I asked the question that if it was a no vote surely ii’s even the government (for guarantee) would look at it differently but all responses were so negative - AAL as it stands only option

When I replied to Croz I was only talking about me not other investors - got too emotionally involved amongst other things and won’t ever do that again

Hi Casa - I’d say over half pi’s - but lots of youngish men in suits - I was disappointed there were not more but of course it’s a long way for a lot of people to travel when they could vote

Croz - the important thing is you learn from where you went wrong and try and do better next time

Walking the dog now but don’t think there’s more to add - feel sad, cross, helpless!, disappointed with the empty hall, furious with AAL for being so shortsighted in not letting SH’s remain part of Sirius in a small way and avoiding all the bad feeling. Nothing much from the meeting gave me hope really - but as far as Sirius goes I’ve called it wrong every time so I guess it won’t be long till we find out - hopefully I’m wrong again!

Quite hard to report back on everything - and haven’t much time - don’t know if anyone else has - hard to use phone in there. Very few people turned up which was disappointing - seemed quite a few ii’s. It’s hard to call and don’t like to say because I might be wrong. Company stressed they’ve exhausted all the options. Don’t know what to think except that I feel a bit deflated. Only nice thing met some other SH’s and we were all gutted at situation including PAAA who is not CF and is as upset as the rest of us! When I get home if no one else has I will try to elaborate but tbh I think whatever it is will have been decided before today’s meeting

I have a table for 10 booked for coffee etc from 9.00am at
Lantana Cafe,
Oliver’s Yard,

If you’re coming from Old Street tube it’s probably half way to HAC along A501. Think it’s about 5 mins walk to HAC or longer if you’re walking with Ffc on his crutches!

I’ll probably get there at around 9.30 am - it’s booked under Sirius. I’ll put this on FB and ShareSoc - we’ll either have just me there or too many!! They did say they weren’t usually busy so hopefully they won’t mind if no one turns up or more than 10 do!

Just actually wondering whether to buy some of my shares back .....

I’m guessing people who buy back in can’t vote? Or can they if they go to meeting?

Getting Sirius

While in the US, primary voters across several states will be choosing their preferred presidential candidates, London will be getting it's very own ‘Super Tuesday’ as Sirius Minerals PLC (LON:SXX) investors vote on whether to approve the controversial £405mln takeover bid for the potash miner from Anglo American plc (LON:AAL).

While the board has recommended investors approve it, half of Sirius shareholders are private investors who bought shares at a much higher price and claim the offer “significantly” undervalues the company.

The offer has also attracted criticism from one of Sirius’ largest shareholders, hedge fund Odey Asset Management, which last week said the bid “does not represent fair value for shareholders” and reckons Anglo “would be willing to bid substantially more”.

With Odey having increased its stake in Sirius to 1.51% and another band of private investors looking to raise £460mln in a bid to stop Anglo’s takeover, the outcome of the vote will likely rest in the hands of the company’s 85,000 retailer shareholders, many of whom live close to the project site in Yorkshire.

I’ll give it to IBAB having been very suspicious of him at the beginning I bought his story by the end - honestly I’m an idiot - hope he gets paid a lot - I’m no good at all this

So do we think Polygon are working with AAL?

Just got a question - sorry if it’s a stupid one. If it’s a yes vote on Tues is that final or can other bids still come in to challenge it before the final mtg? or can that only happen if it’s a no vote?

Thank you Max. I would just like to say to anyone looking here that could have and hasn’t delivered on the SH value that was promised to investors over and over again that I feel incredibly let down. It’s quite clear from all that’s been said by SH’s over the last weeks I’m not alone and that there’s so much we don’t understand. We need all our questions answered. PS The only people I listened to were the BOD not these boards and social media

Hi Max. Thank you for all you are doing. As per ffc’s comment re if it’s a yes vote should we be encouraging litigation - I have a question. I personally think that AAL are determined that it will be a yes vote and will have made sure one way or another they get their way. I hope I’m wrong and we can then move forward on SMSA’s plan. Since AAL news many SH’s have sold in fear . Will all SH’s that have lost money since AAL announcement be able to work with SMSA if it is decided litigation is the way forward if yes gets through or will it be for existing SH’s only. I just wondered whether more would be encouraged to donate if they knew they could be part of the campaign for a yes outcome rather than just a no outcome?

Yes they’ll be celebrating the apparent fact that Stella Rose is doing more than 30m a day average!

Apparently some AAL are already moving into Woodsmiths offices. Info from those working on site. If it’s true they seem quite confident.

I’ll do FB but I know I should know this - the investors that don’t vote at all won’t influence anything will they?

Just heard on news government have promised to test all hotel guests in lockdown in Tenerife - wonder what test they’re going to use?!

I have rearranged things so I can be now be there on Tuesday although I have voted already. My broker indicated that there have been more no’s than yes’s. I do feel that as a loyal SH to Sirius (and actually I think I was over the top loyal now) that it feels like I have been bullied during the last year and to this day by far more powerful organisations and people than me. I feel as though I was intimated and frightened into selling many of my shares, whereas in the years preceding that it was the opposite message from the company and I never sold one. All I can say is that if one of the major investors steps up and does the right thing to execute the SR in the way it was sold to us with SH support the enthusiasm from past and present SH’s to make the success of this project that is deserves will be overwhelming. My money is there ready and waiting - before possibly, and after the vote - I’m just hoping that someone out there can restore my faith in the business community - it’s not like there’s not an opportunity to make some serious money.

Just phoned the company as I genuinely wanted to find out for someone I know how I could access the tests as you can’t go to doctors surgery and asked were they available on NHS. Very guarded receptionist who said she couldn’t give out any information regarding supplying to NHS. Hopefully NHS will get their act together.
