SKY O/A will be private-labeled under the ‘CNC Service’ brand as an enhanced service offering called ‘ICT Business’.

Global IPO Activity Reaches Record Levels in 2007, Says Ernst & Young

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global initial public offering (IPO) activity reached record levels in 2007, with capital raised at an all-time high and the number of companies choosing to go public in the first 11 months of this year exceeding the whole of 2006, according to figures released today by Ernst & Young.

From January through November 2007, US$255 billion was raised globally through 1739 IPOs – compared to US$246 billion raised in 1729 deals in the whole of 2006. The year-end spike in IPO activity seen in 2006 looks likely to be repeated in 2007 with preliminary data for the first two weeks of December indicating a further US$18 billion raised in 91 IPOs.

This record level of activity has been achieved despite the absence in 2007 of the mega-deals seen in recent years. The largest IPO of 2007 to date was Russia’s VTB Bank, which raised US$8.0 billion, some way short of Chinese bank ICBC’s US$22 billion, the largest IPO of last year.

IPO activity continues to be driven by the emerging markets, which accounted for the majority of the largest deals of the year – 14 out of the top 20 IPOs, compared with nine of the top 20 in 2006. By industry, financial companies continue to dominate, representing one-quarter of all funds raised. Industrial and real estate also accounted for some of the biggest deals of 2006.

Brazil, Russia, India and China – the so-called BRIC countries – have raised US$106.5 billion in 382 deals so far this year, compared with US$89.6 billion raised in 302 deals in the same period of 2006. Of that group China generated more IPOs (209) than Russia, Brazil and India combined (173).

Worldwide, China, the US and Brazil were the market share leaders by capital raised with US$52.6 billion, US$38.7 billion and US$29.0 billion raised respectively. China also led the way in terms of the number of listings with 209, ahead of Australia and the US with 189 and 178 IPOs respectively.

“The increased activity across the emerging markets stems from the growth of their economies and the ongoing globalization of the capital markets. This has seen the rise of new world-class financial centers, investors look further afield for investment opportunities, and the continuing trend of companies looking to list on domestic exchanges – almost all of the top 20 IPOs in 2007 went public in their home countries,” Gil Forer, Global Director of IPO Initiatives at Ernst & Young, said.

“The surge in IPO activity in China is a clear reflection of the growth in the Chinese economy and the confidence investors have about putting their money into China,” Forer said. “Conversely, some of the mature markets saw a drop in the number of IPOs in the second half of 2007, which could be attributed to the high volatility of the markets.”

Unsurprisingly, Asia-Pacific accounted for 46% of IPOs worldwide, ahead of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) with 35%, and North America with 14%. EMEA and Asia-Pacific have the greatest market share of capital raised with 38% and 32% respectively, eclipsing North America (16%) and Central & South America (14%).

The total share of the leading exchanges was down this year from 51% to 45% by number of listings, and from 72% to 58% by total capital raised. Despite accounting for only 4% of the total number of IPOs so far this year, HKSE was the leading exchange by capital raised, attracting a 13% market share, mainly due to having some of the year’s largest listings, including China CITIC Bank and China Railway.

NYSE was ranked second by capital raised (11%), attracting 3.6% of total listings driven by a number of large US deals, including Blackstone Group and MF Global. Although only 2% of IPOs through November listed on LSE, it attracted 10% of capital raised, mainly through a few large Russian deals, including VTB Bank and Pik Group.

“Despite ongoing market uncertainty, the pipeline of IPO-ready companies looking to list in 2008 looks healthy, especially across the emerging markets,” Forer concluded.

Pension Trustees’ Personal Assets at Risk, Says ACE

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The individual assets of pension fund trustees’ need greater protection according to ACE European Group (ACE) (NYSE:ACE). ACE believes many trustees face unnecessary risks through the focus on liability insurance cover for the company rather than the trustee themselves.

The Pension Act 2004 has already created a heightened risk that trustees may breach the increasingly complex responsibilities they face and consequently find their personal assets at risk. Some markets have removed forward cover for trustees where the sponsoring employer merges or is acquired or where the fund goes into run-off. The additional exposures this creates place an unacceptable burden on trustees.

Speaking at the launch of ACE Elite, a portfolio of liability products designed to provide more relevant and appropriate protection in addressing the increased exposure of individuals and their personal assets, Emma Watkins, Pension Trustee Liability (PTL) specialist and Product Manager at ACE said: “PTL insurance offers wide cover for the individual, sponsoring employer and the pension scheme itself. However, there is a risk that when insurers focus on providing cover for the company this can divert protection away from the individual, therefore exposing trustees to unnecessary risk.

“ACE Elite PTL adopts a more direct approach and backed up by our robust underwriting and pricing strategy, we aim to redress the balance for trustees.”

Nasdaq Accepts North American Scientific’s Plan for Continued Listing

CHATSWORTH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–North American Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq:NASI) today announced that it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) dated December 11, 2007 providing formal notice that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the Company’s request for a transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following exception:

  • On or before January 17, 2008, the Company shall inform the Panel that it has received funds sufficient to put it in compliance with the Capital Market shareholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million. Within four business days of the receipt of the funds, the Company shall make a public disclosure of receipt of the funds and file a Form 8-K with pro forma financial information indicating that it plans to report shareholders’ equity of $2.5 million or greater for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.
  • On or before January 31, 2008, the Company shall file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 which shall demonstrate shareholder’s equity of $2.5 million or greater.

The Company’s presentation and pro forma projections convinced the Panel that the fund raising activities being undertaken by the Company would allow it to regain compliance with the Global Market shareholder’s equity requirement within a reasonable period of time, and will also qualify the Company for listing on the Capital Market. While the launch of the Company’s new product, coupled with growth in sales of its core business, may also allow the Company to maintain compliance with Global Market standards over the longer term, the Company has requested a transfer to the Capital Market, where it need maintain only a $2.5 million shareholder equity minimum. The Panel agreed with the Company that a move to the Capital Market is a prudent move that would serve the Company and investors well.

The Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market is contingent upon the successful completion of an application and review process. That process will require the Company to file an application for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and pay any applicable fees by no later than December 18, 2007. In order to fully comply with the terms of this exception, the Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and gain approval of its listing application. In the event the Company is unable to do so, its securities may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Charter Named Operator of the Year by CableWorld Magazine

ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) today announced it has accepted recognition as Multi-System Operator (MSO) of the Year by CableWorld Magazine, a publication of Access Intelligence, LLC. The MSO of the Year cover story will appear in the December 17, 2007 edition of CableWorld magazine.

Charter’s Chief Technology Officer, Marwan Fawaz, accepted the award today at a luncheon in New York and said, “We are honored to receive such recognition. We have made significant strides in improving our operations, yet everyone in our organization understands there is much work to be done. This award helps affirm our belief that we are headed in the right direction.”

CableWorld cited a number of noteworthy accomplishments as rationale for choosing Charter to receive this recognition. Charter has addressed its nearest-term debt maturities; Charter has rapidly expanded its telephone footprint to take advantage of the triple-play offering; and Charter has developed a consistent, data-driven marketing plan.

Neil Smit, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charter, said, “This is a tremendous honor and it speaks to the efforts of over 16,000 Charter employees. At Charter we are focused on delivering a quality end-to-end customer experience and providing an exceptional value through the Charter Bundle. This focus has contributed to improving the Company’s performance and that is something of which all our employees should be proud.”

Charter Stock Price Nosedive

Charter Communications needs all the good news it can get!

I took an interest in Charter stock back in late October. Just around the time of the California wild fires Charter stock fell from the high $2.70’s down to $2 a share. I bought some shares expecting the price to go back up after the earnings report only to see it drop down to the low $1.20 range. OUCH!

Since that time Charter stock has struggled to gain any ground at all and even with its low price there have been many other stocks in the tech and telecom sectors that have shown themselves to be far more profitable (AT&T for one).

I think Charter will recover (at some point) I just do not see it being a worthwhile investment until mid-January at the earliest. Too much money is being spent on gadgets and tech toys to bother investing money in Charter. After all of the post-holiday profit reports come in I’ll cash out of the tech-toy stocks and look at Charter again.
