Historical share prices: I don't know about online, but when I need them myself I go to my local library where they have an archive (microfiche) of the Financal Times, and look in there for the closing price on the date I need.
Hi all. I’ve been away a while and didn’t know Kcom was taken over until the ‘cheque’ arrived. Does anyone know where I can find the historical share price going back to 2005. I’ve searched and can’t find anything going that far back. Tia
Just received the goodbye cheque Hello to a new boiler and a holiday not a penny going on shares to fund there high life
it's been a good ride along the way, thanks for all the fish.
Last trading day
Today's the day.
Meeting is at about 11:30am and results should be known soon after.
Yes, that has to be the plan.
This will give them weight in the vote at the end of the month?
Macquarie bought 130million-odd yesterday at 120.3 so presumably now the auction is complete they are at Liberty to acquire shares to ensure the deal goes through. The amount they bought yesterday represented 25% of the shares outstanding
I meant someone bought 77 million 120.3. I could well understand them buying at 102.3 lol
A continuation of Annomander's post... can anyone throw light on why people are, incl stamp duty, paying more than agreed offer price?
PS, three trades for same amount of 5,616,984 and two trades for same amount of 7,671,434. Could it be to shift the shares into another account, with one of the trades being a sell not a buy? I guess that could be the case for the two lots of over 7m but not for the others. Disclosure will follow, so we'll find out if someone has added substantially to their position.
I've been wondering the same thing, especially as stamp duty also has to be paid. I can understand people selling, to capture the profit and be relieved of having to wait for their money, but to buy... perhaps someone else on this board can throw some light on it? Could it be for FX reasons, or tax? I initially sold my entire holding at 109.40 but then got back in quite a bit higher but made more or less the same as had I sold half and kept half, just a convulated way to do it, lol. So I still own now.
Why are people buying kcom shares higher then it will be sold for?
i believe until the vote is accepted by 75% of the shareholders who choose to vote trading can continue.
oh that is just wierd..... currently 119.80, I assume none will break the 120 barrier
Still trades going through!!!!!
Would have though that trading would be suspended, but as yet no RNS stating this
Might release just prior to opening but strange not already done.
So.. what happens now, are Kcom shares put on hold tomorrow or are they still traded?
Seems strange to still be able to buy at 113 if it’s soon going to be sold at 120?
I feel a bit sorry for them in the end, they gave a good try at 113 and they are a UK company, but...
.3 not .8
Final bid Macquarie at 120.8
from there website
The winner of a week-long takeover battle for Hull broadband provider KCOM is set to be revealed on Friday.
Bidders USS (Universities Superannuation Scheme) and Macquarie have been locked in an auction since Monday, with the takeover price rising throughout the week.
The highest bidder is currently Macquarie, which bid £578m for KCOM on Thursday evening.
Both firms are still in the race to buy KCOM, and will submit final offers for the telecoms company at 5pm on Friday.
The winner will then be revealed.
Looks like confidence is dropping that their is going to be a big bid.
Of buyers coming in someone must be optimistic of a higher offer
