Surely the head honchos are getting a bit worried. I think that this share staying stagnant is a big worry.unlock this share the olympics are just around the corner!!!!!!!!!!
after all stock market investors have been through for the past few years, this attempt at a thorough fisting would be hysterical if it wasn't so seriously sickening. this is abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!
and they have extended the offer and made it unconditional because they got such a pathetic response, nowhere near what they required. SHAFT THEM BACK, IT'S WORKING!
just keep rejecting, or do nothing as they like to put it. it's an insulting offer that is predicated on the paranoid state of the market. don't let them shaft u right up your arse....man. don't be paranoid. REJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if we reject this offer? I mean if we reject and then reject again, surely FSU Investments will get fed up with that and give us the 0.0026 in cash anyway and that will br the end of it?!!!!!!! Muthers!!!!!

Just wonder if its worth rejecting, not responding or just saying yes? Not been in this situation before so any advise would be helpful. Thanks
Well the offer is through, hopefully it is rejected but unlikely I guess.

the level of the offer must not be less than any price paid by the bidder in the three months before the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer; if shares are bought during the offer period at a price higher than the offer price, the offer must be increased to that price

I guess thee is little point in rejecting the offer as no doubt the majority of shares are in the management hands so will approve and we would just lose the extra 0.8 pence a share. Not having been in this situation before I assume there is no way to gauge how many people approve or not.

The Offer for SDI will be made up of cash consideration of 2.6 pence for each SDI Share ("Cash Consideration") plus additional contingent consideration which, if paid, will not exceed 0.8 pence per SDI Share ("Contingent Consideration"). The payment of the Contingent Consideration is dependent upon, amongst other things, the release of certain bonded cash that is the property of a member of the SDI Group, the Euro:Sterling exchange rate at the time when the Bonded Cash is released and the number of accepting shareholders eligible to receive the Contingent Consideration
Its been a while now, I emailed them and they said the month deadline was to attract an alternative offer quickly which i guess did not happen..

UP 14% despite no trades. The huge spread will probably deter buys until there is some news re takeover or management buyout. However, there should be a nice rise after this given thier present market valuation of less than 2 million. I cannot see it going down the tubes. Any thoughts?

Just took a punt on these. They look well oversold. Capitalisation of only 2 million. No debt issues, a small interim profit and net assets of 22 million. cash of 3.9m at the end of November. The recent offer is just silly. I am sure that by the end of the review period in a month this should bounce.
because Gordon Smith and his gang have decided that shareholders are far too thick to notice he is about to rob us blind. his insane offer of 2.6p is seriously being considered and we have absolutely no say in the matter. I suggest shareholders flood sdig's inbox and phone lines to give them their opinion anyway, whether they have enough RESPECT to listen or not. you are about to be shafted people, don't just sit there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NICE JOKE BRUCIE!!!!!! Why has this gone down 40% today anyone know?

....ROCKHOPPER............!!!!!!
Slowly but surely...(hopefully) Been a bit of reshuffling at the top, nothing major. ------------------------- Gordon Smith, chief executive of SDI Group, is taking on the additional role of the UK general manager as part of a reshuffle to consolidate its position in Europe. UK managing director Mike Hilton will take over the role of European sales director. Gordon Smith said: “During this time of unprecedented economic turmoil we have faced a number of challenges side by side with our clients in the retail industry. “Over the past two years we have driven significant changes within our business to strengthen our offerings across Europe.” Within the last year the company has acquired Pep Fordtechnik, set up a new R&D centre and designed and built four automated facilities across Europe.
