Whoever has just bought 100 shares at 47.865p can buy mine as well if they want! :-)

[mrbt] 06/7/2010 16:28

That was a big sell 3,800,000

[restassured] 06/7/2010 15:23

Yes I have not sold any of mine,just in case.

[tom306] 06/7/2010 15:08

If a better bid is received in the meantime, the court will not sanction the scheme of arrangement and it will start all over again! Seems very strange that Blackrock are still buying at the offer price?

[restassured] 06/7/2010 13:58

Blackrock bought again.


Presumably this is open season until the following has occurred.......


"In order to become effective in accordance with its terms, the Court must now
sanction the Scheme at the Scheme Hearing on 26 July 2010 and confirm the
Reduction at the Reduction Hearing on 28 July 2010."

Annoyed at the low price and wanted to stay with these for future growth and a higher price but glad i bought some when they were only 10p, just wish i bought a lot more though. Still im in for a profit but not what i was hoping for.
The thing is now to look at what else we can buy that has future potential and im sure there`s a lot of tech stocks worth looking at. Maybe something like Densitron (DSN). Any thoughts. ?

[major courtenay] 05/7/2010 22:05

I voted against, but I'm about as small as a small shareholder can get. :0/

Anyhow, best of luck to all, and I must admit to being rather glad to have a little extra wonga coming in. Does anyone know a likely timeframe for payments?

MC.

[humbagash] 05/7/2010 20:33

I wonder how many complainers actually voted against :o(

[samsingh] 05/7/2010 16:09

Good to know you all, we have been robbed by Traffic

[topvest] 05/7/2010 16:02

Robbed - no. Great exit price - no. Good turnaround in last 2 years - most definitely. On balance, happy to exit Trafficmaster.

[wikroberts] 05/7/2010 16:01

Is it now too late for a third party to step in or not yet?

[tratante] 05/7/2010 16:00

You too Rest and others. Now we have to decide what to do with the proceeds. Best of luck everyone, may bump into you again elsewhere.

[daveys] 05/7/2010 15:34

Robbed!!
R.I.P.

[restassured] 05/7/2010 15:33

Well it was nice knowing you all farewell

[sdavis] 05/7/2010 15:32

What a shame. Another one bites the dust.

Result of Court and General Meeting


On 2 June 2010, the Company announced a recommended cash offer by Vector Capital
Limited for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company, to

Trafficmaster Shareholders on 11 June 2010. Unless otherwise stated, defined

Scheme Circular.

The Company is now pleased to announce that at the Court Meeting and General
Meeting held earlier today to approve the Scheme and associated matters, all
resolutions were passed.
At the Court Meeting, the required majority in number of those Scheme

and associated Reduction and the Ordinary Resolution to approve the Management
Arrangements were both passed by way of a poll. The voting of those Scheme
Shareholders who cast votes either in person or by proxy at the General Meeting
was as follows:

The first meeting at 11.30 was the court meeting to approve the scheme.

The second to be held immediately after was the board meeting.

Both held at the law offices of Pinsent Masons.


The first meeting would only take minutes,whether or not they had the required number of votes.



Is there a plan B?

[tom306] 05/7/2010 15:18

and that didn't start until 12 noon. Perhaps some shareholders turned up today and had questions for the board.

[restassured] 05/7/2010 15:14

Deal or no Deal?


At the recent AGM they produced an RNS by 2.30pm

[restassured] 05/7/2010 14:27

Surely if this and all gone through they would have made an announcement straight away?

They had the results of the vote by 11.30 am

[mrbt] 05/7/2010 14:26

very quiet

[restassured] 05/7/2010 11:45

tap tap tap,where is the RNS?

Court meeting was 11.30 am

Gerd what is your nap for the rest of the year?

[gerdmuller] 05/7/2010 11:28

I think it will go through. There has been no lead from any major shareholder so I can only assume they are happy with the bid.

All is not negative though in that many decent looking companies are down to decent levels again in the past few weeks. So you can now buy at 15 or 20 percent lower than before the bid.

But it looks like US PE wins again.

[tratante] 05/7/2010 11:26

What's the form in these situations? If it is voted down can the buyer come back immediately with a better offer. Clutching at straws of course!
