ZPG Share Discussion Threads

[pete160] 23/5/2018 09:18

Hello Hopper,
I was going to suggest Equiniti Shareview (as I think they are the registrars) and it's where my ZPG shares have been held since float - but in my name rather than the co. name (my partners didn't want to be involved in the float).

As you say, a high street bank will likely take a handsome % based fee and that is once you've gone through opening an account, money laundering, sending off the paper certificates, etc, etc.

Whilst nothing is certain, my view is that this deal will definitely get done (daily mail is a 30% shareholder and has already 'irrevocably' agreed) and the proposed timescale for completion is, I believe, 3rd quarter of this year - so not too long to wait imo, given the potential hassle for opening an account to sell them in the market and then presumably close the account.

Even if the market in general drops 20-30% I think the deal will still go through.
If the market dropped 40-50% without a recovery then they may look to renegotiate or choose /be forced to withdraw.

Hope that helps?

Can anyone recommend a broker who will sell my ZPG shares? They are owned by the directors of my company and held in the name of the company. AJ Bell, HL, won't Equiniti won't and said I need to use a Bank!!!! who will kindly "rip-me-off". Alternatively, I can wait until the agreed bid & cash offer compulsorily purchases them, which isn't too far away.

Well played oxman !

400p just a matter of time now.

With decent earnings momentum these seem very unloved. Scope for a strong bounce from 325p area.

I'll let you know when I sell Snakehips. It should go up then :(

One of the quietest threads in the known universe! I had higher hopes for ZPG but switched out on 24th May at 381p. Not sure if it will ever clear 400p again but I will keep an eye on events. In the meantime there are better internet opportunites elsewhere.

Bit of news -

"ZPG Plc (LSE:ZPG) ("ZPG") which owns and operates some of the UK's most trusted home-related digital platforms including Zoopla, uSwitch, PrimeLocation, Hometrack and Property Software Group welcomes the decision by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to clear ZPG's acquisition of Websky Limited ("Expert Agent").

The property software sector in the UK is well-served by numerous players offering strong and effective competition. With this matter concluded we can now progress with our plans to integrate Expert Agent into the wider ZPG business and to deliver the related benefits for all our customers."

No one in these????

[suedoughty] 07/2/2017 08:46

ZPG is the new ticker symbol for Zoopla, not Zero Preference whatever. Other broker sirtes have updated and it is time ADVFN got the message

Glynne,

Received likewise. The credit to my account on Tuesday of the 75p per Zero, sent a warm glow. A disappointing result for Growth shareholders, but the risk was always there.

Just got to re-invest the money sensibly now.

Quite fancy a few JDTZ, but would like to buy them below 70p.

Over and out here, but sure to see you on some other thread.

I just got 1.318p for the zpg element of my units.

Well, the portfolio has been all but liquidated, and hopefully the final £550K of Zeros can be sold at close to valuation.

In any event it looks as if Growth shareholders are only going to get around 1p for their shares which is a disappointing result. I did mention some time back that the period in the run-up to liquidation was crucial, so the downturn in markets, and especially the holding in REO have resulted in a likely payout below my expectations.

Still, as a holder of Units, my payout is likely to be around 4% below hopes. Given the fall in equity markets, I think that is still a decent result.

With little left to say, I will bade goodbye to posters, and wish the Canaries a successful season, albeit minus 6 points to the Blues.

Glynne,

I' don't think they have sold REOP. I spoke to REO's brokers today, and they said there is a lot of stock around.

I haven't had a look at ECW for a long time.

Tilton,
REOP keeps going down which cannot help our cause. US Sp Opps zeros will have been repaid. Do you think ZPG still holds REOP? I am hoping for some bounce in REOP after August.
OT, Have you looked at ECWC and the windup offer in Apr09 ?

[tiltonboy] 02/7/2008 09:38

Given the rate of descent of REOP, it may be a struggle to even pay the full entitlement of the Zero's, let alone any payment to the Growth holders.

[glynnef] 17/6/2008 21:32

They are clearly liquidating the portfolio to a greater or lesser extent. perhaps they do not want to announce a fire sale ?? 3p would be OK.

GF.

[tiltonboy] 16/6/2008 16:31

Disappointing drop in the NAV over the past couple of weeks. Debt has now been repaid, but I'm surprised no announcement has been made about the wind-up.

3p is definately looking optimistic for the growth shares now.

[tiltonboy] 09/5/2008 22:38

poacher,

I thought the Canaries might have a decent season, in what looked a very ordinary division. We will deserve to go down, if we do, as we haven't performed when it matters, against the teams at the bottom. It's all well and good to have played the top four eight times and ended up with a goal difference of minus 4, but if you can't beat those around you, you are stuffed.

As for ZPG, and in particular REOP, I warned some time back that prices might not move in time for wind-up. REOP look cheap, even given difficult market conditions, but will they move before August 9th...I wouldn't bet on it.

I am still here, but nothing to report. Holding ZPGZ and ZPGU, as well as REOP.

Heard a report on the radio that Irish commercial property is not as healthy as it was, so perhaps that's the problem. No detail or backup for that though.

I can't see REOP moving if everyone thinks ZPG are going to have to sell in August.

GF.

I bet you are praying this weekend anyway best of luck and I hope you get a decent referee. The standards seem to have hit new lows this year not that it would have altered our position that much.
With the bank rate dropping the asset value seems to be holding in zpg be it at a low level. The fly in the ointment seems to be real estate zeros which are not moving even though there cover is a lot better now. Have you got any thoughts on real estate zeros?
