Please remember you have shareholders. Please remember that good communications do wonders for confidence. Please remember that we may be small fry in our own rights, but collectively we matter!!! Jacksh*t - any insights from your side????

So I didn't completely sell out like I said I would. I went back and re-read through everything and my conclusion was that there really was a lot of potential. Plus the directing board are incredibly invested in this themselves. It is taking much, much longer than any of had though, hoped, or wanted. But may be it is because more than one deal is being bundled together? Or figures are being reworked to take into account the drop in oil price? Or a whole heap of reasons - not all of them negative. I admit though, their communication sucks. Has anyone tried getting in contact with XPL???

OK - I commit to sell out everything I have. Based on prior experience that will cause the news to come flooding in and the share price to rocket through the roof. Now I have decided, expect the legendary RNS tomorrow morning!

Nah - that looks like a rollover to me (we've had enough of them to spot them!) GLA for the AGM tomorrow

Keep us posted as to what the other things are you are looking at!!!!

Hi JackSht - hope all is well with you. Good to see you back on board. Have you kept your same level of holding? I too am convinced that this share will take us where we want to go - it is just very frustrating because we have been always expecting imminent news. I am a little concerned that there may be a suspension with the RTO - just look at WRN & who knows how long that will last (I'm not in it myself). And if you go further back in history, look at Stratmin, who were suspended for over two months and then kept a steady course south once relisted. (That said, they were plagued by poor management - it looks like a different kettle of fish for XPL) Anyway - let's see if anything comes out on Monday, and then fingers crossed for Tuesday! Are you going to the AGM?

Rathbone's show of confidence will spread to other investors........ and serve as a "gentle" reminder to XPL that shareholders exist!! GLA

PrincessKim - welcome to XPL. On the plus side - there are a lot of us that really believe in this share. The board of directors has a lot of experience on the technical/strategic management side (note I am not including communications here…..). They are planning on bringing on board genuine companies that produce, not just planing to bring on speculative companies. IMARA is a strong asset, with experience - and operations in two countries. And there are 2-3 more deals in the pipeline. There are a very small number of shares in circulation - but remember that there will be more shares issued as part of the RTO. However, the most frustrating thing is the lack of communication from the company. I read through the annual report the other day and the thing that made me laugh was how they underlined their commitment to communicate with shareholders. Whilst I am all in favour of due diligence being carried out correctly, we have been hearing about this now since December last year. It is starting to affect shareholder confidence - I don't think it will be causing too many of the longer-term holders to get rid of shares before the RTO, but it does make me wonder how much confidence shareholders will have in the BoD to carry on afterwards if they won't keep people informed. This leads to a risk of a higher number off-loading after the RTO. I'm not sure what I will do. I totally agree that in a logical, business-sense world, we would have an update prior to the AGM. But then again, the AGM is a routine event, rather than an announcement event - so maybe we won't. I will not be impressed with the BoD if that is the case though.

Matlot - I've been in here since the days of 16p - and seen it through to the heights of 69p and back down. And still holding. so please do not accuse me of deramping. I am merely passing a comment on my understanding of reality - I just don't see any need to get over excited.

I wouldn't get that excited Matlot - remember there are three deals and as far as we are aware, only the first one will be announced in the coming weeks. All good insofar as more to follow, but don't expect a metaphoric rise. I personally would rather solid, sustainable increases rather than something that brings the pump and dump brigade in all guns blazing

Always nice to see. What is good is the increased level of interest overall. There are a lot of newbies who have joined us on the board in the past week. The level of trading has increased hugely (which would not have been difficult considering how little trading there was recently!). It's interesting that there is only, as people say, around 1.2 million shares in free float - and I get the impression that there are a few big holders present on this board amongst the old-timers (JackSht being one of them), all of whom are riding on the 1 GBP expectation. So if the RTO comes in at 50p (as per the Imara presentation that was put up on their website), there are going to be very, very few available to pick up at that price. There will be an increase in the number of shares - again, if you haven't read the original prospectus you should, but I still have very high hopes for this share. GLA

Hi zoommer - may be it has something to do with how few shares are in circulation and therefore how few have any in the first place. It definitely looks like there will be an announcement soon regarding the first deal, which would result in the RTO. It would make sense that this happens either before or at the AGM (I would have thought before so that the AGM allows them to present the new company to a (semi) informed audience. So there would then be the other two deals to come through. Very exciting times!!!

There are so few shares in PI hands - most of the time when brokers who are plugged into the share do deals they get much better rates than PI's do on online trading platforms, so I would not be so sure that all of the shares marked as "sells" (i.e. in red) are actual sells. You only have to see the various roll-over sells/buys over the past few months where both trades (of equal amounts) were listed as buys to see how tight brokers can get the prices.

The Imara presentation that was put up on the Imara website earlier in the summer adn named XPL as the shell (probably by mistake) spoke of a deal towards Q4 if I am not mistaken. They are raising funding to then transfer across with the RTO - maybe that has been launched (or at least sufficient preparations have begun to trigger interest)

I've just tried a dummy buy and the max you can get is aroun 2750 GBP's worth!

Hi Skier - you mention AIM. XPL is currently listed on the main market. Does this mean that the RTO is likely to move to AIM? And if so - what implications does that have?

Most of the big 'buys' we have seen in the past have most likely been rollovers (so actually a sell followed by a buy - but both marked as buys in the system because of the prices) - but over the past few days there seems to be genuine buys coming back in. The Imara presentation that went up earlier in the year on their website suggests that they should be raising their money soon - which would be absorbed into Imara under an RTO. Maybe the time is really getting closer????

So - everyone is back from their holidays and the market is ripe for news: might we see an RNS this week? Or am I just being optimistic. Unmindthedoors - who's Graham? JackSht?

Great to see you are still around JackSht - I seem to remember that you had a substantial percentage, so it is really reassuring to know you are still in. I remain quite heavily in also (but nothing I think compared to you!). Sorry to hear about your experience with the stockbroking firm - are they the same one that tipped you off on XPL in the first place?

Awfully quiet - everyone is getting (rightfully) fed up of the lack of news. My theory that the silence was because of the summer holidays has proven incorrect. Are there so few PIs that communications are not considered important???
