Green shoots on AIM???

Retail property fund plans 250m IPO

11/06/2009 Oliver Haill

NewRiver Retail, where Peter Tom is director, seeks 250m

Further signs of 'green shoots' emerged on AIM as two investment funds, high street property investor NewRiver Retail and media-focused Critical Information Group, announced their intention to float.

If both companies complete their IPOs, on 24 and 25 June respectively, it would double the number of new issues on AIM this year, with the only previous arrivals being the February introduction of Singapore shipping play Yujin International and May's 220 million float for investment fund Max Property.

your early reply clearly shows your it skills and abilities. this can not be disputed. if only you might harness them to benefit both you and others more. its such a shame that you waste your talents. and waste them you do on this thread, and other threads, why not put them to better use? you and your talents and abilities are such a waste. wake up. stop conning others. realise that what goes around comes around.
consider putting your talents to good use for the benefit of others. you then will start to receive those same benefits. tis true. doubt you will believe, why not try it for a month or two?

Bit of blue again.

With the Chairman's links and position at Merchant Capital...the below again makes interesting reading.

Quoted Cash Shells

For clients looking to raise capital and achieve a quote:
For certain clients, reversing into a Cash Shell may represent an attractive alternative to an IPO or private equity fundraising. A Cash Shell may allow a transaction to be structured according to the particular requirements of a company or project in a more flexible way. A reversal is suited to situations where certainty of funding and timing is a key factor. Situations where a Cash Shell can work best include:

Roll-ups/Consolidation Strategies

* Acquisition of one or more companies with enlarged group seeking a quote
* Quoted paper as acquisition currency

Management Buy-outs/Buy-ins

* MBI team with quoted paper and cash but target to be identified
* Funding and quoted paper for MBO team

Small or Zero Funding Requirement

* Difficult to attract broker interest in an IPO if less than 5m
* Cash Shell can provide better liquidity than an Introduction

In these situations, a reversal may also provide an effective mechanism to attract and incentivise key personnel and raise the corporate profile in the same way as an IPO.

For failed or failing quoted companies:
Shareholder interests in failed or failing quoted companies can sometimes be best served by re-organising and restructuring the entity to produce a Cash Shell with a strategy to create value for shareholders by identifying an attractive operating business for a reverse takeover.

Merchant Capital advises clients on the restructuring process which may include disposing of any residual businesses or assets, putting the company through a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), new board appointments and an injection of new capital. The aim is to realize value for shareholders through the restructuring and provide them with a residual interest in a clean vehicle positioned for a reverse takeover.

END

Looking very good from today's news on equity investment. Ord is also 1p. Wouldn't have provided the loan of 36,000 if weren't going to get their money back.

Topped up with 569,384 shares at 0.25p on the back of today's news. Could see spurt upto 1p minimum soon imo. James Holmes going also sounds right, with people putting the money in bringing their own directors imo in due course.

So you dumped the RLH and bought the Meq instead.

Do you ever stop pump and dumping treacle ?

Hold both and if you'd looked, you would have seen I've been a buyer in MEQ since Spring this year and all the news is feeding through as per research.

Deal flow
Although investors have kept their hands in their pockets and IPOs have been on hold, Simpson and his junior markets team of seven have been busy on a number of transactions. Specialising in the lower to middle end of the junior markets, high-value deals the firm has worked on include the merger of independent IFAs Sumus and Lighthouse Group and the buy-out and delisting of Telent, a telecoms services business with revenue of over 310 million. Says Simpson, There is definitely more buzz about AIM, as a realistic option, than there was 12 months ago.

Much of the work for Saffery of late has been around reversals and takeovers. The stock market seems to be showing at least some form of recovery, and that will always be positive in terms of businesses looking for admission. A number of companies are ready to IPO effectively, theyre beginning to queue up and wait for the markets to reopen, comments Simpson.

Substantial interest is coming largely from overseas companies, notably those based in China, India and the US, says Simpson. The last of these may come as a surprise, given how US ventures have had a mixed experience on the exchange: US companies are continuing to look to AIM, where the regulatory pressures are less onerous. For these companies, its also about getting into Europe, establishing a presence and gaining market visibility.

Lots of reverse takeovers/acquisitions in recent days....fuelled by bouyant market.

Any reason why you are not posting about Rlh this evening after that rise ?

Coz there is no new information I've found. I'm going to watch Eastenders now if you want to know.

Actually 0.25p or higher seems extremely high risk given the recent news.
If they actually raise funds the existing shareholders will see massive dilution
and a price way below the current price, cannot see any reason to buy this.

Further re: Share Price Movement

Further to the announcement made on 12 May 2009, the Company announces that the
negotiations referred to in the announcement are ongoing. There is no guarantee
that these negotiations will result in a transaction involving an equity
investment being concluded. However, in the event that the parties involved in
these discussions make an equity investment into the Company it is likely that
this investment would be made at a significant discount to the current
middle-market share price of 0.26p per share, being the price at close of
business on 29 May 2009. A further announcement will be made in due course.

gravy - squelched.

Do you not like reality, that is what the directors of the company said not me.

A "significant discount" to market price which happens to the current price.

Just incase you need to read it twice to understand, not sure why you think
this stock should be bought at 0.28p when they plan to raise capital at a fraction
of this price, the price would probably collapse on that news should they actually
raise the funds but 6 months down the line and nothing has been said ?

That comment above confirms you are running out of ideas here !

Lets just wait and see if they manage to pull off a heavily discounted
placing from the current price.

No reason to buy unless you like losing money.
