Aerostructures Hamble: crash landing
Article Abstract:
Aerostructures Hamble was floated in Jun 1994, and the price of the company's shares has dropped since then. A bid of 0.32 pounds sterling per share from EIS values the company at 25% of its flotation price, and the board is recommending acceptance. The company has reported a loss and could be pushed into receivership by the Bank of Scotland. Production mismanagement led to a rise in costs. The company's chief executive retired early with a pension of 40,000 pounds sterling annually in Oct 1994.
