Surely if they have shut down some of our operations it is going to have a material impact on our trading ability and should have been announced via an RNS.
We really are not been treated very well or shown much respect as shareholders…very sad.

I do agree with all the comments about it being a poorly worded RNS and they have screwed up what should have been a very good PR opportunity.
I guess for Versarien shareholders, we know that graphene would have been used and anyone else reading the RNS might struggle to understand what we actually brought to the mix if you excuse the pun.

Maybe they will reword it to make it a bit clearer to the masses.

I think the last paragraph makes it clear that Versarien’s graphene is being used, after all that is their technology.

‘ Neill Ricketts, Chief Executive Officer of Versarien, said: "We are delighted to have partnered with Costain to produce this innovative structure that we believe provides significant benefits over those produced using traditional manufacturing techniques. In utilising Versarien's materials engineering expertise and understanding of the latest techniques, we have highlighted how new technologies can be employed to provide a solution to improve product performance, lower cost and reduce the carbon footprint.’

Is that 100k £’s or shares?

It sounds like Lemos has access at the very top of of government which has to be good….

IQE’s Lemos has tried deploying both carrot and stick to move the UK government. In 2022 he proposed an ambitious plan to create a compound semiconductor foundry in Newport, South Wales.

“We would love to stay in the UK and have committed to grow in the UK. That’s why we are working with the government on the strategy,” the Times quoted Lemos saying. “But we also have to do what shareholders want and go where the money is.”

Lemos was pictured on LinkedIn last week visiting Number 10, Downing Street. He commented: “It was great to meet with the team at 10 Downing Street, this afternoon, to discuss the UK’s role in the shifting global semiconductor industry. With the UK’s competitive advantage in some areas of the global supply chain and the potential to be a true global leader, it was a really productive conversation and we look forward to further engagement with No. 10 and other relevant departments soon.”

Now you would have thought if a company increases their holdings by 5%, that would have had a pretty positive effect to the share price….unless they are being shorted. It’s all very confusing and sadly disappointing.

I didn’t short it did you….lol
I despise shorting and despise insider trading….it’s amazing how people can read different things into a posting.

If news does break right now, those purchases should be investigated….fat chance!

Interesting article, but there is no information about whether MW have secured any testing contracts with China. Is this just a smoke and mirrors article?

And not even a comment from us poor shareholders….I guess we really are poor now :o(

I’m sure TW will come out and tell us we have an excellent buying opportunity and Opti is the best thing since sliced bread :o(

Thanks for the link to the interview….I liked the female interviewer….she was like a dog with a bone several times asking her questions and re-asking when she felt NR had dodged the question.
She was well informed and spoke like a disgruntled investor (wonder if she is?) she was asking the stuff we bang on about all of the time.

That is a shocking admission of failure and totally unacceptable SOH seems to be asleep at the wheel…..he can certainly talk the talk, but an absolute disaster at walking the walk!
Meanwhile we all watch and suffer as we see our hard earned cash disappear down the plug hole with share price.

SOH….please get it sorted!

It appears our pain is set to continue, after the shenanigans of the last couple of weeks I had rather hoped we had found a bottom….apparently not :o(

What has happened to all of the cash generating parts of the business (like animal free testing for the beauty industry) that had given us so much hope before the covid testing solutions fiasco that seems to be partly responsible for our demise.

GB and the BOD have destroyed what was a cutting edge company uniquely positioned to make a lot of money and do good things for the beauty industry and animal-kind.

I am furious about the apparent lack of contrition and honesty in what really happened. If it ends up in the courts we might just get some answers and punishment to any guilty parties.

Hey DevonLad…no accusations, just a genuine question from someone who is desperate to read some good news and have some more reasons to be optimistic about my own situation.
I am hoping you have deeper knowledge of what might be in store in the future for IQE and I am super happy to see your commitment.

I was delighted to read your posting and really wanted it to be true…you have to admit it’s not very often you get someone saying they have purchased 500k shares, in fact I don’t think I have every seen someone saying they have bought that much in one go on any of the BB’s that I read.

Thanks for the offer of proof, there is no need, I will take you at your word as being an honest person.

GLA

Even if it is’ just’ shares it is still a phenomenal investment…how could you ever prove it to the skeptics?

It has taken me more than 20 years to build a sizeable holding in IQE and I haven’t bought or sold any IQE for the last 3 years as I forlornly watched the share price crash from the £1.50’s

If you are telling the truth I applaud your confidence and having the balls to put your money where your mouth is.
If you are a Walter Mitty and spinning a story…shame on you.

GL to all genuine IQE shareholders :o)

Devonlad, thats a pretty hefty investment and must make you one of the biggest private shareholders. I do hope you are being honest here and I do wish you the very best of luck with this massive investment.

On the face of it you would have hoped/expected a wee upwards bounce to the share price this morning…..hey-ho :o(

I was hoping for another increase in the share price today after that increased holdings RNS
Hey ho!

Yes he has been ramping this share even when it was 3 times higher than it is now…..a lot of people would be losing money if they bought in then…..like most of us long term holders are. :o(
