RE: Demerger question26 Jan 2025 17:45
Something is happening, It's not just a coincidence that nearly all of the Governance concerns have now gone, with now being replaced by a large investor concern regarding MM and the conflict now having a vested interest between Ingenuity and Remainco.
We've seen the golden share disappear (much like GLA), Icon business park sold, the demerger of Ingenuity, main market FTSE 250 inclusion on the horizon (but will it get there in terms of qualifying or a part/full capital event beforehand), and MM reducing his Remainco holding, which may be a red herring, but I hope not as he appears weakened, and the II not taking up any additional Ingenuity percentage as far as we know, again they are big enough to not be affected by any MM Ingenuity dilution tactics and can hold their own if they see fit with a later investment in Ingenuity.
Therefore, is the plan with Selkirk, PE, or trade? Or a combination of both? MM has recently goaded the city, and I might add a broadside at PE or trade also. Games are no doubt afoot, and any stakeholder or prospective stakeholder will want the best (cheapest) price. The next 6 weeks should be interesting and all things being equal should see an uplift in SP reflecting the positions taken, or, about to be taken., and shorts not visibly increasing at this time. I hope current Institutional Investors ae aligned somewhat with PI's, but don't expect any favours. However, all stakeholders who aren't MM or his sycophants will I'm sure be tired of the whole debacle, I know I'm.
