56 days after it launched its bid for Union Jack Oil (UJO), Reabold (RBD) today announced that acceptances are, as of 1 PM yesterday, up to 6.2% from 5.7% a week prior. That is humiliating.
Last week the new board at Union Jack Oil (UJO) fired off a circular explaining why the takeover by Reabold Resources (RBD)recommended by the old board should be rejected. Today Reabold has fired back. I very much doubt anyone will be swayed by either document, the whole exercise just racks up more PR fluffy and professional fees. It’s more cash for the City to splash on nose candy, less for either company to spend on oil exploration. To be fair to Reabold’s evil PR genius Billy Clegg…
On Friday we will get another update on the level of acceptances for Reabold Resources (RBD) doomed bid for Union Jack Oil (UJO). I fully expect almost nobody has accepted the (crap) offer since last Friday when acceptances were just 5.7%. Friday will also see the new board at Union Jack publish a circular explaining why folks should reject the offer. So today Reabold has played a dirty trick
My letter yesterday to the Panel demonstrates that it is failing in its duty "to ensure fair treatment for all shareholders and an orderly framework for takeover bids" which is what it claims to do. Now Peter Brailey has gone a step further with a detailed letter sent yesterday. Enjoy.
According to its website “The Takeover Panel is an independent body whose main functions are to issue and administer the Takeover Code and to supervise and regulate takeovers and other matters to which the Code applies. Its principal purposes are to ensure fair treatment for all shareholders and an orderly framework for takeover bids.” With regard to the (crap) Reabold Resources (RBD) offer for Union Jack Oil (UJO) it is failing to do its job. I have sent it a letter
I know that the number of shares in Union Jack Oil (UJO) now pledged to reject the (crap) offer from Reabold Resources (RBD) is not 18.13% but now in excess of 23%. And Reabold knows this and has known it since Friday. Yet there is no RNS.
Shareholders in Union Jack Oil (UJO) have received begging letters from Reabold Resources (RBD) offering them a chance to chat to the clowns running Reabold and making the case for its crap all paper offer. But it is NOT telling folks the bad news. The letters are grossly misleading. In fact they contain an outright lie. Have advisors and AIM regulation really approved this deception?
On Friday, Reabold Resources (RBD) finally, only after pressure from this website, fessed up that shareholders owning 14.09% of Union Jack Oil (UJO) equity had sent in letters of Intent saying they would reject their (crap) all share offer. Since then, matters have got worse.
Thanks to Winnileaks I shall instead publish it in full below!
I have dropped a note to Sachin Oza, the CEO of Reabold Resources (RBD) with a series of questions regarding his company’s all paper bid for Union Jack Oil (UJO) in light of matters happening today
