its new customer billing and contacts system to the Xansa led Crystal Alliance.

improvement in standards of service provided.

Fidelity now owns over 13% - slow stake building
- these are very smart people - is there a take out?

Question - 7.50million shares traded 7.4m buys and the price drops!!!!!!!
Someone is defo not on the up and up here!

Does any one know about Fujitsu stalking Xansa?
It is rumoured that they may be looking at the indian collateral.

Any news out there ?

Announced as I posted :

Xansa plc ('The Company') is in advanced talks regarding a possible offer for
the Company at a premium to the current share price. There can be no certainty
that an offer for the Company will be forthcoming.

Someone bloody knew !!

"possible offer for the Company at a premium to the current share price."

Does this mean todays current price I wonder! If so, I expect the bid to come in at 125p. Any thoughts?

I would expect it to have to go for around 120p to be recommeded hjs but first offer likely to be lower , maybe 110p

Dil

I feel the first and last offer will come in around 125. Xansa is worth more and who ever will bid will want to make a quick deal.

I wonder who the bidder is? Fujitsu I have never heard that before!

Logica?

Some Indian company ?

IBM?

Tadpole ?





:-)

nah they are too busy why their take over of Microsoft

Result ... 130p a share.

jeez it is steria.....bloody useless services company
