TELECOMS company Billings Services Group is facing a rebellion from leading shareholder Jim Mellon, who claims management is trying to buy the business on the cheap.

Mellon, who lives on the Isle of Man and whose personal wealth is estimated at £600 million, said he would call an extraordinary general meeting to demand the board of BSG release secret documents he believes will shed light on the buy-out plans.

The egm call follows an acrimonious agm last week in which Mellon, who owns about 15 per cent of the group, accused BSG of riding roughshod over investors.

BSG provides a customer cash clearing service between telecoms companies. The group recently sold its European mobile phone billing service to US group Syniverse for £145 million. The deal is still awaiting EC approval.

Sources close to Mellon denied he was planning his own bid for the group.

Stellt sich die Frage ob eine Verneinung auch ein definitives Nein bedeutet.

Wer BILL nicht hat,sollte ihn zumindest auf die Watchlist nehmen ;-)))))))))))))))  

Billing Services Gro EU clears Syniverse buy of BSG wireless unit




        BRUSSELS (Thomson Financial) - The European Commission said it has cleared
Syniverse Holdings Inc's proposed acquisition of Billing Services Group Ltd's
(BSG) wireless business.
   The commission said its in-depth investigation, opened in July, has shown
the acquisition would be unlikely to result in competition concerns in the
market for the provision of GSM roaming data clearing services.
   The commission said it has therefore concluded the proposed transaction
would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic
Area (EEA) or a significant part of it.
   It said, with the proposed transaction, the number of competitors currently
active in Europe in the market for clearing services for roaming data would be
reduced from three to two.
   But it added its in-depth investigation revealed Syniverse has not exerted
strong competitive pressure on BSG's prices and switching between BSG and
Syniverse (or vice-versa) has been very rare, but both companies have faced
strong competition from market leader Mach.
   It is therefore likely the combined Syniverse/BSG would be in strong
competition with Mach in the future, the commission said.
   Furthermore, it said other data clearing companies, not yet active in
Europe, would have the possibility to provide such services to European mobile
network operators (MNOs) as there are no capacity constraints and several MNOs
clearly consider them to be credible bidders, such as US company VeriSign.
   In addition, forthcoming technological developments may give other players,
in particular providers of software for the billing of roaming services, the
ability and incentive to enter the market for data clearing services, it said.
   The Commission added its market investigation has also shown MNOs would
remain sufficiently strong to exclude the likelihood of unilateral price
increases by the merged entity, in particular by sponsoring the entry of new
competitors.
   The in-depth market investigation also confirmed the reduction of the number
of currently active data clearing service providers operating in Europe would be
unlikely to result in the co-ordination of competitive behaviour between the
remaining service providers.

Die Umsätze sind in den vergangenen Tagen deutlich angezogen. Gab es irgendwo Gerüchte (News?), die diese plötzlich anziehenden Umsätze und Kurse erklären könnten?

Gibt es Neues zur immer wieder mal diskutierten Übernahme von BILL?

Nun, nach langer Zeit ohne Bill im Depot, habe ich mir zu 12 eine schöne Posi eingebucht. Ich spekuliere mal auf einen Verkauf des Unternehmens bis Jahresende. Ziel: 18p.

Schaun mer mal...........
