Posted at 23/3/2008 09:54 by botman2 its been free float adjusted since 2000but it would appear the selection process is based on full market cap question with RTR is can they include tradable canadian shares as free float |
Posted at 22/3/2008 14:55 by jarbie I am not sure, without going through the weighty prospectus, whether ThRts will just replace the RTR shares in the FTSE 100 or will they need to wait for the next election, but all the combined shares of ThRts will be in the FTSE 100 in due course on the basis of a dual listing |
Posted at 22/3/2008 13:12 by botman2 jarbie, thanks. i estimate equity component of the offer equates to roughly 279p x 1238m shares or about £3.5bn. TOC equity cap i believe is $22.1bn (?) or about £11.1bn. on that basis RTR equity will be about 23% of combined. not much of a freefloat, wonder if it could still be in the FTSE. anyone know the rules & likelihood? |
Posted at 23/11/2007 19:42 by meic Any ideas how this outcome could impact rtr?Forecast: U.S. dollar could plunge 90 pct Published: Nov. 19, 2007 at 2:16 PM Print story Email to a friend Font size:RHINEBECK, N.Y., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A financial crisis will likely send the U.S. dollar into a free fall of as much as 90 percent and gold soaring to $2,000 an ounce, a trends researcher said. "We are going to see economic times the likes of which no living person has seen," Trends Research Institute Director Gerald Celente said, forecasting a "Panic of 2008." "The bigger they are, the harder they'll fall," he said in an interview with New York's Hudson Valley Business Journal. Celente -- who forecast the subprime mortgage financial crisis and the dollar's decline a year ago and gold's current rise in May -- told the newspaper the subprime mortgage meltdown was just the first "small, high-risk segment of the market" to collapse. Derivative dealers, hedge funds, buyout firms and other market players will also unravel, he said. Massive corporate losses, such as those recently posted by Citigroup Inc. and General Motors Corp., will also be fairly common "for some time to come," he said. He said he would not "be surprised if giants tumble to their deaths," Celente said. The Panic of 2008 will lead to a lower U.S. standard of living, he said. A result will be a drop in holiday spending a year from now, followed by a permanent end of the "retail holiday frenzy" that has driven the U.S. economy since the 1940s, he said. |
Posted at 23/11/2007 11:19 by mdj8 CAD has also fallen 5% against GBP so this deal is getting more expensive for TOC. That aside both RTR and TOC will be hit by declining orders/cacellations as a result of the problems in the markets. Given we are close to December this will affect earnings far more significantly next year when the full 12 months of any cancels will be felt. |
Posted at 22/11/2007 14:44 by martinfrench MERGER IS ON SCHEDULE, BUT AS THIS TAKEOVER IS CASH AND SHARES, THOMSON PRICE HAS FALLEN OVER 10% HENCE RTR HAS.SIMPLE REALLY. |
Posted at 21/11/2007 12:09 by mdj8 Only last week Devin sent out an internal memo stating who would would be doing what in the new TOC/RTR "senior management" team, so RTR clearly think it's going ahead.....Perhaps regulatory probs? Creating a situation where there are only two major players will certainly not leave much room for competition... |
Posted at 01/11/2007 15:51 by mdj8 I'm sure the DOJ (U.S.) will be having a good look, just as they did when RTR bought what remained of Moneyline Telerate. I feel there may be some justified concerns by the authorities - the deal going through would mean an effective duopoly between RTR/TOC and Bloomberg..... |
Posted at 20/7/2007 08:00 by 2wheelerdealer Does anyone know how the increased cost of corporate debt is going to effect the takeover of rtr by thompson? |
Posted at 19/5/2007 14:55 by winwise how many people entered at 450?I did say rtr is gonna be a spark of this year,,,,however i didn t know it was because of "bid" |
