And that was written when the mid price was 545.

Stupid comment...but it appears to be levelling.

Stand still, that share price! I assume that someone knows something as opposed to this just being a tree shake. GLA.

Every share I've invested in on bid rumours has subsequently announced that a deal has not been reached! (Well almost). But I'm sure EZJ will buck this trend!

Expected payment date: by 14 July 2026

Agreed; but it shows that they have more than just a passing interest in aviation.

And looking at their web site, surely they should be called Castle Loch?

Castlelake L.P. (“Castlelake”), a global alternative investment manager specializing in asset-based investing with over 20 years of experience in aircraft investing, leasing and servicing, today announced it has completed the financing of a loan to Virgin Atlantic Airways (“Virgin Atlantic”). The loan is secured by approximately $400 million in assets, including one Airbus A350-1000 aircraft and nine Rolls Royce Trent engines. (Jan 2025).

“We are pleased to grow our partnership with Virgin Atlantic and provide financing options to support their continued momentum,” said Chris Buckley, Partner and Aviation Chief Commercial Officer at Castlelake. “As the airline industry continues to see increased demand, Castlelake looks forward to remaining an active investor and providing attractive capital solutions to businesses across the sector.”

Since its inception in 2005, Castlelake has invested over $21 billion in aviation opportunities, acquired more than 650 aircraft and developed relationships with approximately 200 airlines. Recently, Castlelake announced that it secured commitments for over $1 billion of aviation financing in a term loan facility to support its continued investment in and acquisition of in-demand aviation assets.

BLUF...haven't heard that term since working with our overseas cousins!

Why BLUF? Because most American documents are over 20 pages long and contain no real value, apart from the bottom line!

I still remember sitting at one of his internet cafes in Charing Cross and was aware of a person standing behind me. It was him looking on proudly that someone was using one of his many services.

I just wonder whether the Board and Stelios are tempting Castlelake (who the heck are they) to do the bulk of the work and to come up with a revised price; then pull the deal but use that figure as an initial starting point for other suitors.

2 July. Ovver that hurdle and then hopefully back to Tone's buy price!

Bought a house? There appears to be upward movement in the housing sector!

Surely it always has been until the potential buyer does their due diligence then scarpers?

I sold Friday afternoon!

Yep. If he ruins the party, 340 again. If he keeps his trap shut 400p plus. I am awaiting with hods of cash tomorrow to top up.

Those clever Germans. Feed their cattle with magnetic feedstuff from old batteries and herd them at milking time with a huge magnet!

Satisfaction garanteed!

Thanks very mjch for letting ms get in at such a low price. Sweet!

Well done Cardinal

Chumba also 59!

I'm so underwater currently, but have just topped up. A fool or a mystic? In Tone we trust!

She goes. Director buying?

A few large buys going through; 0.45 being paid. Clearly some Chinese Whispers out there.
