Sepura Share Discussion Threads

Very few posters wanted to focus or even acknowledge the warnings, directors sales, Henderson daily sales, PWC warning...even now, no one has mentioned the conditions attached to the offer in section 6 (printed in red).

And on what information was it sold to the directors? If they were told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why did it all go so astonishingly wrong? Perhaps they were just grossly incompetent? Or, unlikely as it may seem, might they have been either negligent or complicit in some way? And if what they were told wasn't true, why are they so happy to live with the consequences?

Am I the only one who feels as though maybe it didn't all happen completely by accident?

Must be litigation being considered by some here that stumped up the £60,000,000 odd at the 35p per share only a few months ago and now getting back 20p. Buyer beware and all that but on what information was the deal sold to investors?

jay - 'have they been deceived'? It's the existence of so many such questions that makes me wonder why the shareholders are being so supine. The board too. Are they making a profit somewhere else?

Ref peanuts - look back at the Liberum deals and the margins they were happy (I assume, since they continued doing it) to make - fractions of a penny - that's just how some hedgies operate.

What also doesn't make sense is there was some rather large buys on Friday is there someone else interested and the bod are not showing the full picture I mean why would you buy at 19.25p to make peanuts at 20p...pi's sell whilst people in the know buy absolutely scandalous we are watching....

[jayrh] 18/12/2016 21:24

185 million shares were bought at 35p 4 to 5 months ago have these particular share holders been deceived. The numptys that call themselves the bod reckon 20p is a good deal let's call an egm and get rid of the them....

jay - good question. My two questions are

1 - why isn't private equity interested in this potential turnround situation? If the Chinese can make money out of it, why can't the bright boys of Wall Street?

2 - where are the lawyers? There surely has to be somebody who thinks somebody else has done the dirty...

How can a company need funds when 60 mill was raised this year. Where as this money gone...

[mink94] 16/12/2016 16:09

Another high value post from Longshanks. Suggest you get back to propoing up the nearest bar....

[apfindley] 16/12/2016 15:41

Strange that henderson were selling loads around 20p in the last couple weeks.Check their rns's it shows the prices of their sales.

[nigelmoat] 16/12/2016 12:47

Lots of buyers. Some expectation of further bid/bids?

[shroder] 16/12/2016 11:51

Couldn't agree more Bakunin, what on earth have management been up to since the placing?

[bakunin] 16/12/2016 11:33

Yet another shining example of British management in action.
Destroyed hundreds of millions of value in months. CEO goes around riding high-performance motorbikes because he doesn't know how to spend his earnings.
The Chinese must be totally bemused at the amounts that the ranks of management take out of British companies.
Oh that they could take control of our public services as well.

[ohdearohdearohdear] 16/12/2016 11:15

Is nobody going to thank me for trying to show them the light?

Dear oh dear. Such bad losers ;-)

[l0ngshanks] 16/12/2016 10:28

It would seem that HYTERA and Henderson have the same valuation model. Notwithstanding, 20p is a steal and the directors of Sepura should be ashamed for their part in destroying 90% of shareholder value.

[shroder] 16/12/2016 10:25

The unquantifiable risk is still the regulators, if kicked back then the company will need funds.

[mortimer7] 16/12/2016 10:23

I wonder when the major shareholders (other than directors) were privy to the 20p offer & as such, did this make them insiders?

[gary38] 16/12/2016 09:48

Sold at a little lost as not waiting around here while my money is stuck here till 20p deal may or not be done with such a small possible reward.

[1gw] 16/12/2016 09:28

Disappointing the level of the offer, but at least it's an offer.

So I've bought 2 more chunks this morning below 20p, nearly doubling my holding.

As I see it there is quite a high probability of getting 20p back.

And there's a smaller but still (in my opinion) significant chance of getting a lot more than 20p if another bidder comes in.

So as an "option" this feels to me very undervalued with the share price below the Hytera offer price.

[nakedsteve] 16/12/2016 09:21

Ohdearodearohdear where has he gone. I miss him predicting 22p offer. He has been saying all along many times a day for quite a while but seems to have disappeared. No doubt he will have taken out another massive short this afternoon. I really am missing his hot air, seems strange he has disappeared.

[fission453] 16/12/2016 08:56

apfindley...guess you have got your karma!

[ohdearohdearohdear] 16/12/2016 08:49

ohdearohdearohdear.

You were warned. Time and time again. But you preferred to listen to the clueless rampers. The good news is that an offer has been made, so the share price will not dump below 10p.......today. Unless the very generous offer is turned down of course.
