I think you are right 2025 will be a good year for BT. With the court case out of the way and the two billionaire’s investing in the company the only way is upwards.

Have a read of this article!

My understanding is, you either accept the offer or don’t elect, which to me implies rejection.

If the bidder gets over a specific threshold, I believe he can compel all other shareholders to sell, and I believe it would be on the same terms.

If you aren’t compelled to sell, eg he doesn’t reach the threshold hold for that, then you’d be a minority shareholder in a privately held entity, with a majority shareholder who doesn’t probably care about what you want. You’d find it potentially hard to sell as it’s not a listed company, you’d have to find someone interested in buying and then agree a price, which won’t be based on any share price as it’s not publicly listed.

Personally, opted to sell because it’s seems like more trouble than it’s worth, but there’s doesn’t seem to be much info on institutional whether they are holding or selling…

Convinced myself that as a small time retail investor I would not do well to stay in this, but it makes me sad as we held the shares to kind of keep it in public ownership. Also think the Royal Mail has been undervalued and I’m not sure I agree with the board’s recommendation.

I read it on the Hargreaves Landsdowne website a few months ago. I will try and find the article again for you.

There is an article in today’s Daily Mail read it. It states the following

‘If the deal were to be scuppered, the shares would fall sharply as a result.

The share price only picked up because of Daniel Kretinsky offer to buy Royal Mail. Stock Brokers say that if the offer is rejected then the share price will plummet if Kretinsky walks away. Thats what you have to be aware of, also people on here are saying they are not going to sell. If the deal goes through. Royal Mail will become a private company it will be delisted from the stock market and if that happens Kretinsky is under no obligation to purchase any other shares that might have been held on to. Therefore your shares would be worth nothing. That is how it was put to me. That why i traded them in a few weeks ago. The information was from the broker i traded with.

Bharti might make an offer for the company. Apparently he has held shares in BT for a number of years. Now this has been approved he might try and buy the company.

I sold my shares in Royal Mail and bought into Rolls Royce. I think i can get a good return from this company now.

Chances of the share price going beyond 3.70 is zero. Also if Kretinsky walks away the share price will plummet.

Indian tycoon Sunil Bharti Mittal given the green light to buy nearly a quarter of BT

No.

If you don’t accept the offer, then Kretinsky is under no obligation to buy your shares once the deal has gone through so your shares will be worth nothing. Thats how it was put to me.

There is more than one damaged look further afield you will see more. Who wants wind turbines blotting the landscape and pylon's. Better underground just common sense.

Given all the damage Storm Darragh has caused over the weekend, broken wind turbines, solar panels etc. It is obvious that the only way forward now is the development of the SMR’s and putting the cables underground.

Have a look at today’s Daily Mail are they broken wind turbines on the ground? Surely not it’s my imagination. There is old saying “Don’t tell your Granny how to suck eggs”.

As for operational, how long is a piece of string. With this government who knows. Once they get the go ahead it won’t take long and it will better for environment and the countryside in general.

Put the cables underground simple as that.

I doubt it they will be mangled metal on the ground. SMR’s are the way forward it doesn’t take much working out does it.

I missed out EX . Also to qualify you have to own the shares by the close of business on the 23rd of December. If you purchase on 24th you won’t qualify. Payment is in early February 2025.

Dividend day is only 19 days away from tomorrow.

Tomorrow it will, and will remain above £6 that’s my prediction. .
