Yes 182p per share payable 16th Nov 17. that's the timetable but still not sure how long we would be given by new company to share a possible settlement if court awarded Imagination compensation.
So we will get the offer price of 182p for each share we own?
Agree-would like to see for once Apple taken to court. They have done this to so many other companies that have a close association with them.
Hi, Been on another share chat-no IMG will not be relisted as it becomes a private company owned by Canyon Bridge. Think the timescale is payment on 16th Nov. for all shareholders on record date ? 3rd Nov. (not sure when record date was).
IMG shares will no longer be traded and will not reappear.
? Is it due to re list?
Split on court settlement if any was mentioned in BB 1 Nov and mentions that it's in offer documentq. I guess if this was to happen they would go back to the company register as at last day of trading. To be honest I just want to see Apple Pay out big time on any claims made. They have caused Imagination to sell up pulling its contract and taking top staff. That aside another day nearer payout..........
So once the takeover goes through will it be relisted , pardon my ignorance :-(, and is there a timescale for this please anyone?
Think CB will look long and hard over claim against Apple. Hope that evidence is strong and in favour of Imagination. It would be so nice to see Apple have to pay out a large amount and partially.split it with the old shareholders. Makes you wonder how the Qualcomm situation will also end up and how long it will take for a decision. Probably end up as an undisclosed out of court payment! It's time Apple come down to earth and pay out Big time in both cases.
Have been reading about the fight between Qualcomm & Apple about patents & IP. Looks messy!!! Can see similarities of this with IMG if they follow up on a case against Apple. This is an interesting article on Bloomberg of Broadcom's bid for Qualcomm & its fight with Apple. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-06/broadcom-willing-to-go-hostile-to-win-105-billion-qualcomm-deal
Another day nearer pay date! Anyone still think CB will persue claim from Apple?
Not Sure if the +6m who bottled before final close remain on the register, I doubt it. But if they judged the risk too great that the deal would go pear shaped and it does, they will have done the right thing. Yes, little toes too.
SO quiet on the board now. I guess everyone has moved on. GLA in all their other ventures.
Very interesting - still buyers with NO future profit expectation from SP rise . . crossing fingers for an Apple cough up? 'Nice' from that viewpoint - yes, ALL late buyers are on the shareholder register! With +257m IMG shares in issue*, maybe in future you know who will pause for thought before again acting precipitously, maybe not! Yes, GLA, happy future boarding, keep everything crossed, and 'i's dotted ! [:-) The Fat lady is waiting in the wings . . *I wonder how a payout, if it happens will work as not all 257m shares are owned by investors?
Who would have believed it Apple actually told the truth ,and really didn't want imagination after all, But is it telling the truth about not infringing on imaginations IP , WELL we we see ,LOL !!!???
dfslicker, Final day and yes a very disappointing share price. Expected to see a higher price on buy backs. All So now it's boxes to be ticked and chequer sent to shareholders. Let's hope there's no more revelations from CB and this goes through without a hitch. Then it's relax and see how the court case unfolds. Not sure if BB will be kept open so GLA and thanks for previous messages and some clafication where needed.
Starman Yes NOT very Interesting day, down 0.25, all done and dusted now 1.82p is what it is. Just like to thank IMG for the money I have made, and good luck to you all with your new employer. Happy 2018
Thanks TB. Could be an interesting day in the market today. GL
The last day of dealings in imagination Is tomorrow closing at 4.30 and the shares are then formally suspended at 7.30 Friday morning and then anyone holding on to the shares on the 3rd of Nov the record of the scheme, will qualify for any possible pay out from Apple's possible settlement. It's all on that live RNS which most people will have already read and know. Tell you the truth I can't wait for this to be formalised and rubber stamped in case any more revelations come out about anyone else in canyon bridges LOL. And imagination executives probably feel the same way, thus the panic and moving dates forward to get this over the line.. As for Benjamin chow I just want to personally thank him for his low offer and I will send him a thank you card when he is locked up in a newyork prison. ? You would think in this day and age that Benjamin would be smart enough to avoid either way being caught so easily , the stockmarket is full of similar stories and all he had to do was to Google the subject matter , and supposedly he didn't make a cent from it ?? Where there's money there's temptation. I WISH IT HAD OF BEEN TRUMP charged . GLA LOL
As you say this does seem to be rush to get this all done and dusted. I would say that anyone on the register by certain date (not known) will be entitled to any potential payout, need advisors clarification on that if we win case. Remember Apple would only pay 90% as a major holder. Think these larger trades going through are buy backs to cover short positions. This may even push the price higher than the offer from CB. If I hear anything on record date I'll post on BB. Shame we didn't have any other serious contenders (Apple Arm or another) to out bid to force a better offer. Just hope we get a little extra out of this deal. GLA
There's a lot of confusion around several important points, and when you ring imagination for clarity, all you get is a constant automated reply I will ring you back if I can, leave your name and number. Very convenient for imagination to operate like this!!!. So many questions and to few answers so close to the end game. Seemingly it's not just canyon bridges that massive question marks hang over !!!???
From RNS... scheme record time 3rd NOVEMBER ? , am I right in thinking that everyone on imaginations share registar on this date qualifies for any share in the 50 per cent of any royalties coming from any settlement with Apple ? I would be grateful if anyone can clarify this for me one way or the other . Another thing Apple owned 10% of imagination and by not stating if it was in or out regarding a bid for imagination then any potential offers would have to reflect this with a reasonable offer ,or Apple would possibly step into the picture for imagination, IMHO IT would be fantastic if Apple paid out now, before it as usual has to have it dragged from its coffers. I'm staying in until the bitter end just for the chance of any sweetener of a settlement. GLA
Still questions to answer fellow shareholders: Closing of short positions in tight market. Why has Apple held onto its position. The court battle with Apple. Potential one-off payment to loyal shareholders. Think this will roll on for some time. Decided to now see it to the bitter end. GLA
Meeting information in RNS
Hi Thomas Browne, Thanks for the reassurance. It�s just one thing after another for IMG. Yes why hasn�t Apple said anything about it? Are they willing to take a loss on their investments-are they still shareholders? GLA
