Habe mal bei techpacific geforscht, und wie es aussieht, sind
die venture cpitalists und der Plan ist, 11 Mio. AUD in
Spike zu pumpen und im Gegenzug 51% der shares zu uebernehmen.
Desweiteren will techpacific die 30%, die PCCW an Spike haelt,
uebernehmen und im Gegenzug erhaelt PCCW shares von techpacific,
wodurch ein indirekter Einfluss von PCCW an Spike Cyberworks
erhalten bleibt.
Na dann froehliches Aktientauschen, ihr Buben...

Wenn der Deal ueber die Buehne ist (31.1), dann kann das nur
gut fuer Spike sein, denke ich...

Hier die Press release vom November letzten Jahres,
nachzusehen bei www.techpacific.com:
