds and what rate we are to get?

[zangdook] 12/10/2012 12:44

No, you'll get the tender price:

the Tender Offer is binding with respect to all Metal-Tech shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they tendered their ordinary shares in the Tender Offer

[battlebus2] 12/10/2012 12:34

Maybe they are selling at 18p cause if you still hold u may get zilch?

[zangdook] 12/10/2012 12:14

The cancellation of admission of Metal-Tech's AIM Securities will become effective at 7.00 am (UK time) on 15 October 2012.

Some people selling at 18p yesterday. Odd. I wonder if you can still buy - the quoted offer is 27p. Unfortunately Hargreaves Pantsdown tend to stop allowing their clients to deal in shares which have announced an intention to delist. One day I'll get around to finding a less bizarre and patronising broker.

[pomp circumstance] 05/10/2012 14:05

the weakening dollar is cost us alot of money at the moment!

[zangdook] 05/10/2012 10:26

I thought compulsory purchase was a separate exercise, to be launched after reaching 90%. I didn't realise they could just assert that the tender is not optional. Not that I mind, personally, in this case.

[pomp circumstance] 05/10/2012 10:09

Looks like we wnt be able to keep a small stake after all!

PLease sell us your shares. if you wont sell them to us we'll take them anyway! PUH!

Metal-Tech Ltd.



("Metal-Tech" or "the Company")



Update on Tender Offer for all issued and outstanding share capital of Metal-Tech



Metal-Tech, the producer and recycler of specialty metals such as tungsten and molybdenum, provides the following update to the announcement of 28 September, 2012.



On 3 September, 2012 Metal-Tech announced that Hillah Consultants Ltd. Inc. ("Hillah Consultants") had commenced a Cash Tender Offer to acquire all of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital not already held by Hillah Consultants and its sole shareholder, Mr. Ariel Rosenberg (excluding certain ordinary shares to be purchased by Mr. Rosenberg from a shareholder of the Company following consummation of the Tender Offer or alternatively following the adoption by the Company's shareholders of a resolution for the cancellation of the admission of the Company's shares from trading on AIM), totalling 4,148,045 ordinary shares of the Company and representing approximately 10.8 percent of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (disregarding 99,405 ordinary shares that were issued subsequently as a result of the exercise of options as noted below).

On 28 September 2012, Metal-Tech announced that Hillah Consultants informed it that the expiry date for the Tender Offer was extended from 28 September 2012 to 4 October 2012 at 17.00hrs BST.

The Company announces that Hillah Consultants has advised it that, as at 17.00hrs on 4 October 2012, Hillah Consultants has received valid acceptances with respect to 4,036,845 out of the 4,247,450 ordinary shares subject to the Tender Offer (both of which numbers include 99,405 ordinary shares issued as a result of the exercise of options following commencement of the Tender Offer). The foregoing 4,247,450 ordinary shares represent 11 percent of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital. Following the expiration of the Tender Offer, Hillah Consultants and Mr. Rosenberg will control an aggregate of 99.45 percent of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (including the shares to be purchased by Mr. Rosenberg as noted above), which exceeds the necessary threshold of the issued and outstanding share capital of Metal-Tech required to acquire all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, including those owned by non-tendering shareholders. As a result, the Tender Offer is binding with respect to all Metal-Tech shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they tendered their ordinary shares in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer will be completed in the next few days.

what surprised me was the address part where they give you about 3/4 inch to write your address and ask for it in reverse order, starting with city and ending with house number. I hope they don't try to write to me like that.

[luckyjonah] 28/9/2012 15:37

Pomp, I hope you have checked this properly cos that's not my understanding of it - it's an *Israeli* tax form, they will tax you 30% on the tender price unless you have completed the tax form correctly (there's nothing UK-specific about the form, you have to complete country of residence and all sorts of details unless you are Israeli). Also, the forms are mandatory for Depository Interest holders, which I'm told by the brokers is how MTT shares are held in nominee accounts.

This info straight from 2 different brokers who forwarded details from the nomads/custodians.

[pomp circumstance] 28/9/2012 14:30

not if they are held in nominee and you are non resident :)

[luckyjonah] 28/9/2012 14:01

...and your personal tax details, ie. tax ref or NHS number... it's a personal tax form!
