“Exercise of the Option is conditional, amongst other things, on:

“Admission of the enlarged issued share capital of AAOG to trading on a recognised investment exchange.” And..
AAOG having raised at least £1 million from the issue of new shares...”

“it remains the intention of the board to re-admit the Company's shares to trading upon exercise of the Option or once it has found another suitable business with which to partner.”

So the exercise of the option depends on the enlarged no. of shares being admitted to trading on a stock exchange. And once the option has been exercised, they will apply to have the shares re-admitted to trading. So which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

macgerry: LSE is a very useful site, you’ve got a lot of information available in one place here. But their policy of banning informed posters who are not optimistic about the prospects of a company has caused many of these posters to de-camp to ADVFN, where in some cases the standard of debate is at least as good now as on LSE. Angus Energy is a good example and it seems a debate is now being held across the two bbs! There are trolls on both sites, sadly. And Ocelot.

Isn’t Miton part of a larger fund management group? It’s not usual for a fund manager to take 50% of a speculative AIM company and its investment beyond 30% should have been the trigger for a bid, shouldn’t it?

gkb47: That flew out.

I see. It seems that JDA Consulting has a holding in Forum Energy Limited of a similar size to Carlos’s. It’s all very incestuous but may signify nothing at all. Forest Nominees is nothing to do with Paul Forrest, as far as one can tell. In any case, the entity with the holding in Angus is Forest Nominees Guernsey, isn’t it? A quite different entity and one that doesn’t feature at Companies House.

gkb47: I see. It seems JFA consulting has a holding in Forum Energy Limited of a similar size to Carlos’s.

gkb47: what am I missing? I can’t see a reference to him in any of the Companies House documents on Forum Energy Ltd.

@Dorothy thinks there is some confusion over Forrest (ie Paul Forrest) and Forest Nominees. Is there any connection between Paul Forrest and Frazer Lang? It’s Frazer Lang’s nominee company that owns 10.14% of Anguish, isn’t it? Not Paul Forrest. I can’t see a reference to Paul Forrest holding any significant number of shares of Anguish.

I think this is all just a smokescreen.

gkb47: when was Carlos involved at Forum Energy? He wasn’t a Director, was he?

LSE is unbelievable!

HITS: yes, I concede! Your French is too good for me. There’s no denying a **** is masculine. That’s clinched it for sure. Mind you, a bright red ****erel is unusual, they’re more often a sort of tawny, auburn colour in places.. no, I must stop it. I suppose it refers to the ****scomb.

Well done, digging up the apparently long-lived M. Villon!

HITS: yes, I see the internet uses roux for auburn. It was roux, rouge when I did French at school. Time marches on, innit? Yes, vin rouge. It was an auburn-red herring that I was referring to. No, it’s no good, is it? Herang rouge then. Ugh.

Irishmouse:

“ O, Civile, si ergo,
Fortibus es inero!
O nobile, demis trux.
Vadis indem? geesean dux.”

I don’t know about putting it to music but it would make a pretty US Marine Corps marching song. Semper Fi. Hoorah!

Irishmouse: remembering enough Latin even for the small task you have set would be too time-consuming a challenge for me! There is, however, a nice poem in Latin(!) - as you know, I suspect - concerning geese and ducks. And trux. I could copy that for you..

Yes, you noticed too! She’s not her usual imperturbable self, is she? I wonder if she’ll use her employer’s influence with this site to get more posters banned? You know where to find me, anyway, if I disappear here..

Yes, I do think the masculine of the French adjective meaning “red” is roux! No, herbivore is a noun, brown is an adjective. I was merely trying to demonstrate the fact that the verb “to be” in English and in Latin can be equally happily preceded and followed by a noun as by an adjective.

If only I had a million shares in this! Your proposed wager represents the best offer I’ve had this week.

Irishmouse: you think this has gone on for too long? Perhaps you're right. I shall desist from further classical allusions and leave the field to my expert interlocutor.

Ocelot has got a bit upset, I think, on the other site. I suspect she or her firm pays this lot quite a lot for a free rein on their company bbs. Better not to risk a ban..

HITS: an intransitive verb can as easily be followed by a verb as an adjective. The gnu is a herbivore. The gnu is brown. Innit?

If the herang were rouge, it would assume that you’d identified it positively as a female. Hareng is a masculine noun, hence roux, not rouge.

I preferred Horace and Ovid to Virgil, though his Georgics were good. Much better than the Aeneid. All that stuff about chopping down mountain ashes with double-headed (bipennibus?) axes - all for a dull extended simile. Ghastly.

HITS: yes, I got a decent one! “To be demonstrated” isn’t an adjective. “For a demonstration” which is an alternative translation, is more a noun than an adjective. The absence of the requirement for an object with the verb “to be” in either language is un hareng roux, n’est ce pas? Innit?

Sic in omnibus..

HITS: Ah, I see now. You have fallen into this error through reliance on the internet. Demonstrandum, meaning “for a/the demonstrating/demonstration seems to me be a verbal noun (gerund), not a verbal adjective (gerundive)! What’s declension got to do with it? Declensions are categories of noun.

AAOG delendum est.

HITS: nil carborundum is more apt when it comes to Ocelot, I think.

gerund..

HITS: I agree. The most recent two posts by her on the Angus site are unusual. She must know they’re entirely incorrect. They seem to be influencing the opinions of at least two investors there, both with substantial shareholdings. Her posts seem clearly aimed at preventing selling by such people. She’s taking a personal risk with this, if she’s an employee of Angus or its advisers and it seems to me a bit late in the day to be doing so. Is it desperation?
QED!

I see that the poster Ocelot is persisting in pushing the £8mm. “valuation” on the Angus Energy bb. This seems to me disgraceful. I hope no one will be misled by it, it’s simply wrong, both technically and ethically.
