Xplorer Share Discussion Threads

Our daily discussions with Sprint Capital have enabled us jointly to examine a good number of attractive candidates and I am happy to report that we have shortened our list to four and have commenced acquisition negotiations with each of them.

I can't see the shares dipping. The company and its broker seem to have the market in the shares under control. Word has it that when the school holidays are over, background activity will start towards a deal.

My understanding is end of September....

Interesting share this. Bit of a gamble but have dipped my toe in. Like the fact it's on the main market and has some good backing. Time will tell.

My understanding is that a FTSE 350 deal is coming in and the HK fund manager Sprint Capital is splitting the promote 50/50 with the public float in XPL - I was told to expect, by an informed source, at least 4X uplift from these levels - possibly a lot more! I bought a further 100,000 at around 17p.

LM what deal and where are the details?

the last rns said they had narrowed their search down to 3 - raised 1 mill gbp at 16p and are currently running a 2.5 mill market cap....

Strong news just released by Xplorer: Jupiter Asset Management has just revealed its 11% shareholding in the stock. I think we may see that other professional funds have backed the recent IPO.

[snickerdog] 17/7/2013 11:33

Must say that the other thread somewhat misleading, this is fully listed.

I got some via TDW but not through selftrade. I have some s/trade funds waiting so hope it's not too long. I like the prospects here.

[showmethemoney123] 12/7/2013 14:10

This is backed by a multi-billion dollar HK natural resources special situations fund who have invested hundreds of US$ millions and are looking here for assets capable of FTSE 350 indexation. Considerable upside from here imho.

[ryan83] 12/7/2013 12:14

LM, why would they agree a deal at 100p unless there is a re-organisation of shares?

[antontsar] 12/7/2013 11:23

Good Morning,
For those who didn't read the Times yesterday, what appeared was a useful summary as to that newspaper's expectations and I set out below the copy:

"A shell company making its debut in London today is promising a hefty transaction before the year end to catapult it into the FTSE 350.

"Xplorer, listed on the main market, not AIM, raised £1 million by selling shares to fund managers and the well-to-do at 16p each. That will pay for due diligence to be carried out on a deal.
"It is backed by Sprint Capital, a Hong Kong based private equity group which specialises in natural resources and holds 17 per cent of Xplorer.
"Sprint has a portfolio of candidates to inject into Xplorer, but an oil and gas production company is thought to be the favourite.
"Two Sprint directors - Chris McAuliffe and Jacqui Lim - sit on Xplorer's board. According to John Davies, the Chairman of Xplorer and a former Lehman Brothers and BearStearns investment banker with 30 years' experience, Sprint stands ready to back a significant transaction"

I hope this is useful.

And showmethemoney123 if a deal has really been agreed at 100p!?!?!

[showmethemoney123] 12/7/2013 08:38

I have bought some of these in the Placing. It is backed by Sprint Capital a HK based PE fund who seem to have an excellent pedigree/track record.
