'What if some interested party doesnt want them to reveal it ? '

I think that happened in a 1970's sitcom... I have the transcript;

House buyer to CJ character: “Oh how we LOVE your house!! Just what we have been looking for, for literally decades :-) But we don’t want to commit just yet... You wouldn’t mind taking it off the market though would you? Fab, that’s SO sporting of you. Toodle pip!”.

Someone on here once wrote that, like driving past a petrol station on a journey, a CEO will always top-up if they can. I get that.

But to imply that CC is topping-up at a garage within sight of the destiantion (and free petrol) flies in the face of common sense.

Pedro, it's actually completely bleedin' obvious what I wrote... You don't have to be a friend of wyn to see that.

It's another case of what would be the point of posting when no one is going to change their mind. Nevertheless it's obvious that even if seller is in a 'fire sale', if there's a queue of people begging to buy, the seller could command a high price.

If CC had thought she had a super-strong hand then why make the raise? The very fact of a raise implies she wasn't ready and wasn't expecting to be ready 'shortly'; we just don't know by how far she wasn't ready.

Cospiracy theory? She could be delaying, implying a weaker hand than she has, in order to do us all a favour and we can buy more at a low price.

Doggy, is your real name Alan?

'NYX opens at 9:30am.....14:30 in London.'

Yes, but news seems to come out at 7am local time so if there's news on my $XXX it's on yahoo soon after 12pm here.

'9am reveal in San Diego is 5pm in London'

Vertizea, son, might other companies presenting there reveal their results on New York time, ie 12pm UK. AVCT might want to fall in with them? (Possible if unlikely I admit.)

Hope your holiday is going well Wyn :-)

How was the trip to London Thompi? Hot, obviously..

Touk, someone (“I forget the words” is a clue) on here is desperate to find someone who drinks more than him. Well done for not falling into the trap of trying to make him feel better about his own habit. Lots of cover right now for someone drinking when there’s football being played.

And while Met is about, and possibly others, 'extending life expectancy—measured via Overall Survival (OS)—is the gold-standard trial endpoint in oncology and life-extension studies'. 'Religious people live four years longer than atheists, study finds'

Not sure if you have to believe everything they say ; maybe attendance is all you need so I could be ok.

Thanks Pedro

(I think my Mac was temporarily just as shocked as me that Thompi is staying in a hotel to attend the AGM. Surely someone would have put him up?!)

'It works. It's you.'

Thanks Vertizea, son, you're right it must have been a glitch with me. Now seen. 'It works' indeed.

Sadly that link doesn't work for me. Others too?

'No results for "#AVCT"

Try searching for something else, or check your Search settings to see if they’re protecting you from potentially sensitive content.'

'CC said stay tuned about fast track doubt she'd say that if it hadn't been applied for'

I applaud the savings she'll make on RNS fees with simple "stay tuned" statements going forward :-)

Should have thought of this a while ago; just told Temple bikes about the Brompton collaboration though maybe they'd already know.

Temple (premium brand) bikes based in Bristol.

'if someone owns 34% of a public company on nasdaq what can they do?' (question to Google AI)

Owning 34% of a public company on Nasdaq gives a single investor de facto "negative control" over the company. They can effectively block major corporate actions (such as mergers, acquisitions, or charter amendments), influence board decisions, and potentially trigger hostile takeovers or buyout negotiations.

A 34% shareholder can execute several specific actions:

1. Influence or Block Corporate Decisions

Block Special Resolutions: In corporate law, major actions like amending the articles of incorporation, authorizing stock buybacks, or executing a merger usually require a supermajority vote (often 66.6% or 75%). A 34% stake easily blocks these. [1, 2]

Push for Board Representation: With over a third of the voting power, this investor can demand seats on the Board of Directors. They can either appoint themselves or nominate representatives to directly influence management.

Veto Board Actions: If the company's bylaws require a supermajority of the board or shareholders for specific moves, this shareholder can act as a permanent check against the rest of the board.

2. Initiate or Force a Buyout

Launch a Tender Offer: The investor can attempt to acquire the rest of the outstanding shares directly from the public to take the company private. [1, 2]

Force a Sale: If the investor is an activist or a competitor, their large stake can compel the board to seek a buyer or merge with a larger company to maximize value. [1, 2]

Block a Sale: If another entity attempts to acquire the company, this investor can either block the sale outright or demand to negotiate a premium for their massive block. [1]

3. Trigger Regulatory and Exchange Rules

SEC Disclosures: The SEC requires any investor acquiring more than 5% of a public company's stock to file detailed reports (like Schedule 13D for activist control or Schedule 13G for passive investors). Crossing 34% requires continuous and transparent updates on intentions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Nasdaq "Change of Control": Nasdaq rules treat any large stock issuance that impacts control (often crossing 20%) very strictly. While 34% is already high, any new acquisition or dilution by the company might trigger shareholder approval requirements on Nasdaq. [1, 2]

4. Monetize the Stake

Block or Access Secondary Offerings: If the company needs to raise capital by issuing new shares, the shareholder can leverage their position or vote to protect their equity from dilution.

Liquidate or Hedge: The investor can sell shares in the open market, or leverage the stock by borrowing against its value, as long as it does not violate SEC insider trading law

'An atheist zealot is someone who exhibits extreme, uncompromising passion in promoting atheism or attacking religion. While atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods, a "zealot" for any cause is characterised by dogmatic, rigid views and aggressive behaviour toward dissenters.'

Sound familiar?

Met, you don’t have to look very hard to find horrors perpetrated by people, mainly men, in the name of religion.

Open goal there.

Of course you could take the communist route and ban religion completely and then everyone would be nice to each other, like they were under Stalin, Lenin, Brezhnev, chairman Mao, Pol Pot.

Here’s a history lesson you might learn from: ‘ Winston Churchill’s personal religious beliefs were complex; while he was baptized and raised in the Church of England, he viewed religion primarily through the lens of social utility and the preservation of Western civilization, famously describing himself as a "buttress" that supported the church from the outside rather than a "pillar" on the inside’.

There are as many versions of religion and what it means as there are people on the planet. Doesn’t mean I’m a ‘nut job’ as I can assure you I am far from a zealot which was your alternative.

'comment from DG has to be a wind up’

Sadly not HC, though you have perhaps gone out of your way to misinterpret.

BP aren’t sitting on piles of cash *because* they splash it on this, that and the other. TILS' ‘Stemprinter’ was supposed to be superior to the SOC in its area 5?? years ago and has done nothing since it moved to the NAS, originally as part of TILS but now spun-off. $TLSA now is waiting for data, seems familiar. Is waiting for data any better in the US than waiting for data here? I think not. So far CC agrees with me and not you.

And SpaceX has probably sucked up a lot of PI's cash in the states. I know of several other UK shares currently claiming life on the Nas will be milk and honey; there's quite a few parties in the queue for the Nas.

DDDD; so full of promise; so out of business despite all the possibilities offered on the Nasdaq. I also lost on Napster which, seriously, people on LSE chat were saying ‘mortgage your house to buy this share’ when they were streaming VR concert gigs and II investment was guaranteed.

I’ll be happy to go to the Nas when the time is right. Now isn’t it.

As for cult comment 'your encouragement of your own daughter to sign up to a religious cult?’ From Met is almost too ridiculous to answer but here goes. You have NO idea about my belief or lack of belief. However I am willing to share. I am not particularly a believer but I would call myself Christian (as I’m not Jewish, Muslim, anything else) But my wife is Christian so that’s where your fist mistake gets corrected.

Second mistake. The upside of a faith is, longterm, pretty huge. What’s not to like about eternal life?! And the downside?? I get snide comments from people I’ve not met and never will. In fact that sounds like an even better bet (as Wyn would characterize) than even Avacta. I have heard top intellectuals make the same argument; if Christian religious belief is misplaced then so-what? If Christains are right then heaven beckons. You’d be a fool not to believe when it’s put like that.

Also, I do try not to be a hypocrite and put on one face when I attend church and another face when I’m on here; writing unspeakable foul comments to others just as it’s easy from behind a keyboard. (That should have been a line in Reginald Perrin but I suspect people who actually know CJ are unsurprised by the things her writes here.)

As a shareholder of DDDD and $TLSA.US / $ACUT I am indeed showing my true colours. I have little interest in a move to the NAS in the near future.

Pedro, you sometimes seem like a decent human being so something to work on there.
