If merger discussions are continuing, oughtn't this disclosure to confine the wishes or needs of any responsible Director to deal in shares in their Company?
Those of us who have held roles in the City most probably observed the rules rather than bent them, but we know that it is the responsibility of so-called investment banks, sponsors & brokers to share in the policing with the FCA and not undermine the spirit behind the laws that govern us.
There will not be any interest from all those highly experienced investment managers until all advisers to promising companies "wake up" and provide sound advice to their corporate clients to appoint brokers who produce investment analyst's reports or appoint specialist, competent firms of analysts to write reports if their clients, such as iq-ai, really do want to grow into great companies. Otherwise, what else can they offer but an ability to arrange small placings at a discount, often without "after sales support".
Ivans comment was, in my opinion, very well made.
