1p when the next RNS hits
Thanks, hopefully very soon
There is no IF on the GM it will be a when.
Thanks, if we can get that GM arranged, Swannās vote approved and Callum back in, this could absolutely fly
I would imagine the GM called will be soon
Hard to say... I suppose the situation could take a while to resolve. The market seems to be in a holding pattern though...
Agree Bellers, Swanns' interests are very much aligned with ours which is why I am confident shareholders will be happy with the outcome. Callum will be back, it's just a matter of time.
Anyone have an idea on timescales for this fiasco being resolved or could it rumble on for months?
Iām hoping Mr Swanns 68 million shares has helped him āsuggestā who we put in as directors. He has 68 million reasons to get it correct. The good news is he has a definite vested interest in getting it right. The main thing for me is having Callum in to drive it forwards.
Agree with you buysellfred but sometimes you need to take immediate action and get rid of hostile, incompetent individuals before the virus spreads. While they stay the SP is only going to be going in one direction. I do agree that they need to be replaced by the correct people, but unfortunately we do not have the luxury of time.
Well aware of that....
the point is nobody knows of them..barely...
and what exactly will they bring to the table ??
it is ok just saying get rid of AR and TT...WE need a say in who to bring in too...not just a kneejerk reaction.
This is playing into the hands of a CHEAP hostile takeover.
Buysellfred, there is a high chance the two unknowns will refrain from running the business into bagel land like Russo and Taylor are doing. At this rate, us investors are just waiting for the dead cat to bounce if they remain on the board.
Aditya was non exec at aiq. Duncan stepped down and went onto āother thingsā.
Now they both seem set to be back together at Chill if all Swanns needs and want get voted for. So, 2 old colleagues back together by the invitation of Swann. Looks like a thickening plot to me.
As that RNS relating to AIQ was from 6 October 2022 I don't see how it has any relevance to the Chill.
It does feel though as though as if there is a struggle going on for control of Chill. It may be that Mr Swann converted his loan into shares in order to put himself in a position to requisition a general meeting. Whatever the case, as he is now a significant shareholder it is clearly in his best interests to see the share price head north. He must see great potential for the business or else he would not have invested so much. All this uncertainty is unsettling but the fact that folk are fighting over control of Chill suggests they think it is worth fighting for. I continue to hold.
Can you explain Bellers ?
Change
AIQ Limited (LSE: AIQ) announces that, with immediate effect, Graham Duncan is stepping down from the Board of AIQ to pursue other interests and Aditya Chathli, who has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company since January 2018, has assumed the role of Chairman. The Company also announces the appointment of Dwight Mighty as a Non-Executive Director, also with immediate effect.
Two old colleagues will be back together. The plot thickens.
Then I assume "someone" at head orifice will be making an unbiased statement, introducing said "as yet unknowns and their histories in vape sales" so we can vote on them. Last things we need are 2 clowns out, 2 clowns in....and Callum banging his head against the wall and departing...
This goes a lot deeper than most think ...
imo..
The 2 knowns are known for their complete mismanagement . The said unknowns will no doubt know how to RUN a fast moving packaged goods business
And replace with 2 unknowns ?!!!......
My biggest concern is that Russo and Taylor have no plan to align their interest with ours, as seen with the suspension of Callum.
As RKB mentions, we MUST be voting to remove them if we are to see positive change surrounding Chill Brands.
We need to rally at the upcoming AGM to ensure our voices are heard. As mentioned the Ā£6 million loss from the poorly judged finance loan highlights the incompetence of Russo and Taylor prior to Callum Summerton's impactful leadership. Their mismanagement not only threatens our investment but also the future of Chilled Brands. Callumās vision was bringing positive change, evident in the rising share price. His unwarranted suspension by Scott Thompson, influenced by Russo and Taylor, just shows the urgent need for change. Letās push for transparency and better governance at the AGM, aiming to align leadership with our interests and the companyās potential.
As someone who doesnāt post a lot on here I hope the fact I am indicates how much support shareholders actually have for Callum, heās making a ābrandā and an effective product/business from what was a pretty incoherent mess when he took over. RK &Bellers you both make a good point over the Ā£6m cost re the finance loan, just incompetent behaviourā¦this is very frustrating to shareholders who were watching Callumās vision coming together and the share price finally moving up too! Poor decisions that are clearly not about adding value! Letās hope this is resolved quickly and Callum comes backā¦.for all our sakes. :/
RKB, excellent posts. Callum gets my support and I have to say he gets the support of everyone I have spoken to that owns Chill shares. The quicker we get the GM the better. Letās get the vote out of the way, see Callum back to work and carrying on with building the company.
