Early start to Friday session Ralph?

Yes ignore the short term moves focus on the guaranteed mega-merger to define all mega mergers to come. Next week deffo and if not the week after that deffo, deffo or maybe sometime in the future, deffo deffo treble deffo.

I have it on very good authority that Warren Buffet is 100% deffo, deffo to be appointed to the PAYS board next week. Means mega-merger. PAYS and CoKe and Kraft all at the same time and do not forget he is Bridge partner to one William H Gates the Third and he will not want to miss the action so chuck MSFT in the mix as well.

What you see everday at 16.35 hrs you can ignore. It is the post market auction which determines closing price. It is not actual stock traded at that time daily.

[lomax99] 24/3/2017 16:38

Own up, who's behind the 577.5k trade? Hopefully another shorter reducing.

[scothernman] 24/3/2017 16:33

Look at the plus point always.....goodbye 450s. Remember those days in november n december when people complained of the share price dropping by 3 to 5p everyday. Well that has reversed and we have spikes daily. Next big spike will be 10% or more when the news comes as this big spike is overdue in years and well deserved for PAYS.

Like it ralphmalph lol. A great movie.

[malcolmmm] 24/3/2017 14:50

Feels like PAYS is about to burst forth and multiply

[ralphmalph] 24/3/2017 14:42

Merging with anything French does not create a powerhouse. It creates a socialist moneypit.

[nurdin] 24/3/2017 14:19

Worldline are on a prospective PE of 25...we are on a measly 12!
But similiar waist line...

[eh9] 24/3/2017 14:07

The rise in worldline share price in tandem with paysafe is still exciting to me. It's an Atos company partially floated therefore would be an agreed merger to create a powerhouse e.g. In wallets and digital tickets as well as significant processing synergies....can see atos and the ii shareholders of both companies being excited at a Nasdaq listing

Ahh, 3 year fixed. And it was end of March 2014... Fair play, at least we're at a 52 week high!

[zcaprd7] 24/3/2017 13:38

Well, he should have waited, so they can buy them all back over the odds!

[nurdin] 24/3/2017 13:29

Depends on whether the reason for taking out the original loan is still there.Is he going to replace the loan with someone else with more favourable terms or will he be forced to sell some shares to meet his needs?

edit.. Overlap with wolfs post.

[wolfhound1] 24/3/2017 13:28

EH9 - I tend to agree , what is Interesting that it is an "irrevocable undertaking" that has been signed - the loan was due to mature anyway - so why the need to sign an irrevocable undertaking - simple it is a pre-cursor to a deal announcement.

whilst this loan was due to mature he could have rolled it over or even sold off 50/60% to clear the loan and kept the balance of the shares but he is not parting with a single share nor did he sell any of his 10 March LTIP shares - reason for me is simple - share price is about to rocket on an announcement - it is the only logic that fits - with 9.8m shares he could easily have parted with say 750K to repay the loan and still had 9m shares left - but he chose to keep and repay debt instead - he didn't do that for a 10% rise in the share price over the next few months - there is a big deal in pipe and he needed to get this done to clear regulatory/Board stipulations to take the top seat in a merged business.

Several months back he pulled all of his shares held in Canada one presumes to IOM for capital gains tax planning purposes - in other words every step he takes is a calculated move- and same here.

The more I think of it I wonder if news might be immenient and hence the "irrevocable undertaken" had to be signed before the weekend ?

[wolfhound1] 24/3/2017 13:19

You have to hand it to JL - he is £ 3 Million pounds better off due to that transaction - bit of a pain in the a$$ for us investors for the past 3 yrs but you have to admire his smarts !!!

[eh9] 24/3/2017 13:18

You also have to go back to why they named it "paysafe"....they have very significant ambitions

[eh9] 24/3/2017 13:17

Nurdin the institutional support is there and the strategic rationale is there- my intelligence is the paysafe mgt team is held in very high esteem....

[nurdin] 24/3/2017 13:14

Ha ha..you are incorrigible EH9!

[eh9] 24/3/2017 13:09

The repayment date was fixed from the outset and or is a prerequisite to a deal or a merger - e.g. If paysafe to buy sage pay or merge with worldline and Joel become CEO both boards would want this....I personally hope for worldline merger and consequent listing on Nasdaq but failing that sage pay.....

[nurdin] 24/3/2017 13:08

With interest rate of 3% per quarter, there would be a strong incentive to pay off the loan as soon as possible!

[zcaprd7] 24/3/2017 13:02

He should have waited until the share buyback programme had finished...

[nurdin] 24/3/2017 13:02

Ah yes I recall...thanks a lot.
