Hoff ist heute eine Wette wert - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[nonnenkloster]

Kurs steigt gegen den Trend, bereits ca. + 13 % an der Nasdaq heute. Hoff ist ein Oil drilling Unternehmen, weiß jemand warum der Kurs steigt?

[nonnenkloster]

Von 1.14 USd auf 1.35 USD , nicht schlecht , Herr Specht

[carlo49]

hi

aber heut weiss ich nicht, was da im busch ist.
sind auch relativ hohe umsätze.
mein kursziel liegt bei 2 -2,5 euro auf kurze sicht.
gruss carlo

[nonnenkloster]

ich bin seit August drin, habe schon viele Tiefen und seit Dezember nur noch (extreme)Höhen mitgemacht. Ich bin auch bullish und zudem long

[carlo49]

ist doch schön so.
geduld zahlt sich manchmal doch aus.
ich hab was von ner pipeline, die in indien gebaut werden soll, gehört.
ich hoff, dass hoff da auch den zuschlag bekommt, das wäre schon der hammer. in afrika sind sie ja schon.
das würde den kurs sicher in alte höhen, sprich kurs wie anfang 2004, treiben.
hoffen wirs!

[carlo49]

da kommen sicher heut noch news, die umsätze sind verdächtig.
da wissen wieder ein paar leute mehr , als die andern.

[putin@ru]

schade ..hier in D verkäuft mir keiner seine stücke !

[carlo49]

ist doch gut so, ausser du möchtest kaufen, dann musst du wahrscheinlich mindestens 1, 10 limitieren, oder bestens, dann bekommst sicher was.
ist aber risiko, wenn du ohne limit ran gehst.
aber die werden die 2,50 E sehen, sehr bald!

[carlo49]

in frankfurt sind sie 1,09 brief
hol sie dir doch
1,31 § sind allerdings nur 1,01 E, zu deiner info.wills nur gesagt haben, gruss carlo

[carlo49]

sie kommen usa wieder leicht zurück
aktuell 1,29 $
jetzt müssts auch in frankfurt klappen mit 1,05 oder so

[carlo49]

und das orderbuch sieht auch sehr gut aus in usa
reichlich nachfrage
wenig angebot, erts bei 1,36 sind 23000 stücke zum verkauf

[nonnenkloster]

1,31 $ sind allerdings nur 1,01 E, zu deiner info- das stimmt, heute. Und wenn der Dollar evtl. künftig noch ein bisserl steigt, spielt das m.A. keine groß Rolle. Beu US-Werten gehts ab und an zudem auch um Währungsspeku

[carlo49]

ja , mein ich doch auch. die währung ist eher langfristig zu sehen, und daher gut für uns hoff aktionäre, da ich glaube, dass der dollar in naher zukunft rasant nach oben gehen wird. aus technischen gründen.
aber was solls, wenn man bullish für hoff ist, spielt es keine rolle, ob ich sie für 1,01 oder 1,08 kaufe.
wenn sie bei 2,50 sind ist das doch ein ordentlicher gewinn, denk ich.
gruss carlo

[carlo49]

also
der bellwether report hat hoff auf seine "stocks of interest"-liste gesetzt.deshalb der kursanstieg.
da ist echt musik drin. das ist keine teck-wichsbude, da sind fundamentals dahinter.
KAUFEN!http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/quotes_news.asp?cpath=20050203ACQ…

The Company had earlier extended the January 21, 2005 maturity date to February 11, 2005.

The Commitment Letter also contemplates that Manchester and any other new lenders that participate in the proposed financing transaction and the holders of our subordinated secured notes and redeemable preferred stock, which will exchange approximately $85 million of subordinated secured notes and all of the preferred stock in the transaction, would receive equity securities in an acceptable form equal to 95% of our aggregate outstanding common stock after giving effect to the proposed transaction.

Horizon Offshore Files Notification of Delayed Filing With the Securities and Exchange Commission for Its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Provides Update Regarding Proposed Terms of Recapitalization and Refinancing of Indebtedness
Thursday March 17, 7:00 am ET

HOUSTON, March 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Horizon Offshore, Inc. (NasdaqNM:HOFF - News) announced that it will file notification of delayed filing today with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 12b-25 for its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, because it was not able to complete its annual report and financial statements by the filing deadline of March 16, 2005. The Company intends to file its annual report on Form 10-K on or before March 31, 2005.

On March 16, 2005, the day its Form 10-K was due, after having pursued multiple financing alternatives, the Company completed negotiation of the principal economic terms of a significant financing transaction with various lenders which, if successfully completed, will provide the Company with the ability to refinance and restructure its debt maturing in 2005, exchange a significant portion of its 16% and 18% subordinated secured notes for equity and obtain additional working capital financing to replace its revolving credit facilities with Southwest Bank of Texas, N.A. that were repaid in February 2005.

The proposed financing transaction contemplates a $25 million senior secured term loan and a $40 million senior secured revolving line of credit. The Company intends to use these proposed loan proceeds to refinance its revolving credit facility maturing in May 2005 and for other general corporate purposes, including to provide working capital to support operations. In connection with obtaining this financing, the Company intends to restructure its term loan with The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. The proposed financing transaction also contemplates that the new lenders and the holders of the Company`s 16% and 18% subordinated secured notes and existing redeemable preferred stock will exchange approximately $85 million of subordinated secured notes and all of the preferred stock for equity securities in an acceptable form equivalent to 95% of the Company`s aggregate outstanding common stock after giving effect to the transaction. The Company anticipates that $25 million of its subordinated secured notes will remain outstanding after closing. The proposed equity issuance would result in substantial dilution to the Company`s existing common stockholders. Accordingly, any investment in the Company`s common stock will continue to be highly speculative. In order to obtain the necessary funding to continue operations without the lengthy delay associated with obtaining stockholder approval, the Company would be required to delist from the NASDAQ National Market, which, among other things, may result in reduced liquidity of trading of the Company`s common stock. A successful completion of the financing transaction and related equity issuance would result in the termination of the October 29, 2004 recapitalization letter agreement that the Company entered into with holders of its subordinated secured notes. That recapitalization letter agreement contemplated that the Company would have proposed to its stockholders that the holders of the Company`s subordinated secured notes would have received common stock equivalent to 95% of the Company`s aggregate outstanding common stock, and that $45 million of its subordinated secured notes would have remained outstanding.

The proposed financing transaction contemplates that the $25 million term loan would bear interest at 15% per annum, payable monthly 10% in cash and 5% paid in-kind, require a monthly principal payment of $500,000 and mature on March 31, 2007. The $40 million revolving line of credit would bear interest at 10% per annum, payable monthly 8% in cash and 2% paid in-kind, and mature on March 31, 2007. The proposed loans would be collateralized by first or second liens on all existing and future assets of the Company.

``We continue to work diligently with our subordinated note holders, senior lenders and prospective lenders to complete this proposed financing and equity recapitalization as part of our ongoing efforts to maximize the company`s value,`` said John T. Mills, Chairman of the Board. ``Although we remain confident that we can accomplish these tasks, the company needs the support of all interested parties to resolve these issues.``

Horizon and its subsidiaries provide marine construction services for the offshore oil and gas industry in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean. The Company`s fleet is used to perform a wide range of marine construction activities, including installation of marine pipelines to transport oil and gas and other sub sea production systems, and the installation and abandonment of production platforms.

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, which involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: the Company`s substantial amount of debt and high reliance on external sources of financing and improved cash flow to meet its obligations and reduce its existing debt; the Company`s ability to complete the recapitalization of its equity structure and to extend and refinance its credit facilities; the potential of receiving an audit opinion with a ``going concern`` explanatory paragraph from its independent auditors; resolution of the Company`s outstanding claims against Pemex; outcome of litigation with Williams and the underwriters of the insurance coverage on the Gulf Horizon; industry conditions and volatility; prices of oil and gas; the Company`s ability to obtain and the timing of new projects; changes in competitive factors; and other material factors that are described from time to time in the Company`s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Actual events, circumstances, effects and results may be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Consequently, the forward-looking statements often identified with words like ``should,`` ``expects,`` ``believes,`` ``anticipates,`` ``may,`` ``could,`` etc., contained herein should not be regarded as representations by Horizon or any other person that the projected outcomes can or will be achieved.
