Isdeer, that was a very good post, but the key point is wrong. David Bramhill DOES NOT LEAK. He certainly wouldn't leak to Chrisoil.
The problem is, as you rightly say, he has to go to the market to find brokers to participate. We all know some people get information about placings from brokers, then they use it to their advantage to sell their existing holding and/or make themselves 'look good' on their twitter pages. Of course that stinks, but David Bramhill is not involved in any of that crap.
As far as the timing of the placing is concerned, it should have been spot on. Monday's great RNS should have taken the sp nearer 0.3p, but the big seller pulled the rug from underneath it, and created a loss of confidence. The placing price would have been much higher otherwise. DB still has to progress the placing now that it is in the open, as failure to do so will suggest he couldn't get it away. That would look terrible.
