I would have held on but sold about 40% of my holding outside an ISA. The 5p dividend will get taxed and the loss im taking on these will offset my profit elsewhere, good job my holding in the ISA is profitable. Feel like I'm a forced seller though would have waited for the new tax year to sell out.

Ah ok not had anything either..ajbell already done supper easy. HSBC living in the early 2000s I think

Anyone know how to vote with HSBC? There platform is super clunky, thanks in advance

yeah they are **** poor, no historical tracking to view things on the fly etc. the letter implies i'll get shares when we know we won't etc.

Oxford I meant someone else already posted it, I've not really been active here so not sure what's been posted etc.

Just had a letter from HSBC about the split and they also mention that they've suspended trading in thg shares until the demerger is complete. Not sure if that's common knowledge but just sharing.

I'm for the demerger but I also think pis have been shafted. The capital raise diluted us by 15% and now we have the option of letting ingenuity go for free or taking a 13% hit off our holding. Seems like a total farce to me.

Spending that 39m raise well then. Probably costing them around £1 a letter at least. Cost of stamp/ letter / envelope and packing. What a waste of time and energy.

I don't think the placing will be added yet or we would see an rns fire mk too. I think another 2 weeks for them to be finalised

It is expected that Admission will occur, and that dealings will become effective on or around 8:00 a.m. on 26 "November 2024. The New Ordinary Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends or other distributions made, paid or declared in respect of such shares."

Nothing really, they are protecting themselves with that buy. Doesn't change the fact they've over seen massive sales decline and the actions they've taken have been ineffective. Are they the right people to fix this not sure but do I trust MA? No he's a shark, he'll rip this company apart and take what he wants from it. I agree with MK about frasers interests not aligning with boos.

Good way for someone to buy a big chunky of shares without having to find sellers and increase the share price doing so. I wonder if ma will buy on the retail placing 🤣 or maybe he can't.

Sp Will be down tomorrow, can't see it going up. Also placing is lasting 2 days 8am tomorrow to 5pm the next day. So wonder how much slack there is, thg did their raise with like 3 hours to buy in after the rns dropped.

Between this and thg I'm going to lose what hair I had left 🤣

This is either we can't pay the bills without crippling cashflow or an attempt to dilute Ashley. I guess the telling thing will be whos going to buy in the placement. Have they already sold some of this near £40m with their secret meeting the other day or is it literally last chance saloon. See what baubles they chat at the investor call tomorrow.

What happened to £7 close. I'll take nothing less

Surely 1-10 is early, 10-20 is mid and 20-30 is late. Not one for semantics but thg keeping to their promises is not something one should expect. These jokers probably publish the circular the night before the demerger takes effect.

Cong because of dilution. 15ish % new shares

I was expecting a bigger drop given the headlines. Surprised we held so well in the 160s. I'm not adding more here but not selling either, see how it plays out over the next couple of years.

What's div forecast? Currently it's at 3.6%, if I was buying for div I wouldn't be buying here. There's better options out there.

Out of the 4000 staff how many are UK based? I can't imagine. Huge number of that 4k will be, so actual impact will be a lot less than you imagine.

44p if I was to guess a low, hope we don't see it but it's that time of year where this normal dips and recovers in the new year. Add the negative news plus budget causing an expected inflation uptick I wouldn't be surprised to see it that low.
