July 2006.
E*TRADE’s unaudited consolidated operating cash reserves (including cash in the newly acquired

million, resulting in a net bank debt position of approximately $5 million.

@ph6

...was ist da los heute? Kurssprung von über 13% in Australien (von 2,30 auf 2,60 AUD), wobei der Kurs innerhalb weniger Minuten unter großem Kaufinteresse sehr stark anzog (gegen 7.30 MEZ). In Frankfurt immerhin noch ein momentaner Anstieg um über 10%.

War längst überfällig, aber mit diesem Tempo hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Der moderate Abwärtstrend der letzten Wochen könnte somit gebrochen sein.

Leider kann ich keine News auftreiben, die das erklären könnten. Weiß jemand mehr? An eine rein charttechnische Ursache mag ich nicht glauben.

Dennoch schließe ich mich der Empfehlung an; ich empfehle ebenfalls, sich diese Aktie mal genauer anzusehen; sie steht
fundamental bestens da!

ETRADE Australia Limited
75% UNAUDITED CORE EBITDA INCREASE IN DECEMBER HALF
Completes HSBC Stockbroking Customer Migration

Sydney, 11 January 2007: ETRADE Australia Limited – ASX Code:ETR (E*TRADE) today announced based upon
unaudited management accounts to 31 December 2006, it anticipates its half-year earnings before interest, depreciation,
amortisation, non-recurring costs and taxation (“Core EBITDA”) should improve by at least 75% over the $7.88 million
recorded in the previous corresponding period.
This should translate into an unaudited increase of between 15% and 20% in net profit before tax, after deducting nonrecurring
costs incurred in the first half.
Online financial services revenue of $39.1 million in the first 6 months is up 67.8% from $23.3million for the same period
last year.
In the 6 months to 31 December 2006, the HSBC acquisition has performed in line with expectations, compared with the
estimated $6 million annualised EBITDA (including synergies and before integration costs and excluding directshares
earnings), previously announced.
“This acquisition is proving an excellent fit for E*TRADE. It has clearly cemented our position as the second largest online
broker in Australia. Since 30 June 2006, E*TRADE’s account numbers have increased by 42.5% and now exceed 350,000,
with assets under administration in excess of $19 billion,” said E*TRADE Chairman, Kerry Roxburgh.
Effective 1 July 2006, E*TRADE acquired HSBC Stockbroking (Australia) Pty Limited (HSBC Stockbroking) from HSBC
Bank Australia (HSBC).
HSBC Stockbroking provided online broking services (equities, warrants, and options) to approximately 40,000 HSBC
retail customer accounts and to 32,000 St.George Bank customer accounts under a white-labelled service that operates as
directshares. All these accounts are now serviced on the E*TRADE platform.
The integration process produced some minor anomalies requiring resolution with HSBC, St George and the relevant
account holders. All issues have been identified and are being resolved, at no financial loss to any customer and without
significant financial impact on E*TRADE.
In conjunction with this acquisition, E*TRADE and HSBC entered into a strategic alliance for the referral of HSBC retail
customers to E*TRADE for online share trading for a minimum term of five years.
Subsequently, E*TRADE and St.George finalised a wholesale online stockbroking arrangement for directshares.
E*TRADE’s Chairman, Kerry Roxburgh said, “The company is pleased with this strong first half financial performance.”
“With some minor exceptions, work on migration and integration of HSBC Stockbroking onto the E*TRADE online
platform is complete. We are delighted with the account retention rate and that HSBC Stockbroking is performing ahead of
our expectations. Throughout the account migration process we have kept our customers, HSBC, St George, the ASX and
ASIC informed of relevant issues,” said Mr Roxburgh.

ANZ announces takeover offer for E*TRADE Australia.

Q: What is today’s announcement about?

Today, ANZ and E*TRADE Australia announced a cash takeover offer by ANZ for all the shares in E*TRADE Australia that ANZ does not already own. ANZ is offering $4.05 cash per E*TRADE share.

Q: How will this impact my relationship with E*TRADE?

Importantly, ANZ are committed to continuing the same product offering, dedicated service and award-winning trading platforms that have made E*TRADE a success. So you can rest assured that your E*TRADE account and the products you use will not change. So it’s business as usual and you are not required to do anything.

Q: Why is ANZ interested in acquiring E*TRADE?

ANZ already has strong links through its 34.2 percent shareholding in E*TRADE and many ANZ customers are already E*TRADE customers. E*TRADE will therefore be a strong part of ANZ’s strategy to be a leader in personal wealth management and investment.

Q: What are the next steps?

ANZ will send a bidders statement to E*TRADE Australia shareholders who will decide whether to accept the offer or not. This offer closes on 10 April. The E*TRADE board is recommending shareholders accept the ANZ bid.

Q: Where can I find more information?

Börse Australien fester: Etrade Australien explodiert im Übernahmerausch

Den Star des heutigen Handelstages konnte aber Australien`s zweitgrösster Internet-Aktien-Broker Etrade Australia (918892) mit einem Kurssprung von sagenhaften 0,45 oder 12 % auf 4,15 australische Dollar stellen, nachdem die drittgrösste Bank des Landes ANZ-Banking (864144) den Broker für 4,05 australische Dollar je Anteilscheine für insgesamt 211 Mio. US-Dollar übernehmen will.

ANZ bank has moved to buy out the rest of E*Trade Australia, announcing a recommended cash takeover offer valued at about $270 million.
ANZ, which owns 34.2 per cent of E*Trade, has offered to buy the remaining shares at $4.05 a share.

“A committee of independent directors of E*Trade Australia have said they will unanimously recommend that E*Trade Australia's shareholders accept ANZ's offer in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert's report,” the bank said in a statement.

E*Trade independent directors have indicated they intend to accept the $4.05 offer for their own holdings of E*Trade Australia shares.

ANZ group managing director, personal, Brian Hartzer said the acquisition of the rest of ETrade was further step in the bank's strategy to be a leader in personal financial services in Australia.

“With ANZ customers representing about a third of E*Trade Australia's customer-base, we are the natural owner of E*Trade,” he said.

ANZ plans to retain the E*Trade brand.

At 2.15pm, ANZ's shares raced up 45c to $29.70. E*Trade shares had jumped 40c to $4.10 by 2.50pm AEDT, perhaps indicating the market expects another, higher bid for the company.

jemand ne ahnung wie weit das jetzt gediehen ist mit anz?
Ich hab noch keine benachrichtigung von meinem broker dazu.
Entweder die haben mich vergessen, oder es istz noch nix handfest.

[ph6]

Moin!
bei Etrade wird wohl noch etwas gepokert werden. Es werden jedenfalls immer mehr Stimmen laut, die den fairen Wert der Aktie bei 6,0 $ (ich auch ) sehen.

Sollte der Markt und dadurch auch Etrade AU allerdings zu sehr nach unten laufen, hat ANZ auch die Möglichkeit das Angebot (4,05 $) noch zurück zu ziehen.

Da kann noch einiges passieren..........

ANZ sits tight at $4.05 for Etrade
Tim Boreham
March 05, 2007

THE ANZ Bank is resisting pressure from major Etrade holders to boost its friendly $268 million bid for the two-thirds of the online broker it does not already own, despite Etrade's share price trading consistently above the $4.05 offer price.
ANZ spokesman Paul Edwards yesterday said the bank did not have any alternative plans in mind.

"We are focused on the $4.05 bid and we are not looking at other options at this stage," he said.

Etrade shareholders including Caledonia Investments and online tip sheet Invest4Profit have argued that Etrade scrip is worth up to $6 a share, with the price on offer failing to account for the heady valuations of internet assets.

Caledonia holds just over 9 per cent while Invest4Profit claims its subscribers account for a further 10 per cent. US associate Etrade owns a further 6 per cent.

The ANZ already owns 34 per cent of the broker. In its bidder's statement released late on Friday, the bank warns no other party can acquire the broker without the ANZ's support.

"If ANZ's offer does not proceed and no other offers are made for Etrade shares ... it is likely that the trading price of Etrade shares will fall," the bank said.

According to the statement, the bid is at a 43 per cent premium to the average price of Etrade shares over the past six months. Etrade shares have doubled in the past 12 months, spurred by both healthy trading volumes and the renewed interest in online assets. The ANZ also pledges to run Etrade in "substantially the same manner as it is presently being conducted", with all Etrade workers continuing as employees of the broker.

While the ANZ's on-market offer is subject to a 90 per cent acceptance clause, it is understood the bank would settle for a take-up beyond this level, leaving the dissident shareholders as minorities in an ongoing listed entity.

Arguably, any further broader market jitters following last week's 3.8 per cent sell-off would help the ANZ's case. Under the merger terms, the ANZ can walk away from the deal if the ASX 200 industrials index falls 12.5 per cent within the offer period.

A nervous market, however, doesn't necessarily harm the likes of Etrade. As the nation's second biggest online broker with 350,000 clients, Etrade last week experienced enormous volumes from its retail-oriented client base.

This was especially the case on Wednesday, when the market shed 2.7 per cent.

"The volumes you pass through on days like that are enormous compared to a stock-standard day," said Etrade chief executive Brett Spork.

"February was a very good month and it looks like the trend is going very well for March as well."

But conditions will change if the market falls too much more. "A little bit of volatility is okay, but too much and you will see participants stick to the sidelines for a while."

Etrade is expected to issue a target statement - including an independent expert's report - within two to three weeks.

Etrade shares hit a high of $4.33 on February 22 and closed last Friday at $4.21, still a 4 per cent premium above the ANZ's offer price.

Mr Spork said he had been in contact with Etrade shareholders, but in relation to last week's interim results rather than the offer.
