Could you post in what capacity the proposed directors are working with GW Pharmaceuticals as I am struggling on this? What are their current roles at GW Pharma?
I do not own any shares OCTP but its on my watch list.
Great news that they held and not sold. This will make the job of buying even harder for others as there is only 90m free float available (see post from em earlier in the week) and those have probably very few floating around. Given the next news as and when will rerate this. CIZ have confirmed to me they will update the website.

Yes the information my friend is off the CIZ website, but the date was the first thing I looked for and realising it was out of date I used the various recent holding updates and today's total voting right RNS to update all calculations. I have made the amendments to the holdings so they are up to scratch to my knowledge and calculations. The Finance Yorkshire holding has been adjusted accordingly to take into account their recent sales. I have added Conduit's holding into the list as well.
BTW your recent posts have been very helpful. Nice one will use in my own researching.

PLEASE DO NOT PRINT OR CAVE INTO DEMAND FROM OTHERS TO PRINT YOUR HOLDINGS HERE. I WOULD NOT ASK ANYONE THEIR BANK PIN NUMBER OR YOUR CARDS AT THE TABLE. VARIOUS PARTIES HAVE MOTIVES. NEVER FORGET THAT ESPECIALLY THE NEWBIES AND THOSE WHO THINK THEY SHOULD DO IT AS ITS ONLY A BIT OF FUN. TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE. DO NOT REVEAL YOUR HOLDINGS UNLESS ITS WITHIN THE LIST ABOVE.
Honestly Riseoftheporper? Short term above 4p. Long term, given that the deal of £300m per annum to CIZ cost free IF and that still an IF, is signed, that alone adds £1.08 to the bottom line per annum!.So long term I don't have a value as I will not need to ever sell this. This is if you were asking me my friend? Its a case of adding as and when you can which would be the better option.
Been here since the PSL days and been through the pain of the suspension etc like a few good people here. Now its finally paid off holding.
Sharebel its a guess if one does not research. There was no need for Nirland Limited to announce once they had gone uder 3%. They held 2,595,532 less than 3% announced 02.02.2022. On the same day a trade was announced after hours at 4.32pm for 2,595,532. It could be someone else, OR it could be them. The chances of someone selling externally the same exact number would be very coincidental. They are out but its not an issue given todays news.
Traders from 03 and 04 Feb are still settling up and the MM knows this and they are getting a fair price based on the buying then. Once cleared which will be by tomorrow evening, then I would think with confidence long term holders willing to hold for more than a year, will be adding once the herd have exited. The hangers on will also add and sell along the way and move on but with only 103m free float its going to get interesting this week.
No evidence of block seller. Last Seller announced they were under 3%. Next morning exactly to a share their 2.5m approx trade went through.
What is evidence and fact is traders are settling today and tomorrow on t trades done 7-8 days abo. Market knows it, intelligent buyers know it. Book needs cleaning up and once done, you are left with intense pressure upwards. To my estimation there is only 103m free float after significant holders are accounted for. Now you have 25m being added but not being sold.
So come end of the week it will be a personal shock if this is still sub 3p. Traders leaving from the same buy range 7-8 days ago today and being replaced by serious long term buyers. Stupid not to take advantage.
I have a theory but not facts. Going to see how events play out into next week and then I reply to you. Going to do a bit of number crunching over the weekend first as I could be totally down the wrong alley.
Thanks for the reply. I certainly don't think his 3.9m would make much of a difference and to be honest I have had a personal meeting with him 3 years ago which was interesting helpful and eye opening. He came across as someone dedicated to seeing BOU succeed so your guess was a little confusing.
Widglide, honestly feel for you being 90% down. I have been there and in a flash it turned into multiple profits, but had to go through 4 years of hell first. Hope this link helps. We are shareholders supporting a business, which sometimes comes into conflict. Maybe this link helps explain better?

widglide, I am sure there used to be a poster by the name of wideglide who used to post here ages ago? Very positive before it was suspended, whereas in respect to you its the opposite but I do respect your stance.
Can I ask what proof have you that Antos has sold please? "Antos walked away extremely happy and made a huge profit" As far as I can recall his holding dropped to around 1.5% or 3.9m (previous hold was 1.96bn before 500-1 consolidation). Since 5m was sold in one hit yesterday and the price hardly flinched today, what difference does his 'selling' or presence make to you? You mentioned it so I am curious. Thanks.
Just for the record:
Debuted on 09.02.2021, with the market cap of around £32.8m, and had 2.229bn shares at 1.475p.
Current market cap is based today’s price of about 1.8p and with 2.682bn shares around £47.7m.
During the year it recorded a high of 9.25p, which at one point shot the market cap to around £206m.
The shares are mostly driven by retail investors, who have a tendency to hold short term, and there has been no real record of significant holders. Therefore the price action reflects exactly what you would expect from a retail driven stock. Its volatile! Its slow torture! Its predicted to never recover!
As results are due soon, that could all change, and recently the trading has shown signs that the stock has been accumulated (see Mid Dec to Mid Jan) and that retail are being driven to the edge of desperation. A few said you cannot gain any evidence that charts tell anything. It certainly cannot predict price movement going forward, but what it can evidently show is the pattern of price behaviour, which right now is going lower. It’s being driven lower because retail sell in droves more than long term buyers accumulate. The fact that is has been nothing but a straight line down for six months is more evidence that this has been retail to blame.
Initial market cap of £32.8m V current £47.7m with results on the way? Retail are again making the classic continuous mistakes. No proof results will be good or bad right but right now retail are in the driving seat and they are driving it over the edge of a cliff and convincing themselves it’s all bad.
Capital raised, contracts signed though incestuous in some cases, and in an industry likely to explode upwards, it’s going to be interesting.
NOTE to retail: Biggest ever mistake. Invested in VMP in 2010, price kept dropping for 4 years, invested all the way from 3p down to 0.04p! held 5m or 1% of the company, losses were life changing, the negativity immense, the calls to get out from others rising each day. Robbers! Thiefs! Roll on 2014 just wanted my money back, sold for £30000 when it bagged multiples, and walked away with profits. Thank God I was out. Roll on 2022 VMP is REAT and my holding would have been £175000! Now who is laughing?
You can ilsten to soothsayers the ones who don’t research properly, they are your best friends and they will keep you poor and convince you from the 10 minutes they have held to get out while you can.
Thank you Magoo and hopefully you will not have to wait 2 years my friend. Confident this will come to fruitation very soon.
Jones2810 excellent thanks for posting the reply from Peter, appreciated. He has not broken any rules, as I can confirm that BOU had a PR team acting on behalf of Dr Allan Syms., chairman. This was to stop all the insulting, panic riddled emails that he kept getting. If you come across professionally and friendly you get help. Example of one of the replies I received was:
"Let’s hope so and hopefully the next email you get from me will be attaching an announcement, which with a fair wind looks like next week now." That was March 2021. Bould returned as Cizzle on May 2021. 13 months after cancellation on AIM. People can think I made that up, fair enough, but I am withholding my name and the PR MD's name, for security purposes.
I should have also added that during that suspension period the level of secrecy, confidentiality and abiding by the rules by Bould and those associated (PR marketing) was second to none. It was handled in hindsight very well with no leaks to destroy the deal. You get the same here with SPC. The posters who are impatient remind me of similar at BOU. They have all disappeared since and the same will happen here. Yes it was frustrating but some of those who are getting personal are doing it because of their own behaviour and characteristic patterns. They are not helping the cause. Patience is waiting over 2 years and now having the investment back. On the face of it I do not believe SPC will be the same. It will complete. Good on Jay and co for not revealing what they cannot and destroy the deal.
This website is offcially pants! They can remove this post, but I am absolutely determine to get it it done for the fourth time of asking through all the ads, and crashes asking for 'reload the page.' Even after telling them they say change browser! As I type advert after advert turns up and even though I run software to minimise it, its still causing issues,
OK for the record, I had bought on AIM, PSL in Jan 2019, In April 2019 PSL became a cash shell, Bould Opportunities PLC with the aim of seeking out a suitable RTO target. In Oct 2019 it was delisted as the target was not completed and due to the rules on AIM and also FCA dithering the deadline was not achieved. While delisted the FCA continued to delay the issues, needing more clarification, and then COVID kicked in March 2020. In April 2020 it was cancelled off AIM. 577 days later a target was announced and Bould came back as Cizzle Biotechnology PLC on the LSE MAIN MARKET.
Believe me it was painful waiting and having the money tied up but due to the lack of knowledge from the FCA on what BOU were trying to achieve and then a backlog because of Covid. Still holding although not posting as very little on the news right now but confident. I am comparing it with SPC because its mirror imaging that situation.
Very confident despite what Peter Jay has said it will return. He has only said it will be cancelled off AIM as that was the question asked, The requirement is to get it on the Main Market which is the real goal. The issue I am confident is with the FCA.
LSE please get the ad bombardment issues sorted!
Well said Philmcccrotch. Its just short of knowing what time the poster in question got up and what was for breakfast? but its getting there! Once or twice OK, but to make it a personal blog, that's something else. Anyways hope this helps.

Gary Cohn-backed Spac to take lottery operator public in $9.3bn listing
A blank cheque company backed by Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs president and Trump administration adviser, plans to take a group bidding to run the UK’s National Lottery public in a $9.3bn listing on Wall Street.
Steady positive progress, all round. Funding sorted and looking forward to a great 2022.
This is how I have read it as well. That ratification is only to approve and validate what has been already been issued. However they are also asking for consideration to approve the possibility of issuing further shares to the amount of 10% of the total. That does not mean they are going to be issued but simply a mechanism available if need be.
The concern is that should that be triggered early, say within the next few months, then if there has been no significant improvements up till then like pending deals, alarms bells will be ringing. I am involved in another stock on the NASDAQ which has successfully raised over 10 times and is sitting on a massive pile of cash that should it be closed tomorrow it would pay back 100% on the holding. It also has smartly been buying other competitors with cash. So its now down to MXC to start the PR machine and get updates out. Otherwise it will begin to look like nothing has changed from the past, and that they raise cash, make promises and keep kicking the can down the road, The other concern is most of the companies they seem to be dealing with gives the impression that there is an incestuous culture. A lot of crossover to companies where the directors names also appear.
Willing to give them a little more time, otherwise any holding can be deployed sensibly elsewhere. Code red has not been triggered yet, but getting a little concerned.
