As Dunder says...gotta keep this in perspective. I applied for £55k I think. Got 28% yeh that doesn’t mean I’m permanently crippled or scarred for life. But my broker insists they were never contacted and asked for sub-accounts. I will follow this up on Monday. If they were not asked for sub accounts then they bear no resonsibility of any type. In order to implement the RNS you would have to ask every single nominee broker for sub accounts. My broker H/L says they were not adked ( trie or not).If they were not asked then that is a Link /Trin failure. If they were asked the I am going to tear H/L to shreds.

Old man here again ...... Yes each call is recorded. They will be redressing. But they did explain to me that they were not asked to identify applicants applying for more than £10k. So Link only gave them enough to satisfy ONE &10k applicant. Sorry but I still see this as being an issue outside brokers. Link-Trin issue. GO should not be eating humble pie. If he wishes to retract offensiveness then that is his business.But this is not broker error.. RNS came out after applications were submitted of course. How could they let Link lnow how many customers had applied for £10k. Not brokers’ fault. Wrong to say so. How could they let Link lnow if they were not asked how many applied above £10k?? Yes lazy brokers with my experiencec BUTIf they didn’t receive adequate info in time and hence and not enpugh shares then wtf can they do?? They don’t have enpugh shares. Sorry this is a Link-Trin issue. Not a lazy broker issue. I’ll have to let it go in the end but responsibility due where it is due. Don’t shoot the messenger ( broker).

others should be sharing your humble pie though

Pleased for you but that makes me feel worse. My kids only got 28% and effectively lost money bybpartaking. I lost much more. Iniquity here. Sorry...but this remains a screw-up ..lawyers or mot. RNS worthless promise. That compounds the error if some brokers were allocated full allocation. H/L 28% after the 11 phone calls I made post RNS and pre-allocation promising £10k. Can’t see how anyone could see this as anything but an avoidable screw-up. I spent 9 hrs on phone -11phone calls- to check it was going to be handled kosher I did my bit. I wish someone would admit error. It is plain as plain could be. We all have to move on.of course .albeit with chip on shoulder as the Grinch. Very very sad about the whole thing even if far worse things happen. Needs closure

Tracy never deserves anything but respect. She is honourable and highly trustworthy. End . Re brokers. H/L WILL give out details of shareholders holdings and names of individual holders. Corporate actiions told me this personally yesterday. They have done so many times. They were not asked to. They are also at fault though as they assured me many times that I would receive the £10k. Mess up all round. But they do gove out shareholders’ holdings details if asked. They were not. But they get things wrong too. Ultimately it is the RNS which is in effect worthless as it is of no value. Promise all the kids in the playground an ice-cream and then say” sorry...we’ve only got one cornet” Tracy is as good as it gets. Has held Trin ( and me) together. Once we had nothing. And we have had dark dark times.I love her for it. And I certainly believe nothing was intended. I have spoken to her and emailed. But an error is an error. It doesn’t change that. I view it as such but will have to move on. We all have to move on no matter what. If nothing will be done then that is a failure too. Failure No.2 But it is how it is. Nothing was ever intended by Trin. But an error IS an error. Shame no counter action to rectify . But so be it.

Dunder. Sorry maye. Didn’t know about your back. Gorgot actually ‘cos you did mention it once. So sorry. Hope you are as good as can be after such an ordeal. I have many screws that have put me back together all over my body too. One loose up top. Still some people not received shares. Curious how H/L allocate 28% and others 35% . How do Link justify that? Don’t het it. But had enough of it all now. Experienced enough instit. incompetence this week to last me a while ( HSBC and Barclays and mortgage brokers too.) . Get on with another day. Dunder. Well done mate. Keep on trucking. I was 60 last Weds btw

Yes. Totally. Regrettable for me too as the joint longest holder here. Farce.But we have our own choices from here. Up to us what we do. Stay silent / complain. Buy/sell. Go and have big bowl of ice cream . “Whose life is it anyway?” Interesting film btw

Hey you only get oit what unput in ( re. exercise). Age is no barrier. I am prob much older than you. Never ever too late to start. I’ve had more than my “fair share” of pain in life. All relative of course. I don’l live in Syria or Libya. But suffering makes me work hardee at life. With others it can do the opposie of course or have alll sorts of outcomes. Never evertoo late to lok after the temple which is your body. None of my business of course. Re. Trin....IMO fault is in hands of Link but they were not supervised nor informed correctly and the RNS is worthless.

Things move on regardless. Without fair closure loyalty and faith in duty of care can be perhaps ittevocably damaged. Some of us have been here 5 yrs. Some large shareholders were offered placed shares at 15p . Money for nothing. Things will move on no matter what. But sour tastes can be left. As Esmerelda said ..one rule for one..,, Trin values all stakeholders in theory. The placement and subscription do not bear this out and sour tastes and tarnishments can be left. Moving on happens anyway. Emotional closure may not. Fingers can be burned. Far worse things are happening right now in the world ,. but fairness is a diamond to be cut and repolished if necessary. This can be ignored and left by Trin yes. But it would be a turning away from responsibility and fairness. The offered ice cream has been snatched away. No-one will starve but trust can be damaged. There is enough ineptitude in the world. Trin should not display same. Fairness is a powerful powerful thing. It leaves trust or scars.

But don’t think MM’s will permit that.

Yes of course. Illogical to call it misselling after the event. Just my expression for falsity in reality. I and my family applied for over 350,000 shares. Ended up with 98000. That’s 28% where some other brokers offered 35% !! WTF? We tailswallowed and sold at between 15.5 and 16p . I didn’t expect 28% by any measure. There is an argument for caveat vendor/emptor in that there was risk. Ok yes. One should take responsibility where due. I chose. But the issue is actually a false rns shareholder promise which was not fulfilled I feel I have to take responsibility for inherent risk. I feelTrin should take resonsibility for failed promise. It is easy to moan but responsibility for own action ( self or company or anyone in any walk of life) is important. Trin should rectify failed promise.. I should admit I trusted the subscription too readily and invested too much. I have paid for that error . On the old pound note it used to say” I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of....” So should Trin. Esmerelda...yes...there are indeed other places to put the returned cash...definitely! I am looking at one or two. Namely one.Not AIM

This negates the RNS. Placees do well. Rare rare individual shareholders ( a handful?) do well who knew the system perhaps? To the rest of us the £10k is a fairytale which could not be fulfilled as each broker is treated as the ONE shareholder. Why promise each real shareholder £10k ? False promise.”Misselling”!

You are totally accurate in your explanation of what has happened. This is likely to have an alienating effect on loyal shareholders( like myself) who applied in good faith. I and my 2 sons were due £10k each plus 28% of the balance. We got a “ pittance”. 28% of the whole. I wish I had never persuaded my sons to tailswallow. We have all lost quite a lot.

Appallingly handled. Manaca you will get your shares Monday. Maybe £10k maybe portion. This whole process has been a joke

did not screw you over. Link will not have sent them enough shares. Daggers out on Monday. I may even go to Beckenham and occupy their office. done that before. Not AJ Bell's fault.Link are outrageous....just keep u hanging on the line.I encourage others screwed over to complain to Trin and Link. You are more likely to have success with trin I feel.

Oops Should read £38K worth of shares

I have been screwed as well. I applied for 340K of shares by tailswallowing. hargreaves have only given me 28%.
I am sick
I have phoned link......who just kept me hanging...cenkos who denied involvement...and Trinity who said that Brokers were choosing to ado what they want with the shares.
H/L told me that Link did not give them enough shares to fulfil £10K per customer who applied for that much. Utterly outrageous. a joke.
trin told me that each nominee broker chooses to allocate % and ignore or not the £10K. H/L said they had no choice as they only received 28% of the applied for shares. The rest was in cash.
What an utter ****up.
H/L says Link treated them as one shareholder receiving £10K.WTF? rest was allocated as 28% to everyone else.
Just an utter *** up.
(I just lost the mortgage with HSBC but they finally admitted fault and are compensating. I don't care about the comp ..just that my fighting won out in the end. Apart from son's mortgage...not forthcoming) same applies here. More stress and more incompetence. but it muct be addressed. Shareholders are not getting their £10K. I and my kids only got 28% of what was applied for. Utter utter full-blown *** up. this needs to be addressed . I will and have and will continue to . Spoken to Trin today...they said it was choice of noimnee broker. Nominee broker (H/L ) said they had no choice. They did have no choice. Link only sent them 28% of shares applied for. What a f***ing week.

Did you own shares already?

I’m optimistic too ( and that tales a lot!). My optimism is based on debt-free/ cash-rich/high profit margin/huge assets and potential/stability of oil demand and price -regardless of Trump tariffs/econo-politico stability/deep undervaluation/ sharp management/etc etc. And more. I’m not as hope ful as you and others re. SPT. Gonna be honest. And hope I am wrong . I have deep mistrust of politicians and figurines at the top. But even with no reform..OMG is this undervalued! 16p last March with govt and debt overhang. 16 p in July with zero debt and more cash in bank-albeit 25% diluted. Better than 30% dilute with no cash ( CLN realization) Just have to sit and wait indefinitely. Hard ( for me) but the only way.

Ahead of myself too. Bit as yet no Q2 results. My imagination wonders whether there is new information within . Speculation. I know that M and A activity is rife amongst cheap and profitable oil and gas at the moment. My imagination toys with Trin’s sale potential. Maybe just imagination but was mentioned last September in presentation. Who would want to buy a firm with debt?? Why not market yourself as debt-free??? Speculation.
