BLV.L Share Price (BLV)

I guess this page will have disappeared (like the company) by next week, so farewell fellow "Beevers", enjoyed the ride whilst it lasted. Good luck with your future investments, whether they include TPFG or not. K

Mergers usually destroy shareholder value, it's well documented. Easy sell.

The market is starting to appreciate the value of the deal now, both BLV and TPFG sp's have recovered strongly after initial dips. I know very little about TPFG but I know they're getting an excellent business in BLV. Still haven't decided whether to hold my new TPFG shares or sell once the "merger" has completed though.

Chance for investors to hear directly from Gareth Samples and Dorian Gonsalves, respective CEOs of TPFG and Belvoir.

On 18 January 2024 at 4.30 p.m. (GMT), Gareth Samples (CEO of TPFG) and Dorian Gonsalves (CEO of Belvoir) will provide a presentation (the "Presentation") relating to proposed recommended all-share merger of TPFG and Belvoir (the "Merger") via Investor Meet Company.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement of the Merger, by TPFG and Belvoir on 10 January 2024 (the "Merger Announcement").

At this Presentation the benefits of the Merger envisaged by both CEOs will be summarised, including the reasons why the Merger should be attractive to TPFG and Belvoir Shareholders alike.

The Presentation will be open to, amongst others, all shareholders of TPFG and/or Belvoir. To access the Presentation, investors can sign up to Investor Meet Company for free using the following link:

Those who already follow TPFG or Belvoir on the Investor Meet Company platform will automatically be notified and invited.

If TPFG and Belvoir Shareholders wish to raise questions in advance of the Presentation, they can do so via their Investor Meet Company "dashboard" accessible through the links above. All questions must be submitted prior to the Presentation and must be received by no later than 9.00 a.m. (GMT) on 17 January 2024. To the extent that the TPFG and Belvoir CEOs are able, and in line with restrictions and obligations applying under the Takeover Code and under applicable law, they will endeavour to answers as many of those questions as possible, during the Presentation or after it. A recorded version of the Presentation and associated materials, will also subsequently be available (subject to certain restrictions relating to persons in Restricted Jurisdictions) via the respective websites of TPFG and Belvoir, until the end of the Offer Period, at www.propertyfranchise.co.uk and www.belvoirgroup.com/offer-for-Belvoir/.

BLV - a great company managed by great leaders. They were on my radar from 2021 but as is always the case I never built up a big enough position, with my first shares only being purchased last July below £2. Like everyone else I am sad to see this merger likely to go through, in particular not seeing mention of Dorian & Louise as being part of TPFG longer term.

For that reason above I sold out this morning with a 30% gain. Will it be a mistake? Time will tell, however I do not know anything about TPFG and I don't want the price fluctuations of them to impact BLV. I'll let things settle down, do my research and see if it will be worth re-entering.

Good luck all.

Perhaps there is more behind the scenes about who does and does not want this merger to happen.
