Im guessing the throwaway comment he is referring to is the one in the article 2 days ago in This is MOney where they stated "Moulding, 51, had been approached to de-list THG by funds 'looking at good assets that are undervalued',"
Thus knowing they had been approached THG had to make a public announcement in response to the press speculation.
"A throw-away line in an otherwise typically wildly inaccurate press piece, resulted in a share price spike and an obligation to make an announcement, culminating in a c.45% increase in the share price on the day. Ouch!"
