Thanks Stoney, that’s interesting news! Hopefully all
Will be revealed soon!
Morning Thoth, out of interest do you think there is anything of interest in the fact that February 13, 2020 Polar Capital Holdings plc to Acquire FPA’s International Value and World Value Strategies. Polar is London based and has a Biotechnology Fund. They state “ Investment Philosophy. The Fund Manager is looking to invest in cutting-edge medical innovation where they believe the stock market is under-appreciating a company's potential to transform medical practice should one of its new drugs, devices or research tools be successfully developed and commercialised.“.
Hi Simon
I would presume it’s after June 2020 as one of the posts on the thread below indicates that SAR were not on the list of investments in June. Certainly safe to say some of the large volumes recently were FPA buying.
Question is - how many did they actually acquire? Is it more than the 62 million?

Does anybody know when FPA started building their holding in SAR?
Thank you Sir too much Stella and Vodka last night me thinks a little sulky. Hope your Cruiser is being built right now in Sareums plans.

Bluedreamer. You are a valued contributor. Dont get put off
USA I believe is one of the four countries that don't need to issue a TR1 as their own market control for info is quite rigurous, but what do I know don't want to get lamblasted again for not sticking to the Sareum plan.
Good Find Thoth, the wheels on Sareum's cart have been turning slowing for far to long now. Lets hope the team can really pull of some eye watering deals before any wheels start falling off!
Finally being taken seriously by an institution is fantastic news.
Enjoy the weather this weekend everyone :)
Great work and great news Thoth, just woke up from nights and very happy with that, shows a lot of confidence in company
Excellent find Thoth- many happy returns chaps.
It was that price for half an hour and only hopkirk that i know of manage to sell at around 4....the real top was really 2.5 from a selling point of view and tim himself sold some there but he did say that in an interview for sure as i remember watching or reading it quite a few times back in the day.
Its long past anyway because we only had 1.2m shares in issue at the time and the company is in a much stronger position now so lets hope theres interest and if a battle commences...skys the limit, thats the dream:)
You'd think Stephen Parker, after a great sigh of relief, would be shouting this from the rooftops!
CFP don't ever remember him saying that! The price WAS 4p in 2011 (4.6p in fact), no sign of anyone wanting to sell out at that stage. As someone pointed out earlier, it's not in his gift to sell the company, which is owned by the shareholders, and 4p isn't going to cut it for most LTH's here!
Different market cap to then meant to say...and who knows what a bid would bring.
Lets have a bit of news
Strangely enough, he did say in 11 or 12 that he would accept 4p then....it would be a bit of a different market then to now but im hoping hes thinking more 6 or 7.
I would love the big numbers as much as the next one but this is real life and we have a fair number of shares in issue so i will be happy with what they get as long as its decent.
Come t&j.....its been a long hard road and we are due a little break soon.
Nice spot Thoth wonder if they are still adding TR1 this month certainly something has grabbed their attention
Hedge fund based in LA

Woohoo. Found one of our mystery buyers
"First Pacific Advisers" New entry on the SAR shareolders list who acquired 62m shares
https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/profile?s=SAR:LSE
BOOOM!
Agree with you, Searle. apart from the price. We could easily be at 5p with milestones and licences for TYK2. Not even factoring Aurora and COVID into that. I would hope that Tim and the board get us to that point before even considering selling.
Zylo - that's a bit harsh. I would say Searl is one of the more considered and informed posters on this board. It balances out all the BOOM!! posts.
The reason for the silence is we are a back street passenger on SRA737. All we can do is watch. We can't negotiate our milestone payment and SAR will only be able to comment when they get the go-ahead to comment. Tim has reiterated this on multiple occasions. The long-termers should know this. and Finally, as far as i'm aware, the trial is still running? I'm not sure will get a milestone payment until it ends and we have a data readout. Just take Sierras recent news as another step taken in the right direction.
Silence Is Golden lets see if bigger things are afoot GLA
They normally comment on Sierra releases fairly quickly - my take on this ( and i am probably wrong .. sod's law) is that they are awaiting clarification and approval to mention the $150M note, as if the comment without mention we will bombard them for poor PR and if they do comment with an invalid reference it might give something away to the market ... so for me definitely background activities underway ... but what do i know
