Henderson Global were buying, Legal & General selling. Henderson is the bigger player here.

... today. Several, incl. late reported, of 1m+. I'm guessing another RNS tomorrow from one of the ii's. Opening price - I wouldn't like to guess. Still loving this share.

at 9.93 ....

We've all seen them. Examples are cash strapped ASTO which regularly features in the top share risers and Uniq which had a massive pension deficit but is now trading at near 20 times its 52 week low. SCHEs losses are largely attributable to a write-off of goodwill (an intangible asset). Makes it attractive for a t/o? There's still a future in this IMO - evidenced by a big buy over ask price (6.39), ii's building stakes and everyone concerned working together to make the restructure a success. I'm a bit down on my original 7.5 entry but not planning on selling till the fat lady sings. That's my stance but dyor and take your own positions. (BTW 3000 redundancies sounds bleak until you look at the total no. of employees (44,000) and then realise that staff turnover was 21% anyway .....)

Good work - I'd missed the earlier trades which corresponded with the sell RNS. Questions remain (i) what caused the spike if these are all sells (ii) why no other RNSs on Friday?

Checked back on this - there were huge buys (all within a few minutes of each other) around 2.45 p.m. ranging from £150k to £500k!! Couldn't work on a pump and dump, so there's a vested interest in keeping the share price high. (Note also tho' RNS - 1 investor appears to have sold out). Just might fly BIG time next week. Other views, DYOR and all that ........?

... seems to have come from nowhere yet no bb traffic here. Massive volume. 2 big sells but fundamentals seem sound. Aiming to get in on the inevitable dip. Looks like it's been above 2p. Hoping the mm's don't wreck things with a silly open or a mad spread ....

... this afternoon. Quite positive in my view viz support from stakeholders. Further news in July. I'm confident that the company will mount a successful re-structure, tho' it may be in the context of a T/O or buy-out. Venture capitalists still have large holdings here. Worth a holding for the sake of a few months' wait - not years, unlike some other AIM shares .....

.... Mwb at 6.20 p.m. Is this a deliberate play-off - I don't know but both companies shares have done well out of it IMHO. Mwb is the holding company ... it and MBE appear to have 2 directors in common (look at share risers). What a tangled web.

... oh and Mwb holds 72% of BE's shares and Regus has reserved the right to make an offer which is below 92p

This is more complex than it looks. Mwb proposed an acquisition of Business Exchange's shares. A 3rd party (Regus) then made a cash offer for Business Exchange based on a share value of 92p. As noted above, today's first RNS indicated that the offer was not capable of being delivered (the full RNS also contains threats to have BE's shares cancelled). Regus issued a reply at 13.19 today. It looks like this might have to go to a shareholder's vote - so 92p next week looks unlikely IMHO ....

17.25 - Oceanwood now above 9% threshold ...

time? The interim results are unlikely to have any effect on the sp since we know what to expect. This (after hours) RNS, however, is a nod in the right direction - a 30% deferral in rent is a big ask but the main thing is that it wasn't rejected out of hand. In at 7.5p and buying when I can on dips ...
