Superscape Share Discussion Threads

Arm have yet to deliver their irrevocables.....65%, still some way to go.

[hamnavoe] 25/2/2008 07:51

Glu Mobile says holds 74 pct of Superscape, to extend offer to Feb 29.

[edmondj] 25/2/2008 07:49

This bid is being handled pretty incompetently.

Even if one did want to accept, it takes nominee brokers days even weeks to sort out the administration. Are we on the road to a farcical outcome?

Earlier, I considered phoning Close, but if one doesn't trust the situation what is the point...?

RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER

by

GLU MOBILE INC.

for

SUPERSCAPE GROUP PLC

LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCES AND EXTENSION OF THE OFFER

On 25 January 2008, Glu Mobile Inc. (Glu), made a recommended cash offer for the
entire issued share capital of Superscape Group plc (Superscape). On 18
February 2008, being the first business day following the first closing date of
the Offer, the directors of Glu announced that the Offer had been extended for a
period of 7 days and therefore remained open for acceptance until 3.00 p.m.
(London time) on 22 February 2008.

The directors of Glu are pleased to announce that, as at 3.00 p.m. (London time)
on 22 February 2008, valid acceptances of the Offer had been received in respect
of a total of 120,027,767 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 65.55
per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape.

In addition, valid acceptances are pending from ARM Holdings plc in relation to
its irrevocable undertaking in respect of 14,781,850 Superscape Shares,
representing 8.07 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape.
Acceptances have also been received from other shareholders which are not yet
valid in all respects in respect of 735,775 Superscape Shares, representing 0.40
per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape. On receipt of
valid acceptances in respect of these pending acceptances, total valid
acceptances will then total 135,545,392 Superscape Shares, representing
approximately 74.0 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape.

On 23 January 2008, the directors of Glu announced that they had received
irrevocable undertakings and a letter of intent to accept the Offer in respect
of 62,186,230 Superscape Shares, representing approximately 33.96 per cent. of
the existing issued share capital of Superscape. Valid acceptances have been
received in respect of 47,404,380 of these Superscape Shares, representing 25.89
per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Superscape, and such
acceptances are included in the totals referred to above.

The directors of Glu announce that the Offer, which remains subject to the terms
and conditions set out in the Offer Document, has been extended for a further
period of 7 days and will therefore remain open for acceptance until 3.00 p.m.
(London time) on 29 February 2008.

If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects and sufficient
acceptances have been received, Glu intends to apply the provisions of sections
979 to 991 (inclusive) of the Companies Act 2006 to acquire compulsorily all
remaining Superscape Shares on the same terms as the Offer.

It is Glu's intention that, following the Offer becoming or being declared
unconditional in all respects, Glu will procure that Superscape applies to the
UK Listing Authority for the cancellation of listing of Superscape Shares on the
Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for cancellation of admission to
trading of Superscape Shares on its market for listed securities. The
cancellation of listing and admission to trading of Superscape Shares would
significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of Superscape Shares in
respect of which acceptances of the Offer are not submitted.

It is also proposed that, following the Offer becoming or being declared
unconditional in all respects, Glu will seek to procure the re-registration of
Superscape as a private limited company under the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act 2006.

Superscape Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer and who hold
Superscape Shares in certificated form are urged to complete, sign and return
the Form(s) of Acceptance by hand (during normal business hours) or by post as
soon as possible but in any event so as to be received no later than 3.00 p.m.
(London time) on 29 February 2008 by Capita Registrars at Corporate Actions, The
Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU. Additional Forms of
Acceptance are available from Capita Registrars, by telephoning 0871 664 0321
from within the UK or [phone] if calling from outside the UK. Calls to
the 0871 664 0321 number cost 10 pence per minute (including VAT) plus your
service provider's network extras. Calls to the helpline from outside the UK
will be charged at applicable international rates. Different charges may apply
to calls from mobile telephones and calls may be recorded and randomly monitored
for security and training purposes. The helpline cannot provide advice on the
merits of the Offer nor give any financial, legal or tax advice. If you hold
your Superscape Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST) you are urged
to accept the Offer by TTE Instruction as soon as possible and, in any event, so
as to be settled not later than 3.00 p.m. (London time) on 29 February 2008.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the
Offer Document dated 25 January 2008, unless the context requires otherwise.

74% of SPS shareholders are willing to accept 10p.

[ridicule] 25/2/2008 07:32

Even with the ARM commitment they only get to 74%

[paul mason] 25/2/2008 07:05

65% extended for 7 days

[the bounty hunter] 24/2/2008 12:51

There should be an announcement tomorrow of acceptances.

[trojan] 24/2/2008 11:08

Might here something on Monday again??

[parvez] 24/2/2008 11:03

anyone know what the latest acceptance for Glu is? I guess it would have to be a public announcement?

[goodgrief] 23/2/2008 15:18

If they get over 75%, they can call an EGM and take the company private.

[who needs lottery] 23/2/2008 10:47

If GLU get between 65 and 70% will they be able to officially takeover the company?

[amt] 23/2/2008 09:41

This would have been for good for Superscape, shame it got taken over. Ripp off.

[paul mason] 22/2/2008 16:51

I would be happy to have a few weeks / months of blood on the carpet and then a new board etc to move on.

[kfp] 22/2/2008 16:40

Exactley my point earlier.

[ride daice] 22/2/2008 16:14

If we see GLU off and the whole deal is dead in the water, we might see the price collapse somewhat, under which circumstances I might be inclined to buy a few more.

[abc125] 22/2/2008 15:11

Microsoft are getting into handheld gaming. If approached, they may have shown interest.

[troutisout] 22/2/2008 14:56

Same thing happening at Alltracel today, (AP.) PIs being sold down the river.

[paul mason] 22/2/2008 14:36

Looks like there is no white knight out there who wants to outbid Glu.

[ride daice] 22/2/2008 13:07

If this deal (or rather robbery) is not concluded then not only should the SPS board resign or be force to but perhaps Ballard will be under some pressure also ? Sure the derisory offer for SPS is good value for GLU shareholders but the fact that he could not get enough acceptances at the first time of asking and probably not at the second suggest to me that he is no business leader. If we had real businessmen on both sides of this, the deal could have been concluded to the satisfaction of all stakeholders, rather than the one sided shambles that it is about to become.

[brokeroad] 22/2/2008 12:48

I can't see GLU increasing their offer without a rival bid. Can someone think of an example where the original offer has been increased, in similar circumstances to ours ?

[helen troy] 22/2/2008 12:41

abc, IMO they won't get more than 65%

We'll know Monday.

I don't think the bid price is significant. There is too little volume. Remember, GLU have not committed to buying any shares yet. Also, if they buy in the market, they would probably have to issue a notice.

On Monday, if it is sub 65%, then it will be a lapse or increase offer scenario. As I see it, GLU will have been out some dosh to make the bid. If it lapses, they will not get any break money from SPS. One wuld think it would be in their interest to increase the offer. What would it take for KBC to give their 5% for a quick profit? What would UBS sell out for, given that they are probably sitting on a loss? What would the dissenters sell out for?
Lots of questions, and still an interesting situation.

'why no EPT Disclosure or Rule 8.3 today. There has been at least 1 every day since SPS announced they were going to stitch up the shareholders'

Do you think that is significant?

[abc125] 22/2/2008 12:14

Hot...do you think they will get to the magic 75%?.....(and wouldn't the bid price have moved up a bit today if that was the case?)
