RE: Proposed Placing to raise £5m07 Apr 2021 20:07
I've just read the Alliance News report, annoyed with the wording of it. The report makes it look as if the company is desperate for money, as the CEO bails out. Not a good look to PIs. For me the mm decided from opening that the price would be falling today. As an intended long term holder, downward movements over a few days don't bother me.
Will be interested though, to discover if the placing went to one party. In which case we will be getting an rns. Does the mm have a large order for more shares and needs to shake out smaller holders? If so, perhaps the CEO is aware of their interest. Their possible involvement in Beeks requiring the CEO to reduce holding below 50%. Was noteworthy how the new shares to be issued plus the shares sold by Gordon McArthur managed to push his holding below this mark. This is not a conspiracy, the company is on the up, analysts will have taken notice and made their predictions, time to become a major shareholder. Just a thought, doesn't make it true. If you have a different idea of what's going on let us know.
Regarding the dividend, it was offered last year, take it away now and it looks bad. As suggested the CEO is probably happy to get his slice of the pie, he has actually earned it.
