Range Resources Ltd ("Range" or the "Company") wishes to advise that its shares
have been placed in a trading halt on the Australian Securities Exchange
pending the release of an announcement regarding a significant acquisition and
associated share placement. This announcement will be made as soon as details
are finalised. Range shares will continue to trade on the AIM market during
this period.
Difficult to guess.....depends on what the company have bought, together with how many shares issued....the good thing is that this company has so many positives going for it so the market might just price the sp up by one or two pennies on the announcement....there is also the Georgian well program which is getting closer to spudding which should provide an extra stimulus...
I may be totally wrong but from reading other comments on the other side I understand AU stock exchange rules state there must be a trading halt prior to an announcement which is something we could do with over here imo. The placing is rumoured to be at 17p decided when the sp was about 18p so a fair price at the time. It is hopefully going to be used to increase the stake in the Trinidad oil which is already producing. those faithful followers are seeing this as all good news---I of course hope it is too.
on another subject I've received an email scam trying to get money rather than just delete it I think I should report it--does anyone know who should deal with it? thanks.
