I wonder if Asset Value are a new institutional investor or whether they already held and have now gone over 5%

Good news anyway.

Ask at 1409 now. Bid still stuck at 1230. stupid spread.

Chairman said this in the December interims.. (I read the last line as confirmation of the final 4p divi)

"In line with the updated dividend policy, announced in the 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements, the Company paid a 1.0 pence per share dividend for the June-end quarter. Subsequently, the Board of Directors approved a 1.0 pence per share dividend for the September-end quarter. The ex-dividend date will be 24 December 2024, followed by a record date of 27 December 2024. The dividend will be paid on or around 15 January 2025.

The Company has continued to pay dividends in accordance with the updated policy, and it is the Board's intention to continue to do so."

Excellent.

On a different note, do we have bent market makers for DIS? The spread is always completely ridiculous.

I mean were any other parties interested? Has this business been tendered for sale has anyone else had a chance to maybe bid for it? FFS.

Those 2 big dumps yesterday make sense now. These people need locking up.

Seems strange to sell 8.55m annual revenue for just 11m. I wonder how many brown envelopes are involved in the deal before what's left is returned to shareholders.

I guess just another bunch of crooks.

At least the brand will be out there and gaining recognition.. and that increases the chances of someone like Diageo swooping to buy the label off us.

Doesn't apply to B&M. The stores are laid out completely differently making it very difficult to walk out without paying and of course we don't stock anything worth stealing anyway.

Why have you posted that here (and not on other more vulnerable retailer boards)? (rhetorical).

Can buy 1m now at 0.089

Thanks for popping in uNkwnTrader, this has never been a share for a quick trade due to the low liquidity and spread.

Something's been going on here though.

Still can't buy 100k but can sell 1m now at 0.07

Can sell 1m at 0.0635 but NT to buy, tried just 100k but still NT (AJ Bell)

There must be shares available as they placed 300m with the new broker (but at 0.12) the warrants that went with that were at 0.36 so maybe (as usual) everything is rigged against us poor PI's.

Would be interesting to obtain an up-to-date valuation of our investment in Ardgowan, it's always just been recorded as a £3m financial asset.

.054 to buy, .042 to sell

unfortunately this looks like fraud now, expect them to do one last raise to give even more of the company away to the inner circle and then for them to take it private. Well I'll be holding onto my shares regardless.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that the company recovers and that I'll see something from the £3M we have in Ardgowan. (which is 5 times the current Mcap - unbe***lievable)

On a brighter note, I can see Blackwoods Gin on the shelves at EH Booths supermarket locally, unfortunately they don't carry RedLeg though.

Note to Chairman Don..

Here is the result of my strategic review:

1. Being as we have no debt, if you need some cash - why not borrow some cheaply from our rich major shareholders (the ones you gave half the company away to last time).

2. If they won't lend you any money, cash-in the Ardgowan loan and either give us the money back or use it create a new trend for drinking (Blavod) Black Vodka.

Pretty much as expected I guess. Interesting that he feels the need to say they are not actively considering an offer for the company.. maybe passively? Come on Ardgowan Distillery, let's make it big time!

Some chunky buys going through today.

No point selling what I've got at this criminal price.

I'll hold and even bought more to make my average more palatable.

I'll be checking regularly to see if the company (Soroya and Lars) make any payments or distributions to themselves so I can be sure to demand my share too.

No option under 'Opinion' to put disgusted. Based on the recent RNS contract wins part of me hopes they succeed and return to paying a dividend but part of me wants all the contracts to be cancelled because of the way they have done this.

Maybe they will be bought out by some bigger FM Logistics company and then I'll be quids in. (What else is there other than hope).

Also high £3, £4 and £5 on the way, it's just a matter of perspective.

Interesting to see if they manage to re-domicile and re-adjust the dividends so they pay more at interim and final.

Anybody else not get invited to vote at the special meeting? I know it wouldn't have made any difference to the result but surely all shareholders should at least have the opportunity to vote.
