Dinoman - I got entirely what you want to do - you want to use your OO to buy into the ISA, even though you have no holding in your ISA. It was the OO I was referring to wanting to switch. Cannot be done. Interactive Investor sort of cover it (though the other way about "If your sub shares are held within an ISA account, please be aware that the sub shares are not transferable and therefore the facility to take this Offer up outside of an ISA account is unavailable.". Your ISA account and your Trading Account are independent and separate, rather than two halves of one whole. So NO transfer of entitlement is available - you either buy into your trading account or you don't.

Sorry Dinoman, I'd agree with Share Center's advice - you can certainly sell shares, but your ISA account is independant from the ordinary dealing one - I have shares in BOU in both an ISA and a trading, and I can only buy my holdings in each, cannot switch them. What you CAN do is after the shares go to trade is to "bed and isa" the holdings you have acquired.

I don't know, we need someone to lower the price when we may want to invest! Don't forget, the extra allocation isn't guaranteed even in part, so one way of increasing holding and lowering the average is to top up now on the open market.

if he was to have wanted to sell, it would have been before the OO announcement as he'd have got twice as much for his shares as he will now. But he doesn't want the money imho, he wants the company - which is what we want too! From the wording of the OO I wouldn't be surprised to find little or no extra allocation to most of us, but as we want one holder to have at least 30% of the company, that's to the good.

yours sounds right, and makes me glad I'm with II and not Halifax-it-up
II says:
OPTION 1: Do nothing (Default). Your subscription shares will lapse if you do not exercise them by our deadline date.
OPTION 2: Exercise your subscription shares in full or in part. Under the terms of the open offer, each subscription
share entitles you to 1 new share in Bould Opportunities plc at GBP0.000125 per share.
OPTION 3: If you have exercised all your subscription shares on option 2, you may also apply for additional shares.
Excess applications may be subject to scaling back. Refunds resulting from this are generally received back from the
company within 2 weeks

yes, but the key word in that bit is "ADDITIONAL". It's only the excess that is up for debate.

This is a much easier one as it's very clear - their are a few sections that clearly state it but "Once subscriptions by Qualifying Shareholders under their Basic Entitlements have been satisfied, the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, determine whether or not to meet any applications for Excess Entitlements in full or in part and no assurance can be given that applications by Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility will be met in full, in part or at all" - so, 100% of whatever basic allocation you apply for. And then all, some or even none of whatever is left. Interactive Investors form is also very easy to use as it has the the three boxes (do nothing, subscribe for some or all of entitlement, subscribe for extra) - so fill out one or two boxes as necessary with them.

I haven't, but if only all shares followed the same pattern! What happens to one could be totally different to another. At the moment, IMHO, this one has factored in the OO. It is waiting for news which will come after the meeting and THEN it will decide what should happen to the price - my guess obviously, but based on that I'd expect the price to remain (with a little movement either way) roughly where it is at present.

My crystal ball is sadly broken. BUT the market has already factored in the Open Offer (as far as I know) hence the reduction in price since then. But as the price is based on the availability of shares, and the wish to sell or buy, unless you have a working crystal ball or time machine, your guess is as good as mine.

Simple statement of fact imho. We are currently a cash shell, so have cash in the bank (and some more after the OO) but have no income stream and do have ongoing costs - so in the current position, the company is worth nothing in reality. However, there are strong indications that the company will do an RTO (hopefully in the relatively near future) and at that point, well, who knows. BUT of course always worth bearing in mind at the moment we are funding a non company!

anything that gets this share to show the value we thought it had when I first invested all those years ago is to the good.

whilst I'd love 3p, that's 100 times the CURRENT price. That would do WAY more than pay off my mortgage thats' for sure (I think I need a 6x increase from here to do that!)

Interesting - that's two days running a large trade shows up at the end of the day from the previous one. All good stuff!

that's an interesting one - I'd previously posted what I assumed to be the case that your entitlement was 100% of what you still held of what you had on the 30th (I'm sure there is a clearer way of putting that but still!). However, having read and re-read the RNS I cannot see that mentioned. It DOES mention what happens if you sell out completely, but not what happens if you sell some to fund a purchase (at least, not as far as my reading managed to determine). That said, I've got 100% of what I had on the 30th, I'm not selling, and I'm taking up 100% of my allocation.

question for them, but my GUESS would be they haven't, they simply have a process which has rounded up in error - then again, maybe they've worked out a nice little earner with all those little decimals.

about 10 days before you have the funds - 17th from memory is when the money needs to be in my II account

looking at the major holders, I would imagine the same could be the case with some of the other accounts - Interactive Investor is there as a nominee for example. As I cannot find the cash for more than 100% allocation, it's academic for me though.

Your entitlement is yours by right - and as a 1 for 1 offer, it won't run out. Any excess then goes to the oversubscribers, it's not clear how it gets allocated but presumably you will get at least SOME of your request. There will be some shareholders who don't want to take up the offer so their shares are available, and anyone who has sold out won't be able to join in so theirs are on offer too.

still horribly quiet!

I suspect the next couple of weeks will be a bit samey - bit up, bit down, until we get past the OO and meeting and reach the point (which I imagine will be after) of getting news. Till then, patience is called for. Anyone got a pack of cards?!
