Reported to Fca yesterday, told HL that they had my money and I want it back...same excuse blaming it on HSBC.
Although I have attempted to read up and understand how Shorters operate I remain confused so I very much rely on comments here from more experienxced investors than myself.
Obviously, we do not know if and when we will receive our shares but I am wondering when we shall see a reduction in the "16 million shares naked short term" and what effect it will have on the share price.
Unfortunately, I shall be unable to watch the presentation next Tuesday when I expect some important questions will be asked and discussed so, please, if anyone is able to place interesting points on here it will be appreciated greatly.
Thanks for pushing!
Good result to get a reply!
I’m guessing they cant deliver because of the 16 million shares naked short from 19 October done in desperation to push the SP down on that good news day.
I hope HSBC weren’t involved in that disgusting manipulation.
Will keep pushing- that’s me
Received the same message. HSBC failed to deliver and gave no reason why 27/10. For what’s it worth and as a HSBC account holder I emailed the HSBC head honcho and Cc’d the CEO and CFO of HL.
Got a reply from HL this pm from their CEO liaison.
Apparently Dan Olley is aware and they are now liaising with their contacts at Director level within HSBC to investigate this further. Will keep pushing
I agree. Did you hear back from them?
As HL acting as a broker don't give us our shares and try blaming someone else I personally will be taking them to court.
Just heard from HL.
Received shares in DRS form. Have to go through a 3rd party which is HSBC. Tried on the 27th October but HSBC rejected it with no explanation. HL have asked for an explanation. HL saying not their fault. If it gets transferred from HSBC goes to crest then tradable. Thoughts?
Think you’re slightly underplaying this! He bought 5.7% of the company!!
Nice. Hopefully all brokers will have received or will shortly be receiving the shares.
Just noticed a filing on Friday night saying that a Laurence E Hirsch has acquired 900,000 shares. A search on him shows that he owns private equity firm Highlander Partners. Hopefully this is a sign that word is spreading about Spectral AI and we will build momentum with some big buyers coming in.

Yes my message is the same from AJ Bell
Thanks for the update. Have a message from AJ Bell too. Will check it🙂
Update from AJ Bell. They have now received the DRS statements from the American transfer agent (Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company) and are now in the process of depositing the statements with their overseas custodian. Once that is complete the shares will be transferred into the UK settlement system, CREST, to allow electronic trading.
Good that things are moving. Sensing that there is going to a big surge upward in the share price coming some time soon.
Have a good weekend all.
With Q3 results scheduled for Monday 13th November and a call the day after it will be good to hear updates on the company's progress but also maybe some updates around the listing transaction and how they see that playing out.
Thanks for getting in touch with Spectral. I reiterate what you said this journey would be so much harder with the people on this board. Thanks to everyone for sharing and let's hope we come out the other end soon
Totally agree. It's been a great community here. It has made things a lot easier with the sharing of information. It's definitely been a unique and unpleasant experience and it has been much easier to get through with the help of the board. It's a good company and I believe it will eventually realise it's true value. The senior leadership team are even in Saudi Arabia promoting the company as we speak. Saudi Arabia has a huge potential diabetic foot ulcer market.
Hopefully the shorting won't last much longer. When this stock reverses it should be explosive.
Short volume yesterday again was 52% of all trades. When will this let up?

@NIInvestor - appreciate your (and others on here) considered and insightful posts. This is not where we hoped to be at this point and I'm still baffled as to how it happened, but at least the posts are dealing with the issues and sharing insight and experience which is actually quite a welcome distraction from the thought of waving £25k goodbye!!
I have sent a similar message to Spectral even though I have my shares now, just to make sure they are aware that there are multiple shareholders who are compromised by the handling of this issue.
It could very well be Continental and Stock Transfer and Trust Company. I've seen that name mentioned a few times. They didn't tell me the name. However, today I also have written to investor relations at Spectral AI, praising them for the operational work they are doing, but mentioned that UK shareholders have not received their shares yet and that I believe this has left the market open to illegal activity resulting in the current stock price being shockingly undervalued. I mentioned AJ Bell's message and asked them who the American Transfer Agent is and if any pressure was being put on them to come up with an answer regarding the significant delay. Still awaiting a response.
NIInvestor, is the transfer company Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company?
Although when I spoke with IG they told me the broker (Citi) was the issue and causing delays, a famous evil naked shorter.
Thanks for this. Very confusing. Seems like they are just repeating the same information as in the original filings?
Why file this info again now?
Anyone please let me know if I'm missing something.
• 8,433,231 warrants at $11.5, those won’t be exercised at this low SP
• 8,623,081 IPO shares purchased at $10, won’t be sold now at a huge loss
• 880,000 founder shares bought at $0.004, these are the only ones that can be sold now for profit (if they can even sell now?)
The table on page 7 which contains these figures is confusing. I assume the figures in brackets are a potential loss (ie negative figures). So the worrying sounding text saying SP will go down if many holders sell seems overstated as practically anyone listed if they sell would do so at a huge loss currently.
Please correct me if I mis-understood anything.
I also got an update from AJ Bell after pressurising them. They are saying that they still haven't received shares from the American transfer agent. They go on to say about what will happen after that and do mention that this process is "lengthy and extensive and is greatly reliant on the internal processes of our third party partners". So I feel it will take an absolute age. That's after someone there telling me that the shares were in my account last week! Does anybody know who this American transfer agent is?

New filing. The education continues. Does anybody know the impact of this? I initially assumed it is good as the shares will be bought at $11.50 on exercise of warrants. However, they do state that if the current stock price is below the exercise price of $11.50 they do not believe shareholders will exercise their warrants.
Thank you, Medjed, very interesting and disturbing reading. Could it be that we might lose our full investment?
Here is another article I found, makes for very worrying reading. Lets hope in our case they will be forced to close one way or another and fairly soon. Its an old article but is after the SHO was brought in and it had no ability to stop it.
