At least there's a little money left over for some drug trials.

R2R - don't worry, another seven months of this and the postage will be more valuable than the share certificates.

By the time the FOS gets round to dealing with the matter, we'll probably be worth a dollar at this rate. There are so few buyers, and who can blame them when our central selling point has been knocked for six? The saving grace is there are also very few sellers, so the MMs are having to take up the slack with trades in the ones and tens of shares. Meanwhile our investments are devastated without any guidance from the company about the altered circumstances.

Nice one, Ace. I can almost guarantee you'll get the same brush-off email I got from the PR/IR woman, but at least we've let them know there are people watching. Radio silence from Maguire at this point.

At the moment we are defying gravity. Whether it's because low free float allows the SP to be propped up cheaply, or whether it's because someone knows something we don't, is not clear. I suggest we all pester the Company and their PR/IR for some answers - that is what I have been doing. I doubt we will receive individual replies, but perhaps it will make the Company aware how appalling it is that two weeks after a wholly optimistic conference call, we are now left without any guidance as to the future, after the failure of SHP656 to achieve a key metric.

Agree, gentlemen, this has been a shabby deal at every level right from the beginning: marooned on some rubbish market for three years through some bright spark's idea to fast track to NASDAQ turned into a slow track to nowhere; then when we finally achieve a NASDAQ listing, the IPO's at a fraction of what we paid. Then EPO doesn't come up to scratch in the Oz trials; now the same has happened with SHP656. Meanwhile directors pay themselves lavish salaries and award each other stock options. I am at about ⅓ the price I bought at more than five years ago.

Clem - as I said before, I use iWeb share dealing, part of Halifax. IG too.

I'm perplexed, as we all are, by the terse announcement Monday. I have no idea what's going on but am glad we haven't dropped further - yet.

One recalls the halcyon days pre-Leeson - those tranquil, summer-will-never-end days when LPX had some value. I blame poor jokes.

Jonny, what's a DTS stock? I suggest you try to sort it out with IG, others, including myself, use them for buying and selling XBIO. Failing that, try iWeb share dealing.

MM-induced drop today ahead of Shire news - late May/early June, with luck.

I agree Clem, very probably a big heap of ordure. But short of an expensive and possibly fruitless legal pursuit, what can you do but put the authorities onto them, swallow your frustration and maybe harass them long and often? The fact that they have waived thhe fees for two quarters suggests they feel vulnerable to accusations of at least neglect, but again, trying to nail them as an individual would probably not be worthwhile

in the old dog yet? (And one is not referring to oneself). Up 8.8℅.

r2r - good for you for putting the skates under these people. They happily take outrageous fees for trading obscure markets but will do nothing to help customers unless pressured. Someone has been dragging their feet it seems. II is putting the blame on the US registrar but why weren't these documents sent years ago?

put pressure on your current broker by saying you'll speak to the Financial Conduct Authority in London, under whose purvue I'd expect your broker to come - https://www.fca.org.uk/contact

Clem - That sounds ridiculous, they must be able to give you some idea of timescales. And why are your shares held hostage by this Fund Custodian? I'd demand some answers from whoever this is - most of us have not had these issues once we listed on NASDAQ. If getting tough with them doesn't work, I'd get in touch with the NASDAQ regulator in the US, and at the same time XBIO's PR/IR people - Jenene Thomas Communications, LLC.

cfh - seems to me the first thing you need to sort out is how many post-consolidation shares you own - is it 10,000, with a present value of in excess of $40,000, or 10,000 ÷ 33, with a value of ~$1300? Only you, by checking your records, can determine that. Or, if you have no records, your broker at the time you bought. Perhaps that is the place to start looking for advice what to do next. Are you certain your original broker cannot trade the shares, now they are NASDAQ listed?

cfh - are you seriously so nonchalent about your holding? At last night's close of over $4, if you have 10k shares after consolidation, they are worth $40,000 plus. So yes, get your holding transferred to a UK broker who will trade NASDAQ stocks (assuming you live in the UK).

Jonny, I use iWeb share dealing. Initial signup is pricey but US trades are then a fiver. Alternatively IG Index have no signup fee but US trades are $15.

Yes Clem, lots of us were EPD holders, which turned into Kopane, which got bought by FDI, which is when I sold. Several of us piled in here. Wish I'd stuck it out at FDI, would be better off than where we are now with XBIO. But I do think we're in a good place for a turnaround soon here.
