Title: Party gaming share sale.
Post by: ACE2M on June 18, 2006, 04:58:52 PM
Article on cardplayer.com, i imagine Parasol and DeLeon were a little disapointed with their cut...

Last week’s stock sale raised also less than what was expected. The founders planned to float 350 million shares, but reduced that number to 200 million. Also, the founders were hoping to get at least 119 pence for the shares. Still, the sale was worth nearly £232 million.
The sale gave Dikshit about £66 million and he still retains almost 30 percent of the company. Bhargava earned £77 million through the sale and still retains about 7 percent of PartyGaming. Parasol and DeLeon made about £38 each from the sale. They each retain about 15 percent of PartyGaming.

They've got enough for a fortnight's worth of extra value meals from McDonalds.

Sure, they'd be happier with £66 million, but if I were them, I'd just be pleased my name wasn't Dikshit.

Dikshit is the family's surname.


Any more juvenile humour?

On a serious point for a minute (I know, I never learn)...


management and founders are reducing their stakes
some legal and regualtory concerns in the US
Difficult stockmarket set to continue



Not exactly raging Buy Signals!

Is it just me or is this thread unusually lacking in both volume and quality?

Have todays proceedings given all blondiets a new sense of tolerance and forebarence to the point of unequivical restraint?

I mean FFS come on!!!! the guys called DIKSHIT!!!!

Poor family, I guess being a billionaire, he can afford to change it by deedpoll

Any more juvenile humour?
