Unilever rejected the proposal, which was rumoured to be around £40 a share - a premium of just shy of 20% on the opening price this morning," said Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. "With Kraft Heinz saying it'll be coming back to the table, it looks like the initial offer was just to test the water," And our board and independent advisor think 11% should just be accepted straight away

I was and still am a holder of GWP shares. They did the same thing. The good side was the shares went up like a rocket. However after running on both markets they then left the UK for good last year and are now only on NASDAQ. The reason given was that it was very difficult to be on both markets. So the down side was, if you hold in an ISA you cant hold NASDAQ shares in an ISA. I had some in a SIPP with BestInvest, they do not trade NASDAQ either, so had to set up another account with AJ Bell to handle these shares.

Made a little over the years here and just added a decent amount again today. Why. I own enough shares in companies where the board keep rewarding themselves massively each year for very little performnce. This company is different and the actions yesterday prove this to me, so I am willing to add here as it gives me a good feeling for the future.

Directors of the company have brought shares via their investment vehicle at a massive discount to the closing price. But this is in the best interest of all shareholders and makes sense for all? Finncap see nothing wrong with that? Nothing like being rewarded for incompetence, if they were any good the price would not have dropped the 90% we have seen this year. Another AIM joke and they probably think they are doing a good job.

that means very little. The big thing here is three at the top of Agenda21 have been in the digital game as long as its being going. i used to work with one of them 16 years ago and he was in digital then. they are digital, run a tight ship and are at the top of their game. However, digital is moving fast, FB, Google etc hate agencies and want us out of the picture, they want direct client access. The margin are also dropping fast. There are also a few skeletons forming that could explode. Agency trading desk arrangements, programmatic fraud and click bots, FB measurement etc. If I had shares in Fb I would be selling them now, people have changed how they use FB and they are quickly losing their USP. Digital is very fast moving and A21 are sprinters

Just talked to iweb where I hold some. There're a couple of forms to fill out, one sounds a bit heavy regarding tax but will put this in front of my accountant when it arrives and feedback to all. One thing Iweb will charge me 1.5% fee to convert the trade from dollars to sterling which is annoying. Been with GWP for many loyal years, left feeling today that my loyalty to them has not been matched by their loyalty to us. I just wonder if the Americans were getting annoyed that as sterling collapses we got a natural increase in our holdings. From a greenhouse on Salisbury plain to the bright lights of America its been a journey, but I'm still in and intend to keep going on this adventure.

Like the news section, last news was from 2012. Looks also like the website was copyrighted in 2012 No mention of the MOU with the Chines, so personally think this was a lie all along. Most of the content is a rehash of the old site or recent RNS. Good work lads, you are worth every penny you take in salarys.

why don't you investigate this then http://www.assetmatch.com/ Took me a second and I didn't need a £200k+ a year salary either.

"We will continue to strive to maximise shareholder value following the cancellation of our AIM listing and will provide updates to our shareholders as matters progress." Never managed to do that when they were listed so have zero faith that they intended to do this now they are not. It's insulting.

It's a sign, but only for lovers of old skool music

happy days

Looking for advice from someone far more knowledgeable than me. I have a holding within an ISA. If we come of AIM and this share can no longer be held in and ISA I know I will lose the tax advantage if the turd flys again. However, now that the share our outside the ISA can I use this loss to offset against CGT on shares I hold also outside my ISA?

If it was 1.9x present market value for us, I would be doing cartwheels.

If by liquidation you mean selling the assets, there are a number of reasons why might not sense. Firstly, difficulty finding a buyer in the current market environment and secondly, selling now would ensure the company would miss out on any value upside when the sector and commodity prices do start to recover. This can be suggested at the EGM but to impose it as a resolution you would need to get 10%, I think, of shareholders to combine to call a special resolution. On the MoU, there has been no material progress to report.
