SO THEY SAY 26.86% BUT APPARENTLY ONLY 24.03% OF THE VOTING RIGHTS! HOW COME?

Top 3 SAG shareholders are Chairman 25.7%,Cannacord Genuity 15.7% and Ruffer 9.7%. Any two have over 25% together and in total control SAG with 53.1%, It would be interesting to know to what extent they worked together wrt SAG's attempt to acquire TPG, as it happens that Cannacord Genuity 11.7% and Ruffer7.5% were already also two of the largest shareholders in TPG prior to SAG declaring it's interest in acquiring TPG.
Subsequently SAG purchased the Ruffer 7.5% holding in TPG at 6.5p (highest price paid so far) helped to get the ball rolling. It appears today that SAG have increased their holding to 22.3%
of TPG. They are alone close to the 25% level that attracts certain privileges.
SAG's holding of 22.3% if combined with Cannacord's 11.7% would take it to 34% which would require them to make a bid at 6.5p (unconditional?) That would only be the case if they acquired Cannacords holding or were considered to be in concert with them. Might the latter be the case?

It appears that the over 58m shares that Science Group (SAG) acquired in TPG came from Rufler LLP who are in turn a holder of 3,974,751 shares in SAG (9.7% of their issued capital).
While not familiar with SAG they appear to be very thin on net assets relative to their market capitalisation, and at present quite a lot of debt relative to non-debt assets and are highlighting their EPS progress including relative to 2019 when it appears they reported losses! Or were there included write-offs that have flattered in reporting the subsequent near term rate of progress they have reported. Anyone more familiar with SAG recent history better able to comment and/or provide a perspective on the above ?

Any ideas as to why there was a temporary spike in the share price today between 11am & 12 Noon - stock was being offered at >300p.

Have seen Mr Hill's sum of parts analysis - interesting but not exactly taken by it as is.
I posted 22nd February 2021 (share price then 318p )following a Simon Thompsom ( Investor Chronicle) mention. "I have not yet seen it but thanks for alerting me to the latest Investor Chronicle mention. The sum of parts argument is worth considering over and above a share price of 300p. First, the property development potential at Luton providing around 1000 good quality flats whilst allowing for relocation of the existing factory-say £30k a flat less moving costs etc say at least £15m net. Second, the crystallisation of value within 18 months of the 60% interest in their Australian subsidiary Magnetica maybe by a listing could be worth between £30m and £50m. Thirdly, the possibility of new near term waste treatment orders from Sellafield & medium/long term extensions to
the successful 3M box contracts. Capitalised value £?m
At 300p the company has market capital value of about £100m well supported by their two pronged energy
business. Each £10m of additional value from sources (1), (2) & (3) above equates to 30p/share. Do your own
calculations as to where the share price could be heading! Would be interested to see any details of Simon
Thompson's perhaps similar figure work"
Since then they have sold very well for £35m cash the Peter Brotherhood business., obtained a major £20m extension to their box contract, separated out the future potential of Booth Industries, and formally tendered via Savills their Luton (1000 flats + Commercial too) development site. Add those to the above (February 2021) sum of parts and you can get a better feel for the potential this year for >400p - to what extent will perhaps be influenced by any announcements as to progress at Magnetica. To some extent the above has cleared the decks for what next out of the hat?

I will be surprised if Simon Thompson does not soon pick-up on today's announcement too.
Also still in the pipeline are the potential Luton property development and options to possibly monetise the majority holding in Magnetica - and perhaps another acquisition?

Why the sudden interest in TCN today?

Reached the £100m milestone yesterday.

Am I right in thinking that the recent episodes of 'Baby Surgeons: Delivering Miracles from St Georges (TV Channel 4) may be a factor behind the continuing uptick in our shares?

There were around 79 trades in our shares yesterday(4th May) . Anyone able to identify who or what led to this renewed interest? For example was it comment from Simon Thompson again or a new source?

Jab1tt I agree with your view " smart little niche" on the company - however as regards being "'snapped-up" I hope not too soon as the management has ambitions for much greater things down the road and with investor support should achieve them. Meantime a dividend as well. New investors continue to see it's attractions.

Any one know what is behind today's rise in the share price?

Not seen content of Simon Thompson's latest recommendation but it is helpful to have him onside. He did previously provide support in print towards end of October last year when the SP was circa 82p.

LSE has an annoying habit of categorising many 'larger' delayed trades as Buy or Sell based on the mid-market spread at the time they are published, when if they were categorised in relation to the mid-market spread at the time of the actual trade it would have been the opposite to that given. Often looks as if the actual time when the delayed trade is notified is geared to that knowledge! Such a trade in IHC was tagged this afternoon as a buy having taken place this morning when if reported then it would have been tagged as a sell..

I UNDERSTAND IT HAS BEEN TIPPED TODAY BY SIMON THOMPSON OF THE INVESTORS CHRONICLE - surprised he took so long to discover it!
Approaching 200 trades already today.

Anyone aware why there has been a flurry of trades this morning?

Agree with Rich62 comments -company has an interesting future. Premier Miton Group was the largest holder after adding in size to their holding during the placing at 65p in July. Since then it has seemingly been a seller around that price or lower. Why? It has probably been surpassed as the largest holder by BGF Investment Management. It appears to me that uncertainty as to Premier Miton Groups Intentions has been restraining the present share price progress. Clarification would be helpful!
