Had two false dawns so far, seen the RNS tick box, then made a nice cuppa settling down with expectation at desk ready to absorb warts and all, and its another damm delay. Doh, ..Bet I'm not alone in this reaction either.

Great find Toyin, fingers crossed for next week to end this current sorry state of affairs. Certainly dragging on now, expect we will look back and think just how so little took so long to sort out. Lets hope the cost isn't overly eye watering.

We are all in the same boat, however when the dust finally settles I don't believe many here will be disappointed. Stock has already underwritten the bad news so unless further revelations the only way is up, but without SA at the helm which many may say is another bonus.

Think peeps have to be mindful that the 700k loss is already written in and the reason the suspension price is 9p and not 19p as prior to the news. so unless further losses are revealed i dont expect further falls. Indeed I believe there is actually more upside than downside on the momentous occasion and the reason we hold instead of selling up which we all had ample opportunity to do, and for some of us with decent 5 fig profits.

I actually believe we will go nicely blue once news out and the chaff has been ousted.

This "temporary " suspension now closing in on two months. first week of June will be 2 full months.

Lets hope so Clio, time to put this whole sorry episode to bed and move on.

It might not be cash raise, possibly going after someone which investigations have revealed may have done something with shareholders money. By this I am talking fraud.

I would like to see an end of play RNS, so everyone has good opportunity to read up, as when trading starts again likely to be fireworks one way or another.

Also showing as 0.08p on interactive investor.

I'm certainly hoping for some decent transparency but do wonder if we will actually get link to the full report. Not sure whether it will include any payments to third parties promoting the stock and products and what they were.

My bet was this Thursday.

I believe this is a real major positive. If we look back in history there are multiple times when OPTI selling SBTX, has stopped share price rises dead in the water. SOH has also been a lame duck to SBTX second only to SA. Mind you SOH hasn't done loyal OPTI holders any good at all, and apart for initial brilliance in getting all the microbiome companies rolling , history will demonstrate that hes done nothing for his shareholders either.

Can recall lists of opti partners that were touted, (and touted is the right word), in being a 250k partner, a 500k partner and higher values than that, for ones with TATA, Never saw any factual figs against any company, they were quietly dropped.

The promise for OPTI holders having a special divi has long gone. I say good riddance to SOH.

Reposted from the opti board from kind poster Martinu, which says to me our big holders are after all the stock.

More useful info elicited using this facility.

Q. Noting the recent SBTX disposal announcement where 7,500,000 shares were sold leaving a residual holding of 5,700,000, which followed the Feb 2026 announcement that there was no current intention or necessity to sell any shares, can you please explain what led to the change of heart and when an additional 1,400,000 shares were sold post the 31st Dec 25 holding and how much money was raised from that transaction?

A. There were two key factors that influenced our position. The first was an approach a couple of weeks ago by a private buyer who wanted all the shares. . I initially turned down the request but they returned increasing the offer price. The second reason is the time from the SBTX first announcement. Given the time it has taken there may be more disclosers to come. I also noted he change in cash position from Feb (£2.92m) to March (£2.44m) with SBTX. I wanted to reduce our risk by selling some shares. I have to take a view as to the risks to our assets and taking some off the table now but leaving some behind in case of an upside post suspension is a good balance.

The shares were sold ‘off market’ and approved by the regulator. We are now funded through to Q2 next year with some upcoming launches from partners and SweetBiotix developing nicely - more to come on that shortly.

Yes Opti always needs cash but did SOH ask to sell or was he approached?? If the latter to go chasing stock on a suspended share says to me someone knows something bigger than the suspension. Clearly favourite is a Croda buy out, and would make sense as to why they would snap up suspended shares at suspension prices.

Good news for SBTX holders as SOH would have sold sooner or later, and regardless of buyer, gone to firmer hands.

In final stages...4 days,

released to board..2 days

board takes any advice if needed..3 days

release of report ..1 day

My bet is Thursday 14th May.

I just hope we get the RNS and perhaps a days grace before stock trading re commences.

(as long as the clown didn't screw it up)... Very valid point Bazz. I have had some concerns over the royalty payments and clearly recall SA saying that its double digit on the sale... Then towards the end of his "act", it became double digit of the ingredient cost."

We know lots of things can be done on costings of ingredients, especially where Zenakine only makes up 2% of the total. So in effect it could be double digits of 2%, of formulation.

I know Zenakine is a blockbuster product but did S.A. alter the initial agreement. Hopefully the investigation can provide investor clarity.

Yes mate they most certainly do, and in my book by a considerable margin as well.
