Takeover bid for Alliance Resources announced yesterday.
I noticed AGS up today but didn't look into why …
After a bit of reading some interesting stats come to light.
Abbotsleigh Pty Ltd is AGS major shareholder
Gandel Metals is a subsidiary of Abbotsleigh and therefore has a 32% voting power in AGS
Ian Gandel is the sole Director of Gandel Metals and is also a Director of AGS
So in the TO offer Gandel is trying to put doubt into AGS holders to get them to sell, yet wants to take full control of the Company and delist it ….. seems a lot of unnecessary risk on his behalf
Given the recent drill results, I'd say he's not offering enough cash … an independent report has been commissioned by the non associated Directors ……. the valuation could be interesting …
Given my suspicion of subterfuge at the Spec end of the market, it wouldn't surprise me if the whole event has been carefully planned to showcase the potential value of AGS simply to get the SP to a more realistic level before they need to raise further cash down the track …. If I were a holder, I'd be fairly happy with that plan
