I got the full amount of shares plus the additional non-guaranteed ones. What could explain the difference? Not sure as the only condition was holding on a certain date. My broker is HL.

I just got my shares, applied for the max 2500ish I was offered and got them all, but you are only 18 shares off the max.
I’ve been in since 130 last March so decided to sell and enjoy taking the profit! Might well be back but I’ll certainly be supporting MAB with the vouchers I just got, GLA :-)

In their communications I noticed they said the shares would appear in your account “on or around the 12th” - covered themselves there!

Same here. HL does seem to be going downhill. Now has no broker ratings for each share, no trade data either - was told both were only temporarily absent as the data supplier was being changed, think they were being economical with the truth.

So I expect we’ll get our shares some time tomorrow after the IIs have had their fun?

Agree with you on pub shares, I’m in quite heavily since March. My selling MAB and buying a fraction back at 210p just seems like an interesting opportunity. Can’t see all the capital raise as priced in fully at this stage but we’ll see.

It does encourage people to sell and I suspect the buyers would be Odyzean. They avoided a takeover and choose this method instead, investors will also take the opportunity for a quick profit with allocated shares too.

Thanks pseudonym. I’m used to RIs, this is a bit different. Have taken up the open offer shares having sold most of my holding a few days ago, hoping for a quick profit next week :-)

From mbplc.com it seems to me that it is your holding on the 19th feb that is used to determine the allocation you get, even though this is scheduled for next week. I’m surprised by that but it’s there in black and white. DYOR but I’ve sold most of my holding and I’ll apply for my full allocation hoping the SP remains above 210p (might do some estimates on that first!)

That’s what I’d expect too but so far can find no mention of it - only that you need to be holding at close on 19th Feb to qualify. Anyone know for sure?

I mean selling my holding now at 310 taking my profit and then taking up the offer to buy the smaller fraction offered at 210, then selling soon after at some price over 210(assuming it is) and moving on from mab. The profit from this could come by holding but it seems easier this way and seeking other opportunities. Hence this way increases the holding of the companies seeking a takeover without paying a much higher price.

A share transaction tax would hit hedge funds and high frequency trading? Unless there is a loophole, so I guess they’ll be a loophole! With us PIs getting clobbered as usual.

What’s stopping PIs selling up now and buying back at 210p and then banking the profit immediately? Or is this the passive takeover part?

I’m used to RIs where you can sell the rights but here there is no such option. As I held MAB on the 19th I qualify but won’t the SP just move down towards 210p now? Why not sell my shares and take up the offer at 210p? I’m not keen on LTH now as this is now a takeover without the big rise imo.

88% of covid deaths were from the groups that have now been vaccinated. My worry now is how convoluted the return to normal will be, but we will return to normal now.

Obesity is much larger problem here and we have many more clinically vulnerable too - these groups are where most of the death toll come from. We probably count much more rigorously too.

If we’ve vaccinated 14m and still can’t open up pubs etc by April then what’s the point of the vaccinations? By April 30m+ will have had the jab so the downward pressure on covid is only increasing from here. Roll on normality.

Our restrictions on foreign travel and those coming to the UK have been the weakest part of our response- only now are the government thinking this is a good idea and overreacting saying the maximum penalty is 10yrs for non-compliance. Unbelievable.

Onnnneeeee huuuundred :-)

(Now 180p for the perfect darts tally!)

bids from platinum
Others up too: MAB up 6% JDW up 5%
Momentum really in our favour, I’m staying in for a while more
