i will call my contact at Pixmania a liar then, because what the press say and a so called member of MSE.

DSG are a shareholder and have no day to day dealings with Pixmania. if DSG become shareholders of any company they list them as one of their brands

Sort of like this you mean?

PIXmania has been growing its market positions across Europe while leveraging the benefits of being part of the Dixons Retail Group

So I am just imagining reading this?

they do not own a controlling stake (they have tried to get this, but so far failed), ive used Pixmania for many year. they are just a large shareholder .

eh?
But you were wrong - they DO own the controlling stake, therefore they DO own it - and we have proved this, have we not? (Simple yes no answer will suffice)

Nothing wrong with my reading - and there is certainly no need to resort to insults.

In April 2006, DSG International Plc, 2nd European and 3rd worldwide distributor of consumer electronics, became the major shareholder of the Pixmania group

Explain. Thanks.

The DSG has a large shareholding of pixmania.com, they do not have any shares in the pixmania group or pixmania-pro

Which makes absolutely no sense, so any remaining credibility to the author of this email has gone.

Pixmania.com is a site of Pixmania (as are many other sites). Pixmania's parent company is Fotovista - which DGSi owns

The DSG lists pixmania as one of their brands due the the amount of shares they hold in pixmania.com.

yes, like pretty much all of them

The DSG have no
say in the current day to day running of pixmania or any of its own brands

Never claimed they did - but they do own them - there is absolutely no question of that.

DSG's involvement will most likely focus around cost-price harmonisation more than anything (ie leverage joint buying power to get better prices).

i suppose those IDIOTS on MSE know more about pixmania than pixmania

Let's get this straight. You're taking the word of a call-centre operative over the all the firm evidence we've posted? The listings on DGS's corporate site, the information on Pixmania's own site, all the press reports on reputable sites?
Well, that's your choice - can't force you to believe something you don't want to believe.

I must point out though that your choice of language and general mannerisms really shows your level of maturity - I prey I never stumble upon your business.

major shareholder does not mean they own the business

you can have 49% and be classed as a major shareholder.

Don't argue semantics when the facts prove you wrong.
