What is your reasoning for thinking it will open low Hereshopin, especially as we haven't seen the critical interims yet so we don't have all the information that will affect the day one SP. Are you hoping to add? Everything points to a high opening so far ..

Also, with a good proportion of stock now tightly held, ( US fund, Boo and former directors etc) you are looking at 50% percent off the market, add in PI lths and its likely more like 70+% as a guess. Add in a short squeeze which is sure to happen and a fight for the free float you have the perfect recipe for a rapidly increasing share price.

It was but it was also 103p in June last year, so 2 months before suspension. So taking out any wider market dynamics and adding in all the growth projects during suspension its hard to argue that it won't go back there and beyond quick smart? of course the market (and trading) decides so it never that simple, and we need to see the tone of the interims - but on pure fundamentals it should really motor back up

The maths suggests it should be around the £1 figure, people have in their heads the current SP is somehow a barometor when it should be completely ignored. The reality is the SP was 80p (and much higher prior to that) before it was dragged down by fund selling and reasons that are now resolved so 19p is not real, the 'real' price is several times that and thats before all the expansion that has happened during suspension. All that value is to be added back and then some. On another note, I see Norges Bank are reducing at Boo and their SP is falling. I think that puts to bed any audacious takeover offer by them. Boo are on their way down, wheres Revb are on their way up. 'Within 2 weeks' is the latest next Friday so only a few days to go ..

Also in terms of the first 2 options, Minto and Allsworth aren't stupid, they would want a huge premium for an off market transaction. They know where this is going in the weeks and months ahead - not sure Boo would want to average up massively when they got their current pile so cheaply. Even if they were looking to accumulate Boo's growth strategy thus far has not been to to pay large premiums for growing businesses, it's been to grab assets of failing ones they can apply internal synergies to for value. This is a completely different beast.

Id be of the option thats its just a strategic investment and that taking on a cosmetics company is not their plan. It's too big for them and it would be much more suited to PE. Personally wouldn't be voting for any takeover (well price dependant of course! Id sell for upwards of a 500m valuation in the £2 area but thats too rich for Boo, thats their market cap as of today) Id rather see organic growth for a couple for years to get the mc to many many multiples first. This is also what bob is hinting at ..

You been using Chat GPT again to do your dirty work. You're not getting in cheap, so stop wasting your time and boring holders. Medichem being revalued and growth at revolution is rampant. History has past, the future is bright.

Zero I would say, Bob et al won't want any more bad press to damage the brand. They will just use this to get them to toe the line where they need major shareholder support.

Its not a small task either, and costs a fortune - would be a year in the planning

I wonder indeed .. individual strategies stating to play out as usual when they can smell potential opportunities .. the usual boring yet obvious stuff .... they will arrive every day the next couple of weeks and increase in numbers .... the beauty for current holders is we don't have to try and get in quickly ... id hope our reward for holding outweighs any newcomers with a much higher opening start price.

So to summarise - we generate enough revel profit for operational costs, we borrow for growth .. as you will have seen over the last year

SHALM89 - you do know that growth costs money. Growing into the US for example as we have seen recently. if you were to do this out via income alone it would take forever, hence borrowing. The way most companies grow at a faster pace .. revb debt is tiny v turnover, some growing companies debts are multiples or turnover, not a smallish percentage of. In the end our market cap will be measured by 2 things, current EBIT and potential. and on current EBIT its out by a factor of at least x5 alone .. than add in future goth potential

I think we have a good idea based on the last RNS, all that’s holding it up legally is the interims, so should be the day after them - which they said within 2 weeks. So should be back trading by mid June at the very latest.

The debt is very low in the context of a growing company, for 99% of companies thats how they grow quickly, with loses being normal for the first 3 or 4 years until they swing into profit. Also, bank debt is the holy grail, bank debt doesn't impact shareholders over time in terms of dilution. At the opposite to the other end of the scale where you have death spiral convertible loans/bonds that many small caps use more and more to survive and pay salaries that dilutes SHs into oblivion. Our biggest asset being actual income and a healthy turnover/margin that makes traditional debt possible. We may issues a few shares for bonuses etc over time, but thats fine as our profits increases as long as its kept at a relatively low level. Good times ahead ..

Feels to me like there are more and more people who likely traded this before suspension and are beginning to wish they had held.

Artrader you should be a poet! Lovely piece. I bet you were even laughing to yourself as you wrote that. :)

If there were any really uncertainly Bob would not have taken shares as his 'bonus', thats all you need to know ..

You do know the 'going concern' line is standard right, in many sets of accounts. Its basically a disclaimer ...

We are in a much better position that before the swift drop from 80s, so if anyone thinks there are are reasons why we shouldn't just restart around this level id like to hear them. Of course the market decides and it may not be instant as it has got 'used to' the current price and repricing +300% instantly is rare (but it happens) .. but the numbers should/will suggest thats where it should be in a perfect market and upwards from there.

Prawn sandwiches all round ..
