Breaking: Quindell in sale talks with Slater & Gordon
22 January 2015By John Hyde

Listed legal services provider Quindell has confirmed it is in talks with international firm Slater & Gordon about the sale of one of its businesses.

Quindell made the announcement, entitled ‘press speculation’ to the London Stock Exchange this afternoon.

The company announced on 2 January it was in talks with a buyer about selling a section of the business.

The statement said: ‘Quindell announced it had entered into exclusivity arrangements in respect of the possible disposal of an operating division of the group.

‘The company notes the speculation concerning the identity of the third party and can confirm that Slater & Gordon Limited (S&G) is the party referred to in previous announcements.

‘There can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to an offer for, or the disposal of, an operating division of the group.’

Slater & Gordon, which is listed on the Australian stock exchange, has been relatively quiet since a rush of mergers after it first arrived in the UK with the takeover of Russell Jones & Walker in 2012. The latest merger with Pannone will see the Manchester firm rebranded in March.

The group reported in its annual financial report last year that it had 1,300 employees in the UK, up from 425 when it first arrived in this country.

Quindell has built a significant legal services division through the acquisitions of Abstract Legal Holdings, the parent company of Accident Advice Helpline, personal injury firms The Compensation Lawyers, Silberbeck Rymer and Pinto Potts, and costs firm Compass Costs.

The group suffered a difficult 2014, with a negative report from analyst Gotham City Research, the failure to achieve a premium listing and the resignation of management figures all sending the share price tumbling.

Since the turn of the year, the value has somewhat recovered, and it has been boosted still by the news of the Slater & Gordon interest, with the share price today rising 16.25p to 121.5p – an increase of more than 15%.

Quindell Plc


Press speculation



Quindell Plc (AIM: QPP.L) announces that, contrary to speculation, the exclusivity arrangements with Slater & Gordon Limited in respect of the possible disposal of an operating division of the Group ("Exclusivity") continue and discussions are on-going.



There can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to an offer for, or the disposal of, an operating division of the Group. The Company will make an announcement if the Exclusivity terminates in the future.

Quindell insists Slater & Gordon talks still on as share price tanks 20 per cent
by Catherine Neilan
2 February 2015 12:56pm

Quindell has moved to reassure investors that talks are still ongoing with legal giant Slater & Gordon after its share price tanked this morning.

The troubled insurance claims processor, whose share price had been rallying since the start of the year, saw its share price fall by as much as 20 per cent today.

Following this, Quindell released a statement to the market saying: “contrary to speculation, the exclusivity arrangments with Slater & Gordon in respect of the possible disposal of an operating division of the group continue, and discussions are on-going”.

It added that there “can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to an offer” but said it would make an announcement if the talks were called off in future.

The share price has recovered slightly, though was still down 14.2 per cent at 72.5p. At its peak the share price was 656p.

Still, the outsourcer will be hoping to be leaving the woes of 2014 behind. Last year Quindell's share price plummeted after claims were made against it by shadowy analyst firm called Gotham City.

It was subsequently plagued by a series of problems that saw its share price dwindle even further, and by the end of the year, chairman and founder Rob Terry had resigned, as had its broker, Canaccord Genuity, while investor Fidelity halved its stake.

On reports that it was in talks with Slater & Gordon last month, however, its share price soared 15 per cent.

Who we are

Slater and Gordon is a leading consumer law firm in Australia with a growing presence in the United Kingdom (UK) consumer law market. We employ 1,200 people in 70 locations across Australia and 1,300 people in 18 locations in the UK.

i would not want to be out of qpp this weekend!!


1. Slater and Gordon are interested in putting in an offer for the Quindell Legal Services division.

2. S&G have an exclusivity period to formalise their offer.

3. Mr Grech, S&G CEO arrives from Australia this week to attend meeting with Quindell.

4. S&G business update due 10th February 2015

Questions

a) If the CEO intends to be in Australia for an S&G business update on the 10th February, why would Mr Grech fly from Australia to the UK now?

Would anybody travel for four days in a six-day period if didn’t believe a deal was going to happen?

b) Is it possible to give an update on the S&G business on the 10th February without mentioning a potential deal with Quindell that will potentially double the size of the business?

c) Would the most senior person in S&G meet with Quindell before an outline deal had been agreed in principle?

The ducks are all lining up nicely for an announcement regarding the Quindell and S&G deal soon.

Just to clarify that Post 30 from deltazero is taken from a blog, link below:

http://quindellecho.com/2015/02/05/slater-gordon-deal-moving-to-the-final-stages/

'The retail investor favourite Quindell climbed 6.5p to 76p amid hopes that a deal with the Australian law firm Slater & Gordon to offload part of its legal arm could soon be hatched. Slater & Gordon reports half-year results next Tuesday and investors believe this will bring with it an update on talks. Rumours are circulating in the City that executives from Australia have also flown in this week to cast an eye over the books of the claims-handling business.'

Insurance companies are getting left behind in the data revolution
Carolyn Cohn, Reuters
Feb. 16, 2015

LONDON (Reuters) - At a time the financial sector is racing to embrace digital technology to boost sales and drive profits, the traditionally staid insurance industry is in danger of falling behind.

Some insurers are using developments such as telematics, or social media sources, to increase the amount of information they have about customers to reduce claims and theoretically make insurance cheaper for all.

Telematics uses aircraft-style "black boxes" that have been in Formula One racing cars for years to collect data about how policyholders drive their cars, so they can be rewarded with lower insurance premiums if they adopt a cautious style.

But an industry that has long relied on personal contacts, the Lloyd's of London insurance market started in a coffee house in the 17th century, has not been quick to embrace new technology or mine vast new data sets, known as "Big Data".

The reluctance to roll out technology with the same enthusiasm as banks and some investment managers is partly cultural, partly financial.

"Compared to many other industries, (insurers) are still playing catch-up. The sector has a very traditional culture." said Catherine Barton, partner at EY.

Staff at Lloyd's, home to more than 90 trading syndicates in London's financial district, still trundle suitcases of claim forms for complex insurance transactions.

Function rooms in its flagship building are furnished with antiques, while besuited underwriters swap ideas in local pubs and restaurants when the market closes for lunch.



STATUS QUO

Lloyd's Chief Executive Inga Beale has said the industry needs to take technology on board to maintain its role in global business. The firm recently appointed a Chief Data Officer and Beale said the sector needs to attract new, tech-savvy talent.

Insurers already carry plenty of data about policyholders, and have started mining sources such as Facebook, to cut fraud or better estimate customers' claims.

But a mass of different systems, often the legacy of firms being swallowed up by bigger insurers, makes it hard to streamline technology. Some firms have chosen the status quo.

"I have a very jaundiced view of the generation behind me, they are too reliant on technology," one broker told Reuters. "I don't believe this (face-to-face approach) will disappear."

Even if firms want to harness technology, they may be unwilling to commit cash. Insurers are struggling to balance their books, with bond yields at record lows and slashing the returns they make on investing premiums.



TRENDSETTERS

A report from Morgan Stanley and Boston Consulting Group says the first movers will reap bigger spoils.

They say a full transformation to becoming a digital company could cut an insurer's combined ratio by 21 percentage points, in other words making the firm more profitable. Expenses could fall by 10 percent of premiums and claims by 8 percent.

Germany's Allianz is highlighted in the report as a good example of a traditional insurer working to enhance its digital capabilities and transform its business model.

It is investing 400-500 million euros a year in digital initiatives such as setting up an innovation lab to work with young companies on Big Data, mobile, social media and sponsorship, the report said.

Others are focusing on telematics, one of the industry's brightest innovations. Britain's RSA has a telematics product and underwrites business for specialist telematics insurer Ingenie. Direct Line also does telematics.

Belgian insurer Ageas, which has a British division and writes insurance for firms such as Tesco Bank, also underwrites Ingenie's telematics car insurance, while Progressive is a frontrunner in the United States.

Still, the benefits sometimes seem unclear and the use of telematics remains low. Britain, Italy and the United States are among the most developed markets, but penetration is 3.5 percent in Italy, 2.5 percent in Britain and just 1 percent worldwide.

The black boxes are expensive for the insurer to fit into cars, only making it worthwhile for young or inexperienced drivers, whose policies are more expensive. Some insurers are waiting for the cost of the boxes to fall, or for alternatives such as mobile phone apps or Internet-connected cars.



TOO EXPENSIVE

British insurer Aviva was one of the first to introduce telematics. Policyholders had 30 percent fewer accidents and premiums fell by the same amount.

Aviva has since pulled out because it was costing too much to buy and install the boxes, but it now offers discounts to drivers using mobile apps to monitor their driving habits.

The technology has also not yet arrived for telematics to be used in markets beyond motor insurance.

New uses for telematics could include an oven that tells your house insurer it has been left on, or a smartwatch that tells your health insurer if your blood pressure is too high.

"In the next few years, we'll see a lot of change in (the way) technology will impact pricing," said Rudi Van Delm, director for pricing and underwriting at Direct Line.

But until that technology becomes more cost-effective, insurers focused on retail consumers may invest more in their online presence and use of price comparison sites.

Even with the prospect of technological advances, insurers say there is still a need for human interaction.

Inside the "Walkie-Talkie" building, one of London's newest skyscrapers, RSA offers its telematics-based insurance but also provides a meeting room where brokers can mingle and do business the old-fashioned way.

"More complex and more large-scale products are always reliant on some form of relationship management and negotiation," said Tim Skates, RSA's chief technology officer.
