Gyllenhammar defence reignites war of words over NMT record

SIMON BAIN March 29 2006

Peter Gyllenhammar, the activist investor, reignited the war of words with shell company NMT yesterday by defending his record in Scotland.
Gyllenhammar this week sold his 14.6% stake in NMT after criticising its governance by financial investor Volvere, prompting Volvere's chief executive Jonathan Lander to liken the Swede to "a small child needing constant attention".
Gyllenhammar said: "Coming from Jonathan Lander I will take that as a compliment."
Lander also claimed Gyllenhammar was "not a long-term investor".
Gyllenhammar responded that his stake in Scottish-founded heart valve maker AorTech, based in Lanarkshire until 15 months ago, had helped the company achieve its recent spectacular recovery.
AorTech's share price has jumped from 90p to 525p in recent months, notably on the signing of an exclusive US deal for its core product Elasteon. Gyllenhammar said his 10% stake had so far made him a profit of close to £2m.
"That investment has been based on my belief in the development of Elasteon," he said. "I have indeed stayed in long-term in AorTech and it has been a phenomenal success. The management have done a fantastic job."
AorTech topped 1000p during the technology boom. When Gyllenhammar first invested, he lobbied the board to invest its cash pile in his property empire, as he did with Murray Financial Corporation, where he owned 29.9%.
On Murray Financial, he commented: "I am a very rare bird – I made money out of it. I bought at 2p and one day my broker phoned up and said I could get 3p. I said: 'Jump on it'."
Gyllenhammar recently took a 6.1% stake in DVD distributor Home Entertainment, because "it has got all the criteria of my investment targets".
He said not all his UK speculations had been successful but his previous Scottish investments had made him money. "Scotland has been kind to me."

I wonder where the AGM will be held?

One option to directors who sit in control saying nothing, also showing
that they dis-like having many PI's on the books. Is to hold it in an area
that is not accessible to shareholders.

The other is to hold the AGM where most can attend.

If the report is true from the Herald, Lander certainly speaks his mind!
Although likening an investor to a small child and publicly stating that
fact is not what I would call good practice by a director. The point made
about it being impossible to deal with him shows that there must have
been dialogue between them and that they [Volvere] must have been rattled
by his presence.

We now have 'Shareholder Value' and 'Focus'. ['From an NMT perspective
we want to focus on what we do best, which is investing the money in something interesting.'].

Two strong words that should bind shareholders together?

Will we see an open and sound account of where NMT are heading at the
AGM?

There-by, repairing director / investor relationships in a company that has
fallen over the last few years but has the funds and shareholders remaining,
to shine for all.

That is, given the right direction, and the right directors. Not directors that
shut doors to investors, taking their money but excluding them from any
information until it has been implemented with-out being voted on.

There are bridges to be repaired here, and an open and honest AGM could
pave the way to a new and exciting chapter in NMT history.

Only time will tell! One month to go.

Edit: For Yearly Accounts, that it.

Lander added: "From an NMT perspective we want to focus on what we do best, which is investing the money in something interesting."

When?

However, Lander said NMT would reveal its investment strategy at results next month.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

NMT happy to see back of 'small child' Gyllenhammar

SIMON BAIN March 28 2006

NMT, the former Scottish medical technology group now controlled by financial investors Volvere, said yesterday it was happy to see the back of another financial investor, Peter Gyllenhammar.
The outspoken Swedish investor, who in recent years has bought and sold substantial stakes in a string of tiny Scottish listed companies, yesterday sold a 14% stake in NMT a few weeks after picking it up.
Earlier this month, Gyllenhammar called for NMT to give its cash back to shareholders and claimed that its management arrangement with 29.9% shareholder Volvere was "unethical".
Yesterday, NMT responded that having Gyllenhammar on the register was "like having a small child to deal with".
The Swede's shares, acquired at 52p, were sold at 58p, netting Gyllenhammar a £75,000 profit on his outlay of £650,000.
Gyllenhammar bought most of his 14.6% stake in NMT in February from Bluehone, a London-based investor which had supported the bid by NMT's former board to resist the coup by Volvere last September.
Yesterday, NMT said Gyllenhammar had sold almost all of his 1.26 million shares to Wood Hall Securities, a vehicle for Andrew Cohen, founder of the Betterware home delivery group.
Gyllenhammar has also held substantial stakes in Murray Financial, where he agitated unsuccessfully for a return of capital, IndigoVision, and AorTech.
Jonathan Lander, chief executive of Volvere, responded yesterday: "I don't think Peter Gyllenhammar is really about long-term investment, he is about being an activist, and in this case I don't think he got what he wanted ... When Gyllenhammar has 15%, it is like having a small child on your shareholder register because it needs constant attention. It is unbelievably time-consuming and it was almost impossible to deal with him."
Gyllenhammar was not available for comment last night.
Lander added: "From an NMT perspective we want to focus on what we do best, which is investing the money in something interesting."
Gyllenhammar had called for the group's £6m of cash to be returned to investors as Volvere had failed to find a better use for it since the boardroom coup six months ago.
However, Lander said NMT would reveal its investment strategy at results next month.

So we now have Gyllenhammer holding 15,000.
[Unless we see a trade for that amount which
could be his, go through as a sell].

Table up-dated. [The 15k could be held by either
UDC or Forvaltnings].
