Kooba: Have you been looking too deeply into she Sherry glass? So the company makes a share placing at 37p and why should anyone anyone on earth accept a 12p offer.

Ridiculous.

However Brian Tenner is not to be trusted so one needs to be careful.

The reason why I am in and continue to hold is that I believe that with Lindy we have a highky respected and serious and driven CEO with serious intellectual firepower. So many AIM companies have CEOs who don't have a lot of brainpower and abuse shareholders to fund their lifestyles. I honestly believe that with Scancell this is not the case. So if Londy says that 5 different parties are interested than that is sufficient for me. I have a hunch this is a question of time when we have exciting news and I believe it will be some time this year.

@Feeks: Sorry to hear that. Like you I suffered from the empty words of Nanoco's CEO Brian Tenner and almost followed you here. In the end I didn't as I have become very distrustful of UK small cap stocks. Too often the CEO/senior management ist not up to the job...anyway I am now concentrating on overpaying my mortgage and once that is done than I might do investing again - but only with spare cash and in UK mid caps.

@BeContrarian: Thank your fu for your post of this morning 9.05am. It sums up my (and I guess that of many others) sentiment and opinion perfectly.

The way BT handled Samsung litigation and the messaging surely led to many LTH shareholders to lose faith.

Quite frankly to make the distinction between short term shareholders and long term shareholders is an artificial one. We are all here to make money and if I as an investor am misled on short term matters of the company there is a chance that we might also be led by our nose on long term matters.... unless your time horizon is 15 years or more...

@Maxi19: The problem here is the word "trust". Given that the settlement proved that BT cannot be trusted on some of the messaging on settlement I really wonder how much one can trust him on this.

Like you I somehow have the hunch that these were non-core but given the substandard communication I take everything that BT or Edison says with a very lage dose of salt.

@Daz: I suggest you watch some of the pre-Samsung settlement video presentations of Brian Tenner especially the one where he loud and clearly stated that he would only accept a settlement amount from Samsung that would be a multiple of shareholder value. Based on this very clear promise (and I think investors can hold a CEO to his word if the CEO gives out such a statement without being under duress...) I think one can understand that many shareholders have lost a significant amount of trust in Brian Tenner.

I have worked in major asset management companies for many years (admittedly not on the investment side) and have also invested privately but such a clear contrast between corporate messaging and outcome really was a new experience to me.

@NGR: You and I are good old friends! I have stated in the past and will state again that I suggest to potential new (!!!) investors to stay away from Nanoco. Brian Tenner, the CEO of Nanoco, has been highly misleading to investors in the past - and that is a fact.

Many existing investors like myself have reduced their stakes but are still half heartedly in - not because I trust Tenner or the Board but because I want to sell my remaining shares at a slightly lower loss.

BUT HERE A HEALTH WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL INVESTORS: Only invest on the back of clearly worded RNS that contain some hard figures - DO NOT trust the rhethoric coming from the CEO or the Board. I mean well.

@Kooba: The CEO Brian Tenner was super confident in the months prior to the Samsung settlement and we all know what a total disaster that was. We also remember that Nanoco issued shares at a share price of 37p and look at the sahre price now.

Quite frankly even as a shareholder I would suggest people look elsewhere for a home for their hard earned monies.

The CEO and Board of Nanoco are not worthy od your trust and monies!

@LordWM: I wouldn't trust either Edison reports or Nanoco management - after the misleading communication of the past I only trust clearly written RNS - I have learnt my lesson!

FlyingHigher: Yes and for what a risible price. Just laughable. BT is a big mouth - that's all.

@Rigga: Let's face it - only people with scientific knowledge will be able to process and realise the content of the RNS. For the average retail investor this goes way beyond their filed of expertise - and mine.

The main thing / hope for me is that if Scancell continues to show good scientific results/outcomes that one day a pharma company comes along and offers a partnership or even a takeover. This is the prize we should hope and aim for - not the temporary share price fluctuations about some scientific RNSs.

@Nanonano: There were no hard figures in this RNS.

I agree that it now seems that the ship has turned a corner but without any hard financial data no one can run any numbers over Nanoco.

Also please remember that there are many shareholders that paid 37p in the share placing due to Tenner’s rhetoric and you will surely forgive them that this time they will not rush in.

@NGR: Don’t try to efface history and don’t put a cloak on all the big words that Tenner spouted - no doubt to lure retail investors for a 37p placing for which there was no economic justification in terms of share price issued.

Tenner only recently found his way to a more sober communication after having deliberately misled retail investors - so again no praise from me but I know that you are a professional Tenner cheerleader.

Qdnano: Just a shame that Tenner found his way to more sober communication after having misled investors for many months up to Samsung settlement.

This man deserves no praise whatsoever!!!

Everyone compare Tenner’s bombastic words from presettlement about Samsung litigation being only the cherry on the cake. Well the cherry on the cake was a crumbled old cherry and the cake turns out to be a small slice….obviously without any hard data in the RNS.

Maybe Lombard Odier with their fantastic independent analysis will know MUCH more.

Nanoco is a joke.

@LordWM: I hear you but once can also easily view the current share price as a sign of the catastrophic lack of trust and disillusionment of existing shareholders and reticence of other participants to become Nanoco shareholders.

I remain disgusted by the way Nanoco management and BoD have treated "their" investors.,

@TwoGood2Die: Yes, I have also decided not to pay the slightest heed to Edison...and yes for exactly the same reason...yeah...USD 250m only for the US market...

And Tenner saw all these "research" reports and remained silent.

@Nanonano: Yeah it was only for the US but remember that Tenner with gusto intoned that he would only agree to a settlement that would be global in scale and that would be a multiple of “current value”.

I don’t want to hark back but one needs to keep the past messaging in mind so not to be taken in too easily by current messaging.

Look there is neither right or wrong here as neither you nor I know what really went on at the heart of Nanoco but sometimes these share messaging boards get all hyped up and it’s good to have some people saying be cautious

@Nanonano: Troublesome has already made one valid point in his latest post and the one that I want to make is that I just cannot see any significant director share dealings.

And after the almost non existent transparency and communication with investors I also don’t believe that Tenner cares about retail investors at all.

I will make these points from time to time as O think that good and honourable people might be taken in by Tenner and the Board.

Oh and don’t get me wrong: Maybe they get commercialisation done but if the Samsung settlement is going to be the yardstick thank I don’t think we get a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte but a 99p Tesco orange slice one day before sell date…
