Charles Jillings, CEO of Utilico, energized by strong economic momentum across Latin America. Watch the video here.
At the moment the company's priorities are: making the new trials a success, not delaying them and then securing a BP deal. There's also the outside chance of securing a Platform trial (although jeez they appear to be running at a snail's pace).
So, the company needs to secure its top talent, no matter what people on here think about them and be in a position to attract new talent, as and when needed. That's the best way to make sure things progress as all investors want them to.
All it means is that our shares will be a little more diluted, as or when a big deal comes through. And I suspect that many on here who disagree with these new share options will have sold out on a rise and way before any such deal in any case.
So, I think this is a bit of a distraction. It gives some of us something more to moan about, but the real focus and energy of both the company's efforts and our questioning should be on these new trials.
In theory this looks great value at this price. Or maybe wait to see if the SP drops further?
Something is spooking investors.
The economy? Advertising in the UK is struggling at the moment, but S4 have such as US and Asian focus.
Digital malaise? But surely this has already happened?
I think it must be SMS's health. He's the one who opens doors. They need a succession plan and a figurehead who's going to do just that.
The Brandtech group have just bought Jellyfish (an agency I thought S4 would have wanted to buy a year or so ago) and Nick Emery, former global CEO of Mindshare as its CEO.

Agree, a bit of a steal in the 8-9p range. The Sp reached as low as 7p, without knowing what the plan is, nor having a clear view on the cash situation (although a number of us knew that it was far more positive than trolls had been trying to scare people with).
However, there are bound to be some impatient investors on here who'll want to get out, because they can't hold on long enough for any significant news.
Agree Dunk, TP, Tommo etc...
From now on I think I'll only engage with them at the end of the year, when their ludicrous predictions are proven to be way off the mark, but for some reason I don't think they'll be around then! ;-)
Aww how cute, Drew’s sidekick has taken a shine to me too! I feel humbled. Will look out for you OJ, alongside Tweedledrew at the end of the year, when the cash hasn’t run out, there hasn’t been a need for a raise to fund day-to-day business and when the SP hasn’t reached 4p.
Sharedealer, doc, gunto, brand, Tommy, are you a bit jealous that I got the first mention? I think Drew doesn't like it when I get to call him out, the poor sensitive chap.
Drew - what happened with your prediction that Synairgen had no cash and were fast running out of it? You got that wild guess wrong didn't you? A bit like your 4p wild guess too? I think I said see you at the end of the year when there hasn't been a cash raise to keep the company afloat. I'll also see you at the end of the year when the SP won't have got to 4p. The good news is that you'll have deleted your account by then. The bad new is that you'll have popped up in an easy to detect disguise with another user name.
Am looking forward to seeing what TGF's reaction is to the board at the AGM. Will they be backing them all the way, because the plans ahead look like significant progress? Or will they demand changes?
I have a hunch that it's the former and that they are insiders, as they haven't bought any shares at relatively low prices, to get to 29.9%
Good news is that SNG can fund these small trials within the healthy £20M they have in the bank. No need for a raise at all, despite what some 'sages' on here, feebly try to proclaim. Then if there are significant findings from these trials the SP will likely rise and only then will a raise to fund a large scale trial be likely.
50p would be OK.
£1.75 would be great and would justify all the wait and stress of the past few years.
Anything north of that would be life-changing.
But I'm mainly posting on this comment to bring some d!ckhead's post further down the message board.
