I’ve already voted NO as guidance hasn’t been amended so genuinely hope they’re not as bad as some are peddling in here and on certain press releases.

Official Audited accounts are all we want and no doubt these also will have been scrutinised by FCA reps.

Well as expected, the annual accounts, restated 22 and 23 accounts and interims all going to the wire.

Absolutely shocking from the BoD and all probably deliberate to try and get this deal (steal) through underhand tactics.

Clearly some parties with the group have been acting as if they’re on Sid’s executive board rather than our board with articles being released to the press etc.

Let’s hope even the main players with the group realise these accounts must be released next week for proper scrutiny then action, if necessary, can be taken against certain individuals IF they have been complicit in hiding the real numbers and issuing false guidance etc.

TRANSPARENCY please is all we ask for.

Still no accounts - why ? Need another Jackanory to write them up.

Decent post below JO. 👍

8CP interim accounts out now so o doubt Syme’s latest no actual business revenue accounts will be issued shortly.

See he’s still at his antics across the pond. His usual word salad being used to establish a framework for evaluating a controlling interest in a mystery company lol.

The same “mystery company” who is currently trying to get an ELOC through 250,000,000 shares lol.

Honestly you couldn’t make this up. Total desperation to create articles

NO to everything as they are clearly trying to push this through without accounts transparancey.

Surely the accounts must be legally submitted to shareholders for their consideration and to assess, prior to the meeting, what the extent of the fookery has been in previous years.

I’ve already voted NO so decision was made at the derisory 30p offer.

Ocean Wilsons rebel: Wind down better than 'destructive' Hansa takeover

Ocean Wilsons shareholder Arnhold is urging investors to vote against a takeover by investment company Hansa, describing it as 'destructive' to value.

27 August 2025

An Ocean Wilsons (OCN) shareholder is hoping to rally support to block a takeover by Hansa (HANA ), warning shareholders would receive more value from a wind-up than from this ‘destructive’ deal.

US value investor Arnhold has published an open letter criticising investment company Hansa’s offer for its largest holding Ocean Wilsons. It makes up 23% of the £160m global fund and has been a holding for more than 66 years.

Arnhold said the deal offered by Hansa was ‘deeply flawed and unfair’, as well as being ‘destructive to shareholders of Ocean Wilsons’. The shareholder is urging other investors to vote against the proposed takeover at a meeting on 12 September.

Hansa has put forward an all-share combination that would see Ocean Wilsons’ shareholders receive new Hansa share units, comprised of one Hansa voting ordinary share and two Hansa non-voting A shares. The value would be based on a ratio determined by the relative valuation of Hansa and Ocean Wilsons’ adjusted net assets.

They seem to have a valid point and we might be in the same boat.

All done and voted against the shafting.

I’ll be voting NO

Just received this.

Won’t be moving on Stew as will be looking at the accounts then will assess what’s going to happen going forwards.

There’s no way on this planet that if there’s any wrongdoing re any major covered up historical accounting issues then no investors/shareholders will sit back and take a shafting as we are currently being minded to accept.

So until accounts are submitted then we are limbo

Need the accounts published to see WTF the state of play actually is.

2026 Guidance has still not altered so they can’t be that bad surely ?

If accounts have shown major accounting discrepancies from previous years and also including 2024 accounts then there’s going to be squeaky bod bums.

well they’ll certainly need to cobble up some other ****** to ensure they can distribute £5.15m worth of shares to themselves again won’t they 😂

Just imagine the AGM IF the 24 accounts ever see the light of day and a confirmed AGM is organised. 2 seat table within a bullet proof enclosure will be required lol.

The Company is continuing to work with its auditors to finalise the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report"), and intends, once the 2024 Annual Report has been published to make an application to the FCA for the temporary suspension of the Company's shares from the Official List and from trading on the London Stock Exchange to be lifted. Following the publication of the 2024 Annual Report, the Company also expects to announce the date on which it plans to hold its next Annual General Meeting.

So where are the accounts then ? £2M allegedly received and the statement regarding the remaining £2.18M du next month should be adequate for the going concern statement from the auditor should it not ?

Ok. So AZ

TAG is 1AF2 S.r.l. (following the merge / “buy out” by AZ ) and guess who is bankrupt ?

2024 and interim accounts due so let’s see what lies within them. Asssuming the auditor signs them off on the basis of the forthcoming £2.1M which may or may not ever come through.

Atanasoff, the game being played out across the pond is to settle his dues with DW and similar here hence the IP clause.

Remember TAG is bankrupt and debts being pursued by creditors lol.
