I have voted for JB4 Jun 2020 13:54
This whole thing has been a lesson in what can happen when the BoD and the major shareholder fall out. JB did not take advantage of the opportunities that his shareholding should have given him and seems to have willingly tied himself into an open ended agreement that restricts his normal rights and now he regrets it leaving him only with the threat to sell at 1% a day if the vote goes against him and we as the other shareholders vote in favour of the board. Taking to twitter has helped to decimate the SP costing himself around £1 billion, someone has already stated that you could not make this up. The Board seem to be totally out for themselves and have no regard for the shareholders as they lump us all in with JB. High salaries, large expense accounts, vast allowances and potentially dodgy share dealing are all bad enough but to me their greatest sin is to return after many months with an offer of 20.9p per share, equivalent to our cash balance and giving no value for a loan book, brand, market position, future prospects or experienced Established workforce. JB has proved he can build the business and if his ego is finally going to be of use to us then he has a lot to prove here - I think he could have handled things much better and I really hope he is now getting professional advice but I have voted in his favour online. HH has nailed it again, if you accept the 20.9p sell now and save yourself a lot of pain if you want/hope for more then vote for JB and hope that he is as honourable as he is stubborn and give him the chance to prove he has been right all along.
