Anything below 3p certainly seems to be being soaked up at the moment ! will have to break that at some point today surely.

Well the volume of late has been relatively small and the placing shares were due to be admitted today so I guess we now know the identity of the "existing shareholder" who bought the 5+ million shares at 9.75 pence. A 9% holding has got to show a fair bit of confidence?

I think some of the drop in microsalt since wednesday will have been down to warrant holders selling a few shares to pay for the warrants, they would have been aware they were going to be triggered when it closed over £1.29. They have to be paid for by the 6th which is only a few days, It's also going to put about £3.4 million into microsalt's bank account, I can't see many holders not taking the warrants with the current share price!. All it needs now is a good RNS about orders and contracts, they should have enough cash to ramp up production.

Hi Chile so TEK hold approx 2.6 million warrants. I presume therefore if I have read that RNS right they need to cough up roughly £1.23 million by the 6th June to pay for them?

Question is has the seller notified shield, if they had there would have been a tr1?. Surely shield wouldn't update the website till they're notified officially ??. Or I could be completely wrong and jusy be guessing!.

Agreed Top a raise at the current share price would not go down well and would probably have been difficult to do. Looks like an arranged deal trades reported for ten past eleven yesterday Lombard Odier asset management seem to have taken 750k and another trade for 250k.

And sold at 21.5p not exactly a premium lets hope it's to help the microsalt IPO and not just to pay Cliff's bonus !!

Tek have reduced their belluscura holding by 1 million shares

I agree these small deals are not in isolation goint to significantly change the company. As part of the bigger picture however they send a clear message that this is not just a good idea IT WORKS , you are not going to get a fortune 500 company to change their ingedient and production by just having a product that is a good idea they want to see real world proof and that is what these small deals provide. In some ways you could say this is advertising they are telling the big boys (and potential IPO investors) "We can do it it works" , or why announce it at all (my opinion obviously)

Hi Boyg think part of the problem may have been it was only for exisiting shareholders and not many of the more popular investment platforms took part. If you held your shares with a platform that wasn't doing the book build you could not buy as far as i understood it ?

Hi Gian I apologise if my post seemed arrogant. In response to your question I have looked at these products and they are lower in sodium, that however is replaced by a potassium salt which some people say leaves a metallic taste. I have not tried them I was put off by the health warnings and didn't look any further, I would rather use ordinary salt sparingly. This is where I think microsalt has no real competitor it is the same salt no substitute but you can simply use less for the same taste. I think the salt shakers are a great product but it is the food manufacturing companies that will (hopefully) turn this into a truly massive company, they are struggling to reduce the sodium in their products but replacing that with something else may bring other problems. Also they use salt by the lorry load, come on microsalt. That is the question when will microsalt be able to supply large volumes of product to enter into large contracts? if we knew that!. All my opinion obviously.

oops kidney not liver read the thing before pressing post

Hi Sea agreeed the two products are worlds apart. The others call themselves low salt but really you are only swapping one type for another, low sodium would be more accurate.
More importantly saxa so low has the health warning " People with heart or kidney problems should consult their doctor before use" and lo salt has the warning "People receiving medication for diabetes, heart or kidney disorders should consult their doctor before using a reduced sodium salt."
Based on those warnings I think i will steer clear of salt substitutes thanks. Can you imagine any food manufacturer using that type of salt substitute and putting those sort of warnings on their ready meals or crisps. what percentage of their customers suffer with diabetes heart or liver problems anyone hazard a guess, no wonder there is so much interest in microsalt.

Much better volume today and up over 20% so if there is any leaky news at least it looks like it may be good.

Looks like Tek were part of fridays 45p trade that crossed at same price and have sold about two million shares in BELL . Wont sell any more for six months without consent, wonder what the £900,000 is going to be used for?

AOP may have picked up a lot of cheap shares but they already had a considerable holding at a much higher price like most LTH here I should imagine. They took 14.3 million shares in the last placing at a cost of 30p .I don't think they would be doubling their money selling at this price. Anyone want to take a stab at what their average may be?

17% up now definitely some buying pressure this afternoon. It was interesting that AOP converted the 41m shares immediately, if they thought the share price would be flat or drop then surely they would have waited and let the money accumulate interest. Also good for shield in that it reduces the overall interest on the loan.

Two bigger buys at over the ask today, someone feels this is worthwile at this level.

No buy back again yesterday, the average buy back price seems to have been below 90p . have they set that as an upper limit on the buy back ? ,at least the share price is holding steady without the company buying.

Cantor have reduced their holding yesterday by about 1.3% according to todays tr1 . If they had the placing shares at 0.08p why sell when the price has been lower? anyone brighter than me got any idea?
