Hunniford,
Good to know you are patiently invested. Agree trading long/short this is too stressful unless you have additional funds to play around with/ lose. Easier shares out there to trade, but thats for another day.
This week revealed:
JB is for real who ate humble pie and responded fairly in our interest.
GC acted in a wreckless manner depleting a rising share price by 40% by dropping a grenade (to borrow a phrase from H73). It didn’t impress me at all. He’s not indispensible and not above the Company either.
Its a PLC and Shareholders and Stkeholders must come first and the fair deal for customer (yes satisfy an evolving a Regulator, but collectively challenge where pushed too far? They are human resources and make errors too.
- 20p has a history reference to refused offer of 21p by JB - responding it’s worth 21p x 5 =£1.05
£1.05 = Mcap - £500m
- Selling down to final 1% and countdown to next 7/8 days cut-off date and another stepping stone to restore investor confidence.
- The £100m+ provisions set aside -for full year seems oddly over-exagerated. As only £6m? were used in q1?
Nayar could not answer the question as to why set so high. Will the provision be revised down is the question on PI’s thoughts. Regardless a cryptic mystery to takeaway.
- If JB wins, he buys the unwanted stock at 20p, but will add value by further reducing the debt.
He wants to fast track back (into FTSE 250) near IPO levels, according to Tweet. Assuming he means the sp, else what else?!
- Lending - maybe to do with “evolving chnages in new FCA processes” refering to the Regulatory piece. (sector wide)
It maybe some “internal system new software code” updates have been requested which require functional testing, referencing the technology changes he hovered over?
I think it may start Oct end/ early Nov as you say.
FTH
