Daniel Stewart Securities Plc
Trading and Business Update

The Board of Daniel Stewart Securities Plc (AIM: DAN), the investment bank providing corporate advisory, institutional stockbroking and wealth management services, announces a trading and business update ahead of its full year results for the year ended 31 March 2015.

The Board is pleased to announce that since 30 September 2014, the Company has addressed its regulatory capital requirements; strengthened its balance sheet; and restructured the operational focus of the Company, reducing costs in the process. The Company also took the strategic decision to relinquish its status as an AIM Nominated Adviser ("NOMAD") as the Board believes that the associated costs and additional regulatory burden associated with maintaining NOMAD status do not best serve the interests of our shareholders in today's market environment.

During the period, the Company's shares were suspended from trading between 30 September 2014 and 5 March 2015. The suspension created exceptional circumstances that affected trading in the second half of the reported year. Whilst resolving the capital adequacy issues which led to suspension, the Company also incurred certain non-recurring legal, accountancy and other costs associated with the restructuring. Some clients also delayed their decision to appoint us to new mandates.

As a result of this, the Board anticipates that for the year ended 31 March 2015, the Company will report a reduced pre-tax and amortisation loss of approximately £850,000 (2014: £1.46m loss), of which around £150,000 relates to costs incurred in resolving the regulatory capital issues. Revenue is expected to be around £3.9m (2014: £4.2m).

Peter Shea, Chairman commented: "Although it is always disappointing to report a loss, albeit an improved position from the previous year, we now have our regulatory capital issues firmly behind us and a more focused overhead resulting in a business which is better structured to deliver meaningful capital market solutions to our clients.

"Whilst general market trading conditions remain difficult, we have in the last seven weeks been appointed by six new clients and in the immediate months ahead, we are engaged on a number of fundraisings, including two initial public offerings. Additionally, our wealth management division has continued to grow.

"The Board is optimistic about the future prospects for the Company and I would like to thank the staff, our clients, investors, advisers, and Winterflood Securities, all of whom remained supportive throughout."

Quindell founder: Share-dealing allegations a 'heap of rubbish'

Rob Terry says he has amassed £50m in funding for new ventures and is confident of FCA approval

The founder of Quindell has claimed he will not face sanctions from regulators over his share-dealings at the firm and called accusations of insider dealing “a heap of rubbish”.

The revelations from Rob Terry, the controversial former chairman at the insurance outsourcer, are likely to spark anger among shareholders who lost money by investing in the company he once led.
Mr Terry, in his first public comments since he left Quindell, told The Telegraph that he had amassed about £50m of funding for new ventures, some of which he has provided himself.

He also said he was confident that he would receive approval from the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, for his planned stake-building in stockbroker Daniel Stewart, despite the storm that led to his departure from Quindell last November.

Mr Terry, along with two other directors, were the focus of investor anger when it emerged that they had reduced their shareholdings in Quindell in stock market dealings that were initially portrayed by the company as share purchases.

He was eventually ousted from the board when Quindell revealed that the trio had carried out the dealings after one of the company’s house brokers had resigned. The wider stock market was only informed of the resignation after the directors had reduced their stakes, prompting heavy falls in Quindell’s share price.

“The transactions that were done at the time were looked at, there was never any question of insider dealing, so it’s just a heap of rubbish,” Mr Terry said on Friday.
He said that there was “no issue” with the Aim team at the London Stock Exchange, which examined the controversial share dealings, and that it was “closed out long long ago, all in a positive manner.”
He added: “There’s never been an issue with the FCA.”

In a move that has raised eyebrows across the City, it emerged on Thursday that Mr Terry was seeking to increase his recently acquired stake in Daniel Stewart to above 10pc, which will require FCA clearance.

“I’m absolutely positive that FCA approval will come through in the normal timescales,” he said.
Daniel Stewart was left with an uncertain future on Friday after it revealed that its nominated adviser, Westhouse Securities, had resigned. If it does not find a replacement by the start of May, its shares will be suspended.
Mr Terry has already amassed a 9.994pc stake in the broker through investment vehicle Quob Park Estate.

The controversial figure said he thought that Daniel Stewart was “undervalued”, adding “there’s also some things I’d like to do in partnership with them to do with the other things I’m doing with Quob Park.
“Ultimately I will be interested in holding anything up to 29pc of [Daniel Stewart]. I won’t make a bid for it, that’s not my intent, but I could see myself building a holding of that type of size.

“We will open up [Quob Park] to retail investors to invest alongside us and for that we will need to work with an FCA regulated firm, and I hope that that firm will be Daniel Stewart.”

He claimed that Quob Park had as much as £50m in firepower behind it.
“Quob is re-name of a company that I’ve had for a whole number of years but it’s been restructured, new investment’s come in, myself and a number of other individuals have put in over five million and we’ve already raised money with a valuation of twenty-five million.

“It in itself is a fund of a value of about twenty-five million, and then it’s sitting alongside about another twenty-five million of investment capital from me. So it has available to it about fifty million of funding.”

On Friday, Quindell shareholders approved the £637m sale of the company’s legal business in a deal that will see £500m returned to investors. Mr Terry said that he and Quob held small stakes in Quindell.

After earlier mark down is now well up and some large trades appearing as buys volume of over 7m on 2 hours of trading, was slow at the start.

spread 1.30 v 1.35p +0.075p

the large trade delayed by 1 hour was a change of pattern this morning from being down to going up

BUY -09:31:47 800,000K @ 1.30p
spread at the time 1.25 v 1.30p

things has change since as now the spread is 1.40 v 1.45p

they must be a buy order as PEEL is alone at 1.40p on the bid and next is far away 1.25p

some have realised of that and selling getting 1.41p a few trades now

There was a large trade for 1.2M @ 1.44p, no wonder PEEL was bidding by them self well ahead of the others.

share price has come down ( PEEL has move lower on the bid side ) as sellers help them to fill their books,
I was expecting for this to be happen being so much difference in prices on them.
Naturally bidding for stock cos there was a large buyer and almost paying the full offer price 1.45p

Rob Terry got his 10% yet ?

RT increasing the stake into 9.06%, some warrants were exercise early on the week, so there is more shares to calculate from
