Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
following up with some Tilley director buys would be nice
That looks like a new holding to me. Can't see them as a significant shareholder prior to this purchase.
Certainly looks that way. RNS of Feb confirmed 6.81mln holding left. Same traded after hours. Upward momentum?
Complex restructuring including a mostly underwritten equity placing but does seem positive
Looks like very good news. Any views?
Ok looked thru RNS' and old posts. Look like spudding for the feasibility study about to happen. Also CEO aiming to raise the profile if the company. Looks very interesting. Have listed to the interview.... http://www.miningmaven.com/companies/aim-mining/horizonte-minerals/horizonte-minerals-update-interview-with-ceo-jeremy-martin3-20140908411/
Any news due?
Reading the prospectus the final date for acceptance of the offer is officially 29 Sep. Results of the take up will be 30 Sep. Brokers would want investors instructions a few days ahead of 29 Sep. Either way looks to be underwritten by the significant shareholder.
Reading the last annual report sounds like an acquisition is being negotiated...perhaps it's close.

For reasons stated already I believe your outcome unlikely. Cyberbub seems in my view to have a more likely scenario painted. Borders - however I do agree that the swap liability could have been better managed ie. why pay dividends when the liability was greater than available cash for quite some time? Looking forward the macro environment ie. euro int rates and increasing liquidity, should in my view, help the company come through this period.
I would suggest this is more is a liquidity issue that anything else. That assumption only changes if there's a dramatic drop in GBP vs EU or fall in the value of the continental housing market which I personally think unlikely given the general theme for increased euro money supply. Not sure I quite agree with your somewhat dire prophecy for Alpha. Dilutive effect has already occurred when compare to adjusted NAV. Seems the intention is to bring the share price to a more reasonable discount to NAV hence mangagment co buying, which I think is continuing. Once the share price is circa 12p (compared to adj NAV of 17.5) then, depending on the value of the swap liability we may see a share issue. But only if needed which will depend on the exchange rate movements leading to Oct. I personally think there's a good return to be made here versus the risk at play. The buying by the inv manager and directors add to that assumption.
The Trust announces that its Investment Manager, Alpha Real Capital LLP ("ARC"), purchased 1,000,000 ordinary shares at 5p per share on 29 April 2013. This transaction represents 0.9% of the issued share capital. This transaction was executed under the terms of an irrevocable, non-discretionary trading plan, which ARC entered into with Numis Securities on 19 April 2013.Following the purchase ARC will own 8,400,000 ordinary shares.
Indeed they were buys with the inv manager buy of 1mln on 29 Apr. Good show of confidence and intention. Interestingly looks like Numis have been accumulating on their behalf over the past few weeks. I wonder if there's more buys to happen? I suspect so given the way the spread is being worked.
Margin calls work both ways so they receive money back as the liability decreases.
At 1.185 the outlook looks brighter for Alpha and with some commentators predicting 1.2 in the near term this should have a substantially positive impact on the swap liability and thus share price. The last time the GBP/Euro rate was circa 1.2, the share price was in the region of 13.5p. Perhaps a little catch up to take place on the share price?
Now has anyone actually looked at the performance of this fund. Wish I had that 3 years performance at +97%. Anyhow suggests good stock selectors.
Short to medium term i see buy backs to bolster the share price, combined with a property sale to manage the liability which is looking in better shape than a month ago. Longer term a potential issue of shares but a way off at this stage. All IMHO.
Well buy backs occur when the management feels shares are undervalued. The fact they'll keep in treasury supports this. All good especially when judged against the director/ARC buys. Very interesting to watch for Monday.
Anyone have an opinion on the above trades just gone through....the bid dropped in the proceeding 30mins....bid now back up.....surely price would have dropped significantly had these been sales. Having said that buys should have had the opposiite response. Interesting given where we are in the bid process.
