The Companies Act18 Sep 2018 11:20
Food for though, but not necessarily the case...
The Companies Act states that a company must update its shareholders with any actions it takes that are considered price sensitive....
AP has stated that there is a 30 day term, so everyone is aware now that somewhere within that 30 days we would have received it.
As far as APs legal obligations go, he has technically updated the market already(receiving it would be considered an already known event).
Who's to say he hasn't already received it, telling everyone "within 30", rather than on receipt?
If he wanted to show shareholders that there is actually far more than just BP that's being pushed forward, why not hold the 'in reciept' news until the other actions have been finalised....Just a thought, as its happened elsewhere.
