In the Guinness village - a popular watering hole for traders on their day out - there were plenty of rumours that NewMedia Spark, down 0.125p at 7p, had sold its holding in stockbroker Collins Stewart, which was down 11p at 326p.

NewMedia Spark picked up the shares after selling its stake in money broker Tullett to Collins Stewart in January. Last night NewMedia Spark`s chief executive, Michael Whittaker, confirmed the company had made £11m from selling its Collins Stewart shares - and some of that cash could eventually find its way back to shareholders.

"We have stated publicly that we will try to begin share buybacks but we need to overcome a few technical obstacles before that" - such as eliminating the deficit in the group`s profit and loss account - he said. "So in the short term I think we will put the cash on deposit in these uncertain times."

NewMedia SPARK plc ("Spark") announces that following recent discussions it has become apparent that any bid for Spark by Collins Stewart Holdings plc ("Collins Stewart") would not be at a level which the Board of Spark would feel able to recommend to Spark shareholders. Consequently, it has been mutually agreed that discussions should be terminated. Spark also confirms that there are currently no other discussions taking place concerning an offer.



Spark`s German subsidiary Spuetz AG last week sold its entire residual shareholding in Collins Stewart for a consideration of approximately #11m. When added to the #11m cash proceeds from Spuetz`s earlier acceptance of the cash element of Collins Stewart`s bid for Tullett plc (in which Spuetz held an 11% stake), this means that the Spark Group`s cash balances have now risen substantially from the #31.4m shown in its September interim balance sheet.



Spark remains confident in the longer-term potential of its venture capital portfolio, justified by several recent contract wins by portfolio companies. Despite difficult market conditions, Spark will continue to work to maximize this potential. Following the cessation of talks with Collins Stewart, Spark will also work to overcome the technical obstacles to buying back its own shares which were referred to in Spark`s recent interim results announcement. The Board of Spark continues to believe that the implementation of a share buy-back programme would be a prudent and sensible use of part of the Spark Group`s substantial cash balances if the Spark share price remains at a substantial discount to net asset value per share.
