I appreciate the passion. I’m passionate too but I prefer things straight to the point.

I think it’s clear that the offer was rejected because of control not the SP. Had it been a lowball offer do you actually think MM out of all people would be hesitant at not stating - ‘Look at Apollo, they don’t value us and offered even less than 1.70!’.

Come on lads, there’s a reason why MM stayed clear from discussing the value, had it been lowball, we would’ve heard about it around 10 times right now.

OSG - I appreciate your long messages but in all honesty, I never read them and it just makes it harder to scroll through the actual messages I want to read. It’s just clutter.

There’s a reason why THG will never release the offer. Imagine a scenario with the government, say the tories tell the public that last year had we done a trade deal with ‘xxx’ it would have done wonders for the economy and inflation would’ve have come down instantly as well as interest rates.

The public would be in uproar seeing as how much we’ve been suffering. Now swap the tories for THG and the public for shareholders, it’ll make no sense for them to reveal the offer as we would all put the heat on MM.

You better have something up your sleeve Matt because the shareholders won’t allow it to continue much longer…

They valued Ingenuity at the current SP which was around 65-70p alone.

So you’re saying they must have had Nutrition and Beauty at a lower price than Ingenuity as that would make it less than 1.70 as a whole? I don’t believe it. Apollo aren’t minnows, they were serious in their interest.

MM in 2022 - £1.70 undervalues the company.

MM in 2023 to Apollo after an offer believed to be above £2.20 - ‘No thanks’.

Current share price - 66p

Before anyone mentions, I don’t care about how other companies are performing, MM has been a failure and he’s surrounded himself by a bunch of ‘yes men’ and in the end, it’s us that are suffering.

Forget about the posters. Think about MyProtein, by far the brand with the most potential and when I say potential, I am saying it could be a word leading, global brand and the division itself is £2 minimum.

The fact that the whole group is floating around at 67p is absurd.

The fact that this has been at these levels for the past few years is absurd.

The fact that the Apollo offer was rejected without consulting the shareholders is absurd.

The fact the CEO is behaving like a child and isn’t doing more to drive up the SP is absurd.

Don’t turn this into Boohoo where posters argue with each other. We have bigger fish to fry b

what ****e? explain how any of this is incorrect? you may not like it, but if you can back it up instead of spouting your ****e that would be great boy.

Right* or ruhht. Who cares at this point.

This stock is a dream for shorters. Just sell each time it rises because it always, always, follows the same pattern.

In April, if you held your nerve, the exact same thing happened even after that Apollo RNS. It’s pathetic to see.

Remember this clown saying ‘No Thanks’ to them.

Yeah, thanks for this. Around a year ago everyone shared the same excitement with the Iceland deal and a year on, the SP is in a worse position.

So you can get excited about this nonsense, I’m waiting for MM to provide us with a real update about the future.

The hero we all needed.

This was his message a few days ago:

I disagree with your “next to nothing” point. Business is about ethics, trust and transparency. They would be letting down, friends, family, THG employees and charities who have all invested heavily in Matt and the team.

As Matt mentioned 18 months ago, £1.70 significantly undervalues the business, we are now in a significantly better position then we were, whey prices have dropped off a cliff (as seen in H1 numbers) Ingenuity has had 100’s million spent in Capex and will now start to reap the rewards, not to mention a market leading, “best in class” beauty division.

A £900m current valuation is a joke and is why we need our board to start showing ALL investors what they are going to do to improve it, or make a fair offer to take it back private.

Putting aside ethics, trust and transparency, the board would need to win a 75% vote on any proposed price. The 35% club of LTH’s and “the quick money investors” would never agree to anything that isn’t a fair valuation, let alone some of the other major investors I’ve spoken to who form part of the infamous 65% club.

Remember, “£1.70 significantly undervalued the business” 18 months ago. Look how far we have come since!

premium listing is absolute dog ****. just look at asos, this needs taking off the market, the same market that the ceo loathes.

i sure ******* hope so.

Wtf would Boohoo and Asos have an impact here. Isn’t that an issue itself Matt? You have to rely on other bloody companies to do half decent to ensure the shareholders who own your company are doing well? Ridiculous.

More reasons why this is ridiculous keeping it listed in this shady market.

Manc on Monday morning - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lF7M0FISH5Y

Lol @Manc - wtf, who sells at the bottom even if you’re averaging higher. I hope that’s sarcasm.

Remember what Buffett said - ‘The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient’.

MM has been annoying but unlike other CEOs, he’s unpredictable and that’s a big reason why you don’t want to sell out out of stock because of emotion as we don’t know what’s in store for the future. If you believe in the company then the quote above will hit home more than it ever has before.

I hope MM goes into the weekend taking a long, hard think about that comment left by Jamie. No doubt he’s read it and is tempted to reply, especially after seeing the number of likes left on it.

If you haven’t already, I suggest you email investor relations asking for clarity whilst referencing that comment because it exemplifies everything and has enough attention on a platform which has many eyes on it, including Matthew’s.
