'*potentially* be very limited to zero value' could be balanced by *potentially* a higher bid from Sid, or other entity once Sid *potentially* gets the thumbs down (or was it thumbs up in Ancient Rome?) .

At very least the 2024 letter shows how seriously the big boys will be considering the position now and I trust they will make the best decision, better informed than punters on this bb.

Only movement on short since April was Marshall Wace LLP -0.09% reduction in November. No one showing increase since February.

I averaged down a bit this morning. I'm below 30p at last. 'Yes' is safe for me; if the big boys go with 'no' then that should be safe too.

If you're right ICE then that great, I will trust them. I just wouldn't want MY decision to be the one to swing it one way or the other.

If the big boys think a 'No' is justified then great. They know more than me (not difficult) and the market is good at these judgements.

There's an everso slim chance that my tiny, tiny,TINY, vote could swing it if the big boys aren't decided. So I have voted 'yes' as if the big boys don'y know then 30p is probably better than the alternative.

So if there's a 'no' vote another bidder could enter the fray in the following days. That would allow Sid to bid higher too (if AI is to believed and it does seem sensible on this occasion).

If sidara are rejected in the vote for wood group can they increase their offer above 30p?

AI Overview

If Wood Group shareholders reject the current 30 pence per share offer, the UK Takeover Code generally prevents Sidara from making an increased or new offer for six months, unless specific exceptions apply.

The key exception specified in Sidara's formal announcement is that their offer of 30p per share is final and will not be increased unless a third-party makes a competing offer, or the Takeover Panel provides its consent.

Therefore, if shareholders vote against the deal, Sidara can only increase their offer above 30p if:

Another company announces an offer or possible offer for Wood Group; or

The Takeover Panel grants special permission, which it may do if circumstances materially change (e.g., if Wood Group faced immediate insolvency without a revised deal).

If no other bidder emerges and the Takeover Panel does not provide consent, Sidara would typically be restricted from making a new offer for a period of six months from the date the offer is withdrawn or lapses. The current offer is seen as a "yes or no" vote on the 30p offer due to the terms set by Sidara under the Takeover Code.

I see I can change my vote if I wish to, with HL:

'Log in online at hl.co.uk

Select ‘view shareholder meetings’ which you’ll find under the link to your secure messages

Click the ‘give instruction’ link next to the relevant shareholder meeting(s) and follow the instructions.

You’ll need to do this before 7pm on Wednesday 12 November 2025 so your vote can be passed onto the company before the shareholder meetings. If you’ve recently bought shares, it will take 2-3 days for you to be able to vote on these.

Please note that this is a revision due to a change in meeting date from the 12 November 2025 to 17 November 2025. If you have already voted, please do not vote again unless you would like to amend your original instruction. '

I bought some more today. I will vote again, just in case.

I don't believe people 'talk up' a share if they still want to buy more themselves. That would be stupid. I doubt people's comments on this BB influence the SP but, just tpo be sure, even I – with my rubbish record– would keep quiet till after I'd hit the buy button.

Myles does have the power to make people consider a buy. He knows that perfectly well. So, I'd say his words indicate he's definitely finished buying for the moment and may even be selling (who knows other than MM).

The corporate action button is there now, with HL anyway.

'Buys' are showing for decent amounts. Votes of confidence? Maybe I will participate in the retail offer.

Till HL sort themselves, this is a very efficient way to view RSI

Expand ('graphique dynamique') and then, top left hand corner, 'indicateurs' (a little pointer symbol) and then RSI is in the (mainly En) drop down menu.

'Thank you for your message.

I appreciate you for bringing this issue to our attention.

We are already aware of the issue regarding the RSI indicator feature on the new Performance Chart. Our Technical Team are still investigating this and still trying to find the root cause of the issue.

I wouldn’t be able to indicate how long it will take, but you’re welcome to request an update at any time by messaging us.

Please rest assured we'll look into this and implement a fix as quickly as possible.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience this matter may cause you.'

FCA might be taking there time in order to announce 'nothing to see here' and trading is resuming (as opposed to trading is resuming and we're still investigating).

'this has become a traders dream ' but not for UK investors where the FX charges make trading next to pointless. And I very much doubt the number of people reading this UK bulletin board will ever influence the sp with their occasional trades.

I can't be very far from break even now, on a good day (so not today), if I take into account the ACUT shares that came with my TILS.

Perhaps a share consolidation first in an attempt to avoid penny share status, and gets around the nominal value problem. Worked at hemo where I sold too soon.

Wyn, am I being thick (open goal) but I can't seem to get 'RSI' on the HL site these days, after their revamp. I'm using the chart on this LSE site instead. Am I missing something or is there a problem? I wrote to HL but no reply as yet.

'they offloaded more, according to Morningstar'

– depends how much they were paid for off-loading them surely?

Ice may be right, he may be wrong, but the chances of him being short are next to zero.

IMO of course.

A lot of posts for a Saturday.

Not going to read back thru them all but sure someone must have mused, as I do now, since the accounts are clean and the FCA presumably have nothing to look into, can the Sid offer at least go back to 35p? (And better still would be a rival offer or simply no take-over and rebuild of independent WG.
