Lapse of Offer



The Provident Board notes the announcement by Non-Standard Finance plc ("NSF") that its unsolicited offer for Provident (the "Offer") has lapsed. The Provident Board believes this outcome to be in the best interests of Provident Shareholders and greatly regrets the unnecessary distraction, cost and impact of the uncertainty on Provident's customers and staff caused by NSF pursuing its extended hostile Offer.

The Provident Board wishes to thank all of its staff for their continuing diligence and hard work in the face of several months of uncertainty. The Provident Board notes the views of all of its shareholders as expressed during the Offer and looks forward to further engaging with them in the near future.
Provident's standalone strategy is clear. As announced in the Trading Statement and Vision for the Future on 3rd May 2019, Provident intends to continue on its path of delivering the strategic initiatives already underway at Provident to generate attractive and sustainable returns for shareholders. Our focus is on providing customers with credit products appropriate for their circumstances, delivering good customer outcomes and generating sustainable shareholder returns. This will be achieved by:


· Delivering a broader product range;

· Enhancing our distribution capabilities;

· Establishing a single view of our customer; and

· Growing responsibly and delivering sustainable shareholder returns.



Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the response document published on 23rd March 2019.

Directors should step down, allowing this mess to happen IMO.

has the share and bid price both been on 257 at the same time? Feed now wonky too? FCA should take a look at the people involved IMO. Against private investor interests. If it were personal loans they'd be on it in a flash.

goes long and takes up even more of the small free float, would be good from here.

£128,487.42

would be a nice touch, come on fellas put the £ where your mouth is!

Yes same here, why would they bother? Would you? That's what I think too.

...Significant progress has been made on the extended audit and the Board continues to expect to report, subject to audit completion, an underlying trading performance for the year ended 31 December 2018 in line with expectations.

Do Your Own Research

I'm happy to hold and see what the divi is. 2018 figures were inline with expectations according to Company update rns 30 April 2019 and they've been signing up new business in Mar and looks like Ocado too. DYOR

They haven't released their dividend figures as far as I can see, so you are taking a guess? Otherwise please provide the source of your calculations.

If No one sells they will be in trouble!! Just gotta hold on, if they short it down, they still gotta buy it back IMO.

It pays a dividend so I'm in no rush IMO.

Can anyone find the publication of the supplementary prospectus on the NSF website or Morning Star? I can't see it there, should be at midday...

I agree.

IMO there's no sign the share price has turned because the spread has been such that buys are being shown as sells constantly so the signals will be wonky IMO.

All I would advise to anyone is to study the buys and sells and get a few quotes for yourself (you do not have to accept, you can decline) to see what the numbers actually are being offered and not what is being "shown" by the system which is quite often very misleading IMO.

Don't believe all what you see/hear - DYOR.

at these levels each day after 4.30 24-May-1916:36:02 - 63.23k & several 23.63k buys, reckon that's why the price is low, for certain folk to get a good price, once they have their fill, we will be off.

Talking it down for a good entry for yourself means someone else is losing out, not a good trait IMO. If you want in (which is obviously why people are watching, just buy some!). IMO.

try making a respectable offer for Prov instead of that insulting disgrace.

the shorting muppet gone to lunch after a late start? IMO

Buys showing as sells again.

So has Coco the Clown left the building or was he the sacrificial lamb to try and please shareholders?

PFG shares are cheap to buy at the (IMO) for both new investors and current holders to average down.

Hope the board issues some real share boosting news n the morning, be fun to watch them all dive back in..
