PRECAUTIONARY SUSPENSION

Range Resources Ltd ("Range" or the "Company") wishes to announce that its
shares have been placed into a precautionary suspension on the AIM market until
such time as it can issue a clarification announcement in respect of a
potential significant transaction. Range's shares have also been placed in a
trading halt on the Australian Securities Exchange.

AIM and ASX favourite Range Resources (LON:RRL) had small cap investors glued to their computer screens as it stopped shares changing hands pending the announcement of a “potential significant transaction”.

HALF YEARLY REPORT

http://www.rangeresources.com.au/framework/documents/displaydocument.asp?doc=1032

No rns today, so looks like another trade halt Thursday

Chuffing great - not.

Either be 2p on the next rns or erhhh ?

Hope it is not By Bys forever.....

Well lets just hope its for the best. Range looks to me to have no expertise in getting the oil out the ground. So may be we will get someone on board that does. A lot of rumours out there at the moment.

I do smell a share consolidation and a placing,may be wrong.

Dirty word to me, share consolidation as you know, however if that what it takes we shall have to take it on the chin.............

Just hope Fox Davies were aware of the latest news when they gave out the 25p future forecast ?

A very tight ship, with no leaks. Read all the boards and no one has a incline of what's going on. Looks like another day in suspension tomorrow .

Been in suspension since the 15th, Lets hope for a RNS on the ASX tonight.

I am as much a mushroom in the dark as everyone else dc. Not funny.

Will be good to be a mushroom in the light of news 3m.

Range Proposes to Undertake Strategic Merger

RANGE RESOURCES PROPOSES TO UNDERTAKE STRATEGIC MERGER WITH
INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM

I see that Frank Timis is a shareholder! Not sure if that's good or bad.
"An acceptable Relationship Agreement being entered into with Mr Frank Timis, a director and the major shareholder in International Petroleum, with a current 37.7pc shareholding via Safeguard Management Limited. As a result of the proposed merger, Mr Timis would ordinarily end up with a shareholding of approximately 14% in the enlarged Range."

However, this doesn't seem such a bad deal for RRL which was going nowhere recently, though the 3:2 ratio could have been better. "The merger would be undertaken by way of Range acquiring all the issued capital of International Petroleum." I see pretty much every other b/b is now talking about a share consolidation with the shares in issue being so high, assuming the merger goes ahead. One good thing seems to be that Peter Landau is going to be pushed into the background if the merger continues. Most seem pretty unanimous in their criticism of PL's inability to move RRL in any constructive move forward and the continual erosion of the share price.

Good views Harry.

Looks like the market likes the deal, not.
