With meeting on 23/2. Am I right in saying counter bid can come any day till 22/2?

Anobody, I note that you use Barclays. Unlike other brokers there was no communication from them and nothing online. I had to call and que up to ask them to vote. Did you find the same?

"Thanks FTJNY. All sorted and NO vote recorded" Me too all np votes sorted

Hope you are right novicehunter.

"I’m expecting the counter offer this week should be in the region of 42p " and who are you are expecting the bid to come from Novicehunter?

"Got my papers from Lloyds this am so I am able to register my vote." Lucky. you I am still hoping for something will come through from Barclays Smart investor. Nothing on their dealing site . Easy peasy on HL site. It was all there and easy to find

"Vote no and roll mgmt and the board." Does anyone where to find voting on Barclays Smart investor. I have spent ages looking for it without success

"Someone needs to contact Trump and tip him off about Solgold and the chinks" HEAR HEAR COUDNT AGREE. anyone WITH A LINE TO Whitehouse

"I have been given two option to buy the allocated number of shares " I am with Barclays and my initial reading was that i can use both options

"W. I did not realise that they had bought mine!! Cheers Ned"

"Well, any majors/mids know this is going to Chinese cheap if they don't act. (And I accept many may decide not to act and they aren't interested)." Does not seem to be the case with BHP as they have supported the offer. So here you have a major of long standing who does not agree with that view

"Have you checked your message area on your accounts?" no but will

;check . thanks

I hold shares in isas with Barclays and HL. How do I ensure that they will let me vote at the AGM? - So far nothing from them

" They rejected 26p, so why couldn't they also reject 28p?" Box ticking so that they can prove that they considered and rejected an offer and got a better deal

"Now, does that mean they need to let the board know on the 26th and we as shareholders will know on the 29th via an RNS or do they need to inform the market before the 26th, therefore in XMAS eve trading before noon?" On the assumption that it is a regulatory deadline , 26th. is the deadline for public announcement. knowing Solgold extension may be granted and the cane kicked further down the road

"unlikely as likes of Glencore can simply engage with Chinese AFTER they have acquired SOLG. They are not concert parties or have interest in our stock so are able to collabourate before or after the bid that suits their interests." - I agree Fortissimo with your4 comments on Glencore . BUT if BHP and any other interested party could offer glencore a deal which may be acceptable and they would take it as a bird in hand worth two in the bush. Afterall there can be no guarantee of deal being offered by the Chinese post winning

Does the RNS mean taut none of the other majors want to bid? V poor show after years of waiting a loss of £400 for me.

"Agree on the point being made - a strong base to protect against low ball offers." agreed but the downside is we cant get out at a price below what they want. And who knows they may not want to sale at all in which case we are stuck forever.

97 for me please
