they own 20% of the outstanding shares, so difficult, but voting against resolution number 8 will be a vote to remove them off the board. Darby needs to go and a ceo bought in who is not joined at the hip with nissin.

well done samson123. how many others are going to follow us. we need to show we are no pushovers to the ceo who thinks he is the almighty ruler of this company and wants to listen to no one.

darby has done a great job in eliminating private investors from HIS company, can't be many PI left, could even now be in single digits as a percentage of total shares. Rather then showing the company is improving he will continue to show this company is a zombie so he removes all PI investors and allow transfer to happen to his chosen few Remember to vote against darby before our vote is meaningless. This can easily go into low 30s, even lower. Doom is back and this normally means new lows about to be seen.

You should be able to contact the ISA provider and vote. Even in a nominee account voting is possible. don't allow the board to get away ignoring private investors. Writing to the institutional investors will help, just look at recent cases where boardroom pay was questioned.

if you feel like most that the board has not been working for the interest of small holders, then please vote against the following resolutions and also write or email to the follows major holders for them to back-up the common views held. 2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,16,17,18,19 remember the company is owned by shareholders and the board should be working for us. LET 20th July 2017 be out day when we take back control. Power to the small holders. Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd. Oasis Management Company Ltd Standard Life Investments (Holdings) Ltd Paulson & Co. Inc. Brandes Investment Partners Dimensional Fund Advisors, L.P

so the board has been freely allowed to wreck the share price, so that the starting point is as low as possible. how about using the 52 week high as the starting value i.e. 57p

published net debt at end of 2013 was £513.1m, profits page 12 below http://www.premierfoods.co.uk/getattachment/9d52c80a-e062-4576-a473-e3f4b20c1911/2103-Full-Year-Press-Release.aspx published net debt in April 2017 is £523.2 this is after paying no dividends, having a year where the pensions payments was just £6m, massively reduced profits. there is extra cost of latest refunding to add to the above. Darby is totally unaccountable, passing millions to his friends and lining up his own pockets.

just vote against this, also make yourself vocal at the agm. Darby has just created bad news to get the share price down, remember everything was running to schedule mid November, 2 months later, after a record December there was news of 10% fall in profits, what a convenient turn-around in misfortune. the board had an expensive xmas party knowing this will allow share price to drop so they can lock in nil paid options as low as possible, also allow his friends in the city to buy cheap shares ( scared PI selling up). Remember they paid out bonuses in December, why was this allowed to go through if the performance was poor

could he be about to replace darby or become chairman at premier food. https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/people/people-news/former-pizza-express-ceo-richard-hodgson-seeks-grocery-return/553484.article Richard Hodgson wants to return to the grocery sector after quitting as CEO of Pizza Express last week

your probably safe with tesco as darby is not involved, but the other failed clown director richard hodgson is available, so may head that way, having been rightly sacked by pizza express owner for 2 profit/sales warnings, about time he was removed from pfd board as well. Lost count how many times darby has failed to deliver and surprisingly still in his job.

so we have a ceo who has done nothing but to wreck the share price since he turned down the offer. now we see him is being rewarded bonuses twice over like there is no tomorrow. LTIP award for 2017/18 £1,400,000 nil cost options 3,444,034 shares darby works on a 2 year cycle, year one wreck the business, year two the claw back 1 % and award himself millions claiming it is his magic formula at work This cycle is then repeated, whilst shareholders loose consistently over this cycle.

we know all about his vocals, he just needs to be sacked

darby and his team want to make sure only they gain from this, they make sure the company does not show any growth, but is kept as a zombie. it will be interesting how oasis respond to this.

I will be voting against the following resolutions. 2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,16,17,18,19

looks like we have breached the 40p mark, so how low will this go. less and less free shares available for the market makers to get there hands on, so they will try to push this lower and lower until fear forces small holders to sell. With the destruction dream team at the helm led by darby, the market makers will have all the ammunition given on a plate. All the MM need to do is keep pushing, easy money for them. Premier has already said growth geared to the second half, this is code-word to say there is worse to come for 1st and 2nd quarter.

the top 6 holdings was listed in the annual report ( page 32) as of 16th may, so would not have included any rns since such as Merrill. just shows there can't be that many shares left that are can be traded as there must be a few large holders below 3% I remember an rns back in march where .Merrill went from 7.800% to no holdings, so assume this new holding by merrill will find a home with the big players such as oasis.

so much mentioned about market share growth in most brands growing 6 of 8 largest brands etc , in fact overall it is shrinking. Grocery 24.7% ( 2016 was 25.0%) Sweat Treats 23.1% ( 2016 was 23.6%)

so much for publishing market share growth for most which is very misleading as overall market share of branded goods has dropped 25.0% 24.7% 23.6% 23.1% Grocery Sweat Treats In addition, to reflect the importance of cost and efficiency savings we have introduced a new KPI based on SG&A costs (these are selling, general and administrative expenses) as a % of sales. Our KPI on product testing has also been updated to align with our target to ensure that at least 75% of new products we launch each year across our Grocery portfolio provide ‘better-for-you’ choices. This is one of our Commitments to Healthier Choices which we launched in 2016. Environmental and Health & Safety performance is reported in more detail in the section on our responsibilities on pages 18 and 19 and governance on page 28. How KPIs link to our strategy and business model SG&A as a % of Group underlying sales* SG&A represents the selling, general and administration costs of the central functions together with that of the Grocery, Sweet Treats, International and Knighton operating segments. 2016/17 8.8% (2015/16: 8.5%) % of products testing superior or at par with competitors Consumer panel blind testing of our major branded products against their main competitor, whether branded or non-branded. 2016/17 93% (2015/16: 95%) % of NPD to be 'betterfor-you' choices Sales value of new product launches with a claimable nutrition benefit, e.g. 'Source of fibre' as well as no red traffic light on front of pack within our Grocery portfolio. 2016/17 78% (2015/16: 66%) Progress we’ve made Overall market share fell during the year. In Grocery good progress was made in Quick meals, soups and Flavourings & seasonings offset by a weaker performance in Cooking sauces & accompaniments. Within Sweet Treats a strong performance from Cadbury was offset by softer sales from Mr Kipling. Progress we’ve made Over the year SG&A costs rose slightly reflecting investment in sales, marketing and product development resource. In January 2017 we announced a new cost saving and efficiency programme which is focused on SG&A costs and further manufacturing and procurement efficiency savings. This is targeted to deliver savings of £20m over the next two years. Progress we’ve made Overall performance was broadly in line with prior year. The review covered 73% of our branded portfolio (by retail sales value) as part of a two year rolling programme. We will continue to focus on consumer quality benchmarking and reformulate any products testing below par. Progress we’ve made Over the course of the period 78% of new product launches within our Grocery portfolio delivered a claimable nutritional benefit and none of these products were high in fat, saturated fat, sugar or salt (no red traffic light on front of pack). As one of our Commitments to Healthier Choices we h

debt to ebitda is now above just prior to the last rights issue, this is not including the added cost of recent debt raising. the debt to ebitda target for next 3-4 years is where the value was just after the last rights issue in 2014 i.e 3.0 the company has managed to increase debt ebitda by 33.33% since march 2014, now are saying this will take 3-4 years to get back to where it was in 2014.
