“The acquisition of Popular is a unique opportunity to accelerate our strategy in Spain and Portugal. We expect it will deliver excellent returns for the bank and its shareholders, while providing important stability for Popular’s customers and the Spanish economy. We expect the acquisition will enhance all our key financial performance measures for the Group from 2019 and beyond, generating a return on investment of 13-14% by 2020”

I have finally managed to sell 23000 Banco Santander Rights for £1736.50 that the message states is 7.55p per share. It has taken me three attempts, adjusting the price down slightly each time, but the money has arrived. It looks as though I will be much better off than I was, once I am allowed to purchase my new shares at £4.85. I feel this supports the grievances being voiced by those who had their rights sold over their heads for less than this. Selftrade arranged the sale for me but through another broker I think. I had so many rights to sell because I misunderstood one of the messages from Selftrade and bought ten times more than I could afford to redeem at £4.85.

As I have commented before , I bought my shares through Selftrade, now owned by Equiniti. I am still waiting to find out if I will actually be allowed to buy the 2886 shares that I now have the "rights to buy". Thank goodness my life is not dependent on my ISA hobby! How complicated can they make it? I have also offered the rights I cannot afford to make good back to the market and the trade is currently in the hands of a dealer, who is not Selftrade. I am asking 9.01p per right, do you think this is greedy, sensible or daft? I won't be offended whatever you reply. I am totally out of my depth trying to stay afloat in financial dealings I really don't quite get!

I'm sure you are right. It seems very complicated, which is why all my posts now seem quite ignorant.

The Phantom of Equiniti is here! Now I really am terrified, I assumed nobody was listening!

I have read three recent articles on the share rights issue.I found out how ignorant I was about how Santander shares are held. Most of the British shareholders came into ownership of the shares via the demutualisation of former building societies Alliance & Leicester and Abbey National, which later became part of Santander. Many British investors do not hold Santander shares directly - instead they are invested via CREST Deposit Interests (CDIs). Here is the clearestof the articles : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/shares/santander-rights-issue-everything-shareholders-need-know/ I hope my misunderstanding has not affected all those 1.4 million holders who cannot purchase too much.

When more people want to buy them. I think you should only buy on the quality of the company and it's likely future business. I have been buying shares for nearly twenty years and putting them in a share ISA. In all that time I have never found an AIM company that has made profits as quickly as SRON. The cash flows alone will ensure more growth, giving the company so many more options. I do not think they will need another cash input from shareholders, the way the cash is flowing they should be able to finance another well soon especially as they are going for pre-researched fields. At this stage growth is more important than dividends. Only my own amateur opinions...

Transforms Equiniti into a multinational share registration business delivering scale benefits: 1) Highly attractive entry point into the US: the largest, most active but consolidated share registration market with strong development opportunities for Equiniti 2) WFSS has a strong track record of organic growth and market share capture 3) Excellent strategic fit and direct core competency correlation between Equiniti and WFSS 4) Near term value opportunity from introduction of Equiniti's state-of-the-art Sirius platform to the US share registry market 5) Significant cost synergies anticipated ...The cash consideration and Equiniti's transaction expenses are expected to be financed from a planned £122 million (c.$160 million) 1 fully underwritten Rights Issue and £120 million (c.$155 million)1 fully underwritten new debt facilities. I think this is very exciting and fully intend to participate. What do others think? All this to purchase "WELLS FARGO'S SHARE REGISTRATION & SERVICES" the number 3 Wall Street brokers.

Good morning, good morning, to you!

I bought rights through Selftrade who I believe to be run by Equinit at 14:10 pm yesterday for 8.06p per right. The whole timing thing is a real problem and I think may be why you could not buy the rights. I am currently sitting here unsure as to whether my order requesting the exchange of rights for shares has gone through before 7am this Wednesday morning. If not I've lost £1000! I find the whole thing very confusing and am really grateful that Selftrade thought to warn me of the issue last week.

Lifted about 44%. One of my best buys and so reliable.

I have been looking up two past occasions when I have been offered a rights issue. On both occasions it was well worth my while and I profited.. However there are real questions about rights issues. This is a brief article that explains them clearly enough for my simple mind to digest. It is 2013 but the questions raised are even older than that: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-2412182/What-shareholders-rights-issue.html I remain confident that the Botin family would be careful to do the least harm possible to their company, whatever the government asked. Does that mean no harm...?

What do you all think about the rights issue this Monday? One rights issue share for every ten BNC shares held. The cost is £4.85 per new share, about a 6% discount on the price today.

I'm a little late posting this end of June update: http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/exchange-insight/company-news.html?fourWayKey=GB00BDCFP425GBGBXASQ1

Why is it that any AIM share I hold always seems to have a market of many ordinary, probably even ignorant, guys like myself but a few market makers that know in advance what the rest of us will find out in a few weeks. I think, hope, that this unprecedented new upward trend means that these few already know that there is good news on the way, so don't sell in dismay just yet.

This has told me more about EQN than any other source I have found. Fantastic results as well. http://streamstudio.world-television.com/CCUIv3/frameset.aspx?ticket=940-1283-18000&target=en-default-&status=ondemand&browser=ns-0-1-0-23-0&stream=flash-audio-32
