FIH Group PLC said on Monday it still views a potential takeover approach from Dolphin Fund Ltd as unwelcome and recommends an existing bid from Staunton Holdings Ltd. Read full article
Yes, no doubt about it. Money is probably the last thing on Sr Elsztain's mind though I bet that it's well up their in the minds of the Rowland family and the others who may benefit from the 2001 Purpose Trust. Now might be a good time for FIG to recruit a few more financial regulators to support the Financial Secretary, what with the City losing its European lustre, Gibraltar looking like it's going back to Spain and the Channel Islands back to France. After all, isn't that why we keep our Overseas Territories?
@dove boy
You really have No idea about what you are writing !! just stringing along a set of random comments is just showing everyone how Little you know about the UK and the World in general!!!.
a) Because the UK can cede it back just as easily if pressured in the same way that Spain was when it was on the wrong end of the military and economic argument.
b) The French Republic is the successor to the Kingdom of France and the Duke of Normandy owed loyalty to the French crown before 1066 and a bit beyond actually. The Channel Islands are UK overseas territory even if described as Dependent Territories.
The Channel islands are specifically a Crown dependency. A special status. Not part of the UK. Not members of the Commonwealth & not members of the EU. Ruled by Queen Liz - or the Duke of Normandy as she is known locally in those islands.
Rowland family bid refused by the shareholders...
Todays comment from Ovets47..., an old FIC/FIH shareholder...:
”I 《THINK》 this says we need a new BoD.
This lot recommended that we give our company away to themselves (i.e. the Rat family).
Who could possibly have any further confidence in this bunch of mobsters?”
That leaves Sr Elsztain free to make his bid or walk away, as in put up or shut up. If I were him I'd forget it and just concentrate instead on my controlling investment in RDC. since the colonists don't seem at all concerned about that for some reason.
Cmdr. McDod....
I dunno...
FIH group plc.is an interesting” company for a speculative mind like Sr. Elsztain....
In the past years FIH has managed to make quite a lot of revenue for themselves via their two Mississippi bubbles...:
- Their Falkland Gold and Minerals Limited aka FGML... (Ahhh...!! Those gold rush days...!...;-)
- Their Falkland Oil and Gas Limited aka FOGL................ (Ahhh...!! Those gold rush days...!...;-)
Well anyway, his continuing interest is doing a damn fine job of distracting the colonists and the FCO even if, as a result of his self promotion, some of the rest of us are now aware of his other speculative approach to control of a key service provider in the islands.
We have to defend OUR company... As Ovets47 so well wrote last friday...:
”FIH Must Have A New Board
This was a cynically planned raid by the Rat family, with Greasy Edmund nothing more than their proxy, to enable them to get their greasy little hands on the real assets of Falkland Island Holdings (as it was) for a pittance.
The whole thing stinks.
After this, we must have a new BoD as soon as possible, as this mob cannot be trusted with our company.” http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:LSE:FIH&display=discussion

What can a bunch of pansy MOD's do against a virile ROCKER like Elsztain... stretching out his monies, causing the Argentinean Sea to go back and dividing tthe waters so that the Argentinites can reach our promessed Is-land...?

Apr 05th, 2017 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Please explain how:-
a) Gibraltar can be 'going back to Spain' when Spain ceded their sovereignty 'in perpetuity'
b) How the Channel Islands (which are not an overseas territory) can 'go back to France' when they have never, ever, ever been a part of France.
Oh I do love it when you get one on the hook.....

With vision like yours, you should have gone to specsavers.
With sparkling and original wit like that you should be on the Stage and as it leaves in half an hour you'll need to get packing.
