I still think it's positive for this share, if she can recoup $1.2m for unpaid royalties for Conexion Entertainment Group (US) she sounds like a toughie! Just what's needed in the shark pool of licensing/publishing music.
Looks to me that there are two separate companies: Conexion Entertainment Group (US) is a separate entity from Conexion Media Group plc and not the US outpost of the UK company. It reads to me that ms du Bois is head of Conexion Media Group plc in US and a partner in Conexion Entertainment Group (US) which is the company that had a settlement from Microsoft/Yahoo. Be great if I'm wrong
I've sat on these shares for so long without any news and it's my worst performing share so, forgive me for getting carried away at the slightest sign of good news. As i read it that's real revenue increase - maybe one year only but a move in the right direction.
NATHALIE DU BOIS - President, Conexion Entertainment Group (US) Nathalie Du Bois is currently the Head of North America on behalf of Conexion Media Group plc, a global media operation maintaining offices throughout the world including Toronto, New York, Nashville and LA. Ms. Du Bois is also a partner in Conexion Entertainment Group which maintains a catalogue of over 100,000 commercial and independent music titles and has secured placements in nearly every network show on television. In the last two years, she’s been involved in monetizing dormant catalogues and securing over $1.2 M in unpaid performance royalties on behalf of one of their clients. She also served as the leading party for one of Conexion’s copyright infringement lawsuits against Microsoft/Yahoo which resulted in a multi-million dollar settlement. Prior to Conexion, Ms. Du Bois was responsible for co-founding and building Kid Gloves Music where she negotiated the first contracts with studios for licensing of commercial music under a blanket deal. Her company was the first selected by Disney to provide complete music services for its’ Direct to DVD projects. Ms. Du Bois is sought after in the publishing industry for her longstanding relationships and ability to negotiate deals on behalf of her clients which have resulted in the placement of over one thousand pieces of music in various film and television projects. Her innovative approach to structuring deals resulted in her organically growing the catalogue from 3,500 songs to the 100,000 that comprises the copyrights that CEG currently administers and/or owns today.
This is showing on yahoo: +15.29% 0.49p - Do you think Yahoo are playing games after their legal defeat?
She looks like a winner! If she recovered $1.2m in one year plus the Yahoo victory this share must be under valued. Look at the spread though! MM's dont want to trade it.
No news?
Hopefully recent managment changes will make this a more popular brand soon
Not much action but feels safe to me
Yes - boring but safe. One of my better buys.
I thought this was on the move - wrong again. Such a good product and so right for today
Almost there
Up 6.25% today not dead yet

Worth holding I think - won't be adding as at top end of range
Even with recent fluctuations this has been my best buy through the recession. Prob too boring for most!
I think this will follow the general trend of the market. Not strong enough to break away on its own. Lot of upside on this one when worldwide recovery comes!
A few buys under £1000 today - huge spread.
Still moving slowly - new target 34p from brokers
