JJB turns to investors for £30m cash lifeline


23 Dec 2010

Sportswear retailer JJB has turned to Microsoft founder Bill Gates and other investors to raise more than £30m to prevent its collapse.

The Wigan-based group, which employs 6,300 staff, warned earlier this month it was likely to violate the terms of a £25m loan as trade, hampered by the weather, continued to deteriorate.

The company, which was forced to raise £100m in a rights issue just 12 months ago, said it had agreed in principle to raise the cash with two major shareholders as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust. The Bank of Scotland will also waive the loan covenant it was set to breach at the end of January.

Furthermore, the board revealed John Clare has stepped down as chairman. The former Currys, Dixons and DSGi chief executive will be replaced Mike McTighe, a former chief of global operations at Cable & Wireless.

The announcement came as JJB said sales had continued to be below expectations as the heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures sweeping the country continued to hit damage performance.

Increased Simon Group bid for CSC could scupper Trafford Centre sale, say analysts


20 Dec 2010

Exclusive by Adam Jupp

THE proposed sale of the Trafford Centre could collapse if the firm looking to buy it receives a takeover offer of 450p per share or more.

Analysts say investors in Capital Shopping Centres (CSC) could be tempted to sell to Simon Property Group if the US firm tables a bid above its current indicative proposal of 425p per share.

Speculation at the weekend suggests that Simon is already considering upping its offer to 435p per share, valuing CSC at £3.1bn.

Simon has said any concrete offer is conditional on CSC abandoning the £1.6bn deal it has struck with Peel Group to acquire the Manchester mall.

The Indianaoplis-based mall owner has until 5pm on January 12 to indicate whether it will make a concrete offer.

CSC rejected its indicative proposal, saying it remained committed to the transaction and that 425p significantly undervalued the company.

But Execution Noble analyst Michael Burt said: “I would argue there’s an element of posturing in there.

A price of 425p may be insufficient to do business, but the fact remains that there is a price for anything.”

Shareholders were set to vote on the deal – which would see Peel become CSC’s largest shareholder, with a 19.9 per cent stake – at an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for Monday, December 20.

But CSC agreed to adjourn it until late January after receiving details of the indicative proposal from Simon, which already has a five per cent stake in CSC.

Despite postponing the special meeting, CSC rejected Simon’s proposal, saying the company was trying to “frustrate the Trafford Centre acquisition” and pointing to the fact no concrete offer had been made.

Mr Burt said: “So, the language is very aggressive but there comes a point when people will do business and I think that price is probably lower than 500p.”

He added: “Some UK shareholders are already saying they would bite Simon’s hands off at 425p.

At the end of the day, Peel will be getting in at 367p and shareholders are now being told they could be offered 425p or more, so that’s an attractive option, there is no doubt about it.”

The Trafford Centre agreement would see Peel invest £75m and transfer the mall to CSC, in exchange for a 19.9 per cent stake. Peel owner John Whittake

Phoenix Gold in subdued ASX debut


19 Dec 2010

Junior gold explorer Phoenix Gold has made a subdued debut on the Australian stock exchange.

Phoenix shares were down one cent, or five per cent, at 19 cents at 1418 AEDT on low trading volumes after reaching a high of 22 cents in earlier trade.

The company raised its maximum initial public offer subscription target of $8 million through the issue of 40 million shares at price of 20 cents per share.

Kalgoorlie-based Phoenix is focused on Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields and has entered into deals to acquire projects in the Kunanalling, Carbine-Zuleika and Grant’s Patch regions.

“The projects are estimated to contain aggregate mineral resources of 977,000 ounces of gold, and the directors believe that there are good prospects of increasing this total,” Phoenix said in its prospectus.

Ofcom: 0800 calls should be free from mobiles


19 Dec 2010

The communications regulator has also suggested that the way phone votes and directory enquiries are advertised should be made simpler.

It could force companies to reveal how much a call will cost and how much the company will make from the call.

Ed Richards, Ofcom’s Chief Executive, has called the current system “opaque, confused and uncertain”, as he revealed that research showed that the public underestimate the cost of calls to 09 numbers, and overestimate those beginning with 08.

A Consumer Experience Report recently revealed that more people now use mobile phones than landlines, as mobile call charges have halved in the last five years, falling from 15.1p per minute to 8.8p per minute.

It also revealed that over 90 per cent of people now use a mobile phone, an increase of ten percentage points in the last five years, compared to landline phone lines, which fell to 84% of households.

March target for Griffin power sale


15 Dec 2010

The Collie power stations of Rick Stowe’s failed Griffin Coal business are likely to be sold by the end of March, administrator Brian McMaster said today.

The KordaMentha partner yesterday concluded the sale of Griffin’s struggling Collie coal operations to India’s Lanco Infratech for a reported $830 million, guaranteeing a near full return to Griffin’s myriad creditors, including US bondholders owed over $430 million.

The sale, for a significantly higher price than most observers expected, leaves Griffin’s Bluewaters I and Bluewaters II coal fired power stations at Collie as the primary assets still to be sold or recapitalised.

Though the power assets are owned by a subsidiary of the failed Griffin Coal business, they are operated by a separate Griffin Group company which did not go into administration.

Mr McMaster said that with the sale of the coal operations now finalised, there was no rush to wrap up a deal for the power assets, which were currently profitable. Full Article…
