Linktone Ltd. (LTON) ( Seite 5)

für denjenigen, der es noch nicht gemerkt hat:

Bei Lton gehen seid Tagen große Stückzahlen im BId herum, die den Kurs "supporten", wahrscheinlich gar ausbrechen lassen (m.E. sehr bullisches Chartbild!)
Meist wird zu Handelsbeginn gekauft und dann abgewartet, deswegen eröffnet Lton regelmäßig hoch und verliert intraday.
Ich denke mal nach den Beteiligungen Ende letzten Jahres wird hinter den Kulissen ordentlich gefeilscht!

Happy Trade

sehr gutes Material

interessant werden beim nächsten CC die Umsätze, die aus der neuen Cross Media Strategie generiert werden, immerhin wurde hier beim letzten CC von Steiergungen von über 100% gesprochen über Jahre...

Selten so ein bullisches Chartbild gesehen, auf der Oberseite werden trotz schwächelnder Indices alle Widerstände genommen.

Über 3.4$ sollte Momentum reinkommen und hoffentlich neue Jahreshochs.

Linktone 2008, wenn da nichts geht, dann weiß ichs auch nicht...

Happy Trade

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.181.958 von Realnetworker am 26.01.08 20:01:38@Realnetworker,

ich finde Linktone derzeit auch sehr spannend. Und der advertising Umsatz wird sicher deutlich wachsen, schon allein durch die zweite Kooperation mit Tianjin Satellite.
Die Frage ist, wie margenstark dieses Geschäft sein kann. Sie treten da ja als Vermittler auf, wenn ich das richtig verstehe. Entscheidend dürfte sein, in wieweit sie dort erheblichen Anteil an zusätzlicher Wertschöpfung einnehmen können.

Die Kooperation mit PT Media ist auch interessant aber zugleich leider auch schwer einschätzbar.
Die haben offensichtlich einen sehr großen Filmbestand. Und exklusiver Content ist sehr wichtig im WVAS-Gschäft.
Allerdings weiß ich nicht, wie attraktiv indonesischer Content in China ist.

Nach der KE hat Linktone 2,70 $ cash je Aktie, insofern erscheint das Risiko gering. Die Chancen sind dagegen m.E. erheblich, aber eben schwer einschätzbar und letztlich nicht quantifizierbar.

Wahrscheinlich prügeln sich die Instis bald um Linktone Shares!

BroadWebAsia Proposes to Make Significant Investment in Linktone Ltd.
Tuesday January 29, 5:49 am ET
Led by Chairman, Brad Greenspan, Founder of MySpace, BroadWebAsia Proposes a Series of Financial and Strategic Transactions to Effect Majority Share Position in Linktone


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- BroadWebAsia, Inc. ("BWA" or "the Company"), a leading online entertainment network in China founded and chaired by Brad Greenspan, the founder of MySpace, today disclosed that it has presented a formal proposal for investment in, and restructuring of, Linktone Ltd. (Nasdaq: LTON - News; "LTON" or "Linktone"), which it believes offers superior value to the agreement recently entered into between Linktone and PT Media Nusantara Citra (the "MNC Transaction").
Under terms of the proposed BWA transaction, BWA or its affiliates will purchase not less than 60% of Linktone's outstanding shares using a combination of:


(1) a tender offer for approximately 25% of the total shares outstanding
of Linktone, or 6.0 million existing American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"),
at a price of $4.18 per ADS; and

(2) a commitment to purchase $10 million of ADSs on the open market at up
to $4.18 per share (assuming a $4.18 ADS purchase price, BWA would
purchase 2.39 million ADS)


The BWA tender offer of $4.18 represents a 10% premium over the price offered in the MNC Transaction.

Additionally, BWA has proposed to contribute certain BWA media assets and strategic partnership arrangements to Linktone that it believes will diversify Linktone's current business, increase revenue streams and generate incremental cash flow, and thereby, enhance shareholder value.

Brad Greenspan, chairman of BWA stated, "We believe that the BWA proposal offers Linktone shareholders an opportunity to enhance the value of their shares by introducing the necessary ingredients to develop and execute an effective business plan for Linktone in 2008 and beyond. BWA's management team has a proven track record in the media, mobile and internet industries. We would provide the strategic leadership and counsel to the Linktone management team to develop and implement an effective restructuring plan. We believe we are the right partners to bring Linktone back to profitability and increase value for shareholders through a China-focused strategy that leverages the many growth opportunities presented by this dynamic, emerging market."

Under the proposal, BWA also would be issued 15 million new Linktone ADSs in exchange for:


i) BWA's contribution of the 'BWA Entertainment Group', which consists
of a profitable entertainment company that creates, sells, and
offers its content across multiple media platforms and two
entertainment focused websites with over 10 million unique visitors

per month including a casual game website. BWA believes there is
significant upside for Linktone to leverage these assets to build a
wireless internet entertainment portal to use the content for
creating mobile and television programming, and to diversify its
advertising service strategy onto the internet.

ii) A 5-year commercial agreement that would allow the Linktone
Advertising Group the right to sell up to 25% of BroadWebAsia's web
inventory. Linktone and BWA would share in the proceeds generated.

iii) A 5-year commercial agreement that would allow Linktone to be the
exclusive Mobile Content Partner for BWA Network's web properties
with over 60 million monthly users.

iv) To help decrease sales and marketing costs for Linktone, BWA would
contribute $10 million in promotional carriage for Linktone to use
to launch new web & wireless products.

v) BWA would purchase at least $3 million in mobile and television
advertising across the Linktone Advertising Service Group over a
period of 36 months.


Finally, commensurate with the closing of the proposed BWA Transaction, Brad Greenspan will serve as Chairman of Linktone and BWA will elect four additional directors to the Linktone Board proposed by BWA.

BroadWebAsia believes that this transaction offers the potential to deliver Linktone and its shareholders: (i) a business model focused clearly on building a mobile and entertainment leader in China; (ii) unique users and web assets; (iii) the internet "genes" necessary to build large viral services that leverage distribution and content (iv) an incentivized and motivated Board of Directors with the ability to work with management to deliver shareholder value.

sauber

aber es kommt ja nicht aus heiterem Himmel

Chartbild sowie Beteiligungen + Übernahmen deuteten ja bereits darauf hin, aber +12/13% Umsatzanhebung ist schon einiges.

Kong & Lton sind tech. bullisch, Lton heute gar mit Ausbruch!!

& wenn Lton Q4 bekannt gibt, ist Q1 bereits "fast" rum, daher gut Trend Q1 an Guidance zu 90% ablsebar...

da geht was, fehlt nur noch Hray mit bullischen Impulsen, aber da kommt arg wenig im Moment
