RNS not showing:
KR1 plc (KR1:ASE), a leading digital asset investment company, announces that the Company is today issuing a circular (the "Circular") to Shareholders convening a General Meeting of the Company for 10.00 a.m. on 29 April 2024.
At the General Meeting, a resolution will be proposed seeking shareholder approval for KR1 to make market purchases of up to 14.99 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares currently in issue.
The Directors believe that, in common with many other listed companies, the Company should obtain from Shareholders a general authority to make market purchases of its Ordinary Shares on the stock exchange. Accordingly, the Board is seeking Shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting to make market purchases of up to 14.99 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares currently in issue.
If the Resolution is passed at the EGM, the Buy-Back Authority will give the Company authority to buy back its Ordinary Shares in the market as permitted by the Act and the Articles. Any Ordinary Shares bought back may be cancelled or held in treasury.
The Buy-Back Authority will expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 (the "2025 AGM") or the date falling 18 months after the passing of the Resolution, whichever is the earlier. However, the Directors currently intend to ask Shareholders to renew this authority at the 2025 AGM and each subsequent annual general meeting thereafter.
The Resolution specifies the maximum number of shares which may be acquired (up to 14.99 per cent. of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital as at the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting) and the maximum prices at which they may be bought.
The Buy-Back Authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would be in the best interests of Shareholders generally.

Today's FT Money supplement article headlined 'UK Stocks: Bargains or to be avoided at all costs
'There are plenty of opportunities outside of the US. London is stuffed full of quality companies offering a real mix to investors, from solidly perfroming household names such as AstraZeneeca, well run businesses such as Relx, smaller innovators such as hVivo and downtrodden sectors such as consumer discretionary, where stocks like Games Workshop are now on reasonable valuations'.
Demonstrates how times have changed and how Mo has changed the perception of the company.

For people who are unable to access the article because it's behind a paywall there one other key nugget of information:
According to the Time's Meatly's chief executive Owen Ensor has a key advantage
'another key advantage over companies trying to magic up steaks or pork chops — he does not need to worry about texture, which bothers humans much more than animals. “Pets care what food smells like and they care what it tastes like, and if it has the right nutrients,” he said. “But they don’t particularly care what it looks like or if it has the right kind of texture.”
David Wainwright, commercial director at Pets at Home, which will be the first retailer to sell Meatly’s cat food, said: “We are committed to helping drive change in the industry and finding sustainable alternatives to replace some of the protein used globally in pet food would be a major step forward.”

Good review of partnership between Fortnum & Masons and Ivy Farms to produce cultured meat surround for Scotch egg. The article also suggests that the Government has advised that it expects the FSA to approve cultured meat this year.

Hi all,
if at some point if hVIVO is sold to another CRO a decision will need to be made concerning the Imutex asset.
I can't see it being included in the disposal, which means it will need to be either extracted and floated. Alternatively, we could sell our 49% stake in the business.
I believe movement on this asset will come before any possible sale to hVivo?
Does anybody have any thoughts?
regards

Pruduct on the shelves in 2024 and Meatly plans expansion into the US and Canada over the next two years.
PETA is supportive in the article, while host of the podcast 'A Dog's Life' says it is unclear if the lab-grown meat has the same nutritional value as meat from animals.

Thank you for the reply Littlened.
However, I was hoping to find out what % EWI owns of SpaceX?
I'm assuming its well under 1% but it would be really useful to know.
