Michael Edelson, serial director, and amongst other current directorships on the Board of Singer & Friedlander AIM3 VCT plc, has been appointed to the Board of WRN to assist Joe Dwek, current chairman, holder of over 17% of the equity and currently ubderwriting WRN's term loans, in seeking to merge, acquire or reverse WRN into a new business. WRN already has valuable property assets which have Change of Use potential, so the company might readily appeal to a private property company seeking a full listing.
The shares are thinly traded and have already responded to this recent appointment in anticipation that a deal will not be long in coming. The right deal should make this stock motor.

Thread started in September 2005. Hope that the outcome of the potential offer for the company will be known before the 10th anniversary and that it is positive for the company. What a long haul! Wouldn't put money on an answer by this Friday given past form. It would be great to be proved wrong - about the timing, that is!

".........Therefore the extended deadline is now 5.00pm on 18th September 2015."
Not long to go now!

Today is the day! ........ First thing monday morning we should all be rich!!!

The Takeover Panel has consented to this extension. Therefore the extended deadline is now 5pm on 16 October 2015.
The Company understands that progress is continuing to be made in relation to the Proposed Refinancing of Nuna by Greenland Mining Management Ltd. There can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to an offer being made for the Company, nor as to the terms on which any offer may be made."

extension after extension ..... good deals invariably get concluded quickly, so i hope for you all that this is is an exception

Suspect some of the delay is being caused by outstanding litigation issues elsewhere. I am sure I have read somewhere that those are close to being sorted - and ahead of this latest extended deadline. Hope so. Really have no real feel for whether this will turn out OK or not.

Harrycat, it seems we are the only investors/numpties in this on money am. The additional extension could be viewed as promising given the target company having done some refinancing. Really don't know how this will play out from here.
If Doug Ware lives up to his comments in the past then we can look forward to some fireworks. If those that think he will not are correct then this will be a future CGT loss for offset. Interesting to see how it goes.

There were a number of other bb's where the WRN following was lemming like! .....but with no action possible by investors, there isn't much else to say .....just a waiting game. My own gut reaction, based on nothing particular, is that the longer this drags on, the less likely a favourable outcome. I only have a very small stake, as I had a feeling this was going to be a high risk punt, but....you never know!

sharesure include me in your list of numpties, owning this share, has lost me the will to live.

It would seem likely that the suspension could have caused all possible deals to have been put on hold. If not, then 12 months of litigation settlement time might have been useful for some income. Agree with both of you this is totally unpredictable (well not to some elsewhere who already reckon it's a total loss). On what is public so far, I don't think it is possible to be that certain. I have been in other similar 'shells' - some have worked out well, others have gone to the wall. That's part of the risk and the appeal.

Sort of improvement on the last few extensions! It's anyone's guess as to the outcome. When I have spoken to DW way back during the previous suspension he came across as straight forward and sincere in what he is trying to do. Suspect that some of the previous bunch may be different. I am not holding my breath that December 11th will be the date on which this is resolved one way or the other. It's more bizarre than most shells I have ever been in and that is saying something when the list includes Belair Cosmetics!

Worthington Group has successfully requested a 28-day extension to the period of time in which Nuna Minerals must either announce a firm intention to make an offer, or announce it does not intend to.

The Takeover Panel has consented to this extension. Therefore the deadline is now 5pm on 8th January 2016.

The Company understands that progress is continuing to be made in relation to the proposed refinancing of Nuna by Greenland Mining Management Ltd, and that at the General Meeting of Nuna on 25th November 2015 the shareholders of Nuna approved the re-financing proposals.

There can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to an offer being made for the Company, nor as to the terms on which any offer may be made.

Suspect that 8/1/2016 will still not give sufficient time because Christmas shutdown may have an impact. Not much we can do. I would like to think that progress was being made on the other deals too - forlorn hope I suspect!

Yet another extension; so predictable. Given the volatile market it would not be surprising if a further extension into March is applied for. Assuming they do do some sort of deal and Doug Ware's comment about a substantial premium to the suspension price does become a reality (no matter how justified) then the play really is short sellers having to close out on a stock with little free market in the shares. That might be entertaining - and very profitable! But nothing is guaranteed where this stock is concerned.

Tomorrow is the day!!!!! We should all be rich!.....................I wish!

are you betting on yet another extension then?

Something like that, yes. I'm surprised the regulator allows this to carry on indefinitely.
