So share buy back and dividends. As previously stated by the CEO and BOD.. "Post a demerger, the Group would consist of THG Beauty and THG Nutrition, two globally leading consumer businesses, which are HIGHLY PROFITABLE, cash generative and capable of paying dividends."

THG were prohibited from doing this previously because when Ingenuity was part of THG group plc you cannot paid dividends with accumulated losses on the balance sheet, so you need a court order to do so! JAO Adyor 😆

Sam69, don't worry it is all above board and ethical, there is definitely No conflict interest in MM being the majority shareholder and CEO of both companies, I'm sure that the Ingenuity Contract was run past the THG Leadership and Governance committee that includes the absentee Chairman..wait a minute who is also in on the Leadership and Governance Committee? JAO Adyor!

It wouldn't be the first time a Labour Government has had to go to the IMF for a bailout!!!! The UK is paying 50% more interest on its £3,000,000,000,000 (Trillion) Government Debt than Greece and Germany, costing UK hard working Tax Payers £150,000,000,000 (Billion) a year in Interest..

It probably is, the only way to know is an independent audit but if MM is the CEO of both companies can't see that happening? 🤔 JAO Adyor! What's happened to the ethics committee 🤔 oh we know who's in charge of that? 🤣

Donald, constantly throwing insults at me does not for your Looney Left argument! As we know, Labour does two things extremely well, TAX and SPEND, and if your new Prime Minister Burnham and his new Deputy Rayner along with their new Chancellor Net Zero Milliband think they can stick two fingers up to the Bond Market, then we may see your 50p prediction here along with 10% interest rates and inflation.😃 😊Save the UK from the Looney Left Party!!!! JAO Adyor

AI response to question what happens next in the THG VAT refund case?

HMRC is technically operating within its self-imposed timeline. During THG’s March 2025 financial disclosures, management confirmed that HMRC formally committed to delivering its "substantive update" on protein powder reclaims by the end of Spring 2026. Because the Upper Tribunal officially blocked HMRC from appealing the Global by Nature decision, HMRC has run out of legal avenues to deny the core protein powder argument. They are using the remaining weeks of Spring 2026 to finalize their industry guidance before they are forced to begin processing the payouts.

That's interesting 🤔 ADYOR!!!

The bond markets like Burnham less than Truss it seems???? Andy Burnham is doomed - sworn enemy just waiting to sweep him away | Personal Finance | Finance | Express.co.uk https://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/2207732/andy-burnham-doomed-sworn-enemy-waiting-to-sweep-him-away

The known shorts have a minimum of 10 averaging trading days to close their positions, it could be significantly more if others hiding just below the 0.5% threshold..could get very interesting if/when VAT ruling comes..! JAO Adyor

Yes but what about the Bats 😆 🤣

Apparently HMRC are just dotting the I's to ensure that no other similar products from other manufacturers etc with Carbohydrate levels above circa 3% creep into the ruling, but all of THG's Protein Powders within the claim fall well below this level in line with Sun Warrior products..and they certainly don't meet the criteria as High Energy recovery sports drinks, which is part of the 4A Zero VAT categorisation! JAO Adyor!!!!

Labour could always bring back the multi millionaire mansion owning Socialist Blairs....they make Mr Farage look like a pauper.....? It good to know that those Real Working Class Socialists on the front bench of the Labour Party don't have their snouts in the trough???? 🐖 🐷 😆 🤣 😂 JAO Adyor

Great article for My Protein....just hope MM can deliver on all of the broken promises..shorts will be toast.. 🍞 🥪!!!! 😊

Deluded Donald the left wing looney tune..living in Starmer lala land... 😆 🤣 😂

So you have a crystal ball 🤔..Now maybe read my previous post and see which two parties created the £3,000,000,000,000 mess the UK is in !!!!!!!!UK Bond yields at 30 year Highs..

Donald, that's what you get when you vote Your Looney Labour Left Tax and Spend Party in!!! 125 years of Labour and Conservative Governments have left the UK with an eye watering £3,000,000,000,000 (TRILLION) national debt, costing the UK taxpayers £150,000,000 (BILLION) in annual interest payments alone..This debt is also growing at approximately £150,000,000 (BILLION) per annum and can NEVER be repaid!!!!!!! The next generation have been saddled with Debt and potentially sky high Interest Rates. You cannot blame Reform for this unholy mess!!!!!! Reform 🗳 X to save the UK 🇬🇧!!!!! JAO Adyor!!

Apparently if Labour and the Tories keep on borrowing around £150 billion a year on top of the £3 trillion national debt, the UK will become completely bankrupt in the coming decades..not a great future for the youth of today...but of course Labour and the Tories have done a fantastic job...all this of course means interest rates will soar to above 10% and housing will become completely unaffordable affecting the house builders, the exact opposite of what Labour say they are trying to do with housing and unemployment!!!! JAO Adyor!!!

😆 🤣 😂 and you really believe that from a Labour Politician.... 😆 🤣 😂 They only know two things..Tax and Spend!!!!!!!! £3,000,000,000,000 (trillion) UK Govt Debt and rising by the day...!!! JAO Adyor

Apparently AI believes that HMRC are just dotting the I's to ensure that no other similar products with Carbohydrate levels above circa 3% creep into the ruling, but all of THG's Protein Powders within the claim fall well below this level in line with Sun Warrior products..and they certainly don't me the criteria as High Energy recovery sports drinks, which is part of the 4A Zero VAT categorisation!

We could do with retail investors doing a GameStop on the shorts.. confirmation of a VAT refund of £78 million would cause the mother of all short squeezes..The shorts will have a hotline to any decision in the next three or four weeks and try to close early if the refund and forward zero rating on My Protein products is confirmed..JAO Adyor!!!

There's one positive thing you can say about Corbyn. He looks like a Socialist, acts like a Socialist and he is a Socialist, whereas Starmer, Reeves, Milliband, Rayner, Burnham, Lammy and Milliband etc, say they are Socialists but are in fact Champagne 🍾 Socialists that didn't want to join the Conservative Party because they had no dress sense, especially (I have an £800,000 'holiday flat' in Hove, but I'm an MP for Ashton Under Lyne Manchester) Rayner 😉... 😆 🤣 😂! At least Nigel doesn't pretend to be a Socialist so it doesn't matter if he gets £millions from a Crypto Billionaire or owns a £1.5 million house, he is a Capitalist not a lying Champagne Socialist like the front bench of the looney left Labour Party? JAO Adyor!!!
