Total "buy," target price raised

Monday, January 30, 2006 6:50:54 AM ET
ING Financial Markets

LONDON, January 30 (newratings.com) - Analysts at ING Financial Markets maintain their "buy" rating on Total (PFP.PSE). The target price has been raised from €240 to €254.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company's final dividend for the current year is expected at €6.5 per share, exhibiting a 20% rise relative to 2004. According to the analysts, Total's returns are likely to benefit from Arkema's spin-off during May and the former company's share buybacks are expected to be bolstered by the sell-down of capital reserves of €14 billion in Sanofi-Aventis from 2007 onwards.

Total SA oil company to go to trial in France for 1999 oil spill, officials say       

By Pierre-Antoine Souchard
ASSOCIATED PRESS


6:19 a.m. February 3, 2006


PARIS – French oil company Total SA will face trial in Paris for its suspected role in a 1999 oil spill that blackened large swaths of the coast of western France, judicial officials said Friday. The Maltese-registered "Erika" tanker, hauling fuel oil owned by a unit of Total, split in two and sank in rough seas in December 1999.

The judge investigating the case has ordered the company to go on trial but has not yet set a date, judicial officials said. The officials did not want to be named because the case is ongoing.

The oil company faces charges of "pollution" and "complicity in endangering people and property," the officials said. Judicial officials say the boat was corroded and had cracks in it, and that Total should have noticed when it chartered the ship.

At least 10,000 tons of oil leaked into the sea and washed up on the region's coastline, killing thousands of birds and leaving beaches coated with tarry oil.

Others to be brought before the court in the case include Italian company Registro Italiano Navale, or RINA, which had inspected the vessel before it sank; Erika's owner Giuseppe Savarese; Erika's captain Karun Mathur; and Antonio Pollara, an official with the Italian company Panship who was in charge of technical assistance.

Two Total units, Total Petroleum and Total Transports, will also be tried. The oil company did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Just had an email from P.Gregory informing me. You have the following shares in Tspeak UK Ltd:
289 Class B Ordinary Shares Class B shares provide a number of benefits
Class B shares will entitle you to a share in any future profit the company pays out through dividends.

Class B shares will entitle you to a share in the proceeds if Tspeak UK Ltd is ever sold.

If the company goes on to a recognised market such as OFEX or AIM Class B shares will be given voting rights.

If the company goes on to a recognised market Class B shares will rank identically with Class A shares (shares for founders and management). This means they will have identical value to Class A shares.

Yes I have received notification. Yes I have registered. Yes you are porbably right ...... right them off

[stewjames] 19/7/2002 15:35

Do you still have a totalise e-mail address, wynmallen? If so, check your inbox. They're issuing some weird type of 'C' shares to previous holders. Almost certainly you'll never see a penny back but you DEFINITELY won't if you don't visit the site to claim them.

[wynmallen] 19/7/2002 14:08

Is there any more news.

Long shot I thought I would ask if any one had any information. ?PLEASE ??

New message from PG:



Dear All,

We are trying to fix a number of issues prior to coming out with some suitably definitive statement. Some of the issues have been described on the boards here which we are aware of. We are keen not to start promoting before our "ducks" are in a row.

The mail server is hopefully fixed now. There is a small issue with the "oldmail.totalise.co.uk" but this should be sorted early tomorrow.

We are in the process of moving to new premises. The share structure for newco has just about been decided on, as has the focus for the group
going forward.

Regards to you all,

Peter

They seem to be upgrading some of their equipment. Should be sorted out fairly quickly. Should also mean an improved service (hopefully)


Work has started with upgrading of the email system:

[pparkin405] 16/5/2002 08:27

Anyone found it impossible to get the Totalise web page or know anything other than going into administration, thanks in advance

[wjordan] 12/5/2002 21:23

Sadly, that Friday deadline was missed. Should be something by end of the month though. At this stage probably an update with respect to how the business is doing rather than with any details of share allocation in Spans Partners I would have thought.

Comform, who may or may not be linked with the company now have hinted (and at this stage it really is just a cryptic hint) that the Eurekar side of the business is doing very well and is a 'player', implying that it could also be subject to a bid (just as Dixon motors has been bought up by RBoS). If this is true. I would have thought that investors could see a pay-day. We wait with baited breath.

[excilescot] 08/5/2002 00:18

Any news wjordan?

[wjordan] 01/5/2002 15:04

Update on state of play will be out on Friday

[excilescot] 01/5/2002 09:45

Any news on Totalise?
