Hi Al,

That's an interesting scenario and one that I'll leave to others who probably understand the dynamics better.

How are Mac sales in Scotland, btw?

Welcome,
Marc

Al the planned ARM NASDAQ offering was a surprise

ARM has $30 mln US in sales with 4 owners holding 35 mln shares:

" ARM's 35 million presently-issued shares are held by Acorn, 43%; Apple, 43%; VLSI, 7%; and NIF (Nippon Inv & Fin.), 7%. There are also employee options on an additional 8.8 million shares. "

A sample US market cap would be 2 X annual sales or $2./shr , but ARM is an emerging technology supplier whose 6 business units have formed development "partnerships" .

This link better describes ARM's "unusual" mission:

arm.com

If ARM retains a form of royalties through its development partners , who now includes INTC , this could be a "hot" issue priced to make even Dell look cheap .

If you could , please post a link to the 21 December 1997 Sunday Times article on ARM's planned offering .

Al, If they float it and sell new shares to the public but keep over 50% between them they will have iron control. If they sell so they only have 10% between them they the SH will run with it. I suspect they will sell some number of shares to raise money and still keep control, and sell more later if needed.
Any one have details on how many new shares are in the IPO?

Bill
