Good Luck...

I keep on hearing Tulips from Amsterdam!!8-)

The song in my mind is "Oh! What a beautiful morning..." Funny! because its afternoon now! Anyway, "everythings going our way", even with a few profit takers mistakenly congratulating themselves for booking a profit.

Stanelco plc

Agreement
And
Placing of New Ordinary Shares

Stanelco is pleased to announce that it has granted ASDA a 60 day option period
during which the two organisations will endeavour to reach agreement concerning
ASDA's access to Stanelco's RF sealing technology for food retail in the UK and
Ireland. Such agreement will include details of the duration of any
exclusivity.

The Board of Stanelco plc (the 'Company') is pleased to announce the placing by
KBC Peel Hunt of 38,000,000 ordinary shares ('New Ordinary Shares') at a price
of 12.825p per share to raise approximately 4.8 million (approximately 4.7
million after expenses). The proceeds of this placing will be used primarily for
working capital relating to existing development projects.

Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority for the New Ordinary Shares
to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for such
shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Market for
listed securities. Admission of the New Ordinary Shares is expected to become
effective on 15 February 2005.

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari
passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to
receive all dividends and other distributions declared or paid thereon following
admission.

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement between KBC Peel Hunt and
the Company having become unconditional in all respects and not having been
terminated prior to Admission of the New Ordinary Shares, and admission of the
New Ordinary Shares becoming effective by 15 February 2005 or such later date
(not being later than 25 February 2005) as the Company and KBC Peel Hunt may
agree.

Beat me to it dexter!!

afternoon wilbs,
I only bought back in this am, don`t really know too much, is this RNS good news?, apologies for sounding thick!
Dexter

The way I read into it is that Asda wants it all to themselves?
I am not sure about the placement. What affect will this have on the sp?
Sorry for sounding thick to!
wilbs

That sounds a bit crazy, Asda having it all to themselves..

wilbs,
is that TO as in go to , or TOO as in as well as ??, whatever it is this is certainly exciting !!!.

Total shares prior to placement about 843million. Dilution is minimal, but the have working capital or cash enough to survive. Also K Peel have been over the books with a spy glass and microscope and think it is worth at least 12.8p a share which is a cushion to land on!!!

Eric, like you can't believe people a dipping out before the sahre price hits 20p. It's difficult to me to give too mauch onformation because I work in the packaging industry, but this is causing major waves. Hold tight and we can all make a killing. Bought some more this afternoon, now have a range from 4p to 15p.

I think we should all hold fire till EWRobson has his say. Eric no rights issue then.

Minimal dilution but placing 38m shares must have been holding the SP back slightly so I guess now it could fly again!

so jacks you don't think the placing will dilute existing shares, price moving up on the release of RNS, i'm confused...

Fred1new,
thanks for that.

dexter,
I told you I was thick!! I blame it on a typing error.

I wonder what is going on with the other trials?

My opinion (for what it's worth) is this is a good RNS. The placing took place at above yesterdays closing price, which shows confidence in the company and also, if asda take up the rights to use it exclusivly, I think they would have to pay extra for that otherwise seo would be better selling it to all and sundry.

There's the second RNS, option for 60 days.

Yes don't forget asda are owned by WalMart so it wont be exclusivity to just Asda it would include the parent company (I think). Maybe thats why Asda wont the agreement because of parent company, if it is the case then this is huge because it opens up the whole WalMart market...

Adie, 38 million shares in normal circumstances would have a drastic affect, however these are not normal circustances. We have a company who have gained a major competitive advantage over the rest of the packaging market. I know I keep banging on about it but this is potentially huge. The extra shares at above yesterdays price only demonstrates confidence as the price looks to be pushing on again.
Tesco and Sainsbury will get the technology through contract packers, believe me they will not let ASDA steal their thunder.

wilbs,
The way i read it is, Asda want to be the first chain to use this technology, remember they are huge, i think the trials will still continue with the other companies. If one co. can be the first to use it,it gives them a boost and any little bit of an advantage can mean a lot in this field IMO
