Flipflop78... you're welcome. AAA now hold 39% of Sentiance so heading in the right direction in that regard. I'm still at a loss to knowing the state of the Court action. I'd like to think there will be some sort of conclusion within the next 12 months. I'd recommend checking in every 3 months to be on the safe side... or maybe 6 months!
Thanks Diabando.
Will check in again next month/year and see if anything has changed. Probably not.....
We can only hope that the AGM will give us something. Personally I'd like to see AAA relisted and then a RTO enabling Sentiance to list somewhere suitable like the NASDAQ.
As for the Court action I've lost track of who is suing who and even at what stage we're at.
Very quiet on the chat so just wondered if there were any opinions on next steps for this?

What would an EGM achieve ? A. It would be a chance for shareholders to take control of their investment and be better informed than the current operation. Why wouldn't AAA continue bigger stakes in Sentiance ? A. Seems perfectly logical. However the MO at the moment is issue as many shares as possible and punish the current shareholders. what will happen without an EGM ? I think we all know whats coming..
What will the EGM achieve? It's obvious they are wanting a bigger stake in Sentiance. But why? History of tech companies dictate Sentiance's day has come and gone. Is there something in the pipeline with Sentiance other than an App on a mobile phone? Would an EGM cast more light on what they are trying to achieve?
Theres no point in being a wall flower, the only one pushing for an EGM is Elliot Luther. Who's paying those legal fees ? Well it has been through Bonnier, should he burdern the whole bill (hes also a shareholder just like us) the reason - because he sees the value that this Coup is trying to whip away right from under the shareholders noses. The EGM was kiboshed by the AAA lawyers, saying it was only bonniers interests. A way to deflect his payment. So a better method is for other shareholders to unite and demand an EGM, if not this company is going only one direction (to the ether).

Absolute joker this lot. No mention of AAQUA, no mention of the missing £1m loaned to that p-rick, no mention of DEV or efforts to recover some of that and no mention of the court case against Candy. All while the BOD take a salary and bang on about Sentiance.
Maybe it will eventually evolve into something else? It might take a few years though.
I won't be partcipating in this latest fundraiser as there is not enough details of the overall plan. Not sure why. As investors took part in the last fundraiser, maybe they have an insight.
Aaa isn’t run normal anymore. It’s a company that’s been supported by Rosen, Candy and a few key players with vested interests to take the remaining meat from the rotten carcass. Sentiance hasn’t produced a valuation on what it’s really worth, its ideas were fresh 6 years ago. But AI has moved on, they missed their window of opportunity. There’s plenty of systems on the market with way more market share than Sentiance in the insurance space. This BOD are selling you an opportunity to fund their ceo life styles. They’re all dead wood, they’ve latched on to a no go business cos that’s what these type of dead wood BOD do. They talk crap, and no action men indeed. It’s now down to scamming the original investors so they too can participate in the promised land with their new HNW mates. Bonnier won’t go to court m, Candy is the man that’s bought this down and boom with it. Neither company will do well until one of them is gone. That’s not gonna happen til the judge decides what’s going to happen
Unbelievable... They've not replied to any emails that I've sent.. And they want more ££.. There is no way anyone's going to see a return on any investment here. If by any chance you're thinking of participating, don't.. Go put your ££ in somewhere else, this is a proper sihteshow, severe lack of communication from them except when getting the begging bowl out.
They should be spending their time and whatever ££ they have in getting Bonnier locked up!!!

The new BOD is hell bent on recovering value at whatever cost from AAA. Shareholders are now being unilaterally punished through dilution as the company attempts a path to recovery. Why such a low value ? Well that’s obvious, there’s certain large shareholders that the BOD don’t want along for this ride…. It is only for a the select few, the HNW that have organised the BOD coup some 18 months ago. Some of us didn’t even know this happened, and since then there’s been no news of anything but this fresh initiative to dilute over and over. Once the BOD have diluted everyone to death they will close shop and sell the assets of AAAC to a bidder, thats the pay day for the persons behind this coup. No one can stop this now, a request for an EGM has been dismissed on 2 occasions now, the latest by AAAC BOD and themselves discrediting the proposed new BOD, apparently they’re not towing the line of the new dilution objective. The company isn’t run by shareholders it’s by the BOD that have control. This is very peculiar as they claim to being only paid in shares, when we as shareholders we had to pay for them in advance. This BOD will come in a screw everything up for everyone involved but themselves and their close allies. Don’t be surprised that the placing has taken full offers, but the offer of a cash raise to old money is not taken up. Suggest you use your money and find out how to get your nose into the trough in a different way.

This is probably a stupid question but why would anyone join in the fundraising?
I must be missing something. If you can't trade in the shares then why would you..........?
Spare cash after the latest dilution. Not enough raised to take over Sentiance. Should have stayed a Tech Investment company and that way we could have sold out before they had to delist.
AAA have revamped their website. Is this a positive indication of progress afoot...who knows but why would you if all is not well.
It’s utter garbage the way shareholders are treated sometimes ,there seems very little regulation at all and timeframes for this should be set at 3 months maximum.

How can a company delist for an indefinite period of this duration and not be held accountable? I've got a lot tied up in this and like many for sure....answers and accountability needed from this lot!

Some pretty hard hitting truths there in CV accusations. This chap Bonnier and his wife are gallivanting around the world, certainly are not suffering unlike the many investors who lost their money and believed in his spiel. Bonniers claim that Candy cost him irreparable damage is complete BS as if he was a true businessman he would have kept the company Aaqua running using a Directors loan, but instead he chose to close the company and spend his money fighting a law suit that costs him millions a month. Eventually if his gamble pays off, and he even beats CVS, well the sour taste of victory will leave him and his missus high and dry. When everyone else would have lost. Aaa shouldn’t care and get on with business as usual, howver the fact that Bonnier and his wife are big shareholders in AAA will probably halt that progression. Just like boom has suffered with these toxic partners, AAA will collapse if it every relisted without resolve.
At least the court has ordered Bonnier to repay the £1.3M. Anyone know if he has appealed that ruling?
Doesn't seem promising...

It needed a tie up with one of the big players, hopefully that horse hasn't bolted.
To market Sentiance to all the insurers worldwide as an AI solution to monitor driving and learn it’s users driving behaviour. This information shall be used to drive down policy premiums, maybe even develop pay as you go, whilst at the same time focus user based ad campaigns to influence user life style choices. Well that’s what it should have and could have been, however after multiple years of doing next to no marketing Sentiance seem to be just good at the science and not the business development of the application. It’s fools gold that just burns through money with no published accounts. No one even knows what it’s worth.

The only hope the new BOD has to grab Sentience is to raise considerably more than a couple of million. Maybe Van Rosen is in the mix, however you’ve still got CV and Bonnier fighting in court. Until that is settled, I can’t see sentence as seeing any seriousness to a tabled offer, especially as they were backing and been introduced by Bonnier. Bonniers probably pulling out all the stops to prevent the new BOD (his hate group) getting a decent slice of sentience. Did you not see the new announcement of sentience into indonesia insurance business just lately ? Bonniers missus is Indonesian, would you think such a thing is coincidence? The story has a lot of twists and turns at the moment, 2 million will be just peed away in BOD fees, that’s why they got no news. They’ve just diluted shareholders value to keep them all happily engaged in the war of words…
No argument on the current situation…
I believe that the raise has completed. I suspect that there will be a RNS soon.
Surprise surprise, still no news out regarding share offering in particular, or anything else for that matter, criminal what these nuts get away with.
Candy may have been right after all.

Flip
share price on delisting was. 54p I sold some bout a month earlier at. 49p. sickening I know but who knows maybe there'll be a twist to this saga. Here's hoping.
Jup, I held 20k shares with HL and when delisted they sent me a share certificate as they said they won't hold any shares from delisted companies.
Don't know much about the why's and why mots, just that that's what happened to me.
Would love to see them back on the markets, was a very good share to have been involved with once, can't really complain really, ended up in through HASH >MESH>AAA, made a good couple of £ off it. Also think that Sentiance will come good with the progress being made there, but very long way to go before this SP relisted and anywhere near it's previous highs. Bonnie rand Candy got a lot to answer for here.
HL did notify me, the closing date was midday on the 8th. Should here how succesfull soon.
Thanks Wullie, depends what happens with Sentiance
Jup
HL won't deal with any company that has delisted, I held 20k shares with them at time of delist, they sent me a share certificate for them.
Only good for the bin now, I'd imagine
Hope this helps.
Good luck!!!

The annoying niggle is the reason they delisted was to change from an investment company to an IT company with the takeover of Sentiance. That never happened. There needs to be more regulation around delisting.
I for one am furious with this lot! How is it possible to suspending a company listing for so long without repercussions!? Am sure many like me here are angry having lost £thousands being unable to recoup or access their so-called "holding".
Thoughts anyone?

I'm just amazed that apparently so many high tech people working for so long produced so little. Is that even possible?
Aaqua was debugging their app, ready for their beta launch. Candy kai boshed the whole thing with his WWFO. Had they been given the time, Aaqua could have no doubt secured additional funding to keep going, but Candy crushed that ! Candy conflated the issue of Boom, AAA and Aaqua. Especially Boom, which then also collapsed. The complete loss of SHV across the board can only be attributed to one individual.
Nick Candy is equally to blame. Even his lawyers admitted he lied to secure the worldwide freezing order that killed AAQUA. All he had to do was see it out until launch and get his money back - the world is crying out for a new social media platform. Either way it is clear Rodger Sargent and the old Directors got caught drinking the Koolaid - loaning RB money directly without security, what were they thinking?!
Why don’t you say how you feel ?!

AAA have rearranged the Board of Directors and are out to join the witch hunt without any conclusion of the court case.
Extremely depressing.
Company update out this morning. It doesn’t make good reading! Good luck to all holders here, I fear it will be needed
Wish her well in her investigations but it won't help me get anything back from my investment. I am more interested in how Sentiance disentangle themselves from Aaqua. Where AAA sits in all this and what opportunities are in the pipeline.
Not sure whether anyone on this posting is aware that katie.prescott@thetimes.co.uk wrote an article in the Times last month on Bonnier and Aaqua. She is 'actively investigating' him and the circumstances around the collapse of the company.
She asks if any of us have contacted the FCA or complained to the company.....or what steps we have taken so far.
I have given her an anecdotal summary of what we have suffered in the past year.
Should anyone have the energy to engage her with a more forensic analysis, who knows where it just might lead.
