Every tech company that I've invested in after a LTIP has been awarded has seen significant short-term returns.
This wouldn't have been prompted unless the leadership team weren't confident in the company's outlook.
It isn't guarantee of long-term success but the likelihood of positive news being on the horizon is very high.
Naming who the AAA publisher is will be one of many developments we will see in the new year.
Girds, has usually you're attempting to explain something that you don't understand.
The 0.5p is the nominal value of the share.
The nominal value of a company's stock an arbitrary value assigned for balance sheet purposes when the company is issuing share capital.
The exercise price is 3.6p. The current market price at award of the LTIP.
"Each of these new EMI Options and Unapproved Options will be exercisable at a price of 3.6 pence per share (being the mid-market closing price on 21 December 2021)."
The exercise price is 3.6p, not 0.5p.
The LTIP was awarded after two bouts of significant and positive news. Causing the exercise price to be double what it would have been a couple of weeks ago. Nothing about this is underhanded.
The remuneration committee who set these awards will have been made up of independent non-executive directors. This will also very likely include a selection from the majority shareholders. No one with a bias will have be part of the award process.
The max award of these options will be based on very ambitious revenue and EDITDA targets. If these are achieved the SP will inevitably be significant levels above the current price.

It's just a coincidence..
The sell wall illustrates that someone(s) want the SP to remain low.
It could be you.. it could be someone else.. but whoever, it proves that it's the shorters like yourself who are connducting price manipulation.
Someone has placed a 2 million share limit order at 2.2..
This is a clear indication of a whale attempt to suppress the share price.
Once this wall is broken it's only another approx. 100k shares until the SP is 2.9.
I had that same issue yesterday buying BIDS with IG index.
Spent an hour refreshing just to buy 2000 shares.
The app randomly switched my buy order to a sell order (!) so I accidentally sold 2000 in instead.
Then spent another hour trying to buy 4000 haha
Thanks for putting it together guys, especially Mike.
That really was a great read - open and honest.
Syngeonsmithe,
You're attacking someone on the basis that they're perpetually positive about something that they have faith in.
There's no way in hell that you're invested here. So essentially you're just trawling investor forums, spewing negativity.
I appreciate that it's realistic to keep the debate rationale and well-reasoned but you're personally attacking people, from behind your computer screen.
You must be dreadfully unhappy, if this is the way you approach life.
Below is a list of how long Alex Ginn stayed in his positions, prior to moving to Adverty.
Bidstack - 1 Year 4 Months
Sublime Skins - 1 Year 8 Months
Immediate Media Co - 1 Year 3 Months
Factory Media - 7 Months
Again, not ‘good’ news but it’s clear that he isn’t loyal to any company.
Considering that, whilst at Bidstack, Alex Ginn got promoted to Senior Commercial Development Manager, held the position for 4 months and then moved onto Adverty; I'd say that he's focusing more on moving up the ladder, than a lack of faith in Bidstack.
I've done that several times in my career and it never was a reflection on the company I was leaving - the new company was just offering me a promotion/better pay.
That is a positive view point but it seems likely.
thechancers, your rebuttal doesnt make any sense.. he's suggesting that you and helx are two-of-a-kind because you both; are irrational, express identical sentiment, inflate inconsequential comments, rehash the the same point continuously and most importantly, you devote far too much time deramping a share that you aren't investing in.
Why on earth would anyone ever compare you to James Draper?
Is Helx's twitter handle really 'Malc'??
If that's the case then I've completely lost all respect for him. The guy regularly retweets Katie Hopkins and Nigel Farage, among other garbage.
It's actually reassuring to see that Bidstack's biggest deramper is genuinely just not very smart. Brilliant.
Hey Bob, remember when you posted this?
"These recent words by James draper I feel best demonstrate the kind of natural (and rare) leader he is.
"The talent we've put in place now in the UK, US and Latvia, leaves me rather excited for the future of the company"
humility and gratitude... I'd work for him in a split second gridz" - 20 Nov 2019 08:37
I plucked that out of literally hundreds of examples of you being Bidstack's biggest advocate.
You're incredibly fickle - do you really wonder why people here don't trust what you say?
Bob, you've become like the crazed guy on the street who shouts at everyone that the world is going to end..
You shouldn't be surprised when people give you a wide berth.
What price do you predict we'll be bought by Google then new2trade?
Most of us have invested in BIDS, seeing the massive potential but ultimately knowing that it 's a big risk.
It's evident that Bob invested more than he could afford to lose, traded unwisely and got burnt. I don't feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for all the less-hardened investors who could be deterred by his toxicity.
4 pence a share placing.. he's become a caricature of a deramper.
This is the Bob scenario;
Meet cool dude at bar
He buys everyone shots
He repeatedly tells you how good the bar is
He gets drunk
He tells you that the music now sucks and he hates the DJ
He pukes everywhere
He shouts at everyone that the bar is crap
He leaves the bar, by himself
People won't remember the fun guy, they'll remember the guy who left the bar ungracefully
The short-med term has been difficult but this should only be detrimental to people who don't hold firm.
Anyone with faith in this company, who is willing to be patient, will likely see a decent return in the long-run.
We expect to see profitability in 2021 - this is when the SP will be closer to it's potential. Any movements prior to that will be down to speculation.
YummyBacon, you really should take it easy. Take a load off.
If you can't deal with a share not performing as expected then investing really isn't for you. A company not performing as a CEO as suggested, doesn't make them a fraud - it just means that , like most of us, they aren't infallible.
Making inflamed comments that Mr Draper should be in jail makes you come across as a tad unhinged.
That's good to hear Wilson.
An even, balanced discussion is what this forum needs. Even if thechancers or helx had valid points, they're points are invalid by excessive dramatisation.
There's good and bad things to comment on with BIDS but firebranding won't do anyone any good.
