..and then having lunch together?

Talking of lunch anyone know how many of us will be at the EGM.Tony were you compiling a list?

You, me, Baz & Oily. Should be a very quiet EGM !

Actually I would be surprised not to see others I know but who probably prefer not to announce being there - or being associated with us!

Anyone else going and would like to join us for a post mortem drink or lunch?
Let me know your code name (here or tonyrelaxes@hotmail.com ) and there will be name labels for recognition afterwards.

I did ask PM if he was going to attend but he said he was "far to busy at verk",so there we go.

Mad Pad

You have an e-mail arriving very soon.

The oily one

Oily reply sent .I'm off out so if you have anything to say I will pick it up later.

Can't make the EGM due to work commitments and distance, but hope all those attending have a good day. Looking forward to reading the posts from those who are attending.

On 9 October 2006, Stanelco announced details of a proposed Firm Placing of
1,375,000,000 New Ordinary Shares and Open Offer of 600,992,559 New Ordinary

Shares were being placed subject to clawback to satisfy valid acceptances under
the Open Offer.



The Open Offer has now closed in accordance with its terms. The Board of

received from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 461,869,833 Open Offer

As a result of the acceptances received under the Open Offer, the balance of
139,121,895 Open Offer Shares, representing 93.83 per cent. of the 148,278,000
New Ordinary Shares placed subject to clawback, have been allocated to the
institutional investors with whom they had been conditionally placed.

Result of Open Offer:

Nearly 77% has been taken up.

Remainder taken by institutions equivalent to nearly 94% of original allocation.

By my calculations, there is a discrepancy of 831 shares but this will doubtless come out in the wash.

Anyone entitled to 831 shares - or been given 831 too many ?

Alfa.

So they just squeaked home with about 10m shares of the open offer spare not required to be placed. Hardly a resounding success, but fair enough in the circs of a good many PI's being roundy PIssed off with SEO.

Anyway the full 15.8m raised, so we can now proceed to contract on all those mystery loi's - or should I say lol's?

stockdog - Don't forget that costs are 1.4M so max of 14.4M is available.

alfalfa - I know, just referring to the gross raise, thanks.

SD - Unless I am missing something I don't see your "just squeaked home".

The shares have all gone!

Albeit some shareholders didn't take up about 1.1million's worth of shares that have been allocated (snapped up?) by the Institutions who had already paid 11million.

Therefore SEO get every penny they asked for. A resounding success?

Now for Monday....

And on Monday, hopefully, we will know what the Institutions knew (or were told) at their private presentations after which they paid up their 11m and keen to get a further 10% today.

They had better make this 15m the last cos I for one will not be putting my hand in pocket to save them again! Q.

Word deleted by Moderator.

tonyrelaxes - if existing shareholders had subscribed for 10m shares less, it would have ben undersubscribed at less than the full amount - 10m out of 600m open offer is a small margin to cover by IMO.

Instis weren't "keen to get a further 10% today", they were obliged to pick up what PI's did not want - get real.

However, as you say they are home and dry with full raise achieved. So onwards and upwards (let's face it, there ain't much room on the chart for the other direction!)

SD
Institutions are only hard nosed, self serving, organisations with no sentiment and they were not, as you say, "obliged to pick up" a single share or spend a single penny.
But they did.
And to the extent of 11m - now 12.1m.

That is what I call 'getting real' !

Now to find out why ...

I'm with Tony on this one.
Further we can now write going bust out of our forecasts. After all, the money is raised subject to the vote, which is now a foregone conclusion. Nobody is going to buy more shares under the offer and then vote against the offer, so perhaps SEO can now get on with revealing detail and making us all as rich as creosote.
I hope so.
Alan

May be nowt, but........
Just been on the SEO site and on the home page it talks about the GS agreement with Asda. Can't remember if it ever said the exclusivity with Asda would be waived on first commercial installation, as all the RNS have said, but it now says the exclusivity has been waived, not will be.
Like i say, probably nowt..........
alan

Alan,

As I remember it, it did previously state WOULD be waived, but the word HAS is certainly a big difference. Could be yet another detail confirmed at the EGM.
So yes may be nowt but???
