UP SHE GOES

host europe in talks with pipex which may lead to an offer for the company....is this good news....

not at 2.5P !!

Certainly not at 2.5p OUCH!!

Would not be impressed with such a low offer, hopefully they will reject out of hand any over around 2.5p, I would be showing a slight loss at that rate....
I hold both......

evidently the market itself is not impressed with the amount of selling that is going on...im going to hold ....the results are due out soon and i cant see management trying to accept this offer

jane look at the trades !! It is retail selling and the Market makers sitting there saying thankyou !!!

Could be a counterbid,could reject the offer,could negotiate more !

Who knows ?

HER haven't rejected it outright have they? believe done & dusted.

i bought in at 2.52 so lets hope they reject it,mind you i am suprised that people are selling under the offer price of 2.50.

UandD no have the have not accepted it either !

Email from HER

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the above. Host Europe cannot make any further comment at this stage.



However, in order to clarify yesterday's announcement, I can confirm that the current situation is as follows:



Pipex have made an approach to Host Europe and the boards of the two companies are in discussions. The outcome of these discussions may result in an offer being made by Pipex for Host Europe. However, no offer has yet been made. If any offer is made, the value is likely to be around 31.2 million or 2.5p per share.



A further statement will be made in due course and Host Europe will shortly be publishing its 2003 results.

its nice to see host are keeping an eye on the discussions boards to see what shareholders have got to say....i still think this company has a tremendous future and hope the board do not sell for 2.50.....i look forward to the results...

am holding for min 2.5 no point in throwing money away,maybe just maybe it may spur 3rd party to sniff.

any comments on the cash offer from pipex....still looks to cheap for mebut recommended by board...2.54 results looked good

what happens now?

is it worth holding on or selling at 2.48 now

Keep hold there seems to be some clause that they need 90% agreement from share holders and a rumour flying around that another party might be interested in at a price of 0.2913 but its your call. I got in at 2.5 so I personally would like more to show a small profit, one good thing on a personal note is I hold Pipex also.......

thanks for your comments....i bought at an average of 2.2 but think i will hold on a bit longer and see if anyone else comes out of the woodwork...why pay dealing charges anyway when you dont need to..any ideas how long an offer takes to go through anyway...

adieH- Where did you get your info from?
