I didn't but I believe if someone may contact FCA and be successful in retrieving the lenders' names, would be remembered well since the disclosing practice might be replicated to any company with the shorts at the throat :-)

I tried to find out some time ago and unfortunately was unsuccessful.
Redceo, I do not want to raise discomfort - my text is 'guessing' (TBH). I am still trying to explain (perhaps predominately to myself) - why and how SP came down so low from the past heights.
Redceo, as an indirect proof :-) that IA was not a pure coincidence, is that came into being right after Burford's scandal with Muddy Waters :-) The result of that scandal is that London Stock Exchange quietly fixed the algorithm of the SP making - the shorts lacking now 'Spoofing and layering tools' of which we suffered greatly in the past. Had it not fixed there was no need to introduce IA

OliGarch, I am very (very) curious if 'my conspiracy' theory is correct. Fortunately enough it's very easily verified - if 30M changed hands in 2019 (my guess is 'only' in 2019).
OliGarch, there is a term 'guess' + term 'indirect' and, again, SP decline today - after 'appeal's dismissal' is an indirect proof/sign that IA might have been a convenient 'transport' to low SP OR a pure coincidence - I acknowledge that.
Again, as indirect proof of the agreement CWU-the shorts is that very ambiguous subject of the planned IA. That was hard to formulate what was the real apparent reason for the strike.
Redceo, my guess is that IA was a 'transport' to very low SP under which the exchange had to happen. In other words, IA was an agreement between CWU and the shorts when the shorts realised very low SP can not be reached by their 'traditional means'
No no no I am only average intelligence some say I am even slightly below. (Good morning Redceo, thank you for your kind words. )
SP decrease might be an indirect sign that there is some unfinished settlement between the parties (yes, sorry, 'my' theory again). I guess that 30 million shares under 'Chase nominees' are locked on 'escrow' account and SP will not be 'free of shorts' before after the parties' settlements are reached. (IMHO)
JB, I participate silently each day - I am a conservative, a Brexiter and a 'counter short' buyer of 21/11' :-) but my rusty English is not enough to keep up with the arguments and sense of humour on the BB
Many many thanks JB for the info!
This morning there were many relatively high volumes O-types trades which support SP, fortunately, enough. I guess due to the recent news the company is slowly growing in popularity investment-wise for the individual investors. Hopefully, the shorts will face more resistance comparing to the past. (IMHO)

More as we get it.
OliGarch, I wish. Unfortunately, the shorts let the steam off and renew swing down with showing up active members of the Union (none of us will relive the nuclear strike they say).
OliGarch, I suppose when he had promised SP @ x75 back on 23 May 2019 (to my recollection)
No. Very resilient despite the 'active' shorting but, nonetheless, we are at the very early stage of the 'shorts' goals'.
