Market cap too small and I don't think uk gov will want to waste time, last year this was £2? What happened to it?
Thanks mate
If I was in profit now, I know what I'd do...
Just bought a few :) bring on 20P
so whatever the facts are lets look at the macro: Are we not in a Better position that we were before Germany and Spain had no enquiry? Already well in profit now.
Not forgetting the Chinese clearances of course. I am not aware that Sepura/Hytera have said that the Chinese clearances have been received. It seems to me that these may well provide Hytera with a get-out if it decides it doesn't want to go through with the deal at the last minute (or wants a discount). Another potential disruptor is the FY17 results. Will Sepura feel compelled to publish a trading update before the deal closes? In particular if it gets advice from its auditors that it can no longer publish accounts on a "going concern" basis will it need to share that news with the market? And how would Hytera react to that? And if the UK is still making its mind up on 15th May, we don't know the conditions around a further deferral of the covenant tests.
look at in relation to the price. The price was 14-15p with all three countries yet to provide clearances. Now the price is 13p with 2 countries Cleared! Great news. You need to review things on a "priced in" basis and oversold.
Germany; no enquiry required. Spain; OK. UK; No news. This is the "last hurdle" and it's potentially a huge one.
??
from the offer of 20p almost certain to go through now all the clearances have been made and the share price of 12.5p. I have just added
I can see the light at the end of a tunnel now. Great news from the Spaniard, and now it's over to the Brits.
Excellent news for shareholders at last. I will be pilling in anything below 16p
No. If you buy now you will get your 20 P when the takeover goes threw.
What on earth do you mean, thinkingabout ?
Pardon?
Is there record time for shareholder to be register to able be part of the 20 p takeover deal ?
Still waiting this must go through or all jobs in cambridge at risk government says open for business what a laugh
a lot of Share trades every day ? But WHY ? I hold until 4th may and then look again. I think hytera is also interested in case of a UK Phase II. And why should the UK stop this takeover ???
I bet this is the hybrid TETRA/LTE ...
A key reason for Teltronic acquisition by SEPU had been in fact the ability to jointly offer the 2 companies' respective core technologies being hence able to supply both the current system and the next gen one, including the transitional hybrid. Significance of Teltronic is also high in Hytera's roadmap: Hytera had released news hinting to them being working on their own LTE solution, but being far from having even a prototype ready. Bringing SEPU{Teltronic} on board would have sped that up.
Found this interesting: https:// simplywall.st/news/2017/04/20/can-sepura-plcs-lsesepu-debt-pose-a-serious-problem-for-the-company/ https:// simplywall.st/LSE:SEPU/sepura Particularly: "Sepura is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets." ... but... "Sepura’s debt to equity ratio stands at 70.6% and this indicates that Sepura’s debt can cause trouble for the company in a downturn but still it’s at a manageable level. No matter how high is the debt, if a company can easily cover the interest payments, it’s considered to be making a good use of that excessive leverage. To keep an eye on how it’s doing on that front, an investor can check how easily the company can service its debt. If it earns at least 5x or more of its interest payments, that’s an indication of financial strength. In SEPU’s case the company is making a loss, therefore interest on debt is not well covered by earnings. Conclusion Clearly, Sepura has a concerning amount of debt on its balance sheet. Additionally, the company fails to impress in terms of generating strong enough operating cash flows and earnings to cover annual interest expenses. Thus, for now, I don’t find it a financially sound company."
I wonder how this ESN changeover debate plays into the UK government's Sepura takeover considerations? Can't you just see someone sitting thinking that the change in ownership of Sepura must be an important factor somehow, if only they could work out how - and perhaps kicking the decision into the long grass by having a "review" might avoid the risk of making an embarrassing mistake. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-20/u-k-emergency-services-at-risk-of-catastrophic-comms-failure
