Member Info for antsoldier

Thank you Tomolo89. Can I ask where you found this info? I would like to read up on this. Will that also apply to the shares which say unavailable? they will also be acquired by DK but I would recieve the full value tax free from him for those shares?

i am caught in this one too. i have all my shares bought through the scheme with e*****i. if i was too sell through them now how does the tax piece work. i have three types some free to seel, some locked in and some conditional. i have tried looking through all the help sections and can't see how this will work if i sell up?

Not seen this guy before is this worth watching? valuble information? I am aware I should always do my own research but should this be part of it? from a newbie?

I have managed to buy a few small buys through 212 but some of them sat for days without going through, despite checking on the trades and seeing many had gone through whilst mine was waiting

And this is why I have been picking up more and averaging down whilst the price has been this low, can't complain. just be patient and keep picking some up each month whilst I can

No. Feels like it has gone down

Anyone else more than a little concerned by this lack of information

Is this still a good buy? what is the general consensus on this one? having done a little research into the company it all looks like good news, which begs the question why the SP is so low on this? anyway I have picked up a few and will keep an eye on it maybe pick up a few more along the way

What happens if shareholders reject the offer? How many would need to reject it for it to be

knocked back?

• The offer needs to be accepted by not less than 75% of the voting shares in IDS and shares

already held by the bidder (around 27% of IDS shares) count towards this acceptance threshold.

• If the company were to delist, any remaining shareholders would be ‘minority’ shareholders and

would need to trade their shares privately in the future.

• The bidder has confirmed that, if it receives acceptances in respect of 90% or more of the shares

not held by Vesa (an affiliate of EP Group), it plans to compulsory purchase the remaining 10% of

the company shares as it is able to do as a matter of law.

Scenario if 75% - 90% of shares are accepted

· IDS is expected to be delisted from the London Stock Exchange and re-registered as a private limited company.

· Any shareholders who have not accepted the offer will become shareholders in a private company and it will be difficult for them to sell their shares in the future.

Scenario if 90% or more shares are accepted

· EP Group will have the right to compulsorily purchase the remaining shares at the same offer price.

· For shareholders who have not already accepted the offer, this means that their shares would be compulsorily purchased.

This is not how I understood it. If you do not accept but enough do so the deal goes through yours will get compulsory bought. That is how I understood it. I also did not accept as I believe the offer is far too low

How will this affect TGR? will they share in the new growth here?

does anyone have a link? is this confirmed he has got a majority 'no' vote? i hope so i think the offer was a low ball and a complete **** take! no way i was voting yes for 370p

It is a no from me, far too cheap. Pound a share below value in my humble opinion

Given the amount of negative posting but yet people are still here I am interested in the general feel on this. I am small time investor and quite new but I have bought in small holding here on whim. Won't be buying in more untill I see some positive reliable news. Wanted a one liner from people. Are you a buy, sell or hold on this one and why?

Good chance to top up and bring your average down, we all know this share is worth much more, plus a dividend coming. I will happily take these lows for now

Might not be today or tomorrow but . . . . I can see 180 coming round again before the gains start, nothing seems to be stopping this downwards trend, I am hoping that is the stronghold and will reverse the downwards spiral

Half the posts here are seeing this as good news and looking forward to the SP growing in the next few months/years with mention of it breaking the 100p and half the posts here are doom and gloom and the SP will be droping, even mention of 35p! Looking at the SP today and the buy vs sells the market is similarly confused too!

Jockos - Thank you that makes sense now

As a newbie to all this and shareholder with a tiny amount of VOD shares can any point me to a simple explanation or explain to me what this buyback will look like to me or how this works? what will actually happen?
