Very suprised not to see some notice about shareholding this am ..If it was ORCA I am sure they would have been on the case to avoid any issues later. Bit confused really.

I would have thought that if they can't delist, ie get 75% they wouldn't want to do this deal. They want to get on and do what the plan is not have a 25% minority quoted company in the UK.

agreed. if it's ORCA they are (or feel they are) short of what they need.... :-)

Yes .. I think it is Orca but the RNS's will be interesting in the next day or so.If I see a buy above 50p then we are in business... Much more fun than perhaps I thought

I think they are pretty strong results and while they flag the number of contracts coming up for renewal they have said that they expect a large new contract with that Advantics deal. 50p is too low for this business in the market and we have been done like kippers !!

Hi

Not sure results are being rushed out ..they were 2nd June last year . I agree we have not been well treated here by the independents since the Chairman stays on in the new order. I assume that they haven't actively sought another bid but of course anyone out there has now had over 6 weeks to see what was going on and to make a move but with Orca stake and management backing it would be tough .. effectively although we didn't know it at the time the check move on this was when Orca bought in ..today we probably have checkmate. I am going to see what the results say with interest though

Hi Harrogate....ummm.....I know what you mean! Well, it's results day today and I'm sure things will become clearer to us by the end of it. In the menatime I will not be agreeing to anything in the meantime! I'm also very disappointed that they did not come back with an increased offer after the first attempt, if only nominally. Maybe I'm being cynical but I wonder if the accounts are being rushed out today (i have not yet seen them) simply so that the bidders can go back into the market to top up as they try to get the bid unconditional? In my view Herald's reluctance to agree the bid terms must be indicative of poor value being offered by the bidder (but curiously recommended by the "independent" (??) non-exec directors.....who have a vested interest in the bid succeeding!) and what some might see as OSG/Investcorp's blatant and aggressive attempt to extinguish long-suffering shareholders in favour of the existing board and Investcorp! I'm surprised, as you say, there has not been/is not at least SOME other interest sniffing around OSG at this cheap level. Curiously and notably the company has been silent on this and I would be much more comfortable if it clarified there has been (and is) no other interest whatsoever. However, I fear, as you intimate in the end we will simply get steam-rollered......stuff the little shareholders! onwards and downwards!

This looks like game set and match to me and is a bit of a rum do !! They have got this onthe cheap unless another bidder comes in ...at least now we get to see the finals before voting. Shame I was getting excited there for a minute

Harrogate, thanks fore the insight/info. I (and Mrs Bearfoot) also voted against.... we were called by Orca out of the blue as well and asked to fill vote for the offer and return the forms. However, when I said that the offer did not represent value for the bsuiness (as an investor from Applied Hollographic days) and that I concurred with KP/Herald's views/position the caller said 'she understood'. I agree that a higher bid will be necessary to win this assuming they are prepared to go this route.....

I spoke to Katie Potts at Herald a couple of weeks ago and she said she was not happy and had not been approached before the offer to get her view. She bought more to block it I guess and has done. I did not get the impression that she had someone waiting in the wings but may be talking to Orca now..her chief objection I think was that managment get shares and get the upside while we donĀ“t. I have to think a higher offer is on its way. I voted against but it is a bit nervous at the moment. Fingers crossed for 60p!!

Does anyone have any clue what is going on here? Was anyone at the meeting? Is my confusion due to encroaching senility or is it on account of this being a genuinely confusing situation and there having been less than perfect communications from the company?

I think things could get quite interesting here ..Herald have bought a chunk at 50p and are nearly 20% of the shares that can vote on this deal.

No, like you I've read the thing from end to end and there appears to be no mention whatsoever of offer dates or indeed anything to do with timing! There's also no mention of when the formal offer documentation will be forthcomming.....all very strange anbd slightly worrying that nothing has been produced other than the RNS!

Does it say when the first closing date is I can't see it on the announcement?

Thanks

Harrogate, the circular is simply a copy of the annoucement. The formal offer documents will follow according to the blurb.

Just been looking at the holding declarations and the volumes in the market. Looks as if Blackrock have sold their 2 million plus shares in the market. I am not totally convinced the more I think about it that there is no chance of another bid here. I would have thought if the 4 million shares sold on Thursday were bought by Orca or people acting for them then it is over but if someone else has been buying them then we might have a bit of fun. Maybe just wishful thinking but OPSEC is a scare asset in a market that has been of interest to PE in the US.

A friend of mine actually got tipped this last month in the middle East, told me about it but the spread was something like 25.5p - 28p + very illiquid so didn't bother with it... however how low does it go?
Is it attractive here?

JONNO1 - 21 Dec'10 - 15:56 - 589 of 619 edit

...Someone told him it was about to go mega , and that he had nearly a million shares, my mate doesn't trade , but knows I do so told me, took a look as I was unaware of this stock... haven't touched it yet, the only reason I could see it going higher was if there was a bidder out there.
It certainly hasn't acted like that in the last month has it...
I have no current position, but am curious, and have it watch listed


Timing eh ! missed it Doh!
