123p is the theoretical ex-rights price, so looks like we should be spot on when the new stock is admitted on the 20th.

Announcement of Results of Rights Issue
Thomas Cook Group plc (the "Company") announces that the 2 for 5 Rights Issue of 409,029,271 New Ordinary Shares at 76 pence per New Ordinary Share announced on 16 May 2013 closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on 19 June 2013. The Company received valid acceptances in respect of 395,771,583 New Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 96.76% of the total number of New Ordinary Shares offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the fully underwritten Rights Issue.

It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form will be credited to CREST stock accounts as soon as practicable after 8.00 a.m. today, 20 June 2013, and that definitive share certificates in respect of New Ordinary Shares in certificated form will be despatched to shareholders by no later than 28 June 2013.

It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares will commence trading, fully paid, on the London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities at 8.00 a.m. today, 20 June 2013.

Whats with all the 2000 sells,they just keep coming

Thomas Cook announces the placing of the Rights Issue Rump
Following the announcement earlier today regarding valid acceptances under the fully underwritten Rights Issue announced by Thomas Cook Group plc (the "Company") on 16 May 2013, the Company confirms that Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and Jefferies International Ltd have procured purchasers for the remaining 13,257,688 New Ordinary Shares for which valid acceptances were not received, representing 0.93 per cent. of New Ordinary Shares, at an average price of 123.35 pence per New Ordinary Share.

The net proceeds from the placing of such New Ordinary Shares (after the deduction of the Rights Issue Price of 76 pence per New Ordinary Share and the expenses of procuring subscribers) will be paid to those persons whose rights have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments, save that individual amounts of less than £5.00 will not be paid to such persons but will be paid to the Company.

See this one bouncing after the Right Issue and sold the ones not taken up.

Chart showing a double bottom now bullish

Steady at 120p for a while and then 121.50p

still well below the placing at 137p at the time of the RI

As to be expected.

Thomas Cook (TCG): Holding Above Old Resistance
Published by: zakmir on 26th Jun 2013

Although it is difficult to deny that the extended rally in Thomas Cook shares is not a little long in the tooth, especially after the rights issue, the key in such situations is not to jump the gun as far as going bearish. This is particularly tthe case as one could have done so and missed out terribly all the way up from 10p.

Indeed, the position now as far as the shares of the tour operator are concerned is that we see support having come in at and above former March resistance at 112p. While I would personally regard this state of affairs as being a little too good to be true, it is still best to suggest that Thomas Cook remains in bull mode while there is no end of day close back below the old March peak. The nominal target in the interim would be as high as the January price channel top at 140p plus on a 6-8 week view.

FTSE 250 movers: JPMorgan, Thomas Cook rally

Fri, 28th Jun 2013 13:52



India-focused companies JPMorgan Indian Investment Trust and Essar Energy edged higher as the country's government approved the a doubling of natural gas prices.

Thomas Cook Group rallied after Fitch Ratings upgraded the travel company's long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'B' from 'B-' and senior unsecured rating to 'B+'/RR3 from 'B-'/RR4.

African Barrick Gold, on the other hand, slumped as the price of gold fell 1.18% to $1,197.30 per ounce.

Online sports broadcaster, Perform Group, continued to fall after saying on Thursday that a changing revenue mix will "modestly" restrain profit growth.

Nice steady rise back up to c150p is my target and might be tempted to take some profit at that point.

Now 140p and chart looking strong for further upside, imo.

Seems I may have to make a decision sooner than expected. Now 146p.

Well done for holding here Harry.

The odd one has to work out sooner or later........law of averages, but thank you!
Trouble is that chart isn't really much use after 150p, so am going to have to wing it!
I bought rights at 76p, so will try and double those if I can.

I had them from @24p up to just over a quid with a couple of gaps -and nicked a few to the short side.

It would have been far less stressful, to have just held.

Yep.

Been quite a ride.

So has TW. been.

Best trader at moment for me this one.
