AGM to be held on the last day of June (that is also the end of ARK'S half year.) Must be a very good chance the RTO GM will also take place on the same day,with the shares being re listed the next day. (July 1st.) If one counts back 14 or 21 days,(not sure how many days notice are required for a GM) we get back to around the first or second week in June. At that time, paper work will be sent to shareholders inc forms to vote on the RTO deal. That paper work should give shareholders heaps of facts about the RTO inc number and price of new shares, growth plans, directors names, city backers and so on.

7th May 2014 Consolidation in the book publishing industry continues. News Corp last week announced that it was acquiring Harlequin, which will become a part of HarperCollins. The deal was C$455 million ($415 million) and all cash. HarperCollins revenues should swell by nearly 30%, assuming both it and Harlequin do as well in 2014 as they did in 2013. Speculating just about size, the company will likely be even larger than the sum of the two parts in 2014 due to the smash success of Veronica Roth’s Divergent series, which HarperCollins publishes.

quickly and the enthusiasm to be the biggest and best makes the Chinese market a mouth-watering prospect for publishers and publishing service providers alike. The Digital Gateway, a significant digital development in Chinese publishing, goes live this week and is being launched by Publishing Technology and CNPIEC at The London Book Fair. It will become the most authoritative source for international academic content in China and will offer Western publishers a new route to market via access to libraries in China that never existed before. We are extremely excited about bringing these innovations to the publishing industry and look forward to playing a major role bridging the gap between East and West. SEP 15 2013 OverDrive Announces New Deal to Bring Library eBook Lending into China By Michael Kozlowski OverDrive is best known for their digital infrastructure that allows libraries to loan out eBooks to their patrons. The company has a massive footprint in Canada, Australia, US, Ireland, and the UK. Recently, OverDrive attended the IFLA annual conference, as well as the Beijing International Book Fair. The big news that broke out of these two events was a new contract that will bring OverDrive to China. The China National Publications Import & Export Corporation (CNPIEC) and OverDrive signed an E-Publications Import License Agreement in an official signing ceremony. With this agreement in place, OverDrive can now take steps towards making OverDrive’s catalog of digital content available in China to libraries and retailers. CNPIEC is the largest importer of publications in China with domestic customers of over 10,000 libraries and institutions. OverDrive’s entry into China will provide an additional market for OverDrive’s publisher partners, who can rely on the trusted relationship with OverDrive as their digital distribution partner. The foray into China is something OverDrive has been focused on for the better part of a year. This is a huge deal, but there is no timeline in which the digital ecosystem will be widely available. Sources within the company have speculated that English Schools will be the first ones to make the eBooks available, as this makes up the bulk of OverDrive’s digital portfolio. From the OverDrive company web site today.! THE LARGEST CONTENT CATALOG With more than 1,000,000 titles in every subject representing 1,000+ publishers, OverDrive hosts the largest digital library catalog in the world. Read more…
Posted on April 20, 2012 by publishing technology On 17th April, our CEO George Lossius announced the launch of the Digital Gateway project at London Book Fair. The project provides Chinese libraries with their most significant digital publishing platform to date. In this article (first published by Bookbrunch in its London Book Fair China Market Insight supplement), George explains why the gateway represents a major opportunity to publishers in China and the West. In addition to promoting international alliances, the Chinese Government also stated in its most recent five year plan that Chinese publishing should become more competitive and that export revenue is forecast to exceed $1 billion by 2015. This renewed, open and global outlook from China is good news for the international publishing community – both for exporting international content to Chinese shores and for the explosion of Chinese content across the globe. Just weeks after having launched in China, we signed a landmark partnership with the China National Publications Import and Export Corporation (CNPIEC), the largest company fully licensed by the Chinese government to import publications, to join forces on a new project called the Digital Gateway. The concept was to deliver the largest digital content platform to Chinese libraries. Working with over 11,000 academic and public libraries, CNPIEC was actively looking to improve digital access to international content across these institutions and local content internationally, so our timing couldn’t have been better. The aim of the Digital Gateway project was to create the most significant resource for international digital content in China on the pub2web platform. Yet it quickly became apparent that there was also scope for creating a portal to export Chinese content digitally across the globe, in line with the Chinese government’s strategy. Subsequently Ingentaconnect China was born. These dual Chinese projects have grown in size, significance, ambition and potential, so much so that we now expect to make millions of international online resources available in China and vice versa, opening up new avenues of collaboration on content and culture. These are exciting times to be working in China. The new middle classes are booming, literacy rates are healthier than ever and there are several new digital trends, particularly those being pioneered on the trade side by Cloudary, that are already proving to be extremely noteworthy. Despite this, with the exception of journals, the academic side of China’s digital publishing landscape remains largely untapped. But, as in many things, the Chinese are in a perfect position to learn from the experiences of international developments over the last decade, drive growth in the digital academic field, and not only catch up, but also surpass the rest of the world, and quickly. These under-exploited opportunities, coupled with the propensity to grow very
