Oil price drops - SP drops

I'm hoping for some solid information on the income expected - plans and costs for the year. I'm hoping that DB will admit that he's made a terrible mess and is resigning and replaced by someone competent.

I'm expecting a load of waffle with no real hard information nor a forecast of income/expenses for the year. I'm expecting more Jam tomorrow and a plan to up the boards salaries/ share reward scheme.

It would be nice to see the shorts take a hit but as it is they seem to be doubling down and increasing their position just this week. Maybe they bank on a poor trading update. From what I see in the North East the shops can barely cope at times....or so it appears. Their offer is great value compared to many other high street food outlets.

Am I missing something here? I understood the shares purchased are being held in Treasury to satisfy the employee schemes - not to reduce the number in issue.

"Would is a Gold Mine"... yep, they managed to dig out a £2 Billion loss and the only thing extracted is the 'P' from us little people.

You are bang on the money - or lack of it rather. I am in similar position down 61% on a sizeable holding - only relief in sight is the deal and the pay out which can't come soon enough.

Stew 'Hearing very close to being done should be very early 2026' Man up - where did you hear that? Or is another fantasist or maybe its tinnitus!

Banbury B ...'.It is allowed. Too scared I might miss out by selling at a small loss.'

Well said. Its perfectly normal to have reservations and still hold. Not every doubt expressed is trolling/de-ramping which in any event the impact on share prices is wildy overrated on LSE.

Trendz - “Natara reserves the right (with the consent of the Panel, if required), and while the Cooperation Agreement is continuing, subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer.”

This is has been the case from the outset - if they are blocked from the Scheme of Arrangement than a straightforward bid can be made. Treatt is sold - if not now then within the next few months as twp of its peers very much want it.

Yep, I guess that's the way it's going. On the other hand if the scheme of arrangement is blocked then as I understand it Natara have the right to pursue the acquisition by way of a takeover bid.

Agreed offer of 290p, share price at a 15% discount to that - possible further bid (excluding Dohler) so seems easy money? Then again I've thought that before! Anyway - taken a position as its a company with prospects come what may.

It could be seen as positive but I worry about costs...12% increase in headcount and a dermination to increase further. Ok, more sales team, more sales but more profit is the question.

Voted against! There is nothing on offer to LTH and every vote against is a message the board need to go....en masse

The share buy back that really isn't doesn't help....at least not us ordinary beings. Not content with craeming off 100mil from the Snaitech sale the focus is on lining up more shares to hand out. Add in Labour/Reeves willing to crush yet another industry by eyeing gambling taxes and it may be time to dump these....which is not a recommendation.

Just over a million turnover, expenses a miilon! What self respecting board wouldn't recognise the need to trim their own costs - but no, not a bit of it - Mrs B still picks up her cheque for flicking the duster over a couple of laptops. The only profit here is made by the scalliwags that are conning the rest of us.

Not forgetting the nuclear part of the business....

Graff: 'Rival bedders show their hand. 60p minimum'

Wouldn't that be something - but I think not. I have voted yes to all. Its 30p and that's if we are lucky. Its simple enough to work out. Years of broken promises, years of complacency as management picked up their bonus for managing the business into all but collapse. I blame no-one but myself for believing the Jam tomorrow statements thinking these were genuinely achievable instead of recognising they are much the same as politicians promises. statements of intent. So with 50,000 at average 80p by all means rejoice at anything above 30p....but my assessment now is that isn't a realistic outcome.

Its a Wrap - Again many thanks for your help.

I hoped that the frustration with Bramhill and general distrust of this shower would be reflected there - and it is. It's not exactly the overwhelming vote of confidence seen in most companies.

Itsawrap - Thanks for that - unfortunately it just keeps showing me Error 404. Which section on their website is it under.

They said these would be posted on the company website. Can anybody see them - or will they be buried for months?
