What are the consequences of submitting your TR1 late?10 Nov 2020 19:59
Follow me down this hypothetical rabbit hole:
You are a major player (J&J, Pfizer, Gilead or more likely a subsidiary or venrock type acting on their behalf) who had bought most of the £80m new shares, then 2 days before you are due to submit your TR1, the SP halves and you believe this is an over-reaction. An opportunity too good to miss.
You know that you can acquire shares half price now without driving the share price up. You know that if the TR1 were to be released then it would likely cause the SP to recover.
You buy all he shares you can in the fire sale.
Then, when happy hour runs out, do you keep your head down and keep acquiring?
What would be the consequences of submitting a day or two late?
