Wow, that is sick. Also surely illegal, or are we supposed to believe they had no knowledge of Alibaba's interest prior to the delisting?

[zangdook] 20/12/2012 14:37:57

Hm

So in Dec 2010 they bought back 26.7% of the company for £3,537,762.72, and then in Feb 2011 they sold 25% to Alibaba for 170m RMB, or about £17m.

The filty barstewards!

'pending an announcement'

is that announcement that the directors are in on a scheme to take shareholders' assets on the cheap?

[zangdook] 01/12/2010 13:48:24

but 'temporarily'? 'pending an announcement'? I wonder if the office junior used the wrong RNS template.

[sir rational] 01/12/2010 07:34:52

What's this about then?

[gazza102] 26/10/2010 14:26:30

I take it those that are selling now missed the tender offer.

[equitydealer007] 25/10/2010 18:51:22

nevermind this now...best look for the next vehicle......TSEG imo is about to explode...DYOR..poss multi-bagger

[zangdook] 16/10/2010 10:55:33

I don't think so, unless you want a share in an untradable company with corporate governance issues which might compulsorily purchase your shares in a few months, for the same price you could get now.

Then again they may go on to greatness and relist somewhere else.

I think that there are enough other, liquid opportunities to go into that I don't want to keep funds tied up here. If you like China and software, there's GNG which seems more solid and is also very cheap.

So what are people doing? I'm with HSBC and have till midday Monday to decide. Is there any point in holding onto them?

[zangdook] 11/10/2010 16:37:53

For those planning to hold - CBI did a compulsory purchase on remaining stock after their tender. Don't know if these guys will do the same but it's worth bearing in mind. Same price but extra delay.

[davidosh] 11/10/2010 16:23:40

I have picked up another 75k at 7.24p as well. Naturally I will be tendering them at 8p and although there is always an element of risk until the cash is back in your account. However this does look like a reasonable risk/reward scenario for a 10% return that annualised must equate to nearly 60% yield so worth the gamble.

Fingers crossed and will help me to feel better about the fact that I was expecting to see 12p plus from this investment within a year when I first bought in June.

[gazza102] 11/10/2010 15:32:36

Question - people that are buying are they doing so to sell their shares at the tender price of 8p.

Why are the shares not nearer to 8p to buy?

[stewjames] 07/10/2010 13:58:44

kappa3, I meant it's nuts to be selling in the market instead of tendering.

[gazza102] 07/10/2010 13:05:57

Just tendered my shares - Roll on the 3rd Decemebr for my money

[kappa3] 06/10/2010 08:03:32

If we don't sell at this low offer than we loose everything as the shares can't be traded

[stewjames] 05/10/2010 21:10:34

gazza, I agree. It's nuts to be selling unless you're really, really desperate for the money.

[gazza102] 05/10/2010 15:57:00

Zangdook - 7p into PMHL maybe 8p but not guarenteed.

I take it the MM's will sell your shares to the tender offer at 8p they bought cheaply from you for a nice profit!

7p to 8p - 14% rise for 2 months waiting.

[zangdook] 05/10/2010 14:19:18

A very disappointing timetable here. By comparison CBI opened its tender on June 11, closed it on June 25, held its EGM on July 6 and handed over the cash on July 14. I know SFT need a court hearing, but couldn't they have got it together a little faster? No wonder the share price is falling.
