"I suspect it will languish low until at least midday on 8th when future direction is certain after vote. There is then at least a week where anyone who wants to invest at a substantial discount to placing can get in.
The placing is at a 320% premium to todays price. So what? you might say, well, it depends how serious Woodford and Wales (Concert party) are about absolute control:
If you read the circular re: proposals
http://www.spheremedical.com/sites/default/files/Circular%20220817%20FINAL.PDF
Pg 12
In the event the Whitewash Resolution is approved, the Concert Party will
not be restricted from making a general offer for the Company.
..ok, so why would they do that 'now' and not before funding proposals. Well it comes down to dates...
Part of the Woodford concert: OMNIS, last purchased shares 30th August 2016 @11p/share. Had the concert party made an offer before 31st Aug 2017, it would have to be at the highest price they paid in last 12 months i.e. 11p/share....and now they are restricted until the 8th Sept due to the need to highlight funding proposals.

OMNIS Bought: 30 August 2016 10,000 11p
Therefore, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the concert party simply make a general offer (e.g. at funding price or below) instead of dicking around with in market purchases after the 8th Sept. Just an idea.
