Thanks red getz and bonsai. I understand the allocation part....I'm just in fear of it tumbling as I've got a lot riding on this. So theoretically we hopefully won't be out of pocket if both shareprices stay the same?
Red Getz on the 7th June has given a good answer.just scroll through previous posts
Can anyone help me with advice on how the merger works against the value of current shares? I don't know whether to sell some dixons shares now as current value of cpw alone won't meet the value if I sold today. Will the share price of the new company dixons carphone be likely to be more than both put together? ! I know no one has a glass ball to predict what will happen but I don't want to lose out obviously. Thanks
Hi guys, Hoping that Dixons Carphone will pay a dividend soon.If they do any guesses on when and how much?. Also an example of how this might look if I own 60000 shares would be much appreciated. Thanks.
and today was a good start.. both CPW and DXNS had good rises..
It starts Aug 7th and it will be an exciting journey. A very profitable destination awaits.
Thursday 17 July, next milestone in our proposed merger with Carphone Warehouse, EGM for shareholders https://twitter.com/DixonsRetail/status/488636077134344192
Carphone Warehouse talks to Three about own-brand mobile service (think Tesco Mobile & O2). could play out well for "Dixons Carphone" https://twitter.com/lou_m_h/statuses/489386118186823680
I got that also.. I don't think that the SP will rise or fall untill after the merger...
Got a notification today from Dixons which is the same as the previous merger announcement. 0.155 CPW for each DXNS --- if the vote passes then it will happen on the 6th of August.
Hi Kid...yes still in Spain...not quite on the champagne full time...happy with my cerveza grande por favour. I think you may of made the transition over to dxnx a little to early...CEY i believe will break 70 this week...Dxns seems to be mirroring CPW, and has seen little change, as for the share conversion, i think for every 6 shares you hold, you will gain one more....good luck to all.
Hello again - the man with no name known as Amigo - good to hear from you again - are you still sipping the champagne somewhere in Spain I seem to recall - anyway, yes, I did alright with CEY but then got a wee bit bored with them becoming static in the 60 to 65 range so popped out - they are, of course now beginning to fly again, but I can always pop back in - love to follow the money...It sort of does all of the research for you if you know what I mean - Still surprised at how very quite this BB can be but perhaps news of moi being back on will change all of that - Ho Ho - Cheers - Rory - formerly known as the Knowing Kid until it was kindly pointed out to me that I did not seem to know it all afterall - thanks for that - but I was the poster - all on my own - who predicted this would not fly up after the last full year results and would then actually drift thereafter, which it did - but fancy a run for my money now - bytheway, would someone mind just running it past moi as to how I will end up with such and such shares once all the dust settles - many thanks -
If you want the shares to be priced at less than £1 each and you receive one for six in the new company your holding would be reduced by 66% - so in order to be at parity they must be priced around £3.
Great so many people are coming back into this share and this board, The feeling is starting to be far more positive and the volume is starting to tick up! When clear details come about about the meger( Divi ) we will be rocking and rolling!
Good to have you back on board Captain Barclay ..!! ...What price did you get back in at..? ...Did you sell up your CEY stock..? As they have done very well .)
Hi All - some of you on here will recall my days when I was pretty much the most regular fan of this stock - I then made a prediction that the SP would then drift, and then got out - However, I am now back in - did not like all the muddle and uncertainty surrounding the merger etc - but that is now mostly sorted and the most recent results were very promising - fancy this one will, at long last, start to fly northwards - GLA - Cheers - Rory -
But then you look at EPS and P/E and realise it's rather expensive, no?
?
I would prefer to see them issued at less than a pound each, it would help push the price higher, due to the price looking psychology cheap
Not worried, you have been around with some of us for a while & I would miss your chat & views. just would be good to see positive comments, I still believe we have a bright future as a company and share price.
Don't worry about me chaps, I am out. Only turnaround stock I am in now is Thomas Cook.
I agree wayofthenorth I think you are correct it is catching the eye of all key Investors and could catch fire soon, if only we can get and stay over that 50p! I agree I think the management is getting it right most of the time. If people are unhappy perhaps they need to think about moving on. I wonder what staff think about how it is all going at the moment? Dixons Retail PLC (LON:DXNS)‘s stock had its “buy” rating restated by Investec in a research note. They currently have a GBX 56 ($0.95) price target on the stock. Investec’s target price would suggest a potential upside of 12.59% from the company’s current price.
By Ashley Armstrong, M&A Reporter8:30PM BST 29 Jun 2014CommentsComment The architects behind Carphone Warehouse and Dixons’ £3.7bn merger are set to gain as much as £22.6m for their advice. The two UK electrical retailers announced their formal merger plans in May after first admitting they were in talks about a possible combination in late February. Carphone Warehouse called on advisers at Deutsche Bank and UBS alongside lawyers at Osborne Clarke, while Citigroup and Barclays provided financial advice to Dixons with Linklaters providing legal advice to the company. The investment banks will receive the lions’ share of the two companies’ advisory fees according to the companies’ merger prospectus. The circular to shareholders reveals that Carphone will be paying between £3.7m and £10.9m to their advisors, while Dixons will pay as much as £11.7m for advisory work. The company’s spinners, Brunswick will receive £3m for their work while their public relations opposites, Citigate Dewe Rogerson, will receive a smaller sum of £1m for their Carphone role. Fees are usually determined by the complexity of a deal, the size and whether or not it is cross-border, which can see advisers spending all-nighters in the office or most of their time on red-eye flights and in airline departure lounges.

It also reveals that Tim How, Dixon’s chairman of remuneration was also paid £70,030 annual fee for his 15 days work last year advising on pay structures. Sir Charles Dustone, who will be the group’s biggest shareholder with an 11.7pc stake, will also be paid an annual fee of £280,000. The mooted top-heavy board structure, which includes two joint chief executives, Carphone’s Andrew Harrison and Dixon’s Sebastian James, and fourteen directors has already raised eyebrows in the analyst community. However, sources close to the situation said the strong personalities of some of the executive team means that the structure will unlikely stay in place for long. Both companies will hold separate meetings for shareholders to vote on the merger on 17 July.
