BMR shares8 Mar 2019 12:08
Very difficult to say with any certainty how many JLP shares BMR still hold.
Sticking to the facts, the last notification on the 18th Dec (when they dropped below the 3% threshold) it was 31,152,693 shares.
I believe that BMR most likely now hold 16,092,586 JLP shares, but I don't believe all of the shares BMR have disposed of have been sold into the market yet, and there will be some sitting with a broker waiting to be sold into the market.
My reason for this is below.
A number of trades after the last TR1 were unusual in that they were matched trades, with two identical trades after hours at different prices, and the number of shares involved also matching a number of other flagged trades during the day. On each occasion one of the matching trades was at 2.25p or 2.3p, being way below the BID at the time and not having any impact on the SP. This indicated that it could be a managed sell off, and I've tallied up the totals.
The last unusual trade at 2.25p was on 22nd Jan for 9,946,599 shares. This had no impact on the SP despite the trading volume not supporting that number of shares being sold, and there were no matched trades to go with it. I am of the view that a proportion of those shares have not been sold into the market yet. How many are left from that trade I do not know.
