I just bought 19,000 at 4.52p (4:05pm) via Hargreaves Lansdown - I expected it might be nearer 5p so worth getting a quote first.

Would be nice to think so but it does appear to drift south without news. However, pointless RNS' seem to cause as much damage as silence so I'm working on the assumption there is a plan and things take time. There's a lot of talk post-budget of transforming the way pensions are managed - individuals will need more guidance from advisors as greater freedom to manage one's pension will lead to an increased need for personal financial advice; I would hope this is TAVI's advantage.

If LSE 'delete' the old UBC ticket all previous RNS messages are available on the new 7Digital investor relations site at: [ http://about.7digital.com/investors ] Good luck to new and longer term holders. (I'll post similar on the new 7Digital BB)

It's been tough for those (me!) buying in over 6 months ago currently nursing a 50% drop as well as having our capital locked in suspension for so long. However, I think it's 7Digital that is providing the real leadership and has loads of top notch customers. Also, we've now got a major strengthening of the Board (see the RNS for details). Do have an uncomfortable feeling that this Reverse Takeover (RTO) feels more like having been taken from behind but if it all comes good over the next year I'll turn a blind eye; I'm quite obliging if the price is right!

Audioboom's (BOOM) RNS this morning announces the signing up of massive names, SKY and CBS Radio. BOOM's share price has jumped 10% - 15% on the news this morning. UBC/& Digital own almost 20% of Audioboo so by maths we should be up here by around 10% (based on our lower MC). Are my sums correct? If not, why don't we rise as major shareholders?

Mann123: On Monday, you suggested it would be 13p on Tuesday morning because of technical issues preventing trading. It didn't touch 13p so you said " the WHOLE week" is now lost due to sentiment. Presumably, you're on for a 13p start to next Monday once the sentiment issue has cleared, if so why is your message tagged "Strong Sell"? Surely, 100%+ potential gain in 6 days must at least qualify for a lukewarm buy! No?

CP22: Thanks for this. It's useful in going some way to clarify what turned out to be an extremely complex takeover. I for one was out of my depth with this deal as I bought in early in my investing / AIM career. It was a punt / 'rainbow chaser' so I didn't invest more than I could afford to lose. I bought a few Audioboom shares as well and will sit this one out. I'm hoping Imagination (IMG) with its PURE radio and Jongo wireless speaker systems can promote this whole radio/streaming,social network convergence that seems to be where things are heading. Better still, Google/Apple will snap up Audioboo!

I don't think we (as PIs) receive shares in Audioboom group. However, as investors with UBC/7Digital we now own approximately 19% of the shares in Audioboom. So, if they 'boom' we benefit through our enhanced asset (which, in the longer term might entail a dividend payment - from Audioboom to UBC/7Digital). Conversely, if Audioboom tank then we're heavily exposed to asset markdown. Has anyone thought whether Audioboom and UBC/7Digital might simply merge once all the reverse takeover stuff is sorted? I guess this must have been considered over the last few months

Thanks Trend for your postings, they help to make the 2 reverse takeovers covering 4 companies a bit easier to grasp. I bought into UBC back in the autumn to ride on the back of their Audioboo holding because I see it has potential to sit up there with You Tube, Twitter, Instagram etc. OK, being spoken / radio audio will limit the user base but I can see huge applications for example: short stories / bedtime kiddy stories / poets using it as a repository for their work / book publishers offering abridged and promotional spoken book excerpts and countless academic and educational uses - the list is endless. Also, don't forget 7digital (they're profitable and growing http://www.7digital.com/about ). They offer music purchase and streaming services.

I bought into UBC last autumn speculatively because I was attracted by their Audioboo holding. I think I might have chosen but to be honest I don't properly understand the machinations of a reverse takeover via a 3rd Party shell company!! I'm so confused but it does sound fairly positive from the tone of the RNS. How it will benefit us holders is unclear - anyone have any experience of this type of deal (positive or negative)?

Agreed. Another Commerzbank RNS at 5:32pm not shown on LSE [ http://www.investegate.co.uk/synety-group-plc--snty-/rns/holding-s--in-company/201404141732558077E/ ] now at 7.36% holding!

This morning my Hargreaves Lansdown share account showed the open offer (1 share for 32 held at 20 March). I have registered my interest for my full entitlement as well as an option to purchase more at the £2.50 each if the offer is undersubscribed though at a (current) discount of over 20% I doubt I'll get my hands on any! Deadline for action is 4th April with the vote on 9th April. Check your own accounts to see if you've received any correspondence. Hopefully, the placing and open offer will underpin some serious and sustainable growth for SNTY and us together.

Oh and P.S: LSE, why is the RNS not showing here, not even a red flasing light????? This is the text from FRiday 5:29pm: NOTE - remove the spaces after 'www.' and before 'investegate' http://www. investegate.co.uk/synety-group-plc/rns/holding-s--in-company/201403141729504022C/

Seconded! Thanks Wedoomed for pointing this out. I re- read their website's significant shareholders (over 3% holdings) and with Commerzbank snapping up another 1% I reckon less than 30% of shares are in circulation outside of the 'significant' holders so at over £3 per share they are in short supply and will rise (or fall) quickly on market sentiment. I placed a fill or kill over the weekend and doubled my holding which on paper at least has shown an almost 10% increase. I see this company growing steadily and most importantly, in the US market. Thanks again W

First thing: LSE, why aren't you showing the flashing red dot for the RNS???? Well guys, I'm confused and the news is revealing me as the novice investor I really am! It's the introduction of 3rd party One Delta that complicates it for me. I bought in towards the end of October '13 because of the potential value of the Audioboo holding so it seems my hunch was right but I've no idea whether this will work out financially for us shareholders. We've suffered a dilution in Audioboo holdings from 39% to 20% but that may turn out to be a price worth paying. Certainly, media coverage such as The Telegraph's will give it a high profile. Here's hoping we're in on a new Whattapp ready to be snapped up by a major such as Google, Facebook or Apple. Looks like we'll get a vote at that general meeting referred to in the RNS but I'll need more information. GLA

Thank you O&W for your take on the deal - your experience has made things easier to understand. Thanks also to pablo2 for raising the concerns over what is not a straightforward investment outcome. I too remain a little perplexed about the MEN dreamteam simply leaving (maybe shares will remain) as I'd thought we were buying into their skills and contacts for the longterm; time will tell.

Anyone out there? I had NARS on my watchlist for a few months and finally bought in yesterday on the news that they'd acquired Howard Basford's body repair services - all part of the acquistion strategy. Thought there would have been a significant rise yesterday but was surprised (and very happy) with 11% today. Anyone got any ideas other than the RNS why they've leapt today?

The 2 shareholders with 50m each I assume are the 100m shares referred to. Tried googling Fortified Bridge Assets SPC and Asia Cornerstone Fund SP with no luck so far. Was interested to see who's investing and are they in for the long haul as I'm hoping they're not interested in selling the new shares slowly for a quick profit. Anyone else shed any light?

APfreely, when you say an RTO will herald being 'joined by the big players' I hope that means serious mid/long term investors and not the rampers who bring their noisy, boorish cohorts along in the attempt to distort the sp for short term gain!

Hi All, I'm a novice investor so please make allowances for the 'novice' question: The RNS and this bb mentions an RTO (reverse takeover) but I understood this to be a takeover of a listed company by a non-listed company to obtain a backdoor entry to listed status without the conventional IPO. Am I missing something but MEN is already listed (I managed to buy shares in them!) so how does this definition fit with the MEN's proposed / speculated deals?
