Die Aktie hat in den letzten 3 Tagen 150% gemacht und
nirgends gibt es Nachrichten darüber?
Die letzte Diskussion von dieser Butze ist von April 2003.
Da muß es doch noch mehr geben die ein paar von den
Aktien-Leichen in ihren Depots liegen haben!
Wer weiß was da abgeht? 150%!!

Gap Close 8,70. Lasst die Finger von der Aktie, hat mich beinahe unter die Brücke gebracht!! Das bei 119 Euro!
auf 0,01 Cent! Ist lange her, aber das Drecksteil hat es nicht verdient!!

Auf Xetra ist der Kurs gerade mal halb so hoch. Habe noch eine Gratis-Aktie von denen im Depot. Hätte ich doch auch mal bei 100 EUR verkauft. Von mir aus können die aber auch versinken, dann lasse ich mir mein Papier als effektives Stück ausliefern.
Könnte da nicht was Seriöses hinterstecken?
Jajaaa, ich hör schon euer Gelächter!!
Aber irgend ein Grund muß es doch haben das die so abgeht.
Hab ja immerhin 4 Stück von den im Dep liegen!
Waren ja mal 4000! Hach jaa, lang ist es her.
Wir waren jung .... und brauchten das Geld
Also, ernsthaft! Was kann da los sein?

qxl führt verkaufsgespräche: http//:www.uk-wire.com.
Ausserdem scheint Credit Suisse First Bosten, die Hausbank von ricardo.ch wieder groß einzusteigen. Die Aktienanzahl wird von 1,28 Mio Stück auf 1,775 Mio erhöht. Was das mit den C Convertible Bonds auf sich hat, weiss ich allerdings nicht.

Das könnte doch bedeuten wenn wieder genug
Aktien in Umlauf kommen gibt es wieder einen Split.
Unter der Adresse http//:www.uk-wire.com ist leider nichts.
Da kommt die Meldung: Unbekannt
Wichtig wird erst mal der Sprung über die 10 oder??

hallo format c!
www.uk-wire.com funktioniert doch. du brauchst bloß qxl einzugeben und schon bekommst du alle qxl-nachrichten. meiner meinung nach wird die aufstockung der aktienanzahl nicht in den freefloat gelangen, sondern CSFB vorbehalten bleiben. damit würden die kleinanleger nicht einem sqeeze out zum opfer fallen. ich könnte mir denken, dass qxl bzw. ricardo.ch die schulden, die sie bei CSFB möglicherweise noch hat, mit diesem aktienpaket gegenrechnt. was vermutest du, was ebay die internetplattformen dänemark, norwegen, schweiz, schweden und polen wert sein könnte? ebay hat am freitag für 225 mio euro die internetplattform www.marktplaats.nl übernommen.
so long!!!!!!

Wow, da is bei QXL ja eindeutig Aktivität zu verzeichnen!!
Haben wir am Ende einen richtig heißen Lottoschein im Dep
liegen mit Gewinngarantie??
Hoffentlich ist das nicht wieder nur ein kurzer Mantelzock!!

Heute kam ein Übernahmeangebot zu 700 Pence. Deswegen auch der Kurssprung...
nehmt bloß nicht das angebot von tiger acquisition an! sie ist eine tochtergesellschaft von great hill funds, boston USA, einem medienkonzern.
der witz ist, dass qxl-direktoren an dieser firma beteiligt sind. darüber hinaus scheint es doch wohl ungereimt, dass nicht das urteil in polen abgewartet und erst dann verkauft wird. ich vermute, dass qxl versucht, jetzt die letzten qxl-aktien einzusammeln, um dann an ebay für wesentlich mehr geld als sie uns aktuell bieten, zu verkaufen. also auf jeden fall: erst mal abwarten!!!!!!!!

Hoffe die können uns nicht mit irgendeinen Taschenspielertrick
die Aktien abluchsen oder rausdrängen!
Also ich würde .... na sagen wir mal .... 3?.. Aktien
von Ebay für 1 QXL nehmen
Oder ist das zu übertrieben?

nö..., sehe ich auch so! auf jeden fall will ich meine kohle zurückhaben!!
haben wir irgendeine chance uns gegen so ein mieses spiel zu wehren??? wenn ja, welche? was würde passieren, wenn die offerte von den aktionären nicht angenommen wird
Wenn alles nach Recht und Gesetz abläuft können die uns die
Dinger nicht einfach wegnehmen.
Aber wenn die das doch machen,.... tja ... Große Haie,
kleine Fische, war doch grad im Kino.
Ob der Kurs noch weiter nach oben gepeitscht wird damit das
mit dem Aktientausch besser passt?
Wieviel?? 2 ... 3 .... oder bloß EINE

die deutsche bank ag hat am 29.11.2004 97.647 aktien gekauft und hält damit 5,74% an qxl damit dürfte ein squeeze out für uns kleinaktionäre wohl nicht mehr möglich sein. also auf jeden fall halten.
wer zu diesem zeitpunkt das übernahmeangebot annimmt, ist ganz schön doof . die deutsche bank ist gerade eingestiegen und hält 5,74% an der bude: www.uk-wire.com damit wird es wohl kein squeeze out geben. ausserdem sind am 26.11.2004 ca. 500.000 neue aktien in den freefloat gelangt (fälligkeit der convertible bonds). kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die bei qxl noch genügend kohle in der tasche haben, um die alle aufzukaufen
unter diesen gegebenheiten könnte ich mir denken, dass dieser jämmerliche versuch (qxl hat extra eine firma in usa gegründet, um sich selbst aufzukaufen)die kleinaktionäre rauszudrängen, scheitern wird.
so long!

deutsche bank hat auf 104.770 aufgestockt und hält damit 6,16%. ein guy thomas hat auch zugeschlagen: 56.000 = 3,32%. ein squeeze out wird damit wohl immer unwahrscheinlicher. so long!

Ich glaube die wittern irgendwas!
Wenn schon die Deutsche Bank da ein bißchen mitzockt,
könnte doch an der ganzen Sache was dran sein!
Aber irgendwie scheint bei 10 noch eine kleine Hemmschwelle zu sein.

Wer verkauft denn da 5!!! Aktien???
Was soll denn so etwas?

ich hab irgendwann mal 400 Stück zu ca. € 4,00 gekauft.
seitdem öfters Split und umbuchungen.
auf meinem Depotauszug ist seit letztem Jahr nichts mehr drauf.
kohle ist weg und bleibt weg??

400 Stück?
Hmm, dass könnte daran liegen weil der letzte
Split aus 1000 Stück 1 gemacht hat.
Demzufolge waren die 400 nicht "Splitbar". Wenn ich das
mal so nennen darf.
Könnte noch Ärgerlicher werden wenn es tatsächlich
für die restlichen im Umlauf Befindlichen, als Tausch
Ebay-Papiere gibt.

die qxl-aktionäre rebellieren. könnt ihr bei finanznachrichten.de nachlesen. damit dürfte die rechnung der direktoren wohl nicht aufgehen
Wann sehen wir die 10?
gar nicht. höchstens nach einer neuen offerte.
Nananaaa, 14 Cent fehlen nur noch!
Schade das man kein tieferen Blick ins Orderbuch werfen kann!

die gewinnspanne ist doch aktuell viel zu gering: der kurs notiert bei ca. 9,71 Euro, das übernahmeangebot zwischen 10 und 11 euro. ausserdem ist die bude mit qxl-polen wesentlich mehr wert. darüber hinaus wäre eine übernahme durch ebay recht interessant, da sich qxl in den märkten schweden, norwegen, dänemark und polen in der jeweiligen landessprache etabliert hat. im gegensatz dazu ist ebay in den eben genannten ländern nur in englisch vertreten bzw. bietet eine umleitung auf ebay.com oder ebay.co.uk. ebay muss also erstmal die sprachbarriere in diesen ländern abbauen, um nachhaltig fuß fassen zu können. was liegt denn da näher, als eine bereits in der landessprache etablierte plattform einfach aufzukaufen? so long
in london steht der kurs bei BPC 692,5 also bemerkennswert nahe am übernahmeangebot von BPC 700,00. im umkehrschluss könnte das bedeuten, dass bald eine neue offerte ansteht.
War auch einmal Großaktionär mit 11000 Stück. Jetzt 11.
Habe heute von Consors das Aufkaufangebot bekommen. Werde aber nicht verkaufen, sondern will sehen was kommt, die gut 100€ bringen mich auch nicht mehr um.

in london steht der kurs mittlerweile bei BPC 711 also 11 BPC über dem angebot. da wissen die insider schon mehr als wir.
@landman
finde ich gut, dass du nicht verkaufst. ich mache das aus nicht - schon aus prinzip. ich finde es eine unverschamtheit, dass die qxl-direktoren versuchen sich durch das hintertürchen zu schleichen, um dann dick abzusahnen. schließlich sind wir kleinaktionäre es gewesen, die ihnen das überleben mit unserer kohle ermöglicht haben! ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass krippenbauer (joseph ackermann) die auch ganz schön in die zange nimmt und sie auf den weg der tugend zurückführt, sprich seriöses angebot am offiziellen markt. so long!

Tja Bellamy,
was sagste jetzt?
Die 10 Euro sind genommen.
Ich glaub da brodelt was.

coole sache, sag ich da nur! vermute mal, dass die schon eine neue offerte vorbereiten!
Inwiefern wirkt sich das alles auf ricardo.de und seine wenigen aktionäre aus? warum macht es keinen sinn, da einzusteigen - sonst wäre ja der kurs schon ganz woanders?
Also bei 100 würd ich sagen wäre der erste Split
mal wieder fällig.
Damit man wieder die frühere Anzahl an Aktien wieder im
Dep liegen hat.
Ok, Spaß beiseite. Wer hat Infos über irgendwelche neuen
Offerten?

qxl veröffentlichte solche sachen immer freitags vormittag. morgen ist freitag. bis morgen will meine bank meine zustimmung für die offerte haben - kriegt sie aber nicht. die angebotsfrist von qxl endet offiziell am 17.12.2004 - schon wieder ein freitag! wenn qxl die entwicklungstendenz absehen kann, denke ich mal, dass die nächste woche irgendwas sagen werden. so long!
so leute, jetzt kommt aktion ins spiel!!!!!!!!!

the possibility of making a cash offer for ricardo to compete with the current

there can be no assurance that an offer from Mr Robson and Mr Bachmann or an
investment vehicle directed by them will be forthcoming. A further announcement
will be made in due course.

also das Barabfindungsangebot von Tiger würde ich nicht annehmen, man sollte daran denken, daß QXL seinen Anlegern(Gläubigern) noch Schmerzensgeld in angemessener Höhe schuldet.
Rating: QXL kaufen trotz der aktuellen 10,80€(auch u.g. eben weil die DB hier massiv zum halali überging) viel Freude in Zukunft damit!

Der Dax -1,5%
Ich denk, guckst mal wie weit QXL wieder
unter die 10 Euro gesackt ist.
Und was sehe ich?! 11!
Börse kann doch auch ganz schön sein oder?

Na endlich ist mal ne Diskussion über QXL entbrannt. Ich denke, da steht ein Turnaround bevor. Wer interessiert sich sonst für diesen Laden, wenn es da nix mehr zu holen gibt? Ich verkaufe auch nicht und warte mal ab, ob der Preis weiter nach oben geht. Anstatt sich um das Wohl der Aktionäre zu kümmern, wollen die Herren Vorstände sich offensichtlich selbst die Taschen vollstopfen! Ob ich meinen Einsatz wiedersehe, steht wohl in den Sternen. Die Bemerkung aus dem letzten Geschäftsbericht, das sich die letzten Investitionen nicht so schnell in Erfolg ummünzen lassen, dürfte wohl eher eine Anfachung zum Verkauf für die Kleinaktionäre gewesen sein.

Hallo, bin heute mal eingestiegen. Da scheint was ähnliches zu laufen wie bei Primacom. Da ist der Versuch vom Vorstand gescheitert die Kleinaktionäre zu verarschen. Eine Übernahme durch Ebay scheint plausibel zu sein, da Ebay ja vorgeworfen wird nicht mehr so schöne Wachstumsraten zu haben. Da käme QXL/Ricardo gar nicht ungelegen. Bin gespannt, Risiko ist nicht sehr hoch, da auf jedenfall der Übernahmepreis rausspringen wird.

QXL - Die englische Internet-Auktionssite QXL ist einer gefallenen Stars, der noch vom Dot-Com-Zusammenbruch übrig ist. Letzte Woche erklärte sich die Geschäftsführung des Unternehmens zu einem Management Buyout in Höhe von 23 Millionen Dollar bereit. Wie es jetzt aussieht, könnte dieser Deal in letzter Minute noch durch eine konkurrierende Übernahme-Offerte gesprengt werden. Die beiden Londoner Geschäftsleute Kenn Robson und Andrin Bachmann haben inzwischen erklärt, dass sie ein Gebot für QXL in Erwägung ziehen. In ihrer Mitteilung lassen die Herren verlauten, dass es zu diesem frühen Zeitpunkt noch keine Garantie für eine Offerte geben könne. Robson ist ein Unternehmensberater mit Erfahrung im Telecom-Sektor. Bachmann ist Partner in einer Venture-Capital-Firma. (pol)

Entschuldigung-habe eben die Quelle vergessen: finanznachrichten.de
Heute ist mir doch tatsächlich von der Bank das
freiwillige Barabfindungsgebot ins Haus geflattert.
Die können sich ihre GBP 7,00 an den Hut stecken!
Ich willige nur ein bei 2 Ebay Aktien pro 1 QXL.
So wie es schon vor ca. .... 6 Monaten (weiß nich mehr genau)
aus einigen, besser gesagt EINER Quelle kolportiert wurde.

In Frankfurt sind wir jetzt bei sage und schreibe 11,45 EUR! Die Insider wissen wohl wieder mehr. Könnte mir denken, dass kurz vor Börsenschluss eine Message kommt. So long!
Waren aber nur kurz die 11,45
Ebay steht bei ca. 86 Öre, sollten wir mal nicht
ganz so gierig sein und uns auch mit nur 1 Aktie
von denen als Tausch zufrieden geben??
Obwohl, Ricardo stand doch glaub ich mal bei 100 Euro oder?
Wer da investiert war hat ne Menge Kohle verloren!
Und dann der Aktien-Reverssplit. Da blieb nix mehr übrig!
Gibt es noch welche aus dieser Zeit?
Jemand der bei 50, 60 oder noch mehr bei Ricardo eingestiegen ist?
Also ich hab mal für glaube ich um die 20 Euro Lycos Europe Aktien gekauft. (jaja lacht nur!!)
Gibts noch mehr Geschädigte hier die noch leben?
Oder hängen die jetz alle auf dem Dachboden mit ner Schnur um den Hals?

Ricardo habe ich zwar nie angefaßt, aber mit QXL habe ich auch genug verloren. Die sollen ja mehr wie GBP 2 Mrd. verbraten haben. Und was ist bei rausgekommen? Lächerlich! Aber vielleicht wird es ja noch was. Es würden nicht so viele Interessenten einsteigen, wenn da keine Aussicht auf langfristigen Erfolg, so oder so, wäre. Und in Polen gewinnen die den Streit ja offensichtlich auch. Um so unverschämter, diesen Anteil nicht zu betrachten - denke, der ist in der Offerte zur Übernahme nämlich nicht berücksichtigt (aus dem Geschäftsbericht ist er ja auch ausgeklammert). Ricardo.ch wirft inzwischen Gewinne ab! Und QXL dürfte nächstes Jahr den break even doch auch schaffen. Also ich brauche 74 € je Aktie, um ohne Verlust aus QXL rauszukommen.
Booaahh!! 74 je Aktie?!?! Das is n Pfund!!
Aber eigentlich hieße das ja 1 Ebay-Aktie pro QXL Ricardo.
Is vielleicht gar nicht mal so unwahrscheinlich.
Die sollen ja nicht ankommen mit 10 QXL-Ric gegen 1 Ebay!!

Na, ich mit meinen 74 € bin doch noch gut dran, weiter vorn habe ich was von 119 € gelesen. Fakt ist, daß der Kurs schon bei 8,2 GBP in diesem Jahr gehandelt wurde als es noch schlechter um QXL stand. Nun haben die die Verluste stark reduziert, Polen herrausgerechnet, Ricardo nicht eingerechnet und da kommen lumpige 7 GBP als Offerte rüber, da stimmt doch was nicht.

Heute ist der Kurs in London runtergekommen, obwohl der nächste einsteigt, kapier ich nicht ganz. Vielleicht, weil die Übernahme in die Ferne rückt?
Na bitte, geht doch, der englische Markt scheint zu erwachen. GBP 7,90 um 11:56.
Tja, und nu?
Alle Gerüchte sind raus, nix passiert mehr,
der Kurs eiert um die 11 rum und ein Übernahmegebot
von dem kleineren Konkurrenten Ebay läßt noch auf
sich warten.
Börse kann ziemlich frustrierend sein!

Streit um Eigentum an polnischer Auktionssite Allegro.pl
In einem Streit um das Eigentum an der polnischen Auktionswebsite Allegro.pl ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft Posen. Neben dem niederländischen Manager der Site, Arjan Bakker, ist auch der polnische Rechtsanwalt Przemyslaw Rogowski des schweren Diebstahls angeklagt. Die Website wird von der von der britischen QXL Ricardo im Jahr 2000 in Polen gegründeten QXL Poland betrieben. Aufgrund einer Änderung der gesetzlichen Vorschriften in Polen musste Anfang 2001 das Grundkapital von QXL Poland von 4.000 auf 50.000 Zloty erhöht werden. Diese Kapitalerhöhung nutzte Bakker zur Übernahme der polnischen Firma.

Den Kampf um Allegro.pl wollen sie weiterführen und zeigen sich siegesgewiss, wenngleich sie noch eine längere Laufzeit der Verfahren erwarten. Allegro.pl, deren Umsätze stark gestiegen sind, würde einen wesentlichen Teil des Wertes von QXL Ricardo ausmachen. Gemeinsam mit Aukcje24.pl hätte das Unternehmen eine sehr starke Position am polnischen Online-Versteigerungsmarkt. (Daniel AJ Sokolov) / (jk/c`t)

Streit um Eigentum an polnischer Auktionssite Allegro.pl
In einem Streit um das Eigentum an der polnischen Auktionswebsite Allegro.pl ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft Posen. Neben dem niederländischen Manager der Site, Arjan Bakker, ist auch der polnische Rechtsanwalt Przemyslaw Rogowski des schweren Diebstahls angeklagt. Die Website wird von der von der britischen QXL Ricardo im Jahr 2000 in Polen gegründeten QXL Poland betrieben. Aufgrund einer Änderung der gesetzlichen Vorschriften in Polen musste Anfang 2001 das Grundkapital von QXL Poland von 4.000 auf 50.000 Zloty erhöht werden. Diese Kapitalerhöhung nutzte Bakker zur Übernahme der polnischen Firma. Alle neuen Anteile im Nennwert von 46.000 Zloty oder 92 Prozent der gesamten Anteile wurden von Rechtsanwalt Rogowski für eine NIAA SP z o.o. eingetragen.

1 Euro ist etwa 4,45 Zloty wert. Damit hat qxl-Polen (www.allegro.pl) 2003 einen Umsatz von ca. 84 Mio Euro gemacht. Wir sehen also, dass qxl aktuell völlig unterbewertet ist. Demnach macht qxl dann etwa 100 Mio Umsatz/ Jahr. Dies dürfte einen Reingewinn von 5 bis 10 Mio Euro/ Jahr geben; und das bei 1,7 Mio Aktien. DAnn dürfte der Kurs nach Rückführung von allegro Polen bei 50 und mehr Euro liegen.

QXL For Sale At Knock-Down Price
Publish Date : 11/29/2004 9:46:00 AM Source : Onlypunjab.com Team
A former darling of the dotcom boom is on the brink of being sold for £11.9m - four years after being valued at £1.5bn.
QXL Ricardo, an online auctioneer that was once tipped to be Europe`s answer to eBay, said a 700p-a-share offer had been tabled by its management team.
QXL Ricardo, an online auctioneer once tipped to be Europe`s answer to eBay, said a 700p-a-share offer had been tabled by its management team.
The approach was recommended by independent directors as "fair and reasonable" as QXL has yet to make an annual profit and faces challenges in key markets, including the UK.
Investors paid £650 for each share of QXL at the time of its flotation in 1999, but then saw their value fall to just £1 at the start of this year.
Shares have rallied since then and jumped again after the recommended offer from Tiger Acquisition Corporation was confirmed.
Tiger Acquisition is backed by US private equity firm Great Hill Partners and involves QXL Chief Executive Mark Zaleski and two other directors.
QXL, which operates in 10 European countries, was founded by former Financial Times journalist Tim Jackson in 1997.
Members of its websites buy and sell goods such as sports gear, electronics and collectables - worth more than £20m in the three months to June 30.
Explaining their decision to recommend the bid, independent directors said QXL had yet to make an annual profit and is unlikely to be able to pay a maiden dividend "for the foreseeable future".
In its most recent market update, QXL said it reduced half-yearly losses to £383,000 from £6m previously, while turnover was 62% higher at £2.98m.

Summary
The Independent Directors of QXL ricardo plc and the Board of Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited (“TAC”) announce the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made for the whole of the issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of QXL ricardo plc (“QXL” or the “Company”).
The Offer, which is wholly in cash, will be 700 pence for each QXL Share and values the whole of the existing issued ordinary share capital of QXL at approximately £11.9 million.
The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 113.7 per cent. to the Closing Price of 327.5 pence per QXL Share on 11 November 2004 (being the last Business Day prior to the announcement by QXL on 12 November 2004 that it was in discussions that could lead to an offer being made for QXL).
TAC was incorporated in England and Wales on 24 November 2004 at the direction of Great Hill Partners GP for the purposes of making the Offer. Upon the Offer being declared wholly unconditional, shares in TAC will be owned by the Great Hill Funds, the Management Team and Robert Montgomery (a business associate of Jonathan Bulkeley unconnected with QXL and Great Hill Partners).
The Independent Directors, who have been so advised by Evolution Securities, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Evolution Securities has taken into account the Independent Directors’ commercial assessments.
Accordingly, the Independent Directors, being J M Rose and T P Power, will unanimously recommend QXL Shareholders to accept the Offer.
Commenting on the Offer, James Rose, Non-executive Deputy Chairman, said:
“As Independent Directors, we believe that the Offer provides certainty and value to QXL’s shareholders, at a price per QXL share that is unlikely to be achieved in the market in the near future.”

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN, INTO OR FROM AUSTRALIA, CANADA,

QXL ricardo plc (`QXL`)
Possible Alternative Offer
The Independent Directors of QXL announce that they have received a number of
proposals from parties interested in acquiring part or all of the business of
QXL (`the Proposals`). The Proposals are purely indicative at this stage and
remain subject to a number of conditions including price, due diligence and, in
certain cases, certainty of funding. Nevertheless the Independent Directors
consider that were any of the Proposals to crystallise it would be likely to
result in a value being attributed to QXL which would be greater than the
current offer from Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited.
In particular, further to the announcement made on 9 December 2004 by Messrs
Robson and Bachmann, a proposal regarding a possible offer has been received
from Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV (`Florissant`), a shell company
acquired by Kenn Robson for the purpose, inter alia, of acquiring QXL and whose
shareholders will include Messrs Robson and Bachmann together with a Nordic
based private equity fund (`the Florissant Proposal`). The Florissant Proposal,
which is at 800p in cash per QXL Share, is subject to a number of pre-conditions
including the completion of limited due diligence which it is envisaged could be
completed within a short timeframe.
Whilst the Independent Directors continue to recommend the offer from Tiger
Acquisition Corporation Limited, shareholders who have not accepted the current
offer from Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited should take no action at this
stage and wait until clarification of the Proposals is forthcoming, at which
point shareholders will be advised by the Independent Directors of QXL as to
what course of action to take.
It is emphasised that there can be no certainty that any of the Proposals will
result in an alternative offer being made nor as to the terms on which any such
offer might be made.

Ich glaube, die sind noch etwas zurück, oder haben die noch das Postkutschenzeitalter?

Muß GBP heißen. Ist eine Fristverlängerung der Laufzeit. Habe vor einigen Tagen noch etwas zu 11 € nachgekauft.
@landman
häng es ins klo zu der anderen
häng es ins klo zu der anderen
na, steigt die Deutsche Bank weiter ein?
Warum wird seit Heute der Kurswert in meinem Depot in GBP angezeigt?
Vielleicht ein delisting in Frankfurt? Die wollten doch ihre Aktien auch in NY aus dem Geschäft nehmen wegen der Kosten, war mal in einem Geschäftsbericht Anfang des Jahres zu lesen. Frankfurt war mir dabei jedoch nicht in Erinnerung. Vielleicht weiß jemand anderes mehr. Die wollen ja den FTSE auch verlassen und in den AIM gehen, sowas wie der Neue Markt in London.
Also meine werden immer noch in Euros angezeigt.
Aber was viel witziger ist, da flattert mir doch
tatsächlich wieder ein Barabfindungsgebot ins Haus!
Beziehungsweise die Verlängerung vom letzten.
Und jetz kommts, ich würde pro Schein 7 GBP erhalten.
Gleichzeitig notieren die aber in London bei 7,715 GBP
Ja was soll denn das bedeuten? Glauben die wir pennen alle
aufe Bäume??

Na, also bei mir stehen die auch in GBP drin im Depot. Ja, dieses lächerliche Papier habe ich auch bekommen. Abwarten und Tee trinken heißt es da nur. Wird nicht verkauft. Höchstkurs inzwischen bei GBP 8,70 am gestrigen Tag. Weitermachen!
Ganz schön ruhig geworden hier!
Ist das die Ruhe vor dem Sturm?
Bei mir sind die übrigens immer noch in Euro gebucht!
Bin ich der Einzige?

Na, die verlängerte Angebotsfrist muß erst mal verstreichen, dann sehen wir weiter. Z.Z. fehlen Nachrichten?!
Unglaublich, für 1 QXL Aktie würde man
jetz 6,5 Borussia Dortmund Aktien kriegen!!

Na, Jungs, DIe Rechnung wird wohl nicht aufgehen !!!!!!
na, die merken doch schon selbst, daß das nix wird! Aber es ist erstaunlich, für wie blöd Anleger doch verkauft werden!
Lasst uns doch mal ein bisschen rumspekulieren!
Was passiert, wenn es ihnen wieder nicht gelingt, einen Großteil der Aktien einzusammeln?
Ich vermute mal, dass sie das Ganze dann so weiterführen wie bisher, die Rückführung von Polen also abwarten müssen und den Laden dann zu einem wesentlich höheren Preis verticken und uns Aktionäre dann beteiligen müssen. Ihre Strategie ist wohl, dass sie alle Aktien einsammeln wollen und somit die alleinige HErrschaft haben, die Rückführung abwarten, um dann alleine abzusahnen. Wird aber wohl nix-hoffentlich!!

@bellamy
Na, die warten die Rückkehr der polnischen Abteilung mit Sicherheit ab, denn das wäre ja der größere Teil des Profits. Die arbeiten dort doch schon profitabel bei guten Umsätzen. Erst Papiere einstecken, dann Wirbel machen mit break even der einzelnen Niederlassungen (außer Deutschland+England-haben die wohl komplett verkackt) Polen zurück und dann Kurse rauf und verscherbeln, Chef kann man ja trotzdem bleiben. Das wird wohl nicht klappen, denn die anderen Einsteiger wie DB usw. haben den Braten doch auch schon gerochen. Ich befürchte eher ein Bündnis zum squeeze out der Kleinaktionäre. Ob sowas denkbar ist, weiß ich natürlich nicht. Habe so etwas noch nicht gehört. Aber selbst, wenn die Sache mit dem Entschädigungsangebot schief läuft ( und so sieht es für TAC ja aus), so können die Herren doch locker warten und die bisher eingetriebenen Aktien später besser (an ebay?) verkaufen. Der größte Fehler dieser Bude war doch, nicht auf den US-Markt zu gehen und nicht genug national zu werben und auch noch die Logistik mit allen Konsequenzen zu fahren (mehr als 2 Mrd. GBP haben die verbraten - das muß man erst mal hinkriegen bei geringer werdenden Umsätzen). Amazon hat zunächst zwar 4 Mrd. US$ verbrannt, aber ist schon profitabel geworden bei stark steigenden Umsätzen). Wer kennt QXL denn schon in Deutschland?! Und auch ricardo.de ist doch wenigen ein Begriff.
Wie es ausschaut, steht doch in mehreren Ländern der break even an, soweit nicht sowieso schon erreicht. Sorgenkinder bleiben wohl Deutschland und England, aber vielleicht wird das ja mal und es wird nicht verkauft an einen Investor. Der Weg dahin wäre freilich noch langund unsicher. Mit steigenden Einahmen hat man auch Mittel für Werbung. Und ich würde mich nicht wundern, wenn die bzgl. Polen mehr wüßten wie wir. Vielleicht kommt der Laden dieses Jahr noch zurück?! Ach wie anders würde der Geschäftsbericht aussehen!
Und wenn ich daran denke, wo der Kurs herkommt, so müßte man mit 100 Aktien von dem Laden eigentlich steinreich werden können. Das reine Provisionsmodell funktioniert jedenfalls.

@Zockerpetry
Ja, ich glaube, Du hast recht. Squeeze out gegen Kleinaktionäre im Sinne eines Bündnisses geht meiner MEinung gar nicht, weil der Hauptaktionär mindestens 95% halten muss; es sei denn, die DB stattet Tiger Ac. mit soviel Kohle aus, dass die alles aufkaufen können. DAbei handelt es sich dann wieder um Insidergeschäfte, und die werden ja bekanntlich seit JAhresanfang nett sanktioniert. Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die DB sich die FInger verbrennen möchte.
So wie sich die Situation momentan verdichtet, glaube ich, dass die Bude so weitergeführt werden muss, bis Polen, Turnaraound etc. eingetreten sind und der Kurs dann bei so wenig Aktien durch die Decke geht: siehe Puma. Vermute mal, dass wir doch noch ganz schön viel Freude mit den Papierchen haben werden.
So long!

Wir können uns erstmal gratulieren: Tiger ist an die Wand gespielt! Die verlängerte Angebotsfrist auf den 25.01.2005 wird auf den 13.01.2005 verkürzt. DAnn kommt ein anderer Interessent (Florissant) und bietet uns 800 p pro Share - was wir natürlich auch nicht annehmen werden!
Das wichtigste ist jedenfalls, dass die Rechnung der Direktoren, qxl für sich allein zu haben und dann nach Polen-Rückführung allein zu verticken, nicht aufgeht!
So wie ich die Sache sehe, werden diese Übernahmeavancen alle scheitern und wir gewinnen letztendlich alle mit der Bude!

QXL RICARDO PLC (`QXL`)
TIGER ACQUISITION CORPORATION LIMITED (`TIGER`)
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT NV (`FLORISSANT`)
OFFER TIMETABLE SUSPENDED
On 26 November 2004, Tiger announced a firm intention to make a recommended cash
offer for QXL at 700p per QXL share. The offer document was posted later that
day. Today is Day 45 of that offer. On 7 January, Tiger extended its offer
until 25 January.
On 22 December 2004, the independent directors of QXL (`the Independent
Directors`) announced that they had received a number of proposals from parties
interested in acquiring part or all of the business of QXL (`the Proposals`).
In particular, the Independent Directors announced that they had received a
proposal regarding a possible offer for QXL from Florissant at 800p in cash per
QXL share. In the light of these developments, the Independent Directors
announced that, whilst they continued to recommend the offer from Tiger, `
shareholders who have not accepted the current offer from (Tiger) should take no
action at this stage and wait until clarification of the Proposals is
forthcoming, at which point shareholders will be advised by the (Independent
Directors) as to what course of action to take`.
Under Rule 31.6, the timetable of the Tiger offer would re-start in the event
that Florissant or another third party announced a firm intention to make a
competing offer for QXL. Similarly, under Rule 31.9, if the Independent
Directors announce a material disposal prior to the end of the QXL offer period,
the timetable of the Tiger offer would normally be reset such that Day 39 would
be the date of the announcement of such disposal.
In the light of the above, the Executive has ruled that the timetable of the
Tiger offer should be suspended pending an update from the Independent Directors
as to the action which they recommend QXL shareholders should take. The
Executive has also ruled that the Independent Directors should announce their
updated advice and that of QXL`s financial adviser appointed under Rule 3.1 of
the Code by no later than 5 pm on 13 January. At that time, the Executive will,
if appropriate, make a further announcement.

Ist ganz klar worauf wir warten
Und die lassen sich schööön viel Zeit und kommen mit
immer dubioseren Meldungen um uns weich zu kochen.
Wahrscheinlich diskutieren die grad ob die jetzt endlich
die Katze aus dem Sack lassen sollen (weil die selber alle
geil auf das Angebot sind), oder ob die noch warten sollen
damit noch viel abspringen und es wieder billig
was zum einsammeln gibt.

QXL Ricardo PLC
13 January 2005
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN, INTO OR FROM AUSTRALIA, CANADA,
JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES
QXL ricardo plc (`QXL` or the `Company`)
Update Statement from the Independent Directors of QXL (`Independent Directors`)
As outlined in their announcement to QXL shareholders dated 22 December 2004,
the offer at 700p per ordinary share received from Tiger Acquisition Corporation
Limited (`TAC`) (the `TAC Offer`) has proven to be a catalyst for interest from
several parties for parts or all of QXL. In addition, the Company continues to
make progress in respect of the recovery of QXL Poland Sp zo.o (`QXL Poland`).
Together these factors have led the Independent Directors to a fundamental
reassessment of the present and potential future value of QXL.
Consequently, the Independent Directors have, after careful consideration and
having been so advised by Evolution Securities Limited, decided to withdraw
their recommendation for the TAC Offer (as contained in the TAC offer document
dated 26 November 2004 (the `Offer Document`)). In providing advice to the
Independent Directors, Evolution Securities has taken into account the
Independent Directors` commercial assessments. Therefore, QXL shareholders who
have not accepted the TAC Offer are advised to take no action at this stage and
shareholders that have already accepted the TAC Offer are advised to withdraw
their acceptances as set out in paragraph 3(b) of Part B of Appendix I to the
Offer Document. Shareholders in any doubt as to how to withdraw their acceptance
should contact Capita IRG Plc on 0870 162 3121.
The Independent Directors, who have been so advised by Evolution Securities
Limited, have indicated to the advisers to the Florissant Proposal (as announced
on 22 December 2004) that they would not be prepared to recommend that proposal,
as they believe it undervalues QXL. In providing advice to the Independent
Directors, Evolution Securities has taken into account the Independent
Directors` commercial assessments.
In the absence of a satisfactory higher offer for the Company, the Independent
Directors believe that shareholders` interests are best served by the Board of
the Company pursuing the recovery of QXL Poland and disposals, if appropriate,
in order to maximise shareholder value.
The Independent Directors have received an initial approach concerning the sale
of a part of the Company. Shareholders should be aware that, under the terms of
the inducement fee letter agreed with TAC, until such time as the TAC Offer
lapses or is withdrawn (or later by agreement with the Company), there are
certain restrictions on the ability of the Independent Directors to negotiate
with third parties. Given these restrictions, the Independent Directors have not
been able to negotiate with the company making the initial approach concerning
the sale of part of the Company and have therefore rejected it at this stage.
However, they are assured that the interested party remains keen to pursue its
proposals as and when the Company is in a position to negotiate.
Whilst the risks and uncertainties outlined in the Offer Document are still a
factor for consideration and, notwithstanding the fact that QXL is incurring
ongoing deal costs as a result of the TAC Offer (including the payment of an
inducement fee as outlined in the Offer Document), the Independent Directors
continue to be encouraged by the current trading and prospects of the Group.
Further details of the Company`s trading position will be included as part of
the Company`s announcement of its results for the quarter to 31 December 2004,
which will be released in due course.
A further announcement will be made in due course.

So wie es ausschaut, wird es wohl doch so kommen, wie ich gesagt habe: DIe Direktoren wollen ihren Aktienverkauf rückgängig machen, raten dies auch den Aktionären und haben endlich bemerkt, dass die Angebote von Tiger und Florissant völlig unterbewertet sind. Darüber hinaus haben sie Fortschritte mit der Polen-Geschichte gemacht. Momentan sieht es wohl so aus (wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe..), dass alles so bleibt wie es ist und die Jungs VErtrauen in steigende Umsätze etc. haben.
Da sollte man ja wohl nochmal nachkaufen...

So wie es ausschaut, wird es wohl doch so kommen, wie ich gesagt habe: DIe Direktoren wollen ihren Aktienverkauf rückgängig machen, raten dies auch den Aktionären und haben endlich bemerkt, dass die Angebote von Tiger und Florissant völlig unterbewertet sind. Darüber hinaus haben sie Fortschritte mit der Polen-Geschichte gemacht. Momentan sieht es wohl so aus (wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe..), dass alles so bleibt wie es ist und die Jungs VErtrauen in steigende Umsätze etc. haben.
Da sollte man ja wohl nochmal nachkaufen...
Was meint Ihr?
So long!!
Na, da hat´s gestern wohl richtig Zoff gegeben: QXL-Direktoren lehnen das Angebot von Florissant ab und siehe da, sie wollen gar nicht mehr verkaufen... Infolgedessen übergeht Florissant die QXL-DIrektoren und wendet sich direkt an uns Aktionäre mit 800 Pence/ Aktie. Die Kohle für die Angebotskosten könnten die sich eigentlich sparen...
JEdenfalls sagt QXL jetzt, dass alles beim alten bleibt und sie die Rückführung abwarten werden.
Sie selbst machen den Verkauf ihrer Aktien an Tiger wieder rückgängig und empfehlen dies auch den Aktionären, da sie sehen, dass man mehr aus der Bude nach der Rückführung rausholen kann

CASH OFFER
by
HAWKPOINT PARTNERS LIMITED
and
ISB CORPORATE FINANCE
on behalf of
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT N.V.
for
QXL RICARDO PLC
Summary
The Board of Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. (`Florissant`) announces the
terms of a cash offer (the `Offer`), to be made by Hawkpoint and ISB Corporate
Finance on behalf of Florissant, for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary
share capital of QXL ricardo plc (`QXL`).
Following the announcement on 22 December 2004 by the Independent Directors of
QXL that they had received, inter alia, a proposal regarding a possible offer
from Florissant at 800 pence in cash per QXL Share, Florissant has tried to
reach agreement with the Independent Directors on the terms of a recommended
cash offer for QXL. However, as highlighted yesterday by the announcement
released by the Independent Directors, Florissant has been unable to reach
agreement with the Independent Directors.
Since originally recommending Tiger`s offer of 700 pence, the Independent
Directors do not appear to have presented any compelling new information to
Shareholders, but have now:
- withdrawn their recommendation of the Tiger offer of 700 pence;
- declined to recommend Florissant`s higher cash offer; and
- advised Shareholders that, in the absence of a satisfactory higher offer for
the Company, their interests are best served by the board of the Company
pursuing the recovery of QXL Poland and disposals, if appropriate.
Florissant has therefore decided to put the Offer to Shareholders, without a
recommendation from the Independent Directors.
The Offer will be 800 pence in cash for each QXL Share, which values the
existing issued ordinary share capital of QXL at approximately £13.6 million.
The Offer represents:
- a premium of approximately 14.3 per cent. to the previously recommended
offer of 700 pence per QXL Share announced by Tiger on 26 November 2004;
and
- a premium of approximately 144.3 per cent. over the Closing Price of
327.5 pence per QXL Share on 11 November 2004, the last Business Day prior
to QXL`s announcement that it had received an approach that might or might
not lead to an offer for QXL.
Commenting on the Offer, Kenn Robson, a director of Florissant, said:
`We firmly believe that our 800 pence per share cash offer, which is 100 pence
more than the previously recommended cash offer from the Management Team of QXL
and Great Hills, represents full and fair value for QXL Shareholders. We have
sought to obtain a recommendation for our offer from the Independent Directors,
but no recommendation has been forthcoming, despite the fact that Shareholders
do not appear to have been provided with any compelling new information.`
This summary should be read in conjunction with the full text of the following
announcement relating to the Offer.
Certain terms used in this summary and the following announcement are defined in
Appendix III to the announcement.

Das ist meine ganz persönliche, nicht durch Fakten bestätigte Meinung. Ich beobachte nur, was im Osten dieser Welt vor sich geht und sehe, daß die Chinesen in allen Industriebereichen einsteigen. Und zwar meist durch JVs oder Beteiligungen.
Und ein eigenes Auktionshaus ist das Optimale für ein billig produzierendes Land wie China. Einfache Absatzmöglichkeiten, kann auch in großem Maßstab genutzt werden, Kosteneffektiv.
Zumindest sehe ich das so und außerdem deutet für mich auch der Name "Tiger" genau in diese Richtung. Vielleicht nur ein erster Versuch.
Mal sehen, ich bin guter Dinge - die Fakten werden folgen.

Die tschechische Firma hat wiederum Tochtergesellschaften in Russland und Ungarn - da läuft allerdings noch nicht viel. Wenn die aber mal von ihren Bäumen runterkommen, könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, dass sie in diesen Ländern ebay überlegen sein werden. Was meint ihr?
Wenn QXL Poland erst mal zurückgeführt ist, dürften wir eine Kursexplosion erleben.

PRESS RELEASE
QXL ricardo plc - Third Quarter Results
3 February 2005
Strong Revenue Growth
QXL ricardo plc (`QXL` or the `Company`, QXL.L), the pan-European online auction
company, today announces the results for the Company and its subsidiaries
(together the `Group`) for the third quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Jim Rose, Deputy Chairman, said:
`The Group has made excellent progress during the past quarter. Revenue was 65%
higher than in the equivalent period last year and 29% higher than in the
previous quarter, helped by seasonal factors and a significant increase in
marketing expenditure. Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the
Group`s sites, exceeded £30 million in the last quarter and continues to grow
steadily.
The Board does not believe that the current take-over offer process is impacting
the underlying business, although a significant accrual has been made for offer
related costs. This accounts for the larger than expected loss for the quarter.
Cash-flow for the quarter was again better than expected and, as stated in the
interim results, the Company believes that significant tax related receipts may
be available to it as it completes the restructuring of certain subsidiaries.`
Third Quarter ended 31 December 2004 - Highlights
• Strong operating performance from core markets in Switzerland, Denmark
and Norway
• Turnover increased 65% to £1.96 million compared to £1.19 million for
the quarter ended 31 December 2003
• Operating expenses (excluding exceptional items) decreased 13% to £2.06
million, compared to £2.36 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003
• Operating loss (excluding exceptional items) decreased 86% to £164,000,
compared to a loss of £1.18 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003
• Loss on ordinary activities before tax (excluding exceptional items)
decreased 64% to £173,000 compared to a loss of £474,000 for the quarter ended
31 December 2003
• Exceptional costs of £455,000 were incurred in the quarter ended 31
December 2004 connected to the current public offers for the Company. In the
quarter ended 31 December 2003 no exceptional costs were incurred, but profits
totalling £689,000 were made on the sale of investments and other disposals
• Loss on ordinary activities before taxation (including exceptional
items) increased to £628,000 compared to £474,000 for the quarter ended 31
December 2003
• Cash balance at 31 December 2004 of £1.01 million compared to £1.14
million at 31 December 2003

Operating Review
Business performance
The Group has made excellent progress during the past quarter with good growth
in its key markets. Revenue was 65% higher than in the equivalent period last
year and 29% higher than in the previous quarter, helped by seasonal factors and
a significant increase in marketing expenditure. Although the Group still faces
significant competition, especially in Switzerland and in all of its smaller
markets, the underlying business is becoming increasingly stable and
predictable, allowing resources to be focussed more effectively.
Key operating metrics showed strong growth over the same quarter in the previous
year. The number of transactions on the Group`s sites during the quarter grew
over 130% year-on-year and the number of bids more than doubled during the same
period. Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the sites,
exceeded £30 million in the last quarter compared to over £22 million in the
previous quarter and continues to grow steadily.
Country review
Operating performance was strongest in the Group`s three largest businesses, in
Switzerland, Norway and Denmark. The Group celebrated its fifth anniversary in
these countries with a series of promotional events, which the Board believes
will further strengthen the Group`s position as the leading online auction sites
in those markets.
The Directors were particularly pleased with the MMXI data recently published in
Switzerland, which shows that ricardo.ch achieved the largest percentage
increase in terms of unique audience of the top 20 web-sites in Switzerland for
2004, with an increase of 67%. The Swiss business has also recently released a
number of new member features including a payment and escrow service, a shipping
service and the ability to place bids by phone.
During the quarter the Group continued its support for a number of charitable
initiatives. In Poland, aukcje24.pl operated a major charity auction involving
the sale of Olympic medals and other items provided by leading sports
personalities. In the Netherlands, ricardo.nl supported a major auction in aid
of refugees in Darfur in co-operation with radio and national television. In the
UK, the Company hosted an auction in conjunction with Typhoo Decaf to help raise
funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. A series of events was also set up across
Europe to auction goods in support of the victims of the tsunami in South-East
Asia.
The Company was also pleased to extend SmartBid, its pay-per-bid auction model,
to Norway during the quarter and intends to extend this across the rest of
Scandinavia during 2005. Although not part of the Group`s core business, the
SmartBid product has proved to be a valuable marketing tool as well as being
profitable in its own right. `Standard`s Big Bid`, the SmartBid auction devised
for London`s Evening Standard newspaper, has been nominated as a Finalist of the
Revolution Awards in the `Best Use of Interactive Services on Wireless Networks`
category.
Public Offer
On 26 November, Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited (`Tiger`) made an offer to
shareholders of the Company to purchase the entire share capital of the Company
for 700p per share. This offer was initially recommended by the Independent
Directors of the Company. On 13 January, the recommendation was withdrawn on the
basis that the increased interest in the Company generated as a result of
Tiger`s offer led the Independent Directors to believe that shareholders`
interests would, in the absence of a higher offer, be best served by pursuing
the recovery of QXL Poland and disposals, where appropriate, in order to
maximise shareholder value.
On 20 January, Hawkpoint Partners Limited and ISB Corporate Finance made an
offer to shareholders on behalf of Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V.
(`Florissant`) to purchase the entire share capital of the Company for 800p per
share. The Company`s Independent Directors have indicated that in their opinion
the offer from Florissant undervalues the Company, and recommended shareholders
to reject this offer. The Independent Directors will be writing to shareholders
today, setting out detailed reasons for their position.
The Directors do not believe that the current takeover offer process is
impacting the underlying business, although an accrual of £455,000 has been made
for offer related costs as described below.
Poland
Progress in the civil and criminal cases during the past quarter has been
limited. At the latest hearing of the main civil case on 19 January, the Company
was unsuccessful in its application to remove the administrator of QXL Poland
whom it believes has failed in his responsibilities to act impartially and to
recover various assets of QXL Poland that have been transferred to other
companies connected with Arjan Bakker and his associates. However the Board
believes, based on events at this hearing, that the court will scrutinise the
administrator`s actions more closely in the future. As is usual in Poland, the
hearing of the main civil case is not arranged to take place on consecutive
dates and the next dates on which evidence is scheduled to be heard are 18
March, 22 March and, provisionally, 8 April. The Company acknowledges that there
are inherent uncertainties involved in any litigation, but remains confident
that the Polish courts will ultimately find in its favour. However, based on its
experience to date, the Company also continues to believe that these proceedings
will be protracted.
A decision by the Poznan Prosecutors on the filing of the criminal cases against
Bakker and Przemyslaw Rogowski has also been delayed pending clarification of
certain issues arising from the independent valuation of QXL Poland commissioned
by the prosecutors` office. In the meantime, information recently submitted to
the court by the administrator appointed by the court, indicates that QXL
Poland`s business continues to grow strongly - between 1 April and 30 November
2004 its unaudited net profits exceeded 9.95 million zloty (around £1.75
million). Due to the ongoing lack of day-to-day control over QXL Poland, its
trading results are currently not consolidated into QXL`s results.
Financial Review
Third quarter highlights
Turnover for the quarter ended 31 December 2004 increased 65% to £1.96 million
from £1.19 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and increased 29% from
£1.51 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2004, primarily as a result of
increased transaction volumes on the Group`s sites.
Costs of sales have increased slightly compared to the previous year reflecting
an increase in the percentage of fees collected through electronic payment
gateways with associated costs, but remain relatively negligible at £67,000.
Gross profit therefore increased broadly in line with turnover to £1.89 million
for the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to £1.37 million for the quarter ended
31 December 2004 from £1.30 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and
increased 35% from £1.02 million in the quarter ended 30 September 2004 as the
Group expanded its marketing efforts. In the medium term the Directors expect
marketing expenses to continue to increase from their current level. Bad debt
costs decreased to £13,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004 from £387,000
in the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and £68,000 in the quarter ended 30
September 2004. The Group continues to experience a general downward trend in
its bad debts as a percentage of turnover as billing and collection systems are
refined and the customer base of the business matures.
Technology and development costs increased 73% from £141,000 in the quarter
ended 31 December 2003 to £244,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004, and
increased 35% from £181,000 in the quarter ended 30 September 2004 as a result
of continuing investment in the Group`s auction platforms. Costs in this area
are expected to continue to increase in the future in order to accommodate the
growth in activity on the Group`s sites and to further strengthen the
reliability of its systems, although technology and development costs should,
over time, decrease as a percentage of turnover.
General and administrative (excluding exceptional items) costs decreased 19% to
£430,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004, from £532,000 in the quarter
ended 31 December 2003, but increased 25% from £343,000 in the quarter ended 30
September 2004. The Company expects general and administrative costs to increase
slightly in future quarters as it increases its investment in securing the
return of the business of QXL Poland.
Exceptional costs of £455,000 in connection with the current public offer for
the Company have been incurred or provided for during the quarter ended 31
December 2004. If the offer process continues over a protracted period then
significant additional costs could be incurred.
There were no significant disposals or sales of investments in the quarter ended
31 December 2004. In the quarter ended 31 December 2003, the Group made profits
of £488,000 and £201,000 on the sale of investments and the disposal of
discontinued operations respectively.
Taking into account the exceptional costs referred to above, the Group had a
loss on ordinary activities before taxation in the quarter ended 31 December
2004 of £628,000 compared to a loss of £474,000 in the quarter ended 31 December
2003 and a loss of £158,000 in the quarter ended 30 September 2004.
Financing and treasury
On 8 October 2004, the Company issued 85,909 ordinary shares pursuant to the
conversion of £250,000 of Convertible C Bonds. 81,214 ordinary shares were
issued following the conversion of the principal amount of these Bonds and a
further 4,695 ordinary shares were issued as payment for interest due on these
Bonds.
On 23 November 2004, the Company issued 265,870 ordinary shares pursuant to the
conversion of the remaining £4,532,000 of Convertible C Bonds. 180,701 ordinary
shares were issued following the conversion of the principal amount of these
Bonds and a further 85,169 ordinary shares were issued as payment for interest
due on these Bonds. As a result of this final conversion there are no
outstanding liabilities relating to the bonds.
Cash-flow for the quarter was again better than expected. During the quarter the
Company received payment of approximately £170,000 (after related costs) on a
long outstanding loan in the Netherlands. As stated in the interim results for
the six months ended 30 September 2004, the Company believes that significant
tax related receipts may be available to it as it completes the restructuring of
certain subsidiaries. The Group`s cash balance at 31 December 2004 was £1.01
million.
Current Trading and Outlook
The Directors are very pleased with the Group`s performance in the last quarter
as it continues to show good growth in its core markets. Current quarter trading
has also started strongly, in line with the Company`s expectations.
The Group intends to continue to seek ways to increase marketing in a cost
effective manner particularly in those countries where it is a market leader. As
last year, the Company expects to see stronger growth during the March quarter
than in the following two quarters as a consequence of seasonal factors.

Consent
Evolution Securities Limited has given and has not withdrawn its written consent
to the issue of the results for the quarter ended 31 December 2004 with the
inclusion of its report, set out in an appendix to these results, in the form
and context in which it appears.
Evolution Securities Limited, which is regulated in the United Kingdom by the
FSA, is acting exclusively for QXL (acting through its Independent Directors)
and for no one else in relation to the Florissant Offer and will not be
responsible to anyone other than QXL for providing the protections afforded to

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO QXL RICARDO PLC (`THE COMPANY`)
AND THE DIRECTORS OF EVOLUTION SECURITIES LIMITED (`EVOLUTION`)
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information set
out in the interim report of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2004,
which comprises the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated
statement of total recognised gains and losses, the consolidated balance sheet,
the consolidated cashflow statement and the basis of preparation. We have read
the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
financial information.
This report is made solely to the Company and the Directors of Evolution in
accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company and the
Directors of Evolution in meeting the requirements of the Panel on Takeovers and
Mergers. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company and
the Directors of Evolution those matters we are required to state to them in
this report, and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and
the Directors of Evolution for our review work, for this report, or for the
conclusions we have formed.
Directors` responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority, which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
`Review of Interim Financial Information` issued by the Auditing Practices Board
for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial
information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether
the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless
otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of
controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with United
Kingdom auditing standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance
than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial
information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the interim financial information as presented for the period
ended 31 December 2004. We have not reviewed the financial information in
respect of the period ended 31 December 2003.
Consent
This report is provided in compliance with Rule 28.3 of the City Code on
takeovers and Mergers and we have given and not withdrawn our consent to the
inclusion in this document of this report and the references thereto and to our
name in the form and context in which they appear.

PRESS RELEASE
QXL ricardo plc - Third Quarter Results
3 February 2005
Strong Revenue Growth
QXL ricardo plc (`QXL` or the `Company`, QXL.L), the pan-European online auction
company, today announces the results for the Company and its subsidiaries
(together the `Group`) for the third quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Jim Rose, Deputy Chairman, said:
`The Group has made excellent progress during the past quarter. Revenue was 65%
higher than in the equivalent period last year and 29% higher than in the
previous quarter, helped by seasonal factors and a significant increase in
marketing expenditure. Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the
Group`s sites, exceeded £30 million in the last quarter and continues to grow
steadily.
The Board does not believe that the current take-over offer process is impacting
the underlying business, although a significant accrual has been made for offer
related costs. This accounts for the larger than expected loss for the quarter.
Cash-flow for the quarter was again better than expected and, as stated in the
interim results, the Company believes that significant tax related receipts may
be available to it as it completes the restructuring of certain subsidiaries.`
Third Quarter ended 31 December 2004 - Highlights
• Strong operating performance from core markets in Switzerland, Denmark
and Norway
• Turnover increased 65% to £1.96 million compared to £1.19 million for
the quarter ended 31 December 2003

million, compared to £2.36 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003
• Operating loss (excluding exceptional items) decreased 86% to £164,000,
compared to a loss of £1.18 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003
• Loss on ordinary activities before tax (excluding exceptional items)
decreased 64% to £173,000 compared to a loss of £474,000 for the quarter ended
31 December 2003
• Exceptional costs of £455,000 were incurred in the quarter ended 31
December 2004 connected to the current public offers for the Company. In the
quarter ended 31 December 2003 no exceptional costs were incurred, but profits
totalling £689,000 were made on the sale of investments and other disposals
• Loss on ordinary activities before taxation (including exceptional
items) increased to £628,000 compared to £474,000 for the quarter ended 31
December 2003

Operating Review
Business performance
The Group has made excellent progress during the past quarter with good growth
in its key markets. Revenue was 65% higher than in the equivalent period last
year and 29% higher than in the previous quarter, helped by seasonal factors and
a significant increase in marketing expenditure. Although the Group still faces
significant competition, especially in Switzerland and in all of its smaller
markets, the underlying business is becoming increasingly stable and
predictable, allowing resources to be focussed more effectively.
Key operating metrics showed strong growth over the same quarter in the previous
year. The number of transactions on the Group`s sites during the quarter grew
over 130% year-on-year and the number of bids more than doubled during the same
period. Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the sites,
exceeded £30 million in the last quarter compared to over £22 million in the
previous quarter and continues to grow steadily.
Country review
Operating performance was strongest in the Group`s three largest businesses, in
Switzerland, Norway and Denmark. The Group celebrated its fifth anniversary in
these countries with a series of promotional events, which the Board believes
will further strengthen the Group`s position as the leading online auction sites
in those markets.
The Directors were particularly pleased with the MMXI data recently published in
Switzerland, which shows that ricardo.ch achieved the largest percentage
increase in terms of unique audience of the top 20 web-sites in Switzerland for
2004, with an increase of 67%. The Swiss business has also recently released a
number of new member features including a payment and escrow service, a shipping
service and the ability to place bids by phone.
During the quarter the Group continued its support for a number of charitable
initiatives. In Poland, aukcje24.pl operated a major charity auction involving
the sale of Olympic medals and other items provided by leading sports
personalities. In the Netherlands, ricardo.nl supported a major auction in aid
of refugees in Darfur in co-operation with radio and national television. In the
UK, the Company hosted an auction in conjunction with Typhoo Decaf to help raise
funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. A series of events was also set up across
Europe to auction goods in support of the victims of the tsunami in South-East
Asia.
The Company was also pleased to extend SmartBid, its pay-per-bid auction model,
to Norway during the quarter and intends to extend this across the rest of
Scandinavia during 2005. Although not part of the Group`s core business, the
SmartBid product has proved to be a valuable marketing tool as well as being
profitable in its own right. `Standard`s Big Bid`, the SmartBid auction devised
for London`s Evening Standard newspaper, has been nominated as a Finalist of the
Revolution Awards in the `Best Use of Interactive Services on Wireless Networks`
category.
Public Offer
On 26 November, Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited (`Tiger`) made an offer to
shareholders of the Company to purchase the entire share capital of the Company
for 700p per share. This offer was initially recommended by the Independent
Directors of the Company. On 13 January, the recommendation was withdrawn on the
basis that the increased interest in the Company generated as a result of
Tiger`s offer led the Independent Directors to believe that shareholders`
interests would, in the absence of a higher offer, be best served by pursuing
the recovery of QXL Poland and disposals, where appropriate, in order to
maximise shareholder value.
On 20 January, Hawkpoint Partners Limited and ISB Corporate Finance made an
offer to shareholders on behalf of Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V.
(`Florissant`) to purchase the entire share capital of the Company for 800p per
share. The Company`s Independent Directors have indicated that in their opinion
the offer from Florissant undervalues the Company, and recommended shareholders
to reject this offer. The Independent Directors will be writing to shareholders
today, setting out detailed reasons for their position.
The Directors do not believe that the current takeover offer process is
impacting the underlying business, although an accrual of £455,000 has been made
for offer related costs as described below.
Poland
Progress in the civil and criminal cases during the past quarter has been
limited. At the latest hearing of the main civil case on 19 January, the Company
was unsuccessful in its application to remove the administrator of QXL Poland
whom it believes has failed in his responsibilities to act impartially and to
recover various assets of QXL Poland that have been transferred to other
companies connected with Arjan Bakker and his associates. However the Board
believes, based on events at this hearing, that the court will scrutinise the
administrator`s actions more closely in the future. As is usual in Poland, the
hearing of the main civil case is not arranged to take place on consecutive
dates and the next dates on which evidence is scheduled to be heard are 18
March, 22 March and, provisionally, 8 April. The Company acknowledges that there
are inherent uncertainties involved in any litigation, but remains confident
that the Polish courts will ultimately find in its favour. However, based on its
experience to date, the Company also continues to believe that these proceedings
will be protracted.
A decision by the Poznan Prosecutors on the filing of the criminal cases against
Bakker and Przemyslaw Rogowski has also been delayed pending clarification of
certain issues arising from the independent valuation of QXL Poland commissioned
by the prosecutors` office. In the meantime, information recently submitted to
the court by the administrator appointed by the court, indicates that QXL
Poland`s business continues to grow strongly - between 1 April and 30 November
2004 its unaudited net profits exceeded 9.95 million zloty (around £1.75
million). Due to the ongoing lack of day-to-day control over QXL Poland, its
trading results are currently not consolidated into QXL`s results.
Financial Review
Third quarter highlights
Turnover for the quarter ended 31 December 2004 increased 65% to £1.96 million
from £1.19 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and increased 29% from
£1.51 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2004, primarily as a result of
increased transaction volumes on the Group`s sites.
Costs of sales have increased slightly compared to the previous year reflecting
an increase in the percentage of fees collected through electronic payment
gateways with associated costs, but remain relatively negligible at £67,000.
Gross profit therefore increased broadly in line with turnover to £1.89 million
for the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to £1.37 million for the quarter ended
31 December 2004 from £1.30 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and
increased 35% from £1.02 million in the quarter ended 30 September 2004 as the
Group expanded its marketing efforts. In the medium term the Directors expect
marketing expenses to continue to increase from their current level. Bad debt
costs decreased to £13,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004 from £387,000
in the quarter ended 31 December 2003 and £68,000 in the quarter ended 30
September 2004. The Group continues to experience a general downward trend in
its bad debts as a percentage of turnover as billing and collection systems are
refined and the customer base of the business matures.
Technology and development costs increased 73% from £141,000 in the quarter
ended 31 December 2003 to £244,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004, and
increased 35% from £181,000 in the quarter ended 30 September 2004 as a result
of continuing investment in the Group`s auction platforms. Costs in this area
are expected to continue to increase in the future in order to accommodate the
growth in activity on the Group`s sites and to further strengthen the
reliability of its systems, although technology and development costs should,
over time, decrease as a percentage of turnover.
General and administrative (excluding exceptional items) costs decreased 19% to
£430,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004, from £532,000 in the quarter
ended 31 December 2003, but increased 25% from £343,000 in the quarter ended 30
September 2004. The Company expects general and administrative costs to increase
slightly in future quarters as it increases its investment in securing the
return of the business of QXL Poland.
Exceptional costs of £455,000 in connection with the current public offer for
the Company have been incurred or provided for during the quarter ended 31
December 2004. If the offer process continues over a protracted period then
significant additional costs could be incurred.
There were no significant disposals or sales of investments in the quarter ended
31 December 2004. In the quarter ended 31 December 2003, the Group made profits
of £488,000 and £201,000 on the sale of investments and the disposal of
discontinued operations respectively.
Taking into account the exceptional costs referred to above, the Group had a
loss on ordinary activities before taxation in the quarter ended 31 December
2004 of £628,000 compared to a loss of £474,000 in the quarter ended 31 December
2003 and a loss of £158,000 in the quarter ended 30 September 2004.
Financing and treasury
On 8 October 2004, the Company issued 85,909 ordinary shares pursuant to the
conversion of £250,000 of Convertible C Bonds. 81,214 ordinary shares were
issued following the conversion of the principal amount of these Bonds and a
further 4,695 ordinary shares were issued as payment for interest due on these
Bonds.
On 23 November 2004, the Company issued 265,870 ordinary shares pursuant to the
conversion of the remaining £4,532,000 of Convertible C Bonds. 180,701 ordinary
shares were issued following the conversion of the principal amount of these
Bonds and a further 85,169 ordinary shares were issued as payment for interest
due on these Bonds. As a result of this final conversion there are no
outstanding liabilities relating to the bonds.
Cash-flow for the quarter was again better than expected. During the quarter the
Company received payment of approximately £170,000 (after related costs) on a
long outstanding loan in the Netherlands. As stated in the interim results for
the six months ended 30 September 2004, the Company believes that significant
tax related receipts may be available to it as it completes the restructuring of
certain subsidiaries. The Group`s cash balance at 31 December 2004 was £1.01
million.
Current Trading and Outlook
The Directors are very pleased with the Group`s performance in the last quarter
as it continues to show good growth in its core markets. Current quarter trading
has also started strongly, in line with the Company`s expectations.
The Group intends to continue to seek ways to increase marketing in a cost
effective manner particularly in those countries where it is a market leader. As
last year, the Company expects to see stronger growth during the March quarter
than in the following two quarters as a consequence of seasonal factors.

Consent
Evolution Securities Limited has given and has not withdrawn its written consent
to the issue of the results for the quarter ended 31 December 2004 with the
inclusion of its report, set out in an appendix to these results, in the form
and context in which it appears.
Evolution Securities Limited, which is regulated in the United Kingdom by the
FSA, is acting exclusively for QXL (acting through its Independent Directors)
and for no one else in relation to the Florissant Offer and will not be
responsible to anyone other than QXL for providing the protections afforded to

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO QXL RICARDO PLC (`THE COMPANY`)
AND THE DIRECTORS OF EVOLUTION SECURITIES LIMITED (`EVOLUTION`)
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information set
out in the interim report of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2004,
which comprises the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated
statement of total recognised gains and losses, the consolidated balance sheet,
the consolidated cashflow statement and the basis of preparation. We have read
the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
financial information.
This report is made solely to the Company and the Directors of Evolution in
accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company and the
Directors of Evolution in meeting the requirements of the Panel on Takeovers and
Mergers. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company and
the Directors of Evolution those matters we are required to state to them in
this report, and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and
the Directors of Evolution for our review work, for this report, or for the
conclusions we have formed.
Directors` responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority, which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
`Review of Interim Financial Information` issued by the Auditing Practices Board
for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial
information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether
the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless
otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of
controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with United
Kingdom auditing standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance
than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial
information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the interim financial information as presented for the period
ended 31 December 2004. We have not reviewed the financial information in
respect of the period ended 31 December 2003.
Consent
This report is provided in compliance with Rule 28.3 of the City Code on
takeovers and Mergers and we have given and not withdrawn our consent to the
inclusion in this document of this report and the references thereto and to our
name in the form and context in which they appear.

Na, das scheint ja eine Option zu sein, kann man vielleicht für bare Münze nehmen. Höchstkurs London heute 1282,50 GBP wenn ich daß richtig verfolgt habe. Bin gespannt auf das Gegenangebot!! Und ob es eines geben wird!
LONDON (AFX) - Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV said it is considering its
options with regard to its bid for on-line auction company QXL Ricardo PLC after
QXL this morning recommended an increased offer from management buy-out vehicle

Tiger today raised its bid for QXL in a deal it said is worth to up to 20 stg
per share. The increased offer will be 10 stg cash per QXL share plus up to
another 10 stg if QXL`s litigation in Poland is successful. Excluding the
litigation entitlement, Tiger`s offer values QXL at 17 mln stg.
Florissant`s 800 pence offer was rejected by QXL earlier this month.

Hab ich auf einem GB-discussion-board gefunden:
What are the chances that Ebay & Microsoft will enter this bidding war?
I gather Ebay didn`t fancy the language differences in Europe but QXL have done the work for them. They`ve streamlined the software and the business model. The company seems to be more or less breaking even and if it regains QXL Poland surely it will go into profit quite nicely?
Microsoft like to have a finger in every pie and they haven`t got one in online auctions. QXL could be their best chance and integration into their Office products would probably ensure a rise to dominance (over Ebay) before the end of the decade.
Ebay by comparison would see a threat to their business form a Microsoft bid for QXL and be forced to make a move.
Just a few foolish thoughts from an amateur.
Auch nicht schlecht, dies Szenario!

Tja Bell, darauf warten wir doch oder?!
Genau!! Genau auf sowas warten wir!
Also, wenn Polen 85 Mio. € Umsatz macht und QXL ohne Polen und ohne ricardo.ch ca. 15 Mio €, was ist denn das für ne Preisrelation mit optional 10 GBP nachlegen für QXL Polen, müßten dann ja optional 60 GBP sein, oder?! Was ist mit Ricardo.ch? Kommt dafür auch noch was rüber? Ist doch ne Superfrechheit, erst 10 GBP zu bieten und danach erst mit der NL in Polen rauszurücken! Die wollen die Aktionäre beim Angebotspreis so richtig verarschen. Vielleicht macht Florissant in den nächsten Tagen ein vernünftiges Angebot! Habe heute das Übernahmeangebot für 8 GBP von QXL im Kasten gehabt! Häng ich mir auf´s Klo!
Kinder, die deutsche Bank hat schon wieder zugeschlagen, na, wenn das nix gutes ist!!

Toll, habe ich eben auch gesehen. Was ist, wenn die mehr als 50 % besitzen. Was kann das für Folgen haben? Ziehen die dem Management die Löffel lang?

mann ist hier viel loß. endlich sehe ich ein paar Leute die sich mit Qxl auskennen.aber seid ihr sicher dass Deitsche Bank 42% von der Aktien besitzt? und woher kann man es sehen? ich habe die Infos immer unter www.comdirect.co.uk gelesen weiter so, es macht spass zu lesen
@BBandC: Die Infos bekommst Du unter www.uk-wire.com.
Die DB wird mit ihren Fonds in den Wert gegangen sein, da hier in sehr kurzer Zeit sehr viel Geld verdient werden kann. Fraglich ist, ob die sich mit den andern Grossinvestoren zu einem Squeeze out verbinden, um uns rauszukannten. Auf der anderen Seite könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, dass die einfach nur die Kurse laufen lassen und nachher bei 200-300 Euro verticken-was ich uns allen wünsche. Eine Bank will einfach nur auf angenehme Weise Geld verdienen und sich keinen Laden ans Knie nageln, um mit ihm Arbeit und Ärger zu haben. Was meint Ihr?

TAC und Florissant werden wohl ausgeträumt haben bei diesem Szenario. Die NAchbesserung von TAC mit 20 Pfund lässt vermuten, dass die wohl ziemlich davon überzeugt sind oder gar schon wissen, dass Polen mit den wesentlichen VErmögenswerten zurück geführt werden wird. Der Kurs müsste eigentlich schon bei 24-28 Euro sein.
Die Direktoren werden ganz schön die Wände hochgehen-geschieht ihnen recht, nachdem sie versucht haben, uns so fies hinters Licht zu führen.

Also - mit dem verticken sehe ich auch so, aber doch nicht schon bei 200-300 Euro - da ist mehr zu holen. Ich wünsch uns allen viel Glück und ausnahmsweise auch mal der DB. Denke aber, daß die anderen weiter machen mit den Angeboten, ist doch gut zur Kurspflege für bereits eingesammelte Aktien. Also, falls die DB die ersten Papiere an den Mann bringt - raus da!!! QXL und Florissant können doch mit der DB nur gewinnen. Wann kommt ebay??

Das schwebt ja schon lange über diesem Wert!

Offensichtlich wird die Kröte mit 10 GBP für NL Polen nicht geschluckt, der Kurs steht knapp unter 1200 GBp. Müßte ja sonst deutlich über 2000 GBp liegen. Wird Florissant nächste Woche nachlegen? Was meint Ihr?
@Zockerpetry
Ich glaube, dass die Aussichten für TAC und Florissant für eine Übernahme sehr schlecht stehen, da die DB schon 42% hält. Alle weiteren VErsuche der beiden würden ohnehin scheitern und ausserdem viel GEld kosten. Von daher vermute ich, dass die beiden keine weiteren Offerten unterbreiten werden. Ausserdem kann uns dieses Szenario nur recht sein. Das wichtigste ist, dass QXL an der Börse notiert bleibt-und das bleibt die Bude.

naja, also ich denke, daß da schon noch was kommen könnte. Ob die das von Aktionären aller Coleur oder von der DB abkaufen ist doch eigentlich Wurst. Frage ist, was will die DB? Wieviel werden denn die noch kaufen? Vielleicht machen die noch ne Offerte für den Rest! Ich bin gespannt, was sich hier zusammenbraut.
Also, ich glaube, wir sehen nächste Woche ein neues bid von Florissant, vielleicht 21 GBP.

Das wird den Übernahmepreis schön nach oben treiben!
Hallo,
folgende Meldung:
Management vehicle Tiger confirmed that it had reached an agreement with the independent directors of QXL Ricardo after upping its bid for QXL in a deal that could be worth up to £20 per share.
Das heißt die wollen bis 20 Pfund hochgehen. Das wären 66% Kurssteigerung. Die spiegeln sich natürlich auch auf die deutsche Aktie wieder.
Ich denke mal, dass die Aktie für dann später das 5-fache verkauft wird. Also für 100 Pfund. Das ist dann ein kurs von ca. 140 Euro. Das hört sich zwar viel an. Man muss aber bedenken, dass es ein Split damals gab. Das wäre dann also umgerechnet je Aktie nur noch 14 cent. Und das ist verdammt billig für so einen Wert.
In England sind die ein echter Konkurent zu ebay. Ich denke mal das auch ebay sich igendwann mal einschaltet. Die haben ja genug Geld.
ebay ist das Microsoft im 3. Jahrtausend. Da wird man ebenfalls schlecht behandelt.

unter www.uk-wire.com gibt es heute auch ne Mitteilung über Aktienkäufe der ricardo plc 80000 und160000 Stück wechseln da wohl den Besitzer, falls ich das richtig verstanden habe.
Irgendwie gibts da wenig Aktien. Da schießt der Kurs um 3,5% nach oben, weil 10 Aktien gekauft wurden. Leute das sind grad mal 175 Euro.
Von der Gesellschaft scheint es nur noch wenige Aktien zu geben. Geld und brief Kurse sind auch schon bei 1000 Stück. Da braucht jemand dringend die Aktien. Übrigens vor dem Split wären die 1000 Aktien 1000000 Aktien gewesen.
Ich denke das die Firma zwar aufgekauft wird, aber zu einem weitaus höheren Wert als jetzt angegeben ist. Ich bekomme dauernd Briefe wo drin steht das irgend so eine Firma die Aktie für xx britische Pfund haben möchte.
In einigen Berichten steht sogar drin, dass das bisherige Angebot (10 brit. Pfund, ca. 15 Euro) leicht auf das doppelte ansteigen könnte.
Also ich bin dabei. Ich habe zuletzt mich eingedeckt und hoffe das bei 100 Euro Schluss ist. Dann werde ich sie raushauen. Nach altem Kurs sind das grad mal 0,10 Euro. 10 cent.
Das ist wirklich billig.
Die werden wenn sie nicht aufkauft werden, eh demnächst expandieren und ebay wieder ein Konkurrent sein. In Großbritannien sind sie weit vorne. Genug Geld haben sie ja.
Der Umsatz hat sich letztes Jahr verdoppelt und der Verlust halbiert.
Die Schulden sind von 15 Millionen auf ca. 300.000 runter.
Das wird der Renner.
Wer da nicht einsteigt ist selber Schuld.

@zinn123
Nicht vergessen: Vorm Respliting gab es auch Splits. Fakt ist, daß die jetzige Aktie mal 13.000,00 € wert war. Da willst Du bei 100 € verkaufen? Das oben sehen wir eh nicht wieder, aber 10 % davon wären vielleicht drin? Vielleicht sehen wir wieder Splits, um das Ding optisch billiger zu machen.Die Research-Abteilungen der DB werden zur gegebenen Zeit schon für Kauflaune sorgen, falls ebay ausbleibt.
Wo haste denn her, daß die in England so stark seien? Soweit ich weiß, beherrscht ebay dort etwa 90 % des Marktes!
Bleibt zu hoffen, daß wir noch diese Woche als nächsten Schritt ein offerupdate von Florissant sehen, oder haben die gedacht, für 8 GPB gibt es hier was?

Weiß jemand, wie viel Umsatz oder Gewinn allegro.pl letztes Quartal gehabt hat ????
@Zockerpetry
Hallo,
das stimmt schon, dass es ein Split gab. Aber der war zur High-Phase im Jahre 2000. Ist schon klar das man die 13000 Euro nicht mehr wieder sieht. Das war viel zu hoch. Mit deinen 10% bist du zu optimistisch. Ich denke eher an 1%. Also 130 Euro. Deshalb will ich bei 100 aussteigen. Die nächsten 100% Kursgewinn sind eigentlich sicher. Ich glaube mittlerweile streiten sich 5 Käufer drüber wer sie bekommen kann. Die Deutsche Bank kauft auch mit und die sind nicht dumm. Da kann man wieder ein Investmentfond pushen. Und das ohne Probleme.
Wenn man bedenkt das die Aktie gegenüber dem Tief 1072% schon gestiegen ist, sind also weiter 1000% bei der Aktie vollkommen normal.
Das klingt zwar viel. Aber Ricardo.de habe ich auch mit 1000% Gewinn verkauft. Für 10cent eingekauft und für 3 Euro verkauft. Und da gab es keine Meldung von einer Übernahme. Die stehen zwar momentan niedriger, aber trotzdem 500% über den Tiefpunkt.
Die Aktie wird demnächst ausbrechen. Wenn die einfach noch 300% (7zu20) mehr bieten können, als das niedrigste Gebot war, dann war das damals nur Dummenfang.
So nun zu:
@BBandC
Mal schauen was ich hier habe:
Angaben in Britische Pfund in Euro mal 1,45 rechnen:
Da das Gesellschaftsjahr erst im März endet, bloß ein paar Zahlen.
Umsatz stieg in den letzen 9 Monaten gegenüber den Vorjahr um 70%. Im letzten Quartal war den Umsatzsanstieg gegenüber dem Vorjahr 65%.
Ende Jahr 2004 ein Kapitaldefizit von 348.000. Ende 2003 waren es 14.666.000.
Also eine Senkung um 90%. Oder um 14.318.000 Das heißt die könnten Ende dieses Jahres bei gleichen Umsatz und Kosten 14Millis im Plus sein. Bei gleicher Entwicklung locker 10 Millis mehr. Das heißt zum Ende des Jahres muss der Aktienkurs alleine wegen des Gewinnes um locker 70% steigen.
Übrigens das Kapitaldefizit sank, ohne das die eigenen Reserven benutzt wurden. Da ist der gesamte Gewinn in die Kredittilgung geflossen. Das macht nicht jedes Unternehmen.
In Schweiz und Polen sind sie auch gut gestellt.
Wenn man das so auf der Landkarte sieht ist Deutschland mittendrin. Also entweder starten die wieder in Deutschland, oder werden aufgekauft. Und umgerechnet mit allen Splits sind 0,30 cent nicht viel.
Hab noch was entdeckt:
Deputy Chairman Jim Rose said, “Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the Group`s sites, exceeded £30 million in the last quarter and continues to grow steadily.”
Verstehe ich das richtig, dass die in einem Quartal 43,5Mill. Euro Umsatz hatten? Das sind im Jahr 175Mill. Euro.
Ebay hat bloß das 4-fache an Umsatz. Und ebay hat weitaus höhere Kosten (prozentual gesehen).
Also ich will hier nicht sagen, das die besser als ebay sind. Denn es kommt keine mehr an ebay ran. Ist wie bei Microsoft. Aber Konkurrenz ist da und Übernahmen auch.
Übrigens ebay:
Marktkapital. 8,81 Mrd. EUR
QXL:
Marktkapital. 26,40 Mio. EUR
Also bei einen Umsatz gegenüber ebay von 25% ist das Marktkapital. nur bei 2,99%.
Alleine vom Umsatz her könnte die Aktie somit um 843% steigen.
Also es ist Aufwärtspotential da.
Bloß wenig Aktien ;-)
Achtung beim Kauf von 17000 Aktien muss man dies anzeigen, da man schon 1% der Firma hat.

Mit deinen 10% bist du zu optimistisch. Ich denke eher an 1%. Also 130 Euro. Deshalb will ich bei 100 aussteigen. Die nächsten 100% Kursgewinn sind eigentlich sicher. Ich glaube mittlerweile streiten sich 5 Käufer drüber wer sie bekommen kann. Die Deutsche Bank kauft auch mit und die sind nicht dumm. Da kann man wieder ein Investmentfond pushen. Und das ohne Probleme.
Wenn man bedenkt das die Aktie gegenüber dem Tief 1072% schon gestiegen ist, sind also weiter 1000% bei der Aktie vollkommen normal.
Das klingt zwar viel. Aber Ricardo.de habe ich auch mit 1000% Gewinn verkauft. Für 10cent eingekauft und für 3 Euro verkauft. Und da gab es keine Meldung von einer Übernahme. Die stehen zwar momentan niedriger, aber trotzdem 500% über den Tiefpunkt.
Die Aktie wird demnächst ausbrechen. Wenn die einfach noch 300% (7zu20) mehr bieten können, als das niedrigste Gebot war, dann war das damals nur Dummenfang.
So nun zu:
@BBandC
Mal schauen was ich hier habe:
Angaben in Britische Pfund in Euro mal 1,45 rechnen:
Da das Gesellschaftsjahr erst im März endet, bloß ein paar Zahlen.
Umsatz stieg in den letzen 9 Monaten gegenüber den Vorjahr um 70%. Im letzten Quartal war den Umsatzsanstieg gegenüber dem Vorjahr 65%.
Ende Jahr 2004 ein Kapitaldefizit von 348.000. Ende 2003 waren es 14.666.000.
Also eine Senkung um 90%. Oder um 14.318.000 Das heißt die könnten Ende dieses Jahres bei gleichen Umsatz und Kosten 14Millis im Plus sein. Bei gleicher Entwicklung locker 10 Millis mehr. Das heißt zum Ende des Jahres muss der Aktienkurs alleine wegen des Gewinnes um locker 70% steigen.
Übrigens das Kapitaldefizit sank, ohne das die eigenen Reserven benutzt wurden. Da ist der gesamte Gewinn in die Kredittilgung geflossen. Das macht nicht jedes Unternehmen.
In Schweiz und Polen sind sie auch gut gestellt.
Wenn man das so auf der Landkarte sieht ist Deutschland mittendrin. Also entweder starten die wieder in Deutschland, oder werden aufgekauft. Und umgerechnet mit allen Splits sind 0,30 cent nicht viel.
Hab noch was entdeckt:
Deputy Chairman Jim Rose said, “Gross Auction Value, the value of goods traded across the Group`s sites, exceeded £30 million in the last quarter and continues to grow steadily.”
Verstehe ich das richtig, dass die in einem Quartal 43,5Mill. Euro Umsatz hatten? Das sind im Jahr 175Mill. Euro.
Ebay hat bloß das 4-fache an Umsatz. Und ebay hat weitaus höhere Kosten (prozentual gesehen).
Also ich will hier nicht sagen, das die besser als ebay sind. Denn es kommt keine mehr an ebay ran. Ist wie bei Microsoft. Aber Konkurrenz ist da und Übernahmen auch.
Übrigens ebay:
Marktkapital. 8,81 Mrd. EUR
QXL:
Marktkapital. 26,40 Mio. EUR
Also bei einen Umsatz gegenüber ebay von 25% ist das Marktkapital. nur bei 2,99%.
Alleine vom Umsatz her könnte die Aktie somit um 843% steigen.
Also es ist Aufwärtspotential da.
Bloß wenig Aktien ;-)
Achtung beim Kauf von 17000 Aktien muss man dies anzeigen, da man schon 1% der Firma hat.
Schaut euch auch "gap ag" an.
Die haben auch Aufwärtpotential. Sind zwar schon aufgekauft wurden. Allerdings wie ich so gehört habe, soll der Umsatz explodiert sein. Naja dann schauen wir mal auf die nächsten Zahlen. Ich habe mich auf jeden Fall schon mal eingedeckt.
Die haben zwar ihr Telematikbereich nicht mehr, aber ich denke mal das die irgendwelche "Erfindungsrechte" haben. Und wenn diese Geräte in jeden Auto einsetzt werden (wie zuletzt in Fernsehen vorgestellt), ist das das gleiche wie mit dem Tantiemen in der Musikindustrie. Man bekommt Millionen und Millionen fürs nix tun.
So schön möchte man es haben ;-)
Naja bei den Aktien ist es ja in letzter Zeit genauso, man muss bloß die richtigen habe. Und da ist gap und vor allem qxl, aber auch lycos eine gefährliche aber eine gute Wahl. Die steigen garantiert.
Mit altair habe ich auch 100% gemacht. Und die waren gut angelegt.
Wo noch ein bisschen raus zu holen ist , ist 1und1 (United Internet). Da tippe ich auf 50% noch. Hab da schon 60% Gewinn. Wenig, dafür ein sicherer Wert.
Medion auch auch noch Potential von 100%. Die sind damals abgestürzt, wegen Gerüchte, das Aldi kein Abnehmer miehr ist. Iggendwie komisch, ich sehe immer noch Medion bei Aldi. Jetzt sogar mit Notebooks. Gegenüber Gericom sind die auf jeden Fall besser und vor allem Kundenfreundlicher. Das STÄRKT.
ich sehe die bald (Ende des Jahres) wieder bei 25-30 Euro garantiert.

@zinn123
Also, Marktkapitalisierung ebay sind 20,8 Mrd. €!! QXL 28 Mio. €! Nach Deiner Rechnung müßten also locker mehr als 200 GBP dafür geboten werden! Mal sehen, was rauskommt!

Marktkapitalisierung ebay sind 42 Mrd
KGV von 55
Der Umsatz stieg von 648,4 Millionen auf 935,8 Millionen Dollar 935,8*4=3,74 Milliarden $ im jahr und Marktkapitalisierung ebay sind 55 Mrd $ ist 55/3,74= 14,8 facher zu Umsatz
und qxl macht jetzt schun über 10 Millionen Umsatz und nur * 14,8 ist 150 Millionen € Marktkapitalisierung
und der Kurs muss 100€ sein.und mit Allegro.pl muss um die 350€ komen.

Also wie schon Kostelanie (weiß nicht wie der geschrieben wird) warten und rechtzeitig aussteigen. Ich bin zum Glück bei ner Bank wo die Limitstreichungen nix kosten. Bei mir steht QXL mit 99 zum Verkauf. Ich freue mich dann bloß wenn ein großer Batzen auf mein Konto landet.
Eigneltich brauchen wir grnicht mehr weiter diskutieren. Das wird einfach der Renner.
Bitte es sollen sich die trotzdem melden, die Gegenteiliges wissen. Dann kann man wenigstens rechtzeitig aussteigen.
Aber wenn sich schon zu viele um die Firma streiten, das diese die kaufen können, dann heißt es: Wenn sich 5 streiten freut sich der 6. und das sind wir die Aktionäre.
ricardo24.de gehört ja auch noch zu qxl (wird nie mitgeteilt). und wenn ricardo24.de die Angebote von zukünftig QXL-Deutschland mit anzeigt hat man bedeutend mehr Interessenten.
Kurs muss eigentlich nur noch um knapp 600% steigen. Das ist bei der Aktie voll realistisch.

Langsam sehe ich nicht mehr surch, scheint wohl Streit wegen des nachgebesserten Angebotes von TAC zu geben. Die vorher ablieferten, wollen jetzt wohl die anderen 10 GBP für Polen auch haben, oder sehe ich das falsch?
Wieviel Aktien sind jetzt überhaupt noch frei handelbar? 20 %?
Tiger Acquisition Corporation PLC
24 February 2005
Not for release in or into the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan.
Recommended Increased Offer by Tiger Acquisition Corporation plc (`TAC`) for QXL
ricardo plc (`QXL` or the `Company`) (the `Increased Offer`)
Correction to Increased Offer Document Information
TAC despatched the Increased Offer document (`Increased Offer Document`) on 14
February 2005.
In the Increased Offer Document, TAC stated that as at 3.00 pm on 11 February
2005, it had received valid acceptances (which had not been validly withdrawn)
in relation to the Original Offer in respect of a total of 173,340 QXL Shares,
representing approximately 10.20 per cent. of QXL`s existing issued ordinary
share capital.
In addition, TAC stated that it had received irrevocable undertakings to accept
(or procure the acceptance of) the Increased Offer in respect of a total of
187,425 QXL Shares, representing approximately 11.03% of the current issued
ordinary share capital of QXL, from Christopher Fleet, Jeffrey Fleet, Donald
Godwin and Apax Partners Limited.
It has come to the attention of TAC that Apax Partners Limited had in fact
procured the acceptance of the Original Offer before 11 February 2005 in respect
of all the 60,997 QXL Shares held by it. Accordingly, whilst the level of
acceptances received (and which had not previously been validly withdrawn) by
TAC by 3.00 pm on 11 February 2005 remains correct, it includes the 60,997 QXL
Shares held by Apax Partners Limited. Therefore, TAC had received irrevocable
undertakings to accept the Increased Offer in respect of a total of 126,428 QXL
Shares, representing approximately 7.4% of the current issued ordinary share
capital of QXL, for which acceptances had not already been received prior to the
posting of the Increased Offer Document.
TAC is advised that the irrevocable undertaking given by Apax Partners Limited
remains in force (in particular, in relation to the circumstances in which
acceptance of the Increased Offer may be withdrawn).
Terms defined in the Increased Offer Document sent to QXL Shareholders on 14
February 2005 and the Original Offer Document sent to QXL Shareholders on 26
November 2004 (save to the extent superseded in the Increased Offer Document)
shall have the same meaning when used in this announcement.

Andere Frage, was ist ricardo-aktien?
Die sind momentan ca 1,50 Wert.
Man bekam mal für eine ricardo Aktie 34 QXL Aktien. Das wären nach dem Split 0,034 QXL-Aktien.
Wenn ricardo fair bewertet wäre, dann müsste QXL einen Wert von 1,47*34/1000=0,05 euro haben.
Wenn QXL fair bewertet wäre müsste ricardo einen Wert von 17*1000/34=500 Euro haben.
Oder sehe ich das falsch?
Habe mit ricardo schon einmal 1000% Gewinn gemacht. Ich glaube da lohnt sich der Einstieg bald wieder.

meine herren,wieso tauchen immer diese kauforder mit den 3 stücken auf?
Ja, schön lächerlich, aber da macht einer Kurse, auch in London werden da teilweise lächerliche Stückzahlen gehandelt. Nun müßte ja langsam mal ein Gegenangebot von Florissant erscheinen, offer Tac für QXL läuft am 03.03.05 aus.
An der NASDAQ wurden am 24.02.2005 250 Stück zu 22,20$ gehandelt. Auch nicht schlecht!

Ich tippe mal auf Kurspflege. Ist allerdings lächerlich bei der geringen Stückzahl.

Na, auf jeden Fall dauert das Angebot noch bis 14.03.2005 und Florissant hat sich noch nicht gemeldet. Ansonsten teilen die mit, von wem die inzwischen wieviel Aktien erhalten haben, wenn ich das richtig sehe.
Ja, sehe ich auch so. Und nach dem 14.03.2005 wollen die eine weitere Offerte unterbreiten. Was soll denn das bloß? Am 18. und 22.03.2005 sind die nächsten Verhandlungen in Polen anberaumt. Spätestens am 08.04.2005 wird das abschließende Urteil erwartet. Ist doch wohl logisch, dass die Aktionäre den Aufschwung mitnehmen und die Aktien nicht vorher für ´nen Appel und ein Ei hergeben.

ich werde also weiterhin halten.

Na, Salamitaktik, schrittweise Angebot erhöhen, einkassieren und die, die zu zeitig ihre Papiere abgeben, haben den Schaden. Gab ja schon Streit nach der zweiten Erhöhung für den Fall, daß allegro Polen zurückkommt. Die gehen auf Dummenfang. DB hat noch kein Scheinchen rausgerückt, sogar noch nachgekauft nach dieser Erhöhung.
Hier alles noch mal in einfacherem English.
Ebay wird auf keinen Fall reagieren, bevor nicht sicher ist, daß Polen zurückkommt. Danach könnte ich mir ein Angebot von denen vorstellen!!
LONDON (AFX) - Management buy-out vehicle Tiger Acquisition Corporation PLC said
its raised offer for QXL Ricardo PLC had received acceptances in respect of
325,221 QXL shares, or 19.13 pct of the issued share capital, at 3.00 pm
yesterday.
The offer period has been extended to end at 3.00 pm on March 14, 2005, at which
point a further announcement will be made.

increased offer will be 10 stg cash per QXL share plus up to another 10 stg if
QXL`s litigation in Poland is successful. Excluding the litigation entitlement,

Also schön festhalten die Papiere! Florissant hat ja heute schon etwas nachgelegt, aber mit dem Angebot locken die doch auch keinen hinterm Ofen vor!!
TAC muß jetzt wieder schnell reagieren. Würde mich nicht wundern, wenn ein Kaufvertrag mit ebay schon als Blanko da liegt.

Könnte die DB auch im Auftrag von ebay gekauft haben? Wenn ja, was wären die Folgen?
Entweder mischt die DB die QXL-Aktien einem Fonds bei oder sie tritt als Strohmann für Ebay auf. Weiss jemand wie Ebays übliches Übernahmeprocedere ist? HAben die schon mal über eine Bank so eine Übernahme durchgeführt? Nach meinem Wissen ist dies noch nicht der FAll gewesen. Lass mich aber gerne belehren. Ich vermute eher eine Fondsbeimischung. Meiner Meinung nach wäre es besser, wenn Ebay erst mal nicht übernehmen würde, damit die Kurse laufen können-damit würden wir Kleinaktionäre am besten fahren. Erst wenn er bei 400-500 Euro steht dürfen die meinetwegen ne Offerte abgeben.
So long!

Angebot und Nachfrage! Bei der Verknappung könnte die Nachfrage sehr schnell das Angebot übersteigen. Bei onvista kann man die Fondzusammensetzung sehen. Z.B. DWS Internetaktien Typ O, mal sehen, ob die da mal auftauchen (984800).

Wenn die DB so fett drin ist, müßte man noch nachkaufen oder was meint ihr?

Freunde von mir haben heute auch noch richtig aufgestockt. Hoffen wir mal, dass alles nach unserem Geschmack läuft. Habe noch mit Bankern über die hohe BEteiligung der DB diskutiert: wir alle gehen davon aus, dass die Käufe Fondsbeimischungen sind.

OFFERS BY
TIGER ACQUISITION CORPORATION PLC (`TIGER`)
AND
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT NV (`FLORISSANT`)
FOR
QXL RICARDO PLC (`QXL`)
On 26 November 2004, Tiger posted an offer to QXL shareholders. On 20 January
2005, Florissant posted an offer to QXL shareholders. On 14 February, Tiger
increased its offer. On 3 March, Florissant increased its offer.
In order to provide an orderly framework for the resolution of the competing
offers for QXL and in accordance with Rule 32.5 of the Code, the Panel Executive
has ruled in the following terms. Each of Tiger, Florissant and QXL has
accepted this ruling.
1. The offer timetable shall be extended, such that the latest date on which
either offer may become or be declared unconditional as to acceptances
will be Tuesday 5 April or, if the procedure set out in paragraphs 3 to
16 below (`the Auction Procedure`) comes into effect, the twenty-first
day after the latest date on which any bidder is required to post its
revised offer document in accordance with paragraph 9 below.
2. The latest time by which either bidder will be permitted to announce a
revised offer, other than in accordance with the Auction Procedure or
with the consent of the Panel, shall be 5.00 p.m. on Monday 7 March.
Any party that announces a revised offer before such time must, except
with the consent of the Panel, post its revised offer document
on or before the seventh day after the date of the announcement of the
revision.
3. If a competitive situation still exists as at 5.00 p.m. on Monday
7 March, then the procedure set out below shall operate.
4. If either bidder wishes to announce a revised offer after 5.00 p.m. on
Monday 7 March, the full text of the revised firm offer announcement
(`the Offer Announcement`) must be:
• lodged with the Panel by fax or by hand before 4.00 p.m. on
the relevant day; and
• delivered to a Regulatory Information Service by 5.00 p.m. on
the relevant day embargoed for publication until that time.
5. If either bidder announces a revised offer on Tuesday 8 March (`the
Auction Start Date`), each bidder shall then be able to announce a
revised offer on Wednesday 9 March. If neither of the bidders announces
a revised offer on Tuesday 8 March, the Auction Procedure shall then end
and no revised offer may be announced thereafter.
6. If either bidder announces a revised offer on Wednesday 9 March, each
bidder shall then be able to announce a revised offer on Thursday
10 March. If neither of the bidders announces a revised offer on
Wednesday 9 March, the Auction Procedure shall then end and no revised
offer may be announced thereafter.
7. No revised offer may be announced by either bidder after Thursday
10 March and the Auction Procedure shall then end.
8. Each bidder may only make one Offer Announcement each day during the
Auction Procedure (including on the Auction Start Date) and any such
Announcement must follow the procedure described in paragraph 4 above.
9. Any party that announces a revised offer during the Auction Procedure
must (except with the consent of the Panel) post its revised offer
document on or before the seventh day after the date on which the last
offer is announced by either bidder in accordance with the Auction
Procedure.
10. Neither bidder, nor any person acting in concert with it, may deal in
any QXL relevant securities (as defined in Note 2 on Rule 8) after
5.00 p.m. on Monday 7 March until the end of the Auction Procedure,
other than with the consent of the Panel. However, there is no
restriction on either bidder obtaining irrevocable commitments or
letters of intent during this period. Following the end of the Auction
Procedure, neither bidder (nor any person acting in concert with it)
may, during the offer period, acquire any QXL shares on better terms
than those made available under its offer.
11. A revised offer announced in accordance with the Auction Procedure must
represent an increase in the consideration (whether contingent or
non-contingent and in cash or otherwise) offered by that bidder of 25p
or more per QXL share but need not be superior to any offer made or
announced by the other bidder.
12. Any revised offer resulting from the above procedure must comply with
all applicable provisions of the Code, including Rule 24.7, and may not
be subject to any conditions other than those to which its existing
offer is subject.
13. For the purposes of these rules, a revised offer shall include the
introduction of a new offer.
14. Formula offers will not be permitted.
15. Time shall be of the essence for the purposes of the interpretation of
these rules, unless the Panel otherwise agrees.
16. The Panel reserves the discretion to amend the rules set out above as it
sees fit.

Wenn ich daß richtig verstehe, so beginnt eine Gebotsfrist am 07.03.2005 für Florissant und TAC, jeder darf nur ein Gebot pro Tag abgeben, die Gebotsfrist endet am 05.04.05. Bis Montag, den 07.03.05, 17.00 Uhr müssen beide je ein Gebot abgeben. Falls ein Gebot gemacht wird, muß die Option auf ein weiteres innerhalb der o.g. Frist (05.04.2005) enthalten sein, sonst ist Schluß. Ab dem 08.05.2005 kann wahrscheinlich keiner von beiden mehr bezahlen, denn dann kommt Polen zurück!!
Jetzt schießen die Kurse nach oben!!!

Da kam wieder ein neues Angebot. Schaut doch mal auf der Londoner Börse. Das Angebot umfasst ca. 20 brit. Pfund je Aktie. Also nochmal 33% Steigerung. Das heißt bei uns einen Kurs von ca. 29 Euro.
Da sind meine ca. 100 Euro nicht mehr weit entfernt. Mittlerweile haben sich schon 2 Banken mit Aktien eingedeckt und verkaufen nicht. Polen bringt bald neue Wuartalszahlen und wenn die noch besser ausfallen als die letzteren gegenüber dem Vorjahr heißt das noch ein paar Euros nach oben. Meine 100 werde ich bald erreichen. JUHU.

ja, damit hält die DB ca. 55 % an dem Laden! Was hat das für Folgen?
Tac hat doch wirklich die Frechheit besessen, 0,25 GBP auf die NL-Polen-Option mehr zu bieten! Na so wird das nie was!
Wenn Ihr bei allegro.pl auf die Seite geht, findet Ihr bei der Adresse nicht mehr den Namen NIAA, also die Firma von Arjan Baker. Somit sind die schon dabei, die Chose umzumodeln!! Baker hat ja 92% der Aktien QXL-Polen in den Schutzbereich seiner Firma NIAA überführt und damit gekapert. Also wird es zwingend eine Rückführung der wesentlichen Vermögenswerte geben.
Je höher der Prozentsatz der Instis an QXL desto besser für uns: kein Squeeze out, muss an der Börse bleiben, die Instis können Verkäufe blockieren bzw. zustimmen, wenn der Preis stimmt etc. Für uns also eine äusserst komfortable Situation. Vermute mal, dass die mindestens die Haltefrist abwarten, um dann steuerfrei einzusacken. Könnte mir vorstellen, dass Ebay richtig Kohle hinlegen muss, wenn man bedenkt, dass QXL-Polen eine polnische mobile.de (otomoto.pl) etabliert hat, die auch noch ziemlich gut läuft!
So long und uns allen satte Gewinne!!!!!!!!!

Na, wo bleibt denn Florissant - Schnauze voll? Das war es dann wohl erst mal, allerdings müßte der Kurs sich nun langsam mal auf GBP 20,50 zubewegen. Der Markt traut der Rückkehr von qxl.pl wohl nicht!
LONDON (AFX) - Tiger Acquisition Corporation PLC said it has made a third
increased offer for online autioneer QXL Ricardo PLC which is worth a potential
20.50 stg per share.
The independent directors of QXL Ricardo PLC said earlier today that Tiger
Acquisition Corporation (TAC) and Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV had until
5.00 pm today to revise their offers.
If neither company revised their offer by that time, the auction process would
end, QXL said, adding that if it received a further offer, the auction process
would continue until 5.00 pm tomorrow.
QXL shareholders were last month offered up to 20.25 stg per share by TAC, a
buy-out vehicle formed by the company`s management.
The TAC offer made today includes 10 stg per share in cash, plus an additional
10.50 stg per share if an ongoing legal dispute over the ownership of QXL`s
Polish affiliate is resolved in the company`s favour.
The third increased offer values the entire existing issued ordinary share
capital of QXL at approximately 17 mln stg, without attributing any value to the
Revised New Litigation Entitlement Units of 10.50 stg per share.

Na, wer sagt es denn: Die haben sich zusammengeschmissen, damit sie sich nicht mehr totbieten müssen. Denen ist klar, daß die Banken eh nix rausrücken, bevor der Kurs nicht satt gestiegen ist. Und die paar freien Aktien auf dem Markt machen den Kohl auch nicht mehr fett. Bezeichnend, daß Florissant sein Angebot bis zum 07.04.2005 offen hält! Die verkaufen aber auch alles für blöd. Haben den Kurs zum Feierabend heute wahrscheinlich auch noch selbst gedrückt, um den rest vor dem gerichtsurteil noch zu kassieren! Be cool man and wait!!
LONDON (AFX) - Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV said it will not revise its
recommended 1,400 pence bid for online auctioneer QXL Ricardo PLC after reaching
a deal with one of the funders of rival bidder Tiger Acquisitions Corp PLC.
The agreement gives Great Hill Equity Partners II LLC, Tiger`s principal funder,
an option to subscribe for 23 pct of Florissant after Florissant`s bid for QXL
is declared unconditional.
As a result of the deal, Tiger`s increased offer for QXL will not be revised or
extended. Great Hill will also seek to ensure that Tiger gets a dispensation
from posting the third revised offer of 20.25 stg it announced yesterday and to
lapse Tiger`s offer on March 14, its next closing date.
Florissant`s bid will remain open for acceptance until April 7.

So reißt man sich einen Laden billig unter den Nagel!!!
The backer of a management buyout at online auction company QXL Ricardo has made an astonishing volte face and agreed to buy a stake in the private equity vehicle vying for control of the company a day after management issued a revised bid.
Boston-based private equity firm Great Hill Equity Partners, which is the principal source of funding for the management`s Tiger Acquisition vehicle, has jumped ship and agreed to acquire a 23% interest in rival bid-vehicle Florissant should its bid prove successful.
As a result Florissant will not increase its bid and the management offer appears to be holed below the water line. The news had a withering effect on the QXL share price (QXL) as investors who had pushed it above £15.00 in the hope the bidding war would continue scrambled to realise what gains they could. QXL closed the day 7% or 105.5p lower at £13.95.
At 5pm last night Tiger made its final tilt at QXL by increasing the total value of its offer by 25p to £20.50, although £10.50 of this was in the form of a litigation entitlement note attached to the outcome of a legal battle over the ownership of QXL Poland. Florissant has put a £14.00 cash offer on the table, which will not be increased following today`s developments.
Great Hill has said it will do all it can to win dispensation for Tiger withdraw its last revised offer.

D.h. zu qxl gehört auch noch das Autoportal analog zu unserem deutschen Mobile.de - hat ebay ja übrigens letztes Jahr ja auch gekauft. So wie ich ebay einschätze, stehen die schon für eine Übernahme in den Startlöcher. Alle QXL-Aktien sind in festen Händen, keiner rückt sie mehr raus - wo soll der Kurs von allein noch hingehen? Wie seht Ihr das?

Langsam fangen die Direktoren von QXL an mir leid zu tun. Werden so verschaukelt...
Vielleicht schieben die den ganzen Tag Aktienberge hin und her (TAC und Florissant). Sieht doch sehr nach Kursmanipulation aus!! In Frankfurt wurde der Kurs mit 8 Aktien um 1 € gedrückt. Wer macht denn so was! In London das gleiche Spiel, nur mit etwas mehr Aktien, mal 1, mal 25 usw. Die wollen den Kurs unten halten. Bei Ricardo wird auch laufend gedeckelt!

Deiner eigenen Euphorie in Bezug auf QXL will ich zwar keinen Abbruch tun, aber m.E. können die Meldungen über die aktuellen Beteiligungsverhältnisse der Deutschen Bank nicht einfach zusammenaddiert werden. Ich lasse mich auch gerne vom Gegenteil überzeugen, aber m.E. sind diese Meldungen immer der sich verändernde Beteiligungsstand eines Dritten, wie hier der Deutschen Bank, also keine Meldungen über Neuerwerb.
Durch die letzten Meldungen wird aber auf jeden Fall eine Akzeptanz der Übernahme von über 30% wahrscheinlicher als zuvor ...

Deine Ansicht wäre aber für die heutigen Londoner Umsätze auf jeden Fall die einzig sinnvolle Erklärung!

Du wirst Recht haben. Gestern sind in GB über 892.000 Aktien gehandelt worden. Aber wie bekommt man denn nun heraus, wieviel die DB hält, wenn man die einzelnen Messages nicht einfach addieren kann?

Das die Banken eingestiegen sind, waer eh ein angenehmer Nebeneffekt, weil das Unternehmen so wohl doch börsennotiert bleibt. Wir spekulieren doch eh auf die Rückführung von QXL-Polen und ein späteres Angebot von ebay. Ersteres müßte ab 08.04.2005 die Kurse nach oben bringen.

LONDON (AFX) - QXL Ricardo PLC sacked its chairman because of a conflict of
interest, one day after one of two competing bidders for the online auctioneer
said it had done a deal with its rival.

Für uns ist das doch bloß gut: je instabiler bei denen die Lage ist, desto besser für uns. DIe können dann jedenfalls keine klare Strategie mehr fahren sondern fetzen sich nur und machen u.U. fatale Fehler. Das ist dann der Anfang vom Ende. Weiter so!
Habe von meiner Bank ein Angebot bekommen, meine QXL Aktien für 15 brit. Pfund zu verkaufen. Wieso ist dann der Kurs in GB nicht einmal 14 brit. Pfund.
Rein theoretisch würde ich wenn ich jetzt nach kaufe 1 brit. Pfund je aktie gut machen. Das sind bei 1000 Aktie 1000 brit. Pfund. Das heißt ich würde heute 1430 Euro verdienen.
Angebot gilt bis morgen.
Ich glaube da steige ich ein.
Mal schauen wo ich Aktien noch her bekomme.

Na, dann lies mal genau!
Das Abfindungsangebot von Florissant beträgt 14,00 GBP.
Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung des Schreibens durch Deine Bank hat diese Dir lediglich mitgeteilt, daß Du am Markt mehr wie 14 GBP zu genau diesem Zeitpunkt, nämlich ca. GBP 15,14 erhalten hättest! Das war mal und wird wieder!
@all
Also die Kursdeckelei ist ja schon peinlich. In Frankfurt wird der Kurs nach jedem Anstieg über den Umrechnungswert der Londoner Börse mit leinsten Stückzahlen wieder runtergebracht. Und London wird auch gedeckelt. Sinn macht doch nur ein Kurs mit 14,00 GBP oder mehr. Wer verkauft denn da ständig unter Wert des Florissantangebotes?!
Bin ja gespannt auf die Mitteilung, welchen Besitzer die großen Pakete von Freitag und heute gewechselt haben. Ich glaube mehr wie 1 % der Aktien ist anzeigepflichtig.

Antwort gefunden!! Florissant hat ganz schön zugeschlagen!!
LONDON (AFX) - QXL Ricardo PLC said Teather and Greenwood, on behalf of
Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV, has bought 154,000 ordinary shares in the
company at 1400 pence each and now holds 460,000 shares, representing 27.06 pct
of QXL.
Earlier this month, Florissant said it has increased its offer for QXL to 1400
pence per share and had agreed terms with the independent directors on these
terms.
The increased offer values QXL at 23.8 mln stg.
Florissant also said it will not revise this recommended 1,400 pence bid for
online auctioneer QXL Ricardo PLC after reaching a deal with one of the funders
of rival bidder Tiger Acquisitions Corp PLC.
The agreement gives Great Hill Equity Partners II LLC, Tiger`s principal funder,
an option to subscribe for 23 pct of Florissant after Florissant`s bid for QXL
is declared unconditional.
As a result of the deal, Tiger`s increased offer for QXL will not be revised or
extended.
Great Hill will also seek to ensure that Tiger gets a dispensation from posting
the third revised offer of 20.50 stg it announced yesterday and to lapse Tiger`s
offer on March 14, its next closing date.

Tac hat sein drittes Angebot zurückgezogen und gibt den Aktionären, die darauf angenommen haben, deren Aktien zurück. Geschickter Schachzug, um die Kurse unten zu halten. War wohl so wenig, daß es nicht lohnte.
Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, halten Tac und Florissant zusammen jetzt etwa 50 %, DB 30 %, Goldman Sachs 5 %? Da sind also die dicken Brocken der letzten Tage von Florissant vom Aktienmarkt weggekauft worden!?

concert with TAC (namely J B Bulkeley, M X Zaleski (and Isabelle Gaspar, his
wife), R S Dighero and T T Parkinson) were beneficial holders of a total of

returned to them as soon as possible (and in any event within the next fourteen
days) in accordance with the terms of the Increased Offer; and
- In the case of QXL Shareholders who hold their QXL Shares in uncertificated
form (that is, in CREST), Capita IRG Plc, as escrow agent, will give
instructions to CRESTCo to transer all QXL Shares held in escrow balance and in
relation to which it is the escrow agent for the purposes of the Offer and the
Increased Offer to the original available balances of the QXL Shareholder
concerned.

Hab noch mal was zum Stellenwert von allegro.pl gefunden:
Seit 1999 (im gleichen Jahr startete eBay Deutschland) gibt es in Polen eine Plattform, die nach einem ähnlichen Prinzip funktioniert. Eine Gruppe von talentierten Studenten hat sich die Idee abgeguckt und hier in Poznań Allegro.pl gegründet. Nach fünf Jahren aggressiven Marketings und der Hilfe von QXL (ein Riese, der Allegro in der Zwischenzeit aufgekauft hat) ist diese Firma zum ultimativen Marktführer geworden und hat den Markt fest in ihrer Hand. Allegro wurde hierzulande (so wie eBay anderswo) zum Monopolisten und bestimmt gnadenlos die Regeln. Willst du erfolgreich etwas per Internet verkaufen, dann wählst du allegro.pl. Man kann natürlich auch woanders seine Produkte loswerden - an einer Stelle, wo man keine (saftigen) Provisionen zahlen muss, aber man muss dann auch damit rechen, dass man weniger Kunden haben wird. Das ist ganz einfach eine Eigenschaft der Internet-Auktionen: Ein Land – Ein Hauptmarkt. Doch die Konkurrenz schläft nicht, und wenn die Betreiber des Marktführers nicht damit anfangen, sich Sorgen zu machen, dann kann sich das Blatt sehr schnell wenden.

Na, mit 60 % bei der DB bin ich skeptisch.
Goldman Sachs ca. 5 %
Florissant ca. 29 %
Tac knapp 17 %
Marktvolumen ca. 500000, wenn man berücksichtigt, daß von 800000 Stück ca. 300000 letzte Woche von Florissant weggekauft wurden, daß sind ca. 45 % Handelsvolumen gewesen
also die DB hat wahrscheinlich wirklich nicht mehr als die o.g. 6 %, es sei denn, die hat noch in den letzten Tagen was nachgekauft. Vielleicht waren das wirklich nur Veränderungsmitteilungen und sind daher nicht addierbar.
Sonderbar finde ich, daß ich nie ein erhöhtes Übernahmeangebot von TAC über die 10+10 GBP und auch nicht über die 10+10,25 GBP bekommen habe.

heute wurde schon wieder ein Paket mit 48 k zu 14 GBP übern Tisch geschoben, ich glaube, Florissant kauft weiter. Die Kurse scheinen sich nun über 14 GBP festzusetzen. Je näher der 08.04.2005 kommt, om so mehr müßten die Kurse eigentlich steigen.
So richtig schlau werde ich aus diesen Mitteilungen nicht! Also hat die DB nur 5,99 % und GS gar nichts?

Könnte aber auch sein, dass sich GS mit seinen ca. 5% zufrieden gibt und nicht weiter kaufen möchte. Vielleicht hatten die eine Option bis zum 15.03.2005, um nochmal nachzukaufen und haben dies dann nicht getan.

Also m.E. hat die Deutsche Bank danach 5,99% und Goldman Sachs tatsächliche keine QXL Aktien mehr.
Heute übrigens gemeldet: Florissant NV 29,88% .
Also wenn ich QXL und keine ricardo.de Aktien hätte, hätte ich wohl spätestens jetzt QXL in ricardo.de getauscht ...
Die Charts von QXL und ricardo.de in der letzten Zeit im Vergleich finde ich jedenfalls recht interessant, siehe Posting vom "Indexking": Thread: Aktie vor Kursvervielfachung aufgrund Übernahmespekulation&Turnaround .

Na, mit ricardo.de wäre ich man vorsichtig. Wieso jetzt etwas kaufen, was mir (QXL) eh schon gehört. Und wenn QXL den Rest zu 95 % nachkauft vom freien Markt, na dann Sqeeze out for nothing. Ist mir zu heiß.
Immerhin ist interessant, daß auch dort die Kurse gedeckelt werden.

Hier ne alte Meldung von Mitte Januar. Florissant sitzt auf den Antillen!
Die QXL ricardo plc, die direkt und indirekt ca. 90% der Aktien der ricardo.de AG hält, informierte die ricardo.de AG heute darüber, dass die britischen Finanzdienstleistungsunternehmen Hawkpoint Partners Limited und ISB Corporate Finance, hierbei handelnd für die Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V., allen Aktionären der QXL ricardo plc ein Angebot zum Erwerb sämtlicher ihrer Aktien unterbreitet haben.
Dieses Angebot konkurriert insoweit mit dem bereits am 26. November 2004 eröffneten Angebot der Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited, welches nach mehrmaliger Verlängerung des Angebotszeitraums derzeit immer noch in Kraft ist. Wie mitgeteilt, handelt es sich bei der Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. um eine Holdinggesellschaft mit Sitz auf den Niederländischen Antillen.
Laut Information beinhaltet das bereits eröffnete Angebot der Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. eine Barzahlung in Höhe von 8 Britischen Pfund je Aktie der QXL ricardo plc. Damit liegt dieses Angebot um ein Britisches Pfund höher als das Angebot der Tiger Acquisition Corporation Limited.
Je nach Erfolg des Übernahmeangebots könnte sich für die Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. eine rechtliche Verpflichtung nach den einschlägigen deutschen Gesetzesbestimmungen, insbesondere nach § 35 Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz (WpÜG) ergeben, auch den Aktionären der gegenwärtig im Streubesitz befindlichen Aktien der ricardo.de AG ein Angebot zum Erwerb dieser Aktien zu unterbreiten.

Je nach Erfolg des Übernahmeangebots könnte sich für die Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. eine rechtliche Verpflichtung nach den einschlägigen deutschen Gesetzesbestimmungen, insbesondere nach § 35 Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz (WpÜG) ergeben, auch den Aktionären der gegenwärtig im Streubesitz befindlichen Aktien der ricardo.de AG ein Angebot zum Erwerb dieser Aktien zu unterbreiten.

Der Wachstum von Ricardo.de ist nur in der Schweiz (ricardo.ch)
Und ricardo.ch war schon mal bei qxl aber als ricardo.de zu gemacht wurde hat ricardo.de das Schweiz Auktionhaus wieder zurück gekauft.und wer gibt dir Garantie, dass qxl die nicht wieder zurück kaufen wurden ?

Schaut mal unter www.aukcje-ebay.pl nach. Nette Überraschung. Sinngemäß steht da drin, dass sich Ebay in Kürze in Polen etablieren wird und schon jetzt mal Interessierten die Möglichkeit bietet ebay über ebay.co.uk bzw. allegro.pl kennen zu lernen. Einfach das Enblem von Allegro anklicken - schon ist man da! Also einen besseren Hinweis auf eine Übernahme durch ebay nach Rückführung kann es ja wohl nicht geben!

geil
geh gleich mal nachschauen

Na sieht ja echt lecker aus mit allegro. Bloß, sind wir die einzigen, die das gemerkt haben? Der Kurs müßte doch nunmehr regelrecht abpfeifen. Na, die warten alle sicher erst mal alle auf ein Angebot.

Streit um Eigentum an polnischer Auktionssite Allegro.pl
In einem Streit um das Eigentum an der polnischen Auktionswebsite Allegro.pl ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft Posen. Neben dem niederländischen Manager der Site, Arjan Bakker, ist auch der polnische Rechtsanwalt Przemyslaw Rogowski des schweren Diebstahls angeklagt. Die Website wird von der von der britischen QXL Ricardo im Jahr 2000 in Polen gegründeten QXL Poland betrieben. Aufgrund einer Änderung der gesetzlichen Vorschriften in Polen musste Anfang 2001 das Grundkapital von QXL Poland von 4.000 auf 50.000 Zloty erhöht werden. Diese Kapitalerhöhung nutzte Bakker zur Übernahme der polnischen Firma. Alle neuen Anteile im Nennwert von 46.000 Zloty oder 92 Prozent der gesamten Anteile wurden von Rechtsanwalt Rogowski für eine NIAA SP z o.o. eingetragen.
QXL Ricardo wirft nun Arjan Bakker, dem Manager von QXL Poland, und seiner Frau vor, auf diesem Weg das Unternehmen widerrechtlich in ihr Eigentum gebracht zu haben. NIAA gehört weiteren Unternehmen, die unter der Kontrolle des Ehepaars stehen sollen. Bakker hingegen meint, die Briten hätten sich absichtlich von Allegro.pl, die damals in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten gesteckt habe, getrennt. Das britische Unternehmen, das seit November 2001 mit Mark Zaleski einen CEO polnischer Abstammung aufweist, hat jedenfalls strafrechtliche Anzeigen erstattet und Zivilklagen eingereicht. Ein polnisches Gericht hat im März 2003 NIAA einstweilig untersagt, die Anteile zu veräußern oder die damit verbundenen Stimmrechte zu nutzen. Obwohl QXL Poland auch untersagt wurde, Verkäufe abseits des alltäglichen Geschäftes zu tätigen, sind laut QXL Ricardo wesentliche Werte aus dem Vermögen der polnischen Firma entfernt worden. Im Oktober 2003 wurde vom Gericht schließlich ein Interimsverwalter bestellt, der jedoch laut QXL Ricardo wenig kooperativ bei der Rückabwicklung der verbotenen Verkäufe sein soll.
Von der notwendigen Kapitalerhöhung will QXL Ricardo nichts gewusst haben. Das Unternehmen dürfte tatsächlich erst Ende 2002 auf die geänderten Eigentumsverhältnisse an der (ehemaligen) Tochter aufmerksam geworden sein. Im Oktober 2003 haben die Briten, die bis November 2003 in Deutschland ricardo.de betrieben hatten, mit Aukcje24.pl ein neues Projekt in Polen gestartet. Dabei wurden die Kunden des ehemaligen Konkurrenten Adico.pl übernommen. Den Kampf um Allegro.pl wollen sie weiterführen und zeigen sich siegesgewiss, wenngleich sie noch eine längere Laufzeit der Verfahren erwarten. Allegro.pl, deren Umsätze stark gestiegen sind, würde einen wesentlichen Teil des Wertes von QXL Ricardo ausmachen. Gemeinsam mit Aukcje24.pl hätte das Unternehmen eine sehr starke Position am polnischen Online-Versteigerungsmarkt. (Daniel AJ Sokolov) / (jk/c`t)

Rogue lawyer `guilty` in QXL case
The internet auction site has had limited sucess in the UK
QXL Ricardo, the UK`s answer to internet auction site Ebay, has scored a victory in its bid to win back control of its "stolen" Polish arm.
A solicitor for QXL Poland signed the company over to its local managing director through the illegal issue of 92% of its shares.
Prezemyslaw Rogowski has now been found guilty on all six counts of breach of professional ethics.
The case still continues and the company has not got its shares back yet
There is no hearing date for the main civil case yet. The current case centres on the role the solicitor played in signing over the shares and it seems likely that proceedings will drag on for some time yet.
Defrauded
The Polish courts are waiting for an independent valuation of QXL Poland, which will allow prosecutors to estimate the value of the fraud.
Commenting on the ruling against Mr Rogowski, company secretary Tom Parkinson said: "In terms of the message that this sends out to the legal system and to the Polish public, it is important."
"We have spent 18 months working our way through the court system, but it`s worth too much for us to walk away."
QXL Ricardo was launched in the internet boom of the late Nineties, but was almost immediately upstaged by its US rival Ebay.
However, it has survived by gaining footholds in local niche markets in places like Denmark and Norway.
Switzerland is QXL`s biggest market where it is level pegging with Ebay.

ebay schickt sich an, allegro Konkurenz zu machen, räumt aber ein, das allegro ein sehr ernst zu nehmender Partner in Polen sei. Warum führt ebay Interessierte auf die Seite von allegro, also der Konkurenz, wenn sie eine eigene Internetadresse www.ebay.pl schon seit Monaten haben und mit Kennwort belegen?

ich glaube, dass die Dich ganz schön verschaukelt haben. Als es ricardo.de noch gab, habe ich vor ca. 3 Jahren mal was bei denen auf`s Discussionboard bzgl. QXL/ ricardo.de geschrieben (weiß allerdings nicht mehr worum es ging). Einen Tag später hat mich doch tatsächlich der Justiziar Hartmut Heinke (jetzt glaube ich ist er Vorstandsmitglied bei ricardo24.de) angerufen, um mich wegen meines Postings zu interviewen. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass der nicht gerade den Durchblick hatte. Entweder tat der nur dumm oder aber er wußte tatsächlich nicht die primitivsten Dinge über seinen Arbeitgeber.
Also glaub mal bloss nicht alles, was die Dir so erzählen.

Erstmal ist es die Größe des Aktienpakets - ziemlich klein, wenn die Kohle über die Börse generieren wollen. Zumal entspricht das Paket in etwa der Größe des von Bakker veruntreuten Aktienpakets von 92%. Zweitens werden die Angestellten wie das bei AGs nun mal üblich ist, mit Optionen bedacht. Warum sollten die Aktienkurse jetzt darauf reagieren? Die HArtgesottenen halten doch den Großteil - und die lehnen sich gemütlich zurück und warten erstmal ab. Und außerdem werden nur noch wenige im Freefloat sein.
hm, klingt logisch, aber daß der Laden nunmehr zurückgeführt wird, müßte sich eigentlich sehr wohl auf die Kurse auswirken.Ist doch ein wesentlicher Wertanteil der gesamten Firma. Vermutlich sind die jetzt profitabel unterm Strich.
@Zockerpetry
Du bist ja süß: vermutlich sind die jetzt profitabel... Über die Plattform Allegro läuft etwa 80% des polnischen e-commerce. Allegro Polen hat etwa den Stellenwert wie ebay bei uns in Deutschland. Na, fällt der Groschen...?

Wat isn dat fürne wahnsinnige Veränderung von über 800 %, die da im Kurs oben ausgeworfen wird. Wäre zwar traumhaft, muß aber ne Fehlanzeige sein! (13,20 bei +11,80)

Ja, ich wundere mich auch schon. Was vermutest Du dahinter?
keine Ahnung, wieviele von den Aktien in Frankfurt gehandelt werden, vielleicht will man verhindern, daß ein Börsenplatz den anderen ansteckt? Vielleicht soll ein Durchschnittskurs für ein neues Angebot her nach dem 07.04.2005? Ich weiß es nicht.. Vielleicht will man weiter günstig in London einsammeln und drückt deshalb die Kurse. Die kriegen ja mit ihren 2 Stück die Kurse in London auch nicht mehr unter die Marke von1400 GBp.
heute in London Schluß 1470 GBp, wird wohl langsam...
Na, hoffentlich. Die Deckelei geht mir allmählich ganz schön auf den Keks. Habe mir meine Theorie nochmal von Bankern bestätigen lassen. Interessant wäre es jetzt zu erfahren, innerhalb welcher Zeitspanne Informationen von solch einer Tragweite zu veröffentlichen sind bzw. ob die bereits von der Börse London gemachte Anzeige bezüglich des Aktienpakets hinreichend als Information für eine Rückführung ist.
So long!
So long!
Hallo,
habe wieder ein Schreiben bezüglich Kapitalmaßnahme von meiner Bank bekommen.
Darin steht, daß Tiger das Angebot zurückgezogen hat...
Allerdings war es in den vorherigen Schreiben so, daß wenn ich das Übernahmeangebot nicht annehmen wollte, ich nichts zu tun brauchte.
Heute ist es aber so, daß ich schriftlich widersprechen muß, wenn meine Aktien nicht an Florissant gehen sollen.
Da steht in einem Absatz "werden wir aus einer früheren Anweisung die Aktien zu 14 GBP...."
Ich habe niemals eine Anweisung gegeben ?! Machen die da krumme Sachen ??? Ist es bei euch auch so ???
Gruß
Jürgen

Hi sandlerkoenig!
Da steht doch "...werden wir aus einer f r ü h e r e n Anweisung, wenn Du denn eine gemacht hast, hast Du aber nicht, die Aktien zu 14 GBP...".
Du brauchst nicht zu handeln.
Bei mir steht: "Wichtiger Hinweis! Aufgrund der diversen Änderungen und Fristverlängerungen dieses Angebots sowie des konkurrierenden Angebotes der Tiger Ac. (nunmehr zurückgezogen) betrachten wir alle uns bisher erteilten Aufträge als gegenstandslos."
Denen geht das auch schon auf die Nerven.

Da sind gestern Abend noch 240000 Aktien in London über den Tisch gegangen. Neuerdings sind solche Stückzahlen immer um 17:36 zu sehen, was hat das zu bedeuten? Kauft Florissant über Angebotspreis? Platziert QXL um diese Zeit was?
Könnte sein, dass sich die Direktoren noch eindecken: 6 x 40.000 Stück.
Am 24.03.2005 hat in Amiland sich jemand 10.610 Stück ins Depot gelegt.

DEFINITION OF ASSOCIATE
It is not practicable to define associate in terms which would cover all the
different relationships which may exist in an offer. The term associate is
intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in concert) who directly or
indirectly own or deal in the shares of an offeror or the offeree company in an
offer and who have (in addition to their normal interests as shareholders) an
interest or potential interest, whether commercial, financial or personal, in
the outcome of the offer.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the term associate will
normally include the following:-
(1) an offeror`s or the offeree company`s parent, subsidiaries and fellow
subsidiaries, and their associated companies, and companies of which such
companies are associated companies (for this purpose ownership or control of 20%
or more of the equity share capital of a company is regarded as the test of
associated company status);
(2) banks and financial and other professional advisers (including stockbrokers)
* to an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1), including
persons controlling#, controlled by or under the same control as such banks,
financial and other professional advisers;
(3) the directors (together with their close relatives and related trusts) of an
offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1);
(4) the pension funds of an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered
in (1);

DEFINITION OF ASSOCIATE
It is not practicable to define associate in terms which would cover all the
different relationships which may exist in an offer. The term associate is
intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in concert) who directly or
indirectly own or deal in the shares of an offeror or the offeree company in an
offer and who have (in addition to their normal interests as shareholders) an
interest or potential interest, whether commercial, financial or personal, in
the outcome of the offer.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the term associate will
normally include the following:-
(1) an offeror`s or the offeree company`s parent, subsidiaries and fellow
subsidiaries, and their associated companies, and companies of which such
companies are associated companies (for this purpose ownership or control of 20%
or more of the equity share capital of a company is regarded as the test of
associated company status);
(2) banks and financial and other professional advisers (including stockbrokers)
* to an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1), including
persons controlling#, controlled by or under the same control as such banks,
financial and other professional advisers;
(3) the directors (together with their close relatives and related trusts) of an
offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1);
(4) the pension funds of an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered
in (1);

Ist IZAKI da eingestiegen? wer kann das mal in Qintessenz übersetzen?
na, da haben wir´s verständlicher!
Vielleicht haben wir ja bald einen neuen Bieter! Florissant ist sauer!!
LONDON (AFX) - QXL Ricardo PLC announced earlier today that Izaki Group had
acquired 50,610 ordinary shares in the company at 14.06 stg each. Izaki now
holds 102,236 shares, representing 5.9 pct.
This afternoon Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant NV, which has made a
recommended increased cash offer for QXL, said it noted this purchase by Izaki.
It said it does not seek to speculate on the motivation for these purchases but
it notes that since the lapsing of the riveal offer for QXL from Tiger, no other
party has announced an interest in making an offer for QXL,
It said its 1400 pence per share recommended increased cash offer remains open
for acceptance until 1.00 pm on April 7.
It said this offer is final and will not be increased or amended unless a
competing offer is made.
Florissant currently owns approximately 28.4 pct of QXL.

Nachfolgender Artikel ist zwar nicht mehr jung, aber hier findet man, die Aussage, daß QXL zu diesem Zeitpunkt sein Aktienpaket noch nicht zurück hatte. Könntest also echt recht haben, daß es sich bei der kürzlichen Platzierung um QXL Poland Aktien gehandelt haben könnte.
Rogue lawyer `guilty` in QXL case
The internet auction site has had limited sucess in the UK
QXL Ricardo, the UK`s answer to internet auction site Ebay, has scored a victory in its bid to win back control of its "stolen" Polish arm.
A solicitor for QXL Poland signed the company over to its local managing director through the illegal issue of 92% of its shares.
Prezemyslaw Rogowski has now been found guilty on all six counts of breach of professional ethics.
The case still continues and the company has not got its shares back yet
There is no hearing date for the main civil case yet. The current case centres on the role the solicitor played in signing over the shares and it seems likely that proceedings will drag on for some time yet.
Defrauded
The Polish courts are waiting for an independent valuation of QXL Poland, which will allow prosecutors to estimate the value of the fraud.
Commenting on the ruling against Mr Rogowski, company secretary Tom Parkinson said: "In terms of the message that this sends out to the legal system and to the Polish public, it is important."
"We have spent 18 months working our way through the court system, but it`s worth too much for us to walk away."
QXL Ricardo was launched in the internet boom of the late Nineties, but was almost immediately upstaged by its US rival Ebay.
However, it has survived by gaining footholds in local niche markets in places like Denmark and Norway.
Switzerland is QXL`s biggest market where it is level pegging with Ebay.

Ja, eben. Auf dieses kleine Aktienpaket kann ich mir sonst keinen Reim machen. Man bringt ja nur mehr Aktien an den Markt, wenn man Geld zum Überleben, Expandieren o.ä. braucht. Ausserdem würden die Transaktionskosten in keinem Verhältnis zu der geringen Aktienanzahl, respektive der geringen GEldeinnahme stehen. Von daher ist dies für mich die einzig sinnvolle Interpretation.
Bis später!

heute guter Schlußkurs mit 20.000 Stück in London Wer heimst da nur ein?
meine herren,
kann mal bitte jemand ein kursziel abgeben, welches bis zum sommer erreicht werden könnte?
kann mal bitte jemand ein kursziel abgeben, welches bis zum sommer erreicht werden könnte?
Also, ich sehe da zwei Szenarien:
1. Nach Bekanntgabe der Rückführung der wesentlichen Werte Allegros(davon gehe ich aus, da man an einer widerrechtlich erworbenen Sache kein Eigentum begründen kann) sehe ich eine Kursentwicklung von 50-200 Euro, dann Aktiensplit, damit die Aktie optisch nicht so teuer erscheint und Aktionäre weiter anlockt.
2. Könnte QXL als Übernahmekandidat für eBay, Microsoft, Yahoo oder was weiss ich für wen äusserst attraktiv sein, da QXL die Tür für den osteuropäischen Markt (Polen, Ungarn, Tschechien, Slowenien, Russland etc.) bezüglich Sprachbarriere schon aufgestoßen hat.
Darüber hinaus müssen wir das künftige Potential dieser Länder berücksichtigen: Hier fallen zwei Ären zeitlich zusammen. Zum einen unsere Entwicklungszeit nach dem Krieg und zum anderen der Umbruch von einer Industrienation zur Informationsgesellschaft (Internethype bei uns Ende der 90er). Also wird hier wohl ein Turbokapitalismus entstehen, wenn die europäischen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen gegeben sind, Bestand haben und somit vertrauenswürdig sind.
Als Prämisse für den Beitritt Polens zur EU galt die Anpassung des polnischen Rechtssystems an EU-Richtlinien. Hier galt das deutsche Rechtssystem als Vorlage, da es das jüngste ist und somit den aktuellen Erfordernissen am ehesten entspricht.
Schaut man sich die vergangenen Übernahmen eBays an, so zeigt sich, dass eBay durchweg das 8-15 Fache des Jahresumsatzes einer Firma gezahlt hat. Legt man die Umsatzzahlen von Allegro 2003 alleine zugrunde (ca. 80-90 Mio Euro, kann sich jeder selbst ausrechnen, was eBay auf den Tisch legen müßte) dann ist das schon eine nette HAusnummer. Das könnte eBay übrigens aus der Portokasse zahlen.
Es bleibt also weiterhin spannend!

ach, bellamy, das lese ich so gerne und die 200 € gefallen mir immer noch nicht so richtig!! London 16:16 1575 GBp und damit neuer Höchstkurs in diesem Jahr!!
also ich lese 200€ sehr sehr gern............
Ich frage mich, warum in London in letzter Zeit immer zum Feierabend solche großen Aktienpakete gehandelt werden?!!
Da sind gestern Abend zum Schluß noch 100.000 Stück übern Tisch gegeangen. So langsam müßten die Papiere ja mal richtig knapp werden!
In GB wurden heute über 211.000 Stück gehandelt.
heute in einer Woche oder am 11.04.2005 sind wir schlauer!!
Was ich mich eigentlich frage ist, warum Florissant bockig bei 14 GBP stehen bleibt, obwohl die doch merken müßten, daß wir fast bei 16 GBP am Markt liegen! 1588 GBp war heute Spitze in London! Kaufen die heimlich am Markt, weil sich dieser eh wieder über ein neues Angebot legen würde?
Sind das alles unterschiedliche Aktien?

Vermute mal, dass Florissant das Geld ausgegangen ist, um einerseits mehr zu bieten und andererseits wieder eine neue Offerte zu starten. TAC hat gesagt, dass die Übernahmeangebote, die sie unternommen haben, 450.000 Euro oder $ (weiss nicht mehr genau in welcher Währung)im letzten Jahr, also allein im November/ Dezember gekostet habe. Wenn jedes neue Angebot auch nur einen Bruchteil dieser Summe ausmacht, und man das nicht mal eben so locker bezahlen kann, könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass die Bank mal sagt: nee, geht nicht, dass könnt Ihr nicht mehr stemmen.
In dem letzten Schreiben meiner Bank steht: "Aufgrund der diversen Änderungen und Fristverlängerungen dieses Angebots sowie des konkurrierenden Angebots der TAC (nunmehr zurückgezogen) betrachten wir a l l e u n s
b i s h e r e r t e i l t e n A u f t r ä g e a l s
g e g e n s t a n d s l o s."
Für mich hört sich das so an, als ob die Bank den Aktionären, die das Angebot bereits angenommen haben, ihre Aktien wieder zurückgeben.

260686 ist die aktuelle WPKN.
529422 bzw. 262473 könnten die ADRs in den Staaten sein, wobei deren WPKNs glaube ich eher 7stellig sind - weiß ich aber nicht so genau.
578885 ist die WPKN, die QXL am geregelten Markt in D hatte, bevor sie ein Delisting beantragte.
928328 ist die WPKN vor dem Kapitalschnitt im April 2003.
In USA hat gestern jemand 30.000 Papiere zu 29,95$ also +10,93% gekauft.
So long!

Muss mich korrigieren: eBay kann das doch nicht aus der Portokasse zahlen.

Ich denke eher, daß die versuchen, sich die Aktien so billig wie möglich in die Taschen zu stecken, deswegen auch der Rückzieher von TAC. Die wollten doch schon 2050 GBp bezahlen, also ist Kohle da. Evtl. benötigen die die auch für die 23 % an Florissant. Es wird nach dem 07.04.2005 vielleicht ein neues Angebot geben, wenn sich der Markt nach Bekanntgabe der Rückführung von Allegro bei einer bestimmten Marke eingependelt hat. Müssen ja auch nur noch 50 % einsammeln. Wieviel sie davon bekommen, wird man ja noch sehen.

from the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan or any other jurisdiction
where it would be unlawful to do so.
PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
EMBARGOED UNTIL 7.00 AM
4 April 2005
RECOMMENDED INCREASED CASH OFFER
by
HAWKPOINT PARTNERS LIMITED
and
ISB CORPORATE FINANCE
on behalf of
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT N.V.
for
QXL RICARDO PLC
OFFER UPDATE
Further to the announcement released by Florissant on 29 March 2005, Florissant
posted a document to QXL Shareholders on 2 April 2005 setting out the full text
of the announcement, together with certain other information.
The Recommended Increased Cash Offer is conditional on valid acceptances being
received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by not later than 1.00 p.m. on 7
April 2005 (unless a competitive situation arises - see note 1) in respect of
not less than 90 per cent. (or such lower permitted percentage as Florissant may
decide) in nominal value of the QXL Shares to which the Recommended Increased
Cash Offer relates (see notes 2 and 3).
In accordance with that condition, Florissant has decided on a lower percentage
than 90 per cent. being such lower percentage of QXL Shares which, when added to
the QXL Shares which Florissant shall have otherwise acquired or agreed to
acquire, carries in aggregate not less than 75 per cent. of the voting rights
then normally exercisable at a general meeting of QXL. Florissant currently owns
approximately 28.4 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of
QXL. Florissant reserves the right to decide on a lower percentage in accordance
with that condition.
Acceptances should be despatched as soon as possible, but in any event so as to

RECOMMENDED INCREASED CASH OFFER
by
HAWKPOINT PARTNERS LIMITED
and
ISB CORPORATE FINANCE
on behalf of
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT N.V.
for
QXL RICARDO PLC
OFFER UPDATE
Further to the announcement released by Florissant on 29 March 2005, Florissant
posted a document to QXL Shareholders on 2 April 2005 setting out the full text
of the announcement, together with certain other information.
The Recommended Increased Cash Offer is conditional on valid acceptances being
received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by not later than 1.00 p.m. on 7
April 2005 (unless a competitive situation arises - see note 1) in respect of
not less than 90 per cent. (or such lower permitted percentage as Florissant may
decide) in nominal value of the QXL Shares to which the Recommended Increased
Cash Offer relates (see notes 2 and 3).
In accordance with that condition, Florissant has decided on a lower percentage
than 90 per cent. being such lower percentage of QXL Shares which, when added to
the QXL Shares which Florissant shall have otherwise acquired or agreed to
acquire, carries in aggregate not less than 75 per cent. of the voting rights
then normally exercisable at a general meeting of QXL. Florissant currently owns
approximately 28.4 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of
QXL. Florissant reserves the right to decide on a lower percentage in accordance
with that condition.
Acceptances should be despatched as soon as possible, but in any event so as to
be received not later than 1.00 p.m. on the closing date of 7 April 2005.
QXL Shareholders who have any questions about how to accept Florissant`s
Recommended Increased Cash Offer, or who require additional copies of the
Original Offer Document, the Recommended Increased Cash Offer Document, the New
Form of Acceptance or the circular dated 18 March 2005, should contact Capita
Registrars as soon as possible on 0870 162 3124 or, if calling from outside the

Was würde eigentlich passieren, wenn am Freitag Staatstrauer verhängt wird? Werden die Gerichtstermine von Freitag dann auf Montag verlegt oder gibt es einen ganz neuen Termin - Wochen oder gar Monate später?

Also bei der geringen Aktienanzahl (535) heute in Frankfurt kann ich mir auch keinen rechten Reim drauf machen. In GB wird auch massiv gedeckelt: Sobald der Kurs laufen möchte, ist wenige Minuten später wieder ein niedriger Kurs angesagt. Mir kommt das Ganze so vor wie in der Straßenbahn: Einer steht in der Lichtschranke, damit die Verspäteten noch reinspringen können. Keine Ahnung.........
@Baron
Deckelei: ganzeinfach - Kurs runterholen! Man setzt ein paar Aktien mit extrem nierdrigen Limit zum Verkauf. Der Kurs wird aus dem Spread zwischen Angebot und Nachfrage gebildet, entschieden wird das durch den Broker, der genau dieses Geschäft abwickelt. Manchmal machen auch Brokerhäuser mit Geldhäusern gemeinsame Sache-geheim natürlich! Kannste bei Kostolany nachlesen.

egal, was die machen, es soll der Ball flach gehalten werden - vielleicht sehen wir demnächst wirklich ein neues Angebot. Wenn die sagen, sie wollen nur noch 75 %, so versuchen die auch damit, eine Kursexplosion durch "reduzierte Nachfrage" zu vermeiden. Mal sehen, was da noch alles kommt. Vielleicht kaufen die alles darüber hinaus auch auf dem Markt oder sie machen Izaki ein außerbörsliches Angebot. Wer weiß?

Hallo,
heute ist doch der große Tag der Entscheidung, oder?
Kann nochmal jemand zusammen fassen was heute, bzw. in den nächsten Tagen alles passieren soll?
Also in Polen?
Wegen ricardo.de. Wieso hast du die nicht damals für 3 Euro das Stück verkauft (06/03). Ich hatte die sogar mit Gewinn verkaufen könne, obwohl ich sie teuer eingekauft hatte. Da sind die damals von 42 cent auf 3 Euro hochgeschnellt. Wieso das weiß bis heute immer noch niemand. Oder zumindestens hättest du sie im Januar 04 verkaufen können. Da sind die auch von 1,50 Euro auf fasst 3 Euro hochgeschnellt.
Wo sehr ihr heute QXL?

HEute läuft um 13.00h die Angebotsfrist von Florissant ab: Die haben uns 1400 pence geboten. Für morgen war der letzte Gerichtstermin in Polen anberaumt. Der fällt jetzt aber wegen der Beerdigung des Papstes flach, da alle öffentlichen Gebäude geschlossen bleiben - so ein Mist sag ich da nur - aber egal, die Aktie hat uns schon so viel geboten, da macht dies auch nix mehr. Fraglich ist, wann der nächste Verhandlungstag sein wird: nächste Woche oder dürfen wir noch ein paar Monate warten? Kennt sich da jemand aus in Polen?
BEi den Ricardo-Aktien habe ich leider keine Ahnung. Ich weiss nur, dass die QXL-Direktoren ca. 92% halten und 8% im Streubesitz sind. Vielleicht finde ich noch was.
So long!

Keine Ahnung, was das soll
Auf jeden Fall hat Florissant erklärt, sie wollen nunmehr 75 % des Ladens haben. Die werden also morgen abwarten oder auch Montag, danach die Kurse wieder drücken und ein neues Angebot machen. Dabei sind die knapp 20 % von TAC vermutlich eingerechnet.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7 April 2005
RECOMMENDED INCREASED CASH OFFER
by
HAWKPOINT PARTNERS LIMITED
and
ISB CORPORATE FINANCE
on behalf of
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT N.V.
for
QXL RICARDO PLC
OFFER LAPSED
On 3 March 2005, the Independent Directors of QXL and the Board of Florissant
announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended
increased cash offer of 1400 pence for each QXL Share (the `Increased Cash
Offer`).
The Board of Florissant today announces that the acceptance condition to the
Increased Cash Offer has not been satisfied and as a result the Increased Cash
Offer has lapsed and is no longer capable of acceptance.
As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 7 April 2005, valid acceptances of the Original
Offer or the Increased Cash Offer had been received in respect of 176,591 QXL
Shares. This represents approximately 10.22 per cent. of the existing issued
ordinary share capital of QXL.
Since the commencement of the Offer Period on 12 November 2004, Florissant has
acquired 490,052 QXL Shares, representing approximately 28.4 per cent. of QXL`s
existing issued ordinary share capital.
Therefore, as at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 7 April 2005 Florissant owned,
controlled or had received valid acceptances in respect of a total of 666,643
QXL Shares, representing approximately 38.6 per cent. of the existing issued
ordinary share capital of QXL.
Florissant regrets that its recommended offer for QXL has lapsed. However, it
looks forward to a continuing relationship with QXL as a major shareholder.
QXL Shareholders who have already validly accepted the Original Offer or the
Increased Cash Offer and not withdrawn their acceptance are advised that:
- in the case of Shareholders who hold their QXL Shares in certificated form
(i.e. not in CREST), their share certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of
title will be returned to them as soon as possible (and in any event within
the next 14 days) in accordance with the terms of the Increased Cash Offer;
and
- in the case of Shareholders who hold their QXL Shares in uncertificated form
(i.e. in CREST), Capita Registrars will give instructions to CRESTCo to
transfer all QXL Shares held in escrow balance, and in relation to which it
is the escrow agent for the purposes of the Original Offer and the Increased
Cash Offer, to the original balances of the QXL Shareholders concerned.
Save as disclosed above, neither Florissant nor any person acting, or deemed to
be acting, in concert with Florissant held any QXL Shares (or rights over QXL
Shares) immediately prior to the Offer Period and neither Florissant nor any
person acting, or deemed to be acting, in concert with Florissant has acquired
or agreed to acquire any QXL Shares (or rights over QXL Shares) since the
commencement of the Offer Period.
Certain terms used in this announcement are defined in the Original Offer
Document dated 20 January 2005 and the Increased Cash Offer Document dated 4
March 2005.
Hawkpoint and ISB Corporate Finance, each of which is authorised and regulated
in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, are acting
exclusively for Florissant and no one else in connection with the Increased Cash
Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than Florissant for providing
the protections afforded to their customers or for providing advice in relation
to the Increased Cash Offer or in relation to the contents of this announcement
or any transaction or arrangement referred to herein.

Aber weiter oben kündigen die an, als hauptaktionär mit QXL gut arbeiten zu wollen.
Also, was soll´s!!

also, wenn Du mich fragst, es ist ja nur ´ne Empfehlung, was die machen sollen, die ihre Aktien zurückhaben wollen. Da kriegt keiner was zurück!!!
@Zockerpetry
Natürlich bekommen die Aktionäre die Aktien automatisch von der Bank zurück, da sie alle bisher erteilten Aufträge als gegenstandslos betrachtet. Habe ich vor kurzer Zeit hier als Zitat reingestellt.

Das ist genau das, was ich mit der Rückgabe der Aktien an die Aktionäre meinte. Florissant wollte über seine diversen Angebote 75% bzw. 90% der Papiere einsammeln. Mit diesem ehrgeizigen Ziel haben sie sich selbst unter Zugzwang gesetzt, d.h. wenn sie ihr Ziel verfehlen, was ja respektive der Fall ist, müssen sie die Aktien jener Aktionäre (diesmal waren es ca. 10%), die das Angebot angenommen haben, wieder zurückgeben. Für uns ist das natürlich außerordentlich gut: alles bleibt wie es ist. Laden bleibt an der Börse, das Urteil (wenn das nicht mal schon am 18.03. gefällt wurde) wird abgewartet, die Jahreszahlen mit der Einpreisung von Allegro kommen im Mai. Wenn nicht noch irgendetwas Unvorhergesehenes passiert, sieht das Szenario sehr gut aus.
Großaktionäre sind: Deutsche BAnk, Goldman Sachs, TAC, FLorissant, Izaki-Group, Izaki in seiner Eigenschaft als Privatperson und gestern ist noch jemand eingestiegen und hält ca. 3,6 oder 3,9% (den Artikel stelle ich gleich rein). Habe ich jemanden vergessen?

Goldman Sachs ist ausgestiegen! Mitteilung hierzu weiter vorn.
Damals hatte TAC ein Angebot zurückgezogen! Daher mußte TAC die Aktien auch zurückgeben. Florissant hat zwar sein Ziel nicht erreicht, aber das daraus die Rückgabe resultiert, sehe ich nicht. Mal schauen, ob jemand demnächst über ne Rückgabe berichtet!
Woher hattest Du das denn mit dem Urteil am 08.04.? wegen QXL Poland?

LONDON (AFX) - Beleggingsmaatschappij FlorissantNV said its 1400 pence per share
recommended offer for QXL Ricardo has failed due to a low take-up of its offer.
By the offer deadline of 1.00 pm today, Florissant owns, controls or has
received valid acceptances in respect of a total of 666,643 QXL shares,
representing approximately 38.6 pct of the company. Florissant owns a 28.4 stke
outright.
Florissant said the acceptance condition to its increased cash offer has not
been satisfied and as a result the offer has lapsed and is no longer capable of
acceptance.
It added that it "regrets that its recommended offer for QXL has lapsed.
However, it looks forward to a continuing relationship with QXL as a major
shareholder."
In response, QXL said it looks forward to working constructively with its two
new major shareholder groups, Florissant and the Izaki Group, which bought a 5.9
pct stake in the company on March 29.
QXL said its strategy remains focused on the recovery of shareholder value in
Poland and the capitalisation on its "leading market position in a number of
other territories."
It added that it expects its full-year results, due May, to show continued
progress in line with management expectations.

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Failed bid target QXL Ricardo has agreed the sale of its Swedish subsidiary QXL Sweden to Finja.
QXL said it would receive an initial sum of £0.3m for the Swedish arm, which has net liabilities of about £90,000 as well as significant tax losses, with additional payment of up to £0.52m deferred until or before 1 July 2008
The sale comes after the online auction house revealed yesterday that a recommended £14 cash bid from Dutch firm Florissant had lapsed after just 10.2% of other shareholders took up the offer
Florissant paid £6.9m for a 28.4% holding last month taking its total stake, including acceptances, to just under 40%, well below the 75% it needed for its offer to become unconditional.
QXL said in a statement yesterday that it “looks forward to working constructively with its two new major shareholder groups, Florissant and the Izaki Group”.
Izaki, a consortium of Israeli investors, have been rapidly buying up shares in the last few weeks to take its stake to about 21%. The firm bought shares at as much as £16, leading QXL investors to question whether the Florissant stake had undervalued the business.
QXL Ricardo was first put out to auction last year when its management tried to engineer a buyout at just 700p per share, which led to a bidding war for the group between Florissant and the MBO firm Tiger.
The Dutch firm was thought to have killed off all competition once it raised its offer to £14, though the future of QXL and whose hands it will remain in now seems as uncertain as ever.
In an attempt to put the last six months of uncertainty behind it yesterday QXL said its fourth quarter and full-year results should be in line with management expectations.

Geiler geht´s nimmer! Die wissen doch immer, wo was zu holen ist und wollen noch mehr QXL kaufen. Wünsch Euch allen fette Beute!
Adi Steimatsky snaps up slice of QXL
By Efrat Neuman
The latest reincarnation of the British internet auction site QXL is starting to resemble a racy South American soap opera. It has everything you could imagine: passion, a fight for control, legal battles, a failed takeover bid, a gang of colorful Israelis buying up shares and, most important, a lot of money changing hands.
It seems like the whole show is being directed by a math professor from Tel Aviv who specializes in game theory and reverse auctions - and that he is trying to put his theories to practice in real life.
The latest development in the saga is connected to the controlling owner of Israel`s largest chain of bookstores, Adi Steimatsky.
Advertisement
Steimatsky recently acquired a million dollars worth of QXL shares, and now holds 2.9 percent of the company. Another group of Israelis preceded him, buying $10 million in QXL shares, about 21 percent of the firm. The group of Israeli investors includes Shimon Weintraub, Ronny Yitzhaki and Prof. Yair Tauman.
QXL is currently trading in London at a company value of $52 million. The company came to the attention of the Israeli public eight years ago when Shlomo Kalish`s Jerusalem Global Ventures invested in the company at a very early stage. It has since sold off its holdings.
QXL issued stock in London and at the height of the bubble traded at a market capitalization of $2 billion. Its present $52 million value still reflects a 200 percent rise from last year. It was founded in 1997 and floated in 1999. Touted as Europe`s answer to eBay, it failed to achieve significant revenue, posting a mere $8.5 million for 2004. In the last five years, QXL has lost more than $400 million, but last year it managed to scale back its losses to just $12 million.
At the beginning of April, Tauman and his group held only 7.5 percent of QXL, but they have added significantly to that amount in the past few weeks. What probably attracted the investors` roving eyes is its current low market capitalization combined with the explosion of Internet business. Tauman has said in the past that the Israelis are not an official group and have no signed agreement between them, but that they saw an intriguing business opportunity and believe QXL is substantially undervalued. It seems that they are continuing to purchase shares. Another Israeli, Amos Mandes, who runs a fertility center in Chicago, holds 1.2 percent of QXL.
According to Tauman, Mendes` and Steimatsky`s purchases have not been coordinated with him or his partners. "A number of Israelis have approached us who are also interested in investing in QXL, and Steimatsky was not one of them," said Tauman.
The Israelis are not the only ones interested in QXL. At the same time that the Israelis were collecting their shares, a major battle for control of the company took place, ending only last week.
For months, Florissant of the Netherlands had been dueling with Tiger Acquisition, financed by Great Hill Equity Partners, to buy the controlling interest in QXL. In the end the parties teamed up in a buyout offer lead by Florissant, which holds 28 percent of QXL. But the bid failed with only 10 percent of shareholders responding to the offer. The reason for the failure was simple: Florissant offered $14 a share at a time when the market price reached $16.
The stock has risen 17 percent in the last four weeks, up 80 percent since the beginning of 2005.
Tauman said that they are looking to increase their holdings to 30 percent now that the takeover bid has failed. This would give his group control of management and the firm.

nocheinmal die Frage warum steigt QXL RICARODO UM FAST 1000% und steht nun bei 28€ und Ricardo stehen immer noch auf 1,56€???
Sind ja 2 Unterschiedliche Firmen. Bloß das die eine die andere aufgekauft hat. Jetzt steigt erstmal der Wert von QXL, wieso sollte der WErt von ricardo.de steigen?
Wenn ein Auto auf Grund seiner Beschaffenheit im Preis um 10% steigt, wieso sollte das eingebaute Autoradio im Preis auch steigen?
Das bekommt man eh dazu und wenn es man nicht will, bekommt man maximal Preisnachlass in Höhe des Preises was es Wert ist.
Und genauso ist es bei QXL und ricardo.de.

@Bauernpizza eigentlich ist der ricardo.de unter bewertet, weil ricardo.ch sehr gutes Wachstum hat, und mit ein KGV von unter 10 ist sehr günstig. Aber qxl könnte ricardo.ch wieder zurück kaufen um ricardo.de dicht zu machen (weil er damit Geld spart )aber in mai kommt die Jahresbilanz, und vielleicht steigen die auch.. so denke ich zu mindest, oder weißt jemand etwas besser
?????
Man, die deckeln in London ohne Ende!! Wollen billig einsammeln. Abends krachts dann wieder nach oben, oder?
Hallo,
das wird so enden wie in Deutschland. Der größte Anbieter wird noch größer und die kleinen immer kleiner. Wie bei ebay <-> ricardo.de oder ebay <-> atrada und und und. Also kann es mit qxl nur noch bergauf gehen, vorrausgesetzt die bekommen ihre Seite wieder.
Wann ist denn nun der Gerichtstermin?

möglicherweise hat ein Kunde der DB Kasse gemacht und einen Verkaufsauftrag erteilt!
Geduld, auch wenn´s z.Z. etwas bergab geht. Die drücken die Kurse, um billig einzukaufen.
Ich bin gespannt auf die Zahlen im Mai, vermutlich kommen die am 10.05.2005! Möglicherweise ist Polen da schon integriert. Hoffen wir´s.

Da will keiner mehr Aktien verkaufen!! Bei den geringen Umsätzen drücken sich die Kurse natürlich leicht!!
scheinbar will auch keiner kaufen, sonst würde es ja nach oben gehen.
@Zockerpetry
Ich vermute eher, dass die DB keine Aktien bekommen hat. Sie hat zwar versucht ein Paket von ca. 100.000 Stück zu erwerben, hat es aber nicht realisieren können. Vergleicht man die RNS-Nachrichten IZAKI und DB miteinander, so fällt auf, dass nach der "notifiable Interest-Meldung" kein Disclosure kam, wie das bei ISAKI der Fall war, wo dezidiert die Stückzahlen der einzelnen Personen aufgeführt waren. Umkehrschluss: DB hält gar keine Aktien an QXL.
Was meinst Du zu dieser Überlegung?

@bellamy
da die Änderungen je kleiner als 1 % sind, scheint das nichts zur Sache zu tun mit der DB, ich denke die halten jetzt knapp 6 %.
@easytech
Du irrst gewaltig! Izaki versucht, am freien Markt noch etwa 160.000 Aktien zu erlangen. Deswegen doch die Kursdrückerei!! Die wollen nix dafür betahlen. Strategie: Kurs mit wenigen Aktien drücken, dann Kauf von vielen Aktien etwas höher einstellen. Die sind doch nicht doof!! Izaki hat angekündigt, 30 % an QXL erwerben zu wollen, 21,1 % hatten die aber erst! Wenn die die Dinger im Sack haben, die Zahlen im Mai kommen und Polen bis dahin wieder eingegliedert ist, wird der Kurs ohne Ende steigen. Und denk dran, verkaufen, wenn die "SUN" die Engländer bzgl. QXL an die Börse treibt!
da die Änderungen je kleiner als 1 % sind, scheint das nichts zur Sache zu tun mit der DB, ich denke die halten jetzt knapp 6 %.
@easytech
Du irrst gewaltig! Izaki versucht, am freien Markt noch etwa 160.000 Aktien zu erlangen. Deswegen doch die Kursdrückerei!! Die wollen nix dafür betahlen. Strategie: Kurs mit wenigen Aktien drücken, dann Kauf von vielen Aktien etwas höher einstellen. Die sind doch nicht doof!! Izaki hat angekündigt, 30 % an QXL erwerben zu wollen, 21,1 % hatten die aber erst! Wenn die die Dinger im Sack haben, die Zahlen im Mai kommen und Polen bis dahin wieder eingegliedert ist, wird der Kurs ohne Ende steigen. Und denk dran, verkaufen, wenn die "SUN" die Engländer bzgl. QXL an die Börse treibt!
ebay.pl ist bisher der Lacher.
Ich habe AMD und mal E600 eingegeben und da kamen jeweils 9 bzw. 1 Angebot.
Das heißt die Deppen bei ebay haben den weltweiten Handel vergessen bei ebay.pl zu integrieren. Das heißt wenn jemadn bei ebay weltweiten Handel zulässt, kann er seine Angebote überall auf der Welt (China, USA, BRD) lesen bloß in Polen nicht.
Wenn die das so weiter betreiben wird das nix und QXL bleibt die Numemr EINS - wie in der SCHWEIZ.
P.S.: Und langsam ist die Seite auch noch und das bei den paar Artikeln.

OFFERS BY
TIGER ACQUISITION CORPORATION PLC (`TIGER)
AND
BELEGGINGSMAATSCHAPPIJ FLORISSANT N.V. (`FLORISSANT`)
FOR
QXL RICARDO PLC (`QXL`)
Introduction
This is a statement of criticism of Teather & Greenwood Limited (`Teather &
Greenwood`) which committed a number of breaches of the Code while acting as
broker to Florissant in the context of the recommended cash offer by Florissant
for QXL.
Background
In late 2004 and early 2005, QXL was the subject of competing offers by Tiger
and Florissant. On 26 November 2004, Tiger announced a recommended cash offer
for QXL of 700p per share. Following the receipt of a number of proposals from
parties interested in acquiring all or part of the business of QXL, the
independent directors subsequently withdrew their recommendation of this offer
and, on 14 January 2005, Florissant announced a unilateral cash offer of 800p
per share. On 14 February, Tiger announced an increased recommended offer of
1000p per share in cash plus one litigation entitlement unit. Florissant
responded on 3 March by announcing an increased recommended cash offer of 1400p
per share.
On 4 March, the Executive announced rules relating to a controlled auction
procedure to resolve the competitive situation. Following the announcement by
Tiger of minor revisions to the litigation entitlement units on the first two
days of the auction, Florissant announced, on 10 March, the final day of the
auction, that it would not be revising its offer of 1400p per QXL share. This
was on account of the fact that Great Hill Equity Partners II LLC (`Great Hill
`), the principal funder of Tiger, had taken an option to acquire a minority
equity interest in Florissant, conditional on Florissant`s offer becoming or
being declared unconditional in all respects. Accordingly, Great Hill announced
that it intended to lapse Tiger`s offer at its next closing date.
Florissant was initially advised only by Hawkpoint Partners Limited (`Hawkpoint
`) and ISB Corporate Finance (ISB`). However, on 4 February, Teather &
Greenwood was approached to act as broker to Florissant and a draft engagement
letter was sent to Florissant on 9 February. Although this letter was not
signed by Florissant until 18 February, Teather & Greenwood was named as broker
to Florissant in an announcement released by Florissant on 11 February under
Rule 17.1 of the Code detailing its level of acceptances as at its first closing
date. However, it was not until 18 March that the Executive was contacted by
Teather & Greenwood and notified that it was acting for Florissant.
On 11 March, the day following the conclusion of the auction procedure, Teather
& Greenwood was instructed by Florissant to buy up to 306,000 QXL shares at
1400p per share (being the price of the Florissant offer). Teather & Greenwood
satisfied this order through its market-maker acquiring stock from the order
book, from market counterparties and from clients of Teather & Greenwood. On 14
March, Teather & Greenwood received an order to buy a further 154,000 QXL shares
for Florissant. However, on this occasion, Teather & Greenwood was unable to
fulfil the order from the sources referred to above and so its market-maker went
short the balance (leaving the market-maker with a short position of 20,183 QXL
shares). On 16 March, Florissant submitted an order to buy a further 48,000
shares. Again, Teather & Greenwood was unable to fulfil the order and again its
market-maker went short the balance. This resulted in the market-maker`s short
position increasing to 35,582 QXL shares. Each of these purchases of QXL shares
by Florissant was disclosed by Teather & Greenwood on behalf of Florissant under
Rule 8.1(a).
The short position of 35,582 shares in favour of Florissant at 1400p per QXL
share was `naked` as Teather & Greenwood had not borrowed stock to deliver to
Florissant. However, Teather & Greenwood was not unduly concerned at this since
it believed that, following the conclusion of the auction, the Florissant offer
was likely to succeed. Accordingly, Teather & Greenwood believed that it would
be able to fill this short position by purchasing QXL shares in the market at or
below 1400p per share. However, on 21 March, prior to Teather & Greenwood
having filled its short position, the QXL share price rose to above this level
(where it has remained ever since) on account of, inter alia, the Izaki Group
purchasing shares in the market at above Florissant`s offer price. As a result,
Teather & Greenwood was exposed to the risk of having to fill its short position
at above 1400p per QXL share. This would not only result in a cost to Teather &
Greenwood, but would also mean that certain shareholders in QXL would be taken
out of the market at above the offer price indirectly by Florissant.
In the light of this concern, and in view of the fact that, under Note 5 on Rule
10, Florissant would not be able to count the shares which it had been sold
short and for which it should have not yet received valid title towards its
acceptance condition, on 23 March, the Executive agreed that Florissant should
publish an amended disclosure under Rule 8.1(a). This disclosed that Florissant
had been unable to obtain satisfactory title to 17,948 of the QXL shares
purchased (being Teather & Greenwood`s outstanding short position of 11,948
shares and the 6,000 shares which Teather & Greenwood had acquired above 1400p
per share - see further below) and that Florissant`s resultant total holding was
in fact 490,052 shares, being 28.83% of QXL`s issued share capital, and not
508,000 shares as previously disclosed. This effectively unwound the
acquisition by Florissant of the shares which it had been sold short to the
extent that Teather & Greenwood had not subsequently been able to fill the short
position at or below 1400p per share. As a result, the Executive was, in all
the circumstances, satisfied that none of the shares acquired by Florissant
could be said to have been acquired at above its offer price.
On 7 April, the final date by which, under the auction procedure, Florissant`s
offer could become or be declared unconditional as to acceptances, Florissant
announced that it had received acceptances in respect of 10.2% of the issued
share capital of QXL and that, accordingly, its offer had lapsed.
Issues arising under the Code
Introduction
Under presumption (5) of the definition of acting in concert, a financial
adviser or stockbroker is presumed to be acting in concert with its client in
respect of the shareholdings of the adviser or broker and persons controlling,
controlled by or under the same control as the adviser or broker (except in the
capacity of an exempt market-maker). If a market-maker has been granted exempt
status by the Panel (because the Panel is satisfied as to its independence from
the group`s corporate finance or broking operations), then dealings by it will
not be subject to the normal presumption of concertedness. However, as a
condition of being granted exempt status by the Panel (and to the relaxation of
the normal presumption of concertedness), exempt market-makers are required to
comply with Rule 38 of the Code.
Teather & Greenwood`s market-making operations were granted exempt status by the
Executive on 15 November 2002.
Breach of Rule 38.2 by Teather & Greenwood
Rule 38.2 provided as follows(1):
`38.2 DEALINGS BETWEEN OFFERORS AND CONNECTED EXEMPT MARKET-MAKERS
An offeror and any person acting in concert with it must not deal as principal
with an exempt market-maker connected with the offeror in relevant securities
(as defined in Rule 8) of the offeree company during the offer period. It will
generally be for the advisers to the offeror to ensure compliance with this Rule
rather than the market-maker.`
The purpose of Rule 38.2 is to ensure that there is no risk of an exempt
market-maker connected with an offeror abusing its exempt status by, for
example, purchasing shares at above the offer price for delivery to the offeror
in exchange for an enhanced corporate finance or broking fee. The safeguards
provided by Rule 38.2, Rule 38.3 (which prohibits an exempt market-maker
connected with an offeror from assenting shares to the offer until the offer is
unconditional as to acceptances) and Rule 38.4 (which prohibits an exempt
market-maker connected with an offeror or the offeree company from voting
securities in the context of an offer) are fundamental to the Panel`s
willingness to grant market-makers exempt status.
In this case, Teather & Greenwood not only breached Rule 38.2 by purchasing
shares from the market to sell to Florissant (i.e. the offeror with which it was
connected) but it compounded that breach by selling QXL shares short to
Florissant. As a result, and as explained above, Teather & Greenwood was
exposed to the risk of having to fill its short position at above the Florissant
offer price and, on two occasions, did so - on each of 21 March and 22 March,
Teather & Greenwood purchased a tranche of 3,000 QXL shares from clients of the
firm at 1420p per share and 1430p per share respectively. Indeed, but for the
Executive agreeing to the amended disclosure under Rule 8.1(a) as set out above,
the entirety of Teather & Greenwood`s outstanding short position as at 23 March
of 11,948 QXL shares would also have been filled at above 1400p per share.
The Executive has investigated this breach of Rule 38.2 and has received
confirmation from Teather & Greenwood that there were not, nor are there, any
agreements, arrangements or understandings in place between it and Florissant
under which it was to be compensated by Florissant for any loss it might suffer
in purchasing QXL shares for Florissant. However, although the Executive does
not believe that Teather & Greenwood deliberately flouted the Rule, it is clear
from the Executive`s investigations that Teather & Greenwood did not consider
the requirements of Rule 38.2 or how to comply with them.
Dealing through an anonymous trading system
On each of 11, 14 and 16 March, Teather & Greenwood purchased QXL shares on
behalf of Florissant from the SETS order book. As was made clear in Panel
Statement 1997/11 and in paragraph 3 of each of PCP 2004/3 and RS 2004/3, and as
has been codified with effect from today, the Panel does not consider it
appropriate for an offeror or any person acting in concert with it to purchase
shares in an offeree company through an anonymous order book system unless it
can be established that the vendor is not an exempt market-maker connected with
the offeror. This is in order to ensure compliance with Rules 38.1 (which, inter
alia, prohibits an exempt market-maker connected with an offeror from carrying
out dealings with the purpose of assisting the offeror) and 38.2 and underlines
the importance which the Panel attaches to those Rules. This point was also
specifically drawn to Teather & Greenwood`s attention in a letter from the
Executive dated 15 November 2002 confirming the grant of exempt status to its
market-making operations. However, the Executive`s investigations also revealed
that Teather & Greenwood did not consider how to comply with this requirement.
Failure by Teather & Greenwood to make timely disclosures under Rule 38.5
Teather & Greenwood acknowledges that in practice it started acting as broker to
Florissant on 9 February, being the date on which it sent a draft engagement
letter to Florissant. Given that Florissant was at that time an announced
offeror for QXL, and given that Teather & Greenwood`s exempt market-maker was
continuing to deal in QXL shares, disclosures of such dealings should have been
made with immediate effect under Rule 38.5. However, it was not until 18 March,
when Teather & Greenwood notified the Executive that it was acting for
Florissant, that Teather & Greenwood started to disclose its market-making
dealings under Rule 38.5 whereupon, at the request of the Executive, Teather &
Greenwood also made appropriate disclosures dating back to 11 February. The
requirement to make timely disclosures under Rule 38.5 is clearly important in
order to ensure that there is transparency as to the operations of a connected
exempt market-maker.
Conclusion
The failure by Teather & Greenwood to comply with Rule 38 as explained above
constituted serious breaches of the Code. Teather & Greenwood is criticised for
these breaches. As broker to Florissant, Teather & Greenwood was responsible
for compliance with Rule 38 in this case and the Executive attaches no blame to
either Hawkpoint or ISB.

Broker in QXL takeover rebuked
Jill Treanor
Tuesday April 26, 2005
The Guardian
The Takeover Panel yesterday took the unusual step of rebuking stockbroker Teather & Greenwood because of its conduct in the takeover battle for internet auction site QXL.
The panel, which polices takeover bids, rarely makes public statements about breaches of its codes and does not have the power to levy fines. Yesterday the panel issued a "statement of criticism" to Teather & Greenwood as a result of its actions while it was broker to Dutch company Florissant during its offer for QXL. The offer lapsed this month when there were not enough acceptances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Florissant had been fighting for control of QXL with Tiger Acquisition, a management buyout team that raised its own offer three times before this too lapsed in March.
Teather & Greenwood, which was taken over by Iceland`s Landsbanki in February, was found to have made "serious breaches of the code" after it was slow to disclose its involvement in the QXL takeover.
The broker began acting for Florissant in February but did not notify the panel until March 18. This is important because Teather & Greenwood is an "exempt market maker" which means it must not deal as principal for any bidder for a company during an offer period.
When it started to work with Florissant, it broke City rules that prevent it from dealing on behalf of its clients. The panel said Teather & Greenwood breached this rule by buying QXL shares to sell to Florissant and then compounded the situation by selling shares it did not own - that is by selling short - to Florissant.
"Teather & Greenwood was exposed to the risk of having to fill its short position at above the Florissant offer price and, on two occasions, did so," the panel said.
The panel said it had been assured that there were no such agreements in place under which Florissant might compensate Teather & Greenwood for any loss it might incur. While the panel said it did not believe Teather & Greenwood had "deliberately flouted the rule" it had not thought about how to comply with it.
Teather & Greenwood refused to disclose if anyone had been reprimanded for the affair but said it had "reviewed and improved its procedures since".

Yesterday the panel issued a "statement of criticism" to Teather & Greenwood as a result of its actions while it was broker to Dutch company Florissant during its offer for QXL. The offer lapsed this month when there were not enough acceptances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Florissant had been fighting for control of QXL with Tiger Acquisition, a management buyout team that raised its own offer three times before this too lapsed in March.
Teather & Greenwood, which was taken over by Iceland`s Landsbanki in February, was found to have made "serious breaches of the code" after it was slow to disclose its involvement in the QXL takeover.
The broker began acting for Florissant in February but did not notify the panel until March 18. This is important because Teather & Greenwood is an "exempt market maker" which means it must not deal as principal for any bidder for a company during an offer period.
When it started to work with Florissant, it broke City rules that prevent it from dealing on behalf of its clients. The panel said Teather & Greenwood breached this rule by buying QXL shares to sell to Florissant and then compounded the situation by selling shares it did not own - that is by selling short - to Florissant.
"Teather & Greenwood was exposed to the risk of having to fill its short position at above the Florissant offer price and, on two occasions, did so," the panel said.
The panel said it had been assured that there were no such agreements in place under which Florissant might compensate Teather & Greenwood for any loss it might incur. While the panel said it did not believe Teather & Greenwood had "deliberately flouted the rule" it had not thought about how to comply with it.
Teather & Greenwood refused to disclose if anyone had been reprimanded for the affair but said it had "reviewed and improved its procedures since".
sind auswirkungen abzusehen?

London Dome Quotes heute morgen 8:02 wieder 2.000,00 GBp. Drücken das Ding nachher wieder mit einer Aktie auf unter 1.700,00 GBp - wetten!?
...und recht gehabt!
Die Umsätze werden vor allem vormittags immer knapper. Eigentlich müßte es bald ne Kursexplosion geben! Was meint Ihr?

Verdammt! Die Aktie wie festgenagelt seit Tagen!
Verliere langsam die Geduld!
Will mal wieder Bewegung im Dep haben!
Für 1 QXL würde man ja jetzt fast 2 T-Aktien kriegen
Lohnenswerter Tausch??

Ich denke, die Aktie würde schon erheblich höher stehen, wenn die nicht immer wieder runtergezogen würde. Vermutlich hat ein Brokerhaus den Auftrag, schlechte Kurse zu machen, damit sich die Herren aus Israel noch die fehlenden 6-7 % in die Tasche stecken können. Ist das Ziel erreicht, dann geht es aufwärts. Die Zahlen von ebay sollen ja toll gewesen sein. Mal sehen, was QXL am 10.05.2005 meldet (wenn es bei dem traditionellen Termin bleibt - 2. Dienstag, zweite Woche, zweiter Monat des Folgequartals), vielleicht gibt es dann auch kein Halten mehr.
Hat jemand was über QXL Polen gehört und wann denn nun Urteilsverkündung ist?

Ein Bekannter hat beim Gericht in Posen angerufen: Demnach werden die Beteiligten per Post benachrichtigt. Worüber die jetzt postalisch informiert werden, konnte nicht in Erfahrung gebracht werden; der Gesprächsteilnehmer war sehr kurz angebunden. Diese Info bringt mich allerdings auch nicht weiter.

Heute wird anscheinend in GB nicht gehandelt. Da könnte man selbst mal in Dtl. die Aktien mit kleinen Stücken hoch-pushen.
Dann würden wir schnell mal die 30 sehen.

Hab mich auch gewundert, daß in London heute nicht gehandelt wird!! Feiertag: Fehlanzeige! Erst am 05.05.05 ist wieder einer wie bei uns.
@zinn123
Pushen macht keinen Sinn. Die Kurse werden in London gemacht, Frankfurt ist immer nur das ungefähre Abbild Londons. Siehst ja, daß die Kurse selbst heute in Frankfurt flach gehalten werden. Im Brief stehen die in Frankfurt schon bei über 30 € und in London bei 2000 GBp!
@Baron
Ja, seid Ihr verrückt, 50 € ist doch nen Witz für das Papier. Soweit ich weiß, kommen die Zahlen am 10.05.2005. Solange die Israelis nicht ihre 30 % im Sack haben, werden die die Kurse drücken ohne Ende. Ich hab mal in 2001 angefangen, QXL zu kaufen. Da hat mich ein Papier der jetzigen Stückelung 700 € gekostet! Gekommen sind die von 13000 €!! Fallen die Zahlen gut aus, kann es durchaus sein, daß wir schnell etwa 200 € sehen. Kurse werden durch Gier und Angst gemacht. Bei www.finanznachrichten.de/ sind die letzten Nachrichten von QXL alle gelöscht. Warum? Keine Ahnung.
Im Artikel über Adi Steimatzky (der ist jetzt weg) war zu lesen, daß die Israelis den Laden auf Grund der Entwicklung für komplett unterbewertet halten. Die werden dann schon für den Kurspush sorgen, wenn das Depot voll ist. Ich schätze, denen fehlen noch ca. 100.000 Stück. Das sacken die diese Woche ein! Außerdem haben noch andere Israelis gekauft. Da war doch was mit einem aus Chicago mit 1,6 % usw.
Also, cool bleiben und halten! Ich will die 700 € wiedersehen, auch, wenn ich bei 31 € Plus-Minus-Null bin!

Meiner Meinung nach, werden die Zahlen keine Explosion auslösen. Worauf alle warten, ist doch diese dusselige Rückführung von Polen. Erst dann geht die Rakete ab. Allegro hat in 2004 etwa 200.000.000 Euro Umsatz gemacht und das bei einer Aktienanzahl von ca. 1,84 Mio (QXL gesamt). Das ist doch ein super nettes Verhältnis!!
Schaut man sich ebays Start in Polen an, so mutet die PR äusserst suspekt an. Die suchen seit 5 Jahren (!!!) einen geeigneten Chef in Polen; zwischenzeitlich haben sie sich mit einer Interimslösung (Marketing-Manager) begnügt. Als Kontaktadresse geben die doch tatsächlich Bern, Schweiz an. Umkehrschluss: die haben noch kein offizielles Büro in Polen. Zumindest habe ich keine polnische Kontaktadresse finden können. Welcher Pole müht sich wohl ab, auf deutsch, französisch oder italienisch zu reklamieren? Von daher werden die meisten wohl bei Allegro bleiben. Eigentlich passt so ein unprofessioneller Start gar nicht zu ebay...

Wie wir wissen, hat QXL vor ein paar Wochen ca. 130.000 Stück Aktien angemeldet. Bellamy war der Meinung (und ich kann das nachvollziehen), daß diese Papiere die polnische Niederlassung sein müßten. Also sind die kommenden Quartalszahlen vielleicht der Vorgriff auf das bevorstehende Urteil, denn wenn diese Papiere angemeldet sind, dann müssen die auch die Zahlen in den Quartalsbericht integrieren!(Oder sehe ich das falsch). Bisher war QXL in der Verlustzone. Schon das schaffen des break even im letzten Quartal könnte die krasse Unterbewertung verdeutlichen und zu erheblichen Kursverbesserungen führen.
Falls auf die Quartalszahlen spekuliert wird, müßte es diese Woche schon kräftig nach oben gehen - trotz der Drückereiversuche! Na, mal sehen, was da geht. London Dome Quotes heute 8:02 bei 2000 GBp!
Kommt ein neues Splitting noch dieses Jahr?
Bis bald!

Unterbewertung hin oder her. ricardo.de macht doch kein Geschäft. Die Hoffnung bestand doch in der Angebotsabgabepflicht bei Übernahme der QXL durch z.B. Florissant. Geplatzt! Da (in Ricardo.de) investiert momentan keine Sau! Ob die mit CH direkt zusammenhängen, weiß ich nicht, denn die haben ja einen ersten fetten Gewinn ausgeworfen.

Ich habe mir in meiner kleinen "Datenbank" für Nebenwerte folgendes notiert:
Machte im Halbjahr bis zum 30. September 2004 einen Umsatz von 2 Mio. Euro.
Und einen Reingewinn von 0,5 Mio. Euro. Hochgerechnet auf das Gesamtjahr entspricht dies einem
Ergebnis von 0,12 je Aktie. Bei 8,32 Mio. ausgegeben Aktien und einem Kurs von ca. 1,50 Euro
entspricht dies einem KGV von ca. 12,5. Für einen Internetwert sicherlich nicht zu viel.
Das stärkere Halbjahr dürfte zudem das noch bevorstehen.
Marktkapitalisierung von 12,5 Mio EUR bei einem Kurs von 1,50 EUR.
KUV ca. ca 3.125.

In London will der Kurs nach oben! Mal sehen, wo wir kommenden Montag stehen? Jetzt sind wir bei 1810 GBp.

auch dir viel glück
gegen ein squeeze-out hätte ich nichts. der laden macht ordentlich gewinne und dies müsste bei einem squeeze-out auch gewürdigt werden. das angebot dürfte weit über dem aktuellen börsenkurs liegen.
du unterliegst deutschen steuergesetzen, somit gilt immer die spekulationsfrist von einem jahr.

Ebay expandiert nach Polen
25.04.2005 um 15:02 Uhr
MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Wegen der starken Nachfrage nach Internet-Auktionen hat Weltmarktführer Ebay nun eine Filiale in Polen eröffnet. Wie das Unternehmen bekannt gab, hatten sich bereits zuvor rund 100.000 polnische Nutzer auf anderen Länder-Websites registriert. Auf dem Portal Ebay.pl, das die Kalifornier nun als Versuchsballon für Osteuropa gestartet haben, ist es ihnen jedoch erstmals möglich, Auktionsware in polnischer Sprache und der Heimatwährung Zloty anzubieten oder zu erwerben. Der Service ist für Privatpersonen und kleine Unternehmen zunächst kostenlos - zumindest so lange, bis Ebay den polnischen Marktführer Allegro.pl verdrängt hat, der mit 2,5 Millionen Nutzern und 830 Millionen Zloty (knapp 200 Millionen Euro) Umsatz im vergangenen Jahr rund 80 Prozent des Marktes beherrscht.
Abgesehen von Dumping-Preisen und dem Zugang zu einer weltweiten Handelsplattform bietet Ebay den derzeit mehr als drei Millionen auktionsbegeisterten Polen aber wenig Neues. Auf den internationalen Online-Bezahlservice Paypal müssen sie sogar ganz verzichten. (mb)

31 March 2004
• Profit on ordinary activities (excluding exceptional items) before
taxation increased 198% to £122,000 compared to £41,000 for the quarter
ended 31 March 2004
• Cash balance at 31 March 2005 of £1.1 million
Year ended 31 March 2005 - Highlights
• Total value of goods sold exceeded £110 million

the year ended 31 March 2004

• Loss on ordinary activities before taxation decreased 79% to £1.35
million compared to £6.47 million for the year ended 31 March 2004
Commenting on the results Mark Zaleski, Chief Executive Officer, said:
`I am delighted that we achieved underlying profitability in the last quarter.
These results also reflect the significant progress we have made towards
achieving full-year profitability, with a 65% increase in annual turnover and a
6% reduction in operating expenses (excluding exceptional items and goodwill).
In the last two quarters we have started to re-invest significant sums in
marketing and technology in order to drive and support future growth.
We expect the strong revenue growth in our key markets to continue, with the
usual seasonal impact on trading activity in the first half of the financial
year. With the endorsement of our two new large shareholder groups, we intend to
devote additional resources to accelerate progress in our legal claims to
recover full ownership and control of QXL Poland during the coming year.
In the short term, we expect our profitability will be impacted by our plans to
continue to increase our investment in marketing, especially in the quarter
ending June 2005, but overall we believe that this increased investment will
further strengthen the business. Going forward, we believe that the underlying
strength of the business model and our strong market positions will deliver a
significant increase in shareholder value.`

Operating Review
Business performance
I am extremely pleased with our operational performance this year as we brought
the business significantly closer towards full-year profitability. I am also
delighted that we achieved underlying profitability in the last quarter.
A highlight of the last year was the successful focus on increasing revenue.
This increase was the main reason for the significant reduction in operating
losses, whereas in previous years much of our progress was achieved through cost
reductions. Our key markets, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, all grew
substantially and have all demonstrated strong profitability over the past year.
In the last quarter of the year, the number of successful transactions on our
sites passed two million and for the year as a whole the number of transactions
grew by over 100%. While the average selling price of items on our sites
declined steadily during the financial year ended 31 March 2004, in the last
year it has remained relatively stable. As a result, the value of goods sold
through our sites in the year increased over 60% to more than £110 million.
Although our costs during the year as a whole were again lower than in the
previous year, in the last two quarters we started to re-invest significant sums
in marketing and technology. We will continue to increase investment in both of
these areas in the future in order to drive and support future growth.
Takeover offers
During the year, we were the subject of a number of takeover bids. None of these
bids ultimately succeeded, but they did help crystallise significant new
interest in the Company from the stock market and a huge increase in the
Company`s share price. From the day before the first announcement of a potential
bid to the day on which the last offer lapsed, the Company`s share price
increased by over 370%. We are also pleased to note that the Company`s share
price has continued to perform well since the last offer lapsed on 7 April 2005.
As a result of the offer process, we find ourselves with a much more
concentrated shareholder base. In particular, we currently have two new large
shareholder groups who, in total, own approximately 50% of the Company. In our
initial meetings with these shareholders, representatives of both
Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. and the Izaki Group have indicated that
they wish us to continue with our existing strategy of focussing our resources
in those countries in which we have leading market positions and to pursue our
legal claims in Poland.
Marketing initiatives
As a result of our strengthening performance, we have started to increase
marketing expenditure where we see the ability to generate a good return.
Naturally most of this is concentrated in those countries where we have leading
positions - we are particularly pleased that ricardo.ch was the fastest growing
of the top 20 websites in Switzerland in the calendar year 2004. During the
course of the last financial year, marketing expenditure increased by 12%
overall, with the increase being greater in the second half of the year. We plan
to continue to increase marketing expenditure during the course of this
financial year. In particular, we currently have a major TV and radio campaign
running in Switzerland. Although this will involve a material increase in costs
in the quarter to 30 June, we are confident it will result in a significant
benefit to our market position and revenue growth over the medium term.
Some examples of the many marketing partnerships we have developed during the
year include:
• In Switzerland we signed a contract with Winterthur Insurance to
develop a closed user online car auction system.
• In Denmark we are running a radio campaign in conjunction with one of
the biggest radio stations in Denmark, `The Voice` and are about to
start-up an advertising programme with TV-Danmark. We have also
significantly extended our partnership with Kelkoo.
• In Norway we have established co-branded auctions with the leading
portals, MSN and Scandinavia Online and have agreed an advertising and
auction deal with TV2.no.
In addition, we have extended our co-marketing efforts with the Discovery
Channel across all of our Scandinavian markets and also in Scandinavia launched
`SmartBid` auctions in conjunction with the Aller Group after successful
launches in the UK with the Evening Standard and British Airways.
All of our sites helped with efforts to raise funds for victims of the Tsunami
disaster and other charities. In Norway, for example, we hosted a large art
charity auction together with Red Cross and 300 of Norway`s most famous artists,
which collected over £210,000 for victims of the Tsunami. We also ran the
auctions for the largest Norwegian charity event in 2004, `TV-auksjonen`. In
France, we auctioned items donated by drivers from the Paris - Dakar rally in
aid of the victims of the Tsunami. In the Netherlands, we ran a special auction
in conjunction with 3FM (National Radio) to provide help to the people of Darfur
in Sudan.
Technical developments
During the course of the year we were able to hold technology costs relatively
flat despite driving an additional 3.75 million transactions through our sites.
In response to feedback from our communities, we made further improvements to
our sites, with over 150 enhancements in various areas including billing, seller
tools, My Account and site administration.
We also commenced a major development programme, which will further integrate
our technology systems and provide a more scaleable platform for the future. We
expect to continue to invest in this during the course of the next financial
year.
Poland
During the year, we continued our fight to reclaim full ownership and control of
QXL Poland Sp z o.o. and its assets. In September 2004, the Disciplinary
Tribunal of the Poznan Bar Association found Przemyslaw Rogowski, the lawyer who
implemented the share issue to NIAA Sp z o.o., guilty on all six counts of
breach of professional ethics in relation to his involvement with this share
issue and banned him from practising as a lawyer for five years. Since then it
has also been reported that the public prosecutors` office is close to
finalising a decision on taking the criminal cases against Rogowski and Arjan
Bakker, the former managing director of the Group`s Polish business, to court.
The court hearings of the main civil case started on 19 November 2004. There
have already been a number of subsequent hearings at which evidence has been
presented and the next hearing is scheduled to take place on 24 May 2005.
Although the costs associated with our efforts are material and progress on our
cases has been slower than we would like, developments during the last year have
generally been positive. Consequently, while we recognise the risks inherent in
any litigation, we remain confident that the Polish courts will ultimately find
in the Company`s favour. QXL Poland continues to grow strongly and its unaudited
net profits for the eight months to 30 November 2004 were approximately £1.75
million. Given the significant value of the business and with the endorsement of
our two new large shareholder groups, we will continue to pursue our cases
aggressively during the coming year and look forward to reporting more progress
in this area over time. However we still believe that proceedings will be
protracted.
People
Our staff have again shown huge dedication to the business through a year
characterised by continued operational growth, but also the distraction of the
various takeover offers. We were particularly pleased by the steadfastness shown
by every employee during this time and I would like to thank them for their
ongoing commitment, tenacity and integrity and look forward to working with them
through another exciting year.
This year I would like to pay particular thanks to our non-executive directors,
James Rose and Thomas Power, who committed a huge amount of time and effort to
managing the takeover process over an extended period while the executive
management were excluded from doing so under the Takeover Panel`s rules.
Financial Review
Fourth quarter
Turnover for the quarter ended 31 March 2005 increased 69% to £2.23 million from
£1.32 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and increased 14% from £1.96
million for the quarter ended 31 December 2004. This increase was primarily due
to increased transaction volumes on our sites.
Cost of sales remained minimal at £39,000 compared to £8,000 for the quarter
ended 31 March 2004. The increase in gross profit was therefore in line with the
increase in turnover at £2.19 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2005, a 67%
increase from £1.31 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a 16%
increase from £1.89 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 64% to £1.54 million for the quarter
ended 31 March 2005 from £941,000 (excluding goodwill) for the quarter ended 31
March 2004 and increased 13% from £1.37 million in the quarter ended 31 December
2004. These increases were driven by increased marketing spend across our three
main markets. Bad debt expenses were £13,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
compared to a credit of £122,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 due to the
release of earlier provisions. The expense of £13,000 in the quarter ended 31
March 2005 was the same as in the previous quarter.
Technology and development costs of £266,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
represented a 74% increase from £153,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and
a 9% increase from £244,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004. The
significant year-on-year increase resulted from the re-investment in development
of our web sites and related technology as well as expansion of our systems to
accommodate increasing transaction volumes. We expect costs in this area to
increase steadily in the future due to additional developments and in order to
accommodate further increases in transaction volumes.
General and administrative costs (excluding exceptional items) decreased 17% to
£238,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005, from £286,000 in the quarter ended
31 March 2004 and decreased 45% from £430,000 in the quarter ended 31 December
2004. The significant decrease compared to the previous quarter was due to
further cost control measures as well as the release of certain legal accruals.
Going forward, we expect general and administrative costs to increase as we
devote more resources to recover full ownership of QXL Poland Sp z o.o..
In the quarter ended 31 March 2005 the Group recorded one exceptional item,
which was £462,000 of expenses related to the takeover offers for the Company.
A charge of £455,000 was recorded for the same reason in the prior quarter, but
no exceptional charges were recorded in the quarter ended 31 March 2004.
The Group achieved an operating profit (before exceptional items) of £130,000 in
the quarter ended 31 March 2005 compared to an operating profit of £51,000 in
the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a loss of £164,000 in the quarter ended 31
December 2004.
As a result of the exceptional item, the Group recorded a loss on ordinary
activities before taxation of £340,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
compared to a profit of £41,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a loss of
£628,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Year ended 31 March 2005
Turnover
For the year ended 31 March 2005, Group turnover increased by 65% to £7.17
million from £4.35 million for the previous year. This increase in turnover was
primarily due to a strong year-on-year increase in transaction volumes conducted
on the Group`s websites.
Cost of sales and gross profit
Cost of sales for the year ended 31 March 2005 remained relatively negligible at
£181,000 compared to £16,000 in the year ended 31 March 2004. The increase was
partly due to an increase in the value of fees collected through automated
electronic payment mechanisms.
As a consequence, gross profit increased 61% to £6.99 million in the year ended
31 March 2005 from £4.33 million in the year ended 31 March 2004.
Operating expenses and losses
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended 31 March 2005 increased 12% to
£4.86 million from £4.35 million (excluding goodwill) for the year ended 31
March 2004. This increase was particularly pronounced in the second half of the
year as the Group took advantage of its improving operating performance to begin
a focused programme of increasing marketing expenditure where it felt confident
of obtaining a good return. Bad debt expenses decreased 56% from £401,000 in the
year ended 31 March 2004 to £177,000 in the year ended 31 March 2005 as the
Group once again improved its billing and collection processes.
Technology and development costs for the year ended 31 March 2005 decreased 2%
to £889,000 from £909,000 for the year ended 31 March 2004. As with sales and
marketing expenses, the Group began to increase its investment in this area in
the second half of the year in order to maintain a scaleable, leading edge
platform for the future.
General and administrative costs (excluding exceptional items) for the year
ended 31 March 2005 decreased 34% to £1.43 million from £2.18 million in the
year ended 31 March 2004 as the Group again reduced overhead costs. These
general and administrative costs include the legal costs associated with the
ongoing claims to recover full ownership and control of our Polish subsidiary.
Overall operating expenses (excluding goodwill and exceptional items) therefore
decreased 6% to £7.35 million in the year ended 31 March 2005 from £7.84 million
in the previous year.
As a result, operating loss before exceptional items and goodwill in the year
ended 31 March 2005 decreased 90% to £368,000 compared to £3.51 million in the
year ended 31 March 2004.
In the year to 31 March 2005 the Group recorded one exceptional item, which was
£917,000 of expenses related to the takeover offers for the Company.
There was no charge for goodwill during the year compared to a charge of £3.58
million in the year to 31 March 2004.
Losses on ordinary activities before taxation in the year ended 31 March 2005
were £1.35 million compared to losses of £6.47 million in the year ended 31
March 2004.
Interest
Net interest payable of £81,000 was charged in the year ended 31 March 2005.
This largely comprised interest due on the Group`s Convertible Bonds, partly
offset by interest receivable on the Group`s bank deposits. This compared to net
interest payable of £108,000 in the year ended 31 March 2004.
Tax
During the year ended 31 March 2005, the Group recorded a net tax credit after a
tax charge of £3,000 relating to overseas income taxes and a £125,000 tax credit
relating to research and development, which amount has been received in cash in
April 2005. The Group also recognised a deferred tax asset of £237,000 on the
basis that, given all available evidence, it is expected to be recoverable
against future taxable profits. As of 31 March 2005, there were approximately
£204 million of carry forward tax losses within the Group to offset against
future taxable income.
Minority interest
A minority interest charge of £85,000 was incurred during the year. This was
mainly related to minority shareholders in the Group`s 91% owned German
subsidiary, ricardo.de AG.
Loss per ordinary share
The Group`s loss per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2005 was £0.73,
compared to a loss of £6.60 per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2004.
Financing and treasury
In January 2001, the Company agreed to issue convertible bonds in three tranches
of £5 million (the `Convertible Bonds`). 417,838 new ordinary shares were issued
as a result of three separate bond conversions in the year ended 31 March 2005.
These conversions included the final maturity and mandatory conversion of all
outstanding Bonds. No Bonds or any associated warrants remain outstanding as at
31 March 2005.
The Group`s cash position at 31 March 2005 was £1.1 million.
The bulk of the Group`s cash balances are held in Sterling, Euro and Swiss Franc
denominated floating rate deposits.
Cash flow
Our net cash outflow from operating activities reduced dramatically to £413,000
(2004: £2.71 million). This was almost entirely as a result of the significant
improvement in our operating results during the year.
Since 31 March 2005, the Group has received approximately £780,000 net of
expenses from the exercise of options, the sale of a non-trading subsidiary in
Sweden, the receipt of funds relating to a tax credit and from a small placing
of 22,558 ordinary shares. This amount will be used to settle the majority of
the outstanding expenses resulting from the takeover offers for the Company,
with the balance being settled out of existing resources.
Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards
Our results for the quarter to 30 June 2005 and subsequent periods will be
reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This
will require us to expense the theoretical cost of share options, which will
therefore impact reported profits, although obviously not cashflow or trading
margins. The magnitude of this impact will depend primarily on the level of
future option grants.
Current trading and outlook
We expect the strong revenue growth in our key markets to continue, with the
usual seasonal impact on trading activity in the first half of the financial
year. We believe that the online auction market has significant growth potential
and that we are well placed to benefit from this, especially in those countries
where we have leading positions and want to develop our businesses further. We
are currently reviewing the most effective means of financing these future
development plans.
The recovery of our Polish business remains an expensive and time-consuming
issue for us. However we are determined that shareholders should recover the
significant value that has been taken from them and remain confident that the
courts will ultimately decide in our favour. With the endorsement of our two new
large shareholder groups, we intend to devote additional resources to accelerate
progress in the litigation during the coming year.
In the short term, we expect our profitability will be impacted by our plans to
continue to increase our investment in marketing, especially in the quarter
ending June 2005, but overall we believe that this increased investment will
further strengthen the business. Going forward, we believe that the underlying
strength of the business model and our strong market positions will deliver a
significant increase in shareholder value.

These results also reflect the significant progress we have made towards
achieving full-year profitability, with a 65% increase in annual turnover and a
6% reduction in operating expenses (excluding exceptional items and goodwill).
In the last two quarters we have started to re-invest significant sums in
marketing and technology in order to drive and support future growth.
We expect the strong revenue growth in our key markets to continue, with the
usual seasonal impact on trading activity in the first half of the financial
year. With the endorsement of our two new large shareholder groups, we intend to
devote additional resources to accelerate progress in our legal claims to
recover full ownership and control of QXL Poland during the coming year.
In the short term, we expect our profitability will be impacted by our plans to
continue to increase our investment in marketing, especially in the quarter
ending June 2005, but overall we believe that this increased investment will
further strengthen the business. Going forward, we believe that the underlying
strength of the business model and our strong market positions will deliver a
significant increase in shareholder value.`

Operating Review
Business performance
I am extremely pleased with our operational performance this year as we brought
the business significantly closer towards full-year profitability. I am also
delighted that we achieved underlying profitability in the last quarter.
A highlight of the last year was the successful focus on increasing revenue.
This increase was the main reason for the significant reduction in operating
losses, whereas in previous years much of our progress was achieved through cost
reductions. Our key markets, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, all grew
substantially and have all demonstrated strong profitability over the past year.
In the last quarter of the year, the number of successful transactions on our
sites passed two million and for the year as a whole the number of transactions
grew by over 100%. While the average selling price of items on our sites
declined steadily during the financial year ended 31 March 2004, in the last
year it has remained relatively stable. As a result, the value of goods sold
through our sites in the year increased over 60% to more than £110 million.
Although our costs during the year as a whole were again lower than in the
previous year, in the last two quarters we started to re-invest significant sums
in marketing and technology. We will continue to increase investment in both of
these areas in the future in order to drive and support future growth.
Takeover offers
During the year, we were the subject of a number of takeover bids. None of these
bids ultimately succeeded, but they did help crystallise significant new
interest in the Company from the stock market and a huge increase in the
Company`s share price. From the day before the first announcement of a potential
bid to the day on which the last offer lapsed, the Company`s share price
increased by over 370%. We are also pleased to note that the Company`s share
price has continued to perform well since the last offer lapsed on 7 April 2005.
As a result of the offer process, we find ourselves with a much more
concentrated shareholder base. In particular, we currently have two new large
shareholder groups who, in total, own approximately 50% of the Company. In our
initial meetings with these shareholders, representatives of both
Beleggingsmaatschappij Florissant N.V. and the Izaki Group have indicated that
they wish us to continue with our existing strategy of focussing our resources
in those countries in which we have leading market positions and to pursue our
legal claims in Poland.
Marketing initiatives
As a result of our strengthening performance, we have started to increase
marketing expenditure where we see the ability to generate a good return.
Naturally most of this is concentrated in those countries where we have leading
positions - we are particularly pleased that ricardo.ch was the fastest growing
of the top 20 websites in Switzerland in the calendar year 2004. During the
course of the last financial year, marketing expenditure increased by 12%
overall, with the increase being greater in the second half of the year. We plan
to continue to increase marketing expenditure during the course of this
financial year. In particular, we currently have a major TV and radio campaign
running in Switzerland. Although this will involve a material increase in costs
in the quarter to 30 June, we are confident it will result in a significant
benefit to our market position and revenue growth over the medium term.
Some examples of the many marketing partnerships we have developed during the
year include:
• In Switzerland we signed a contract with Winterthur Insurance to
develop a closed user online car auction system.
• In Denmark we are running a radio campaign in conjunction with one of
the biggest radio stations in Denmark, `The Voice` and are about to
start-up an advertising programme with TV-Danmark. We have also
significantly extended our partnership with Kelkoo.
• In Norway we have established co-branded auctions with the leading
portals, MSN and Scandinavia Online and have agreed an advertising and
auction deal with TV2.no.
In addition, we have extended our co-marketing efforts with the Discovery
Channel across all of our Scandinavian markets and also in Scandinavia launched
`SmartBid` auctions in conjunction with the Aller Group after successful
launches in the UK with the Evening Standard and British Airways.
All of our sites helped with efforts to raise funds for victims of the Tsunami
disaster and other charities. In Norway, for example, we hosted a large art
charity auction together with Red Cross and 300 of Norway`s most famous artists,
which collected over £210,000 for victims of the Tsunami. We also ran the
auctions for the largest Norwegian charity event in 2004, `TV-auksjonen`. In
France, we auctioned items donated by drivers from the Paris - Dakar rally in
aid of the victims of the Tsunami. In the Netherlands, we ran a special auction
in conjunction with 3FM (National Radio) to provide help to the people of Darfur
in Sudan.
Technical developments
During the course of the year we were able to hold technology costs relatively
flat despite driving an additional 3.75 million transactions through our sites.
In response to feedback from our communities, we made further improvements to
our sites, with over 150 enhancements in various areas including billing, seller
tools, My Account and site administration.
We also commenced a major development programme, which will further integrate
our technology systems and provide a more scaleable platform for the future. We
expect to continue to invest in this during the course of the next financial
year.
Poland
During the year, we continued our fight to reclaim full ownership and control of
QXL Poland Sp z o.o. and its assets. In September 2004, the Disciplinary
Tribunal of the Poznan Bar Association found Przemyslaw Rogowski, the lawyer who
implemented the share issue to NIAA Sp z o.o., guilty on all six counts of
breach of professional ethics in relation to his involvement with this share
issue and banned him from practising as a lawyer for five years. Since then it
has also been reported that the public prosecutors` office is close to
finalising a decision on taking the criminal cases against Rogowski and Arjan
Bakker, the former managing director of the Group`s Polish business, to court.
The court hearings of the main civil case started on 19 November 2004. There
have already been a number of subsequent hearings at which evidence has been
presented and the next hearing is scheduled to take place on 24 May 2005.
Although the costs associated with our efforts are material and progress on our
cases has been slower than we would like, developments during the last year have
generally been positive. Consequently, while we recognise the risks inherent in
any litigation, we remain confident that the Polish courts will ultimately find
in the Company`s favour. QXL Poland continues to grow strongly and its unaudited
net profits for the eight months to 30 November 2004 were approximately £1.75
million. Given the significant value of the business and with the endorsement of
our two new large shareholder groups, we will continue to pursue our cases
aggressively during the coming year and look forward to reporting more progress
in this area over time. However we still believe that proceedings will be
protracted.
People
Our staff have again shown huge dedication to the business through a year
characterised by continued operational growth, but also the distraction of the
various takeover offers. We were particularly pleased by the steadfastness shown
by every employee during this time and I would like to thank them for their
ongoing commitment, tenacity and integrity and look forward to working with them
through another exciting year.
This year I would like to pay particular thanks to our non-executive directors,
James Rose and Thomas Power, who committed a huge amount of time and effort to
managing the takeover process over an extended period while the executive
management were excluded from doing so under the Takeover Panel`s rules.
Financial Review
Fourth quarter
Turnover for the quarter ended 31 March 2005 increased 69% to £2.23 million from
£1.32 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and increased 14% from £1.96
million for the quarter ended 31 December 2004. This increase was primarily due
to increased transaction volumes on our sites.
Cost of sales remained minimal at £39,000 compared to £8,000 for the quarter
ended 31 March 2004. The increase in gross profit was therefore in line with the
increase in turnover at £2.19 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2005, a 67%
increase from £1.31 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a 16%
increase from £1.89 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 64% to £1.54 million for the quarter
ended 31 March 2005 from £941,000 (excluding goodwill) for the quarter ended 31
March 2004 and increased 13% from £1.37 million in the quarter ended 31 December
2004. These increases were driven by increased marketing spend across our three
main markets. Bad debt expenses were £13,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
compared to a credit of £122,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 due to the
release of earlier provisions. The expense of £13,000 in the quarter ended 31
March 2005 was the same as in the previous quarter.
Technology and development costs of £266,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
represented a 74% increase from £153,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and
a 9% increase from £244,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004. The
significant year-on-year increase resulted from the re-investment in development
of our web sites and related technology as well as expansion of our systems to
accommodate increasing transaction volumes. We expect costs in this area to
increase steadily in the future due to additional developments and in order to
accommodate further increases in transaction volumes.
General and administrative costs (excluding exceptional items) decreased 17% to
£238,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005, from £286,000 in the quarter ended
31 March 2004 and decreased 45% from £430,000 in the quarter ended 31 December
2004. The significant decrease compared to the previous quarter was due to
further cost control measures as well as the release of certain legal accruals.
Going forward, we expect general and administrative costs to increase as we
devote more resources to recover full ownership of QXL Poland Sp z o.o..
In the quarter ended 31 March 2005 the Group recorded one exceptional item,
which was £462,000 of expenses related to the takeover offers for the Company.
A charge of £455,000 was recorded for the same reason in the prior quarter, but
no exceptional charges were recorded in the quarter ended 31 March 2004.
The Group achieved an operating profit (before exceptional items) of £130,000 in
the quarter ended 31 March 2005 compared to an operating profit of £51,000 in
the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a loss of £164,000 in the quarter ended 31
December 2004.
As a result of the exceptional item, the Group recorded a loss on ordinary
activities before taxation of £340,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2005
compared to a profit of £41,000 in the quarter ended 31 March 2004 and a loss of
£628,000 in the quarter ended 31 December 2004.
Year ended 31 March 2005
Turnover
For the year ended 31 March 2005, Group turnover increased by 65% to £7.17
million from £4.35 million for the previous year. This increase in turnover was
primarily due to a strong year-on-year increase in transaction volumes conducted
on the Group`s websites.
Cost of sales and gross profit
Cost of sales for the year ended 31 March 2005 remained relatively negligible at
£181,000 compared to £16,000 in the year ended 31 March 2004. The increase was
partly due to an increase in the value of fees collected through automated
electronic payment mechanisms.
As a consequence, gross profit increased 61% to £6.99 million in the year ended
31 March 2005 from £4.33 million in the year ended 31 March 2004.
Operating expenses and losses
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended 31 March 2005 increased 12% to
£4.86 million from £4.35 million (excluding goodwill) for the year ended 31
March 2004. This increase was particularly pronounced in the second half of the
year as the Group took advantage of its improving operating performance to begin
a focused programme of increasing marketing expenditure where it felt confident
of obtaining a good return. Bad debt expenses decreased 56% from £401,000 in the
year ended 31 March 2004 to £177,000 in the year ended 31 March 2005 as the
Group once again improved its billing and collection processes.
Technology and development costs for the year ended 31 March 2005 decreased 2%
to £889,000 from £909,000 for the year ended 31 March 2004. As with sales and
marketing expenses, the Group began to increase its investment in this area in
the second half of the year in order to maintain a scaleable, leading edge
platform for the future.
General and administrative costs (excluding exceptional items) for the year
ended 31 March 2005 decreased 34% to £1.43 million from £2.18 million in the
year ended 31 March 2004 as the Group again reduced overhead costs. These
general and administrative costs include the legal costs associated with the
ongoing claims to recover full ownership and control of our Polish subsidiary.
Overall operating expenses (excluding goodwill and exceptional items) therefore
decreased 6% to £7.35 million in the year ended 31 March 2005 from £7.84 million
in the previous year.
As a result, operating loss before exceptional items and goodwill in the year
ended 31 March 2005 decreased 90% to £368,000 compared to £3.51 million in the
year ended 31 March 2004.
In the year to 31 March 2005 the Group recorded one exceptional item, which was
£917,000 of expenses related to the takeover offers for the Company.
There was no charge for goodwill during the year compared to a charge of £3.58
million in the year to 31 March 2004.
Losses on ordinary activities before taxation in the year ended 31 March 2005
were £1.35 million compared to losses of £6.47 million in the year ended 31
March 2004.
Interest
Net interest payable of £81,000 was charged in the year ended 31 March 2005.
This largely comprised interest due on the Group`s Convertible Bonds, partly
offset by interest receivable on the Group`s bank deposits. This compared to net
interest payable of £108,000 in the year ended 31 March 2004.
Tax
During the year ended 31 March 2005, the Group recorded a net tax credit after a
tax charge of £3,000 relating to overseas income taxes and a £125,000 tax credit
relating to research and development, which amount has been received in cash in
April 2005. The Group also recognised a deferred tax asset of £237,000 on the
basis that, given all available evidence, it is expected to be recoverable
against future taxable profits. As of 31 March 2005, there were approximately
£204 million of carry forward tax losses within the Group to offset against
future taxable income.
Minority interest
A minority interest charge of £85,000 was incurred during the year. This was
mainly related to minority shareholders in the Group`s 91% owned German
subsidiary, ricardo.de AG.
Loss per ordinary share
The Group`s loss per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2005 was £0.73,
compared to a loss of £6.60 per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2004.
Financing and treasury
In January 2001, the Company agreed to issue convertible bonds in three tranches
of £5 million (the `Convertible Bonds`). 417,838 new ordinary shares were issued
as a result of three separate bond conversions in the year ended 31 March 2005.
These conversions included the final maturity and mandatory conversion of all
outstanding Bonds. No Bonds or any associated warrants remain outstanding as at
31 March 2005.
The Group`s cash position at 31 March 2005 was £1.1 million.
The bulk of the Group`s cash balances are held in Sterling, Euro and Swiss Franc
denominated floating rate deposits.
Cash flow
Our net cash outflow from operating activities reduced dramatically to £413,000
(2004: £2.71 million). This was almost entirely as a result of the significant
improvement in our operating results during the year.
Since 31 March 2005, the Group has received approximately £780,000 net of
expenses from the exercise of options, the sale of a non-trading subsidiary in
Sweden, the receipt of funds relating to a tax credit and from a small placing
of 22,558 ordinary shares. This amount will be used to settle the majority of
the outstanding expenses resulting from the takeover offers for the Company,
with the balance being settled out of existing resources.
Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards
Our results for the quarter to 30 June 2005 and subsequent periods will be
reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This
will require us to expense the theoretical cost of share options, which will
therefore impact reported profits, although obviously not cashflow or trading
margins. The magnitude of this impact will depend primarily on the level of
future option grants.
Current trading and outlook
We expect the strong revenue growth in our key markets to continue, with the
usual seasonal impact on trading activity in the first half of the financial
year. We believe that the online auction market has significant growth potential
and that we are well placed to benefit from this, especially in those countries
where we have leading positions and want to develop our businesses further. We
are currently reviewing the most effective means of financing these future
development plans.
The recovery of our Polish business remains an expensive and time-consuming
issue for us. However we are determined that shareholders should recover the
significant value that has been taken from them and remain confident that the
courts will ultimately decide in our favour. With the endorsement of our two new
large shareholder groups, we intend to devote additional resources to accelerate
progress in the litigation during the coming year.
In the short term, we expect our profitability will be impacted by our plans to
continue to increase our investment in marketing, especially in the quarter
ending June 2005, but overall we believe that this increased investment will
further strengthen the business. Going forward, we believe that the underlying
strength of the business model and our strong market positions will deliver a
significant increase in shareholder value.

Mußte erst mal den Bericht durchackern.

Trotzdem müßte der Kurs steigen, jetzt sind die ja ab letztem Quartal profitabel und damit nicht mehr exitenzgefährdet! (erwartet ja auch das Board)
Die Deckelei geht trotzdem weiter! In London wie in Frankfurt. Also haben Izaki noch nicht 30 % eingesammelt!

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Online auctioneer QXL reported a full year loss today and warned on short term profitability, although the group managed to sneak in a profit for the final quarter.
Pre-tax losses for the 12 months to 31 March narrowed 79% to £1.35m from £6.47m last year, while turnover jumped 65% to £7.17m, but QXL managed a fourth quarter pre-tax profit before exceptional items of £122,000 on turnover up 69% to £2.23m.
Chief executive Mark Zaleski said, “We expect the strong revenue growth in our key markets to continue, with the usual seasonal impact on trading activity in the first half of the financial year.”
“We intend to devote additional resources to accelerate progress in our legal claims to recover full ownership and control of QXL Poland during the coming year,” he added.

But Zaleski warned, “In the short term, we expect our profitability will be impacted by our plans to continue to increase our investment in marketing, especially in the quarter ending June 2005, but overall we believe that this increased investment will further strengthen the business.”
QXL reports fourth quarter profit

Internet auction group QXL Ricardo reports strong fourth quarter growth and says it shares a common goal with its two new large shareholders: to regain control of QXL Poland.
Recent interest in QXL (QXL) has centred on the takeover battle that has been waged since last November and has sent the shares up by a staggering 370%.
All bids have now lapsed but the company has been left with two new big shareholders holding around 50% between them - Izaki Group, the investment vehicle of Israeli entrepreneurs Ron Izaki and Shimon Weintraub and Florissant, the vehicle of venture capitalists Andrin Bachman and Kenn Robson.
Significantly QXL has said today that both shareholders support management`s strategy of fighting through the courts to regain control of QXL Poland. Florissant based its bid for the group in part on a deal it had negotiated with the people who are alleged to have illegally taken control of the Polish operation.
However, management does not seem so sure about the new shareholders` view on the current structure of the boardroom. Finance director Robert Dighero told Citywire: `So far they all seem very supportive… but it is still early days.`

lach - ja, das Du Dich ärgerst, verstehe ich.
Mit dem "Hinziehen" meine ich, daß es wohl noch dauern wird, bis die polnische NL wieder eingegliedert wird. Am 24.05.05 ist ja mal gerade ein erneutes Hearing. Ich glaube nicht, daß da schon ein Urteil fällt.
Bei 200 Mio € Umsatz in 2004 bei allegro sind 1,75 Mio GBP bis 30.11.2004 aber wenig!!! Wer weiß, was das Zahlenspiel wieder soll.
Happy Weekend!

mit den 1,75 Mio GBP meine ich natürlich den Gewinn. Der müßte doch viel höher liegen!
Ich glaube nicht dass Allegro.pl 200 Millionen Umsatz im vergangenen Jahr gemacht hat. Dafür sind zuwenig Auktionen drin

Lies doch mal richtig: "...its unaudited
net profits for the eight months to 30 November 2004 were approximately £1.75 million."

Ja, aber diese Spielerei muß doch nen Grund haben. Ich denke, daß Izaki noch nicht bedient ist und die Kurse vorerst noch flach gehalten werden sollen.

@Zockerpetry
Bevor der Kurs abgeht, muss doch ersteinmal ein rechtskräftiges Urteil her. Vorher wird nichts passieren.
So long.
