However, they said an offer for the company is unlikely to currently be on the table as finance director Anthony Shearer bought 10,000 shares last week.AntiCitizenOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017073518049848696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-61674208889018871042009-02-03T17:27:00.000+00:002009-02-03T17:27:00.000+00:00Perhaps not...http://cws.huginonline.com/K/133944/...Perhaps not...<BR/><BR/>http://cws.huginonline.com/K/133944/PR/200504/991674_5.html<BR/>28.04.05<BR/>Paul Selway-Swift, Chairman of Singer & Friedlander, said:<BR/>"The offer presents an attractive valuation of Singer & Friedlander and has the unanimous support of the Board. Since Kaupthing Bank became a significant shareholder in Singer & Friedlander in October 2003 it has been very supportive of management, and more recently has also partnered the group in some of our large loan positions."<BR/><BR/>Tony Shearer, Chief Executive Officer of Singer & Friedlander, said:<BR/>"Singer & Friedlander is well positioned in its core markets and its growth strategy over the last year has yielded good returns for shareholders. The combination with Kaupthing Bank will allow Singer & Friedlander to continue to develop this strategy within a larger financial group."AntiCitizenOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017073518049848696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-13610675758346692142009-02-03T16:46:00.000+00:002009-02-03T16:46:00.000+00:00Mind you, the board of a company being taken over ...Mind you, the board of a company being taken over complaining about the people taking them over could've easily sounded like sour grapes.
