And he’s certainly not doing us any.

So aren’t you just proving my point as to why we are being shafted? I actually disagree with you on most of these points ( other than a bright future which we should be part of) but that’s of no matter. Would suggest a track record of destroying the share price from £4+ when I was still a young man many many moons ago could also be considered a measure of this boards decision making.

Sain we all know that. BOD don’t seem to get that and they are the only best selling us out for a quick buck.

Sain. You are wonderful ! You still defend them even though you are being shafted??

Sain. “The best team” want to get into another league irrespective of who they climb over along the way. If the company were in trouble we would all be delighted. It is not, it is transitioning, and while we are prepared to wait they are prepared to accept wads of dollars. Ambition trumps loyalty.

Agreed. My personal opinion the institutions won’t care either way the value of their holdings relative to portfolios is so small. A few pence lost on a better offer not materializing. Immaterial. Cashing in at this low price. Immaterial. Move on and reinvest in companies without the two or three years void of Telford. I would have hoped the dividend and the various agreements for strategic partnerships and Greystar would make them think twice.

Friends and family holdings have been referred to on many occasional on this board. Given the huge tax implications perhaps our only hope is they are willing to wait it out and vote against. Wishful thinking perhaps but they suffer the same as we do as P’I’s

Ok so recent podcasts and updates from company and brokers have painted a short term contraction then rainbows and ponies in the future. For those of us who have been in since day one what’s a couple more years for capital growth while the dividend is sound. At no time was there any suggestion that the company was in any difficulty relating to the raising of funds for the new strategy. Quite the opposite. This was the means of growing rapidly using others money with all the benefits outlined.

On that point ( IMO) the fact the dividend as a percentage of profits would be increased could only be a message to one group and that is investors. Within the rules on investment advice and commentary?

We need to know how long this has been in the works relating to statements to the market.

We’re JDS’s trips to US related and Andrew Wiseman's transfer of shares back from his wife part of the planning to increase the percentage held by directors? How will directors shares be treated as there will be horrendous tax implications unless their shares are transmuted in to a CBRE company.

IF the updates and statements are correct then there is no scenario here that benefits the investor no matter how they try and rap it up. IF they have mislead us and the planning has been going on predating then surely (IMO) there is a clear breach of AIM rules.

The only beneficiaries I can see here are Telford employees ...and I don’t begrudge those at the coal face ....increased profit, bigger company higher salaries and perks. I never thought I would even begin to think this of people I have known for years but all’s not well in the State of Denmark.

Wasn’t Xdentibus “Blue” at one time? If so Blue was confirmed to me by BOD as member of the accounts department at that time. Correct me if I am in error.

Agreed. My question on association was for Xdentibus who’s view seems very aligned to being an insider given the position taken with no questions asked.

Are you an interested party within Telford , associates or advisers?

G, if you are correct on the one vote per legal shareholder the simplest way for us is to have our nominee accounts with WF converted back to paper certificates giving us 2 votes. No downside to paper in this situation unless of course we choose to trade in the meantime. Hopefully someone on here can confirm your post.

Thanks for the info. You obviously understand this more than most.

The very fact CBRE are prepared to consider countering any increase offer shows they know they have a steal and frankly should be sounding alarm bells to the BOD that they are underselling which is not in any shareholders interest.

I have already indicated to JDS I will be voting against but frankly I believe I will be peeing in the wind.

Agree totally with a premium offer.

Yes I get that but with the new influx of money there may well be other more preferred partners.

If these two partnerships along with the relationship with Greystar were as described in recent updates I.e securing Telford long term future there is absolutely no need for a sale. Of course we don’t know the backstory and it may be institutional investors were not prepared to wait it out as we were. If they threatened to dump shares we wouldn’t be happy either. That said this is a complete and utter betrayal. It would be interesting to see how the share option schemes are dealt with as one major benefit Telford have is a loyal and incentivized work force.

Hopefully many will attend the AGM to voice their displeasure but in my view this sell out is a done deal

As a PS I would have been quite happy with 17p dividend for two or three years until the whole Brexit mess was settled. As it is things will improve and none of us will reap the rewards of trusting this company.

What’s to understand. They may play very little part in Telford future. While 2227 is correct in that we are only worth what someone will pay I am shocked at this valuation. Distasteful to me is the number of updates recently and over the years plus section on the website encouraging investors which all point to a rosy future yet now the rug has well and truly been pulled. Technically JDS made factual statements. Updates suggest that decisions were for Telford's future. What he, Andrew and Katie forgot to mention was they were in negotiations to screw their investors. The website still has the case for investing. Not cool Jon not cool. The people I once knew had more about them than this betrayal.

In any event Rapper what fray? We don’t even know if anyone else is even bothered.

Yes far too risky

Why? Wishing it won’t make it happen.

I hope you are right but I doubt it very much. This is “agreed” by the board and it’s hard to believe that whispers and feelers weren’t being to others. This is so disappointing as to how the company has been run and to the integrity of the individuals I have championed in previous posts.
