I think it's poor form that they haven't even booked and publicised a date for this year. The later they leave it, the harder it is for investors with commitment to make the time to be present. A cynical person might say that that's the point.
A plc must hold a general meeting (which can be deemed an agm) within 6 months of its year end

Hi Lord
Where does one go to submit questions for the presentation?
Https://www.optibiotix-ir.com/content/investors/financial-calendar
With this in mind, I thought about looking for when the AGM is. I've never been to one but his ability to pick and choose questions for the presentation made me think that perhaps a robust attendance from shareholders would help let him know where feelings and thoughts lie.
SOH has always leaned heavily on the claim that he builds businesses, and as such isn't focused on the share price. That was fair enough at the time but 10 years down the line, we are way beyond being a start up and should be holding our own now and enjoying the fruits of our patience.
When I looked at our Financial Calendar above though, there are no dates for 2024 on it. This seems odd. Shouldn't there be a date for the AGM now or at least some dates for 2024?
Never bothered him in the past and don't see it bothering him now
he's had 10 years experience of obfuscation and missed targets, especially revenue, together with missed deadlines and other announcements which painted a more rosy expectation than that which actually transpired and so far this year and late last year nowt seems to have changed imo
keep the family salaries rolling boys

AquaeSulis01 - they're going to wish they'd never done this Investor Meet session by the time we've all finished with them!
It'll be interesting to see how many (if any) of our tougher questions they actually address.
Three questions submitted by me:
I am a regular purchaser of H&B SlimExpert Golden Syrup Porridge, frustrated by the recent prolonged stockouts and limited availability online and instore, I thought I would look at Kellogg's equivalent sachets but was horrified at the Sugar content once semi skinned milk was added (H&B already includes semi-skimmed milk powder so is made with added water). The kellogg's variety contains only half the fibre too. ( Comparisons are; Kellogg’s Sugar - 15g, Fibre 2.6g, carbs 33g, salt 0.33g H&B Sugar - 3.2g, Fibre 4.5g, carbs 15g, salt 0.19g). Despite this, Kellogg's Oat So Simple range for 2022 was the third most popular Cereal with over 5M Consumers in the UK, so mindful of Optibiotix sweetbiotix engagement with kellogg’s, why have you been unsuccessful in persuading such a big Customer to incorporate slimbiome in their products?
When can we expect to hear the outcome from the Wellbiome Project that commenced Q3 2023 under Dr james Hobkirk at Hull who was testing the effects of Wellbiome on cardiac surgical outcomes following a pre-operative 6 week nutritional intervention?
The final 2022 results RNS stated that “We are in discussions with two US partners who are interested in purchasing WellBiome® with a potential US launch planned for Q4 2023. The new projects would incorporate WellBiome in a final product for healthy aging and hydration” so does the decision to rebrand Wellbiome announced in the H1 2023 results RNS following “A competitor analysis for Wellbiome® that indicated value in a change in positioning from healthy ageing to gut and digestive health to allow us to attract more customers. “ mean these deals are now dead in the water?
I hope it's not a rehash of this!!

Lord, excellent questions and absolutely they deserve an answer. Otherwise I shall suggest Tom Winnifrith puts Opti on his danger list rather than his tips list...
I've submitted a couple of fairly hard-hitting questions, so it'll be interesting to see if either is answered.
One relates to when Opti will actually make an operating profit (ignoring gains from share spin offs) & why a dilutive placing was chosen over further sales of spin off shares in March 2024 (presumably because SBTX & PBTX were both trading so low at the time!)
My other question is about SOH's infamous projected customer turnover bands (remember his forecasts several years ago?). I believe he grouped our then customer base into bands. From memory, these ranged from projected annual sales of £100K + each, up to a band with forecast annual sales of £500K + per customer. My question is why - 5 or more years on - group turnover has fallen way short of the value these projections suggested & whether the latest figures will show enough has been done to address this.
I look forward to this. I generally can't attend due to work but appreciate the feedback on here from posters. Will also catch the YouTube after.

It would be very helpful to have a similar presentation this year - especially as Graham now in position - prior to year end audited results generally late May/June
