Maybe because "existing shareholders" eventually come to realise that they can always get them at a discount afterwards?
The Open and PB offers are just a token guesture to PI's anyway, as the main event is selling the idea to new and existing II's.
And, IMO, with the added bonus of being told in advance so they can nullify the costs by forward selling in the pumped rise in the sp before the raise is announced.
As proven time and time again, pi's are just a means to and end that they have to pay lip service to once in a while.

Oi, I don't know what you mean. ;)
Y'know she has a sister ship called Lubie.
Just sayin' :)

I've been regularly checking both Vesselfinder and Marine traffic to see if they had moved it in to the drydock to fit the new mezzanine and crane. Every time I've looked It has been moored up at the the Newquay Yard where it's been since it's arrival. I did wonder how they were going to work on it there as there is no crane on that quay. AFAIA
Did I miss it? Did anyone actually see it move into the drydock and it's now back out and moored at the same spot?

Thanks for sharing, NST. And Eskers of course. :)
Although we are not mentioned in the SAB release, afaics, we are in the clinical trials link, as the collaborator.

Well, I guess shipwright would denote building a ship. If it said pontoonwright I might worry. :)

Isn't JW a fabricator? Do we need more of them?

To pick up on what CharlieS was saying regarding 'having a word', I saw this piece and thought it apt. Bearing in mind this is from just before Infa took on Appeldore and before they got the grant to build the Scillonian IV. But it shows a little of the process and that certain MP's where looking for ways to help both Appledore survive and get a new vessle for the IOS.
You may recall that Geoffrey Cox had a lot of involvement in the ealy part of getting the Infa/Appledore deal going.

And sure enough, Mr Teflon has explained it all, by tweet no less, and we can all carry on as if nothing untoward has ever happened. Bit like an appolgy for an incorrect main headline stuck in the wanted adds a few days later. It'll be interesting to see if this is also followed by a similar RNS in the morning.

And, regardless of the outcry of foulplay and the oh so obvious explanation, it does not matter about investor sentiment, It never does. Because if they lose a few disgruntled punters, ah well, there will always be plenty more for the next bit of fluff.
It had the desired effect of being splashed around the media before the placing. And that's it.
I'm sure they must have some sort of contract lawyer on the team that creates the RNS's. Because, having re-read the RNS multiple times it's obviously more cleverly crafted than just written.

TBH, H9, I personally wouldn't pass up the op to average down if the occasion should arise. The market won't care if anyone is taking the moral high ground. It will just carry on, churning away.
And all that matters, regardless of valuations, company profit against turnover or the ebitdooda are just two figures. The one you bought at, or your average, and the one you decide to sell out at.
Everything else is just froth. And time watching the froth.

For a sec there I thought you were referring to the mrs, as the dishwasher. Braver man than me, I thought.
Does she still have a contract out on me for that earworm song? :)

Realise that, OT. But thanks for making it clearerer. Think I lost that bit in the edit. :)

RNLI. "the framework agreement with Harland & Wolff Appledore Ltd shipyard for the six-monthly haul outs of Appledore’s all weather lifeboat"
Article. "Harland & Wolff have also agreed to maintain the village's lifeboat for free as part of the deal"
Without all the stuff they are now not doing, that's a cracking deal.

Could have been as simple as, we get a contract to build a pontoon for the RNLI and we'll do your local boat for free. And if you have any others in the area of any of our yards maybe we could get some repeat business in the future.
But no, had to big it up.

Got a screenshot of that tweet? Bet it's taken down when someone is back in the offfice.

Can we have a vote of no confindence at the GM? Call an EGM?
This stinks, even more than his usual tricks.

Was thinking exactly the same, Jabido. On all counts.
AP, maybe not so much, but did think it. :)

Found it.

This is not good.

Smacks of the Triumph debacle all over again if true.
Got a link?

More akin to the boy that cried wolf, whilst at the same time implanting a strong sense of FOMO, just in case that this time...
Just change the company logo to a carrot on a stick and be done with it. :)
Only messing, just.

" no one wants to move and then be laid off"
And that is exactly what has been conveyed to me from local guys, that work in the industry, that do the daily trip down to Devonport. And I would imagine the same for those that actually relocated closer.
They already have job security working for Babc**k, so it would have be worth their while and nailed on that it was long term. And not just saving on travelling expenses. I know there are no guarantees in life/work and I know some that went to the previous jobs fair at Appledore were miffed that no one got back to them, but hopefully things have changed since then.
On a plus note, yes I do have some, they did manage to get Tom Hart to relocate from Dubai. But that's as a manager, so that's a little bit different to general workers.
Knowing how JW likes to spin things, these new contracts could just be the RNLI ones. He wouldn't be lying, they are new and they are contacts. But it seems a lot of effort just for that.
I do hope it is something more substantial.

If they have " secured new contracts" why not RNS them?
Or is more a case of possibly maybe than definitely maybe.

And say, iconic, one more time. I dare you. :)

Will they be handing out flyers outside Devonport docks? Lookout Bab***k, JW's coming for your staff.
Guess he does have a wad to spend. Just hope he is in the know regarding work to keep everyone at Appledore busy.

Meanwhile, I think the sp is is trying to fill the gap left from last months ML issuance RNS.

FYI. The Polar Onyx has left the dock and is now moored up outside. Not sure if they have finished the repairs but it's no longer on one of H&W's moorings, AFAICT.
GL, Si.
Might have a nosey re SAE while i'm here. ;)
