DoJ for your amusement I was not kidding when I said I had emailed them:-My Email to DoJFrom: ???Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2015 3:20 AMTo: ATR-Antitrust - InternetSubject: Arris - Pace TakeoverDear SirsI would be grateful if you would speed yourselves up with regards to this case!Since the announcement that Arris intended to takeover Pace PLC (UK) in April 2015 it has now dragged on for a ridiculous amount of time and the main reason has been because of your investigation into it.In the end you will give the 'Go ahead' for many reasons that are advantageous to the US, so just do it and stop wasting everybody time and money.I have been a shareholder in Pace for over 20 years and want closure on this now.I am very annoyed that the DoJ is putting the spanner in the works of what by relative standards is a minor deal compared to some of the massive $billion deals and takeovers going on right now.Turn your attention to them and leave Arris and Pace to get on with it.Unless of course this investigation is at the behest of some 3rd party who might benefit from this deal failing or being reduced......????RegardsTom Clancy (not my real name)------DoJ ReplyDear Concerned Citizen:Thank you for contacting the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. We have your information on file and should the legal staff need further information, they may contact you in the future.We appreciate your interest in the enforcement of federal antitrust laws.Sincerely,Citizen Complaint CenterAntitrust DivisionDepartment of Justice-------They must be be more crazy than me!!!!!If they thought I was serious.

Re: DoJ Probe Closed 1% means that approximately AKO have to purchase around 3 million shares back before this deal closes; that in itself should create more upward pressure on the share price. They may be under more pressure due to the DOJ announcement to buyback more quickly than they may have otherwise done. Interesting times.

Re: RNS from Morgan Stanley The sp has been going up over the last week which indicates some traders seem to know whats happening with Pace. Anyway the sp should move up with the Arris sp this afternoon and £4.50+ is possible soon, especially when the shorters realise that the deal is not going to fall through.

good news finally... Been holding and waiting ages like most and was kicking myself when i didnt sell when we touched £4.50 last time and although holding has been very frustrating with all the previous short activity it looks like we will finally be rewarded for our patience.Why did i add when we fell back to the £32.20-£3.50 range as looking back even without the merger going through we all believed we should of been a £4-£5 share.Anyone thinking of adding further now to maybe grab another 10% ??????

Re: DoJ Probe Closed xgxg you have been a credit to this board. Thanks for your input. I have taken note of what you and other people have said about selling now but for me I will see what happens in the next few days and then make a firm judgement. Now that clearance has been given from the DOJ do you know how long things may take from this point?Incidentally I think your last post was supposed to state "Votes please if you cannot stop smiling"Wouldn't want you getting upset because of a lack of votes. Lol.

Re: DoJ Probe Closed Fantastic news !! Am presuming that the "without condition" means that Arris now does NOT have to sell off any parts and that the deal once complete will now generate a company much bigger than the sum of the two !!!! "today announced that the DOJ has closed its investigation, without condition, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 for ARRIS's proposed acquisition of Pace plc."PACE 20% up and climbing now and I expect Arris will FLY this afternoon ! Finally the Sun Shines ! R.
