very pertinent question henry.currently 10.68%.i would expect at least a percentage point or so increase,but it could be more.we know matchett is coming down by about 2.6%and han**** by almost 2%..will be interstingto see if gore has participated(i suspect not) but we are going to have to wait for substantial shareholder register to be updated which won't be until end of dec/beginning of jan.

agreed mrH-m. i haven't read the admission document yet and will not do so until this evening(i have no intention of buying or selling at the moment),when i will read it in full and probably more than once. the extent by which the debt obligations have been reduced is extremely important.

yep.duly passed.

agreed highland.there is a lot of detail here, but that's a very significant one.

very good news!

helo LF.what has caused the slight concern over time lines(I'm personally not worried overmuch yet although i might be if we don't get news by end of week)is the statement in the accelerated book build rns of 25th august.it says every clearly that the deal is conditional on(inter alia)mvr shareholders approving the readmission of the entire new issued capital to aim by the 30th december and that if not the $12m deposit will be due to napster even if the deal does not complete. the point is that such approval can only be given by mvr's shareholders in a general meeting ,hence the relevance of the meeting notice requirements.neither party to the agreement can alter this unilaterally (I'm assuming there are no special provisions in the agreement giving either party any unilateral powers to that effect) but both parties could come to a different arrangement and in effect revise the whole thing and push it down the road a bit.but they would both have to agree.obviously this is pretty unlikely,hence the concern over the timescale.i shall only start to get worried if we get to next monday without a formal announcement,so I'm expecting and hoping for something this week.apologies if I'm telling you stuff you already know and of course its just my opinion and there may be other things going on which could put things in a different light.

the absolute minimum period of notice for an EGM for a UK publicly quoted trading company is 14 clear days. that means you have to exclude the day of the notice and the day of the meeting from the calculation, so in effect 15 days .it is not possible to shorten this period by any form of shareholder consent. so urban spaceman is quite right they had better get a move on. of course it would be open to the parties to the agreement to agree mutually to vary the terms, but i very much hope they will not be relying on that possibility.

afternoon heimdal. the old Bulls are very changeable are they not, but i certainly hope your views are correct.i do agree with the point about Zhavoronkov though. we can only speculate as to what if anything he will bring to the table,but it certainly appears that he is a business creator in a way which jamie simply is not.how much influence he will have on matters remains to be seen.

well Dbay up another 1.14% rather as expected. at what point do they make a move?

you are quite right.i was put off by the suggestion of having to register, but I've bypassed it now and read it. interesting that they are able to fund a tv campaign which features Kylie (albeit very briefly)

https://www.geekwire.com/2019/realnetworks-doubles-stake-napster-84-deal-valued-40m/ try this one.

just to put the potential complexities of the napster deal in some perspective, this is a report from when Realnetworks acquired the 2nd half of their 84% holding in jan2019https://www.geekwire.com/2019/realnetworks-doubles-stake-napster-84-deal-valued-40m/particularly interesting is the last section which explains that columbus will be entitled to additional payments depending on the disposal proceed s of the acquired holding on a disposal within 5 years.i read this at the time of the original deal announcement but don't think its been posted before.apologies if it has and i am repeating things.

roxi have quite a high profile TV advert campaign.surprising for a start up? i can't read the article as don't want to sign up, but thanks for posting.

afternoon private Ryan.just seen you post.thanks very much for that.further evidence to add to the Renx link to confirm US emphasis.i also note that shortly after the See appointment there was a license deal announced in $Usd ,so presumably a US based deal.a placing here is of course quite possible but hopefully if so it will be for a proper development purpose.nice to see you are still keeping an eye on this.i was invested in see for a while a couple of years ago as i found the company's aims and technology (so far as my non technical brain could follow) very interesting .thanks again for the link

so LF you will be celebrating with a Snowball on christmas day. i didn't know they still made them. havent drunk one for 50 years.lol

thank you and reciprocated.

good find Genericname and looking at the announcement of intention to appoint which preceded the actual appointment they were appointed specifically for their US capabilities.

DYM turbo thanks for that. yes i can see the 13 us locations and the canadian and uk ones.i based my initial comments on looking at the european arm actually referred to in the RNShttps://www.stifel.com/stifeleurope/institutional-european-offices.this gives only european ones but i am more than happy to accept that it has a strong US presence which you would hope for in any international broker.fingers crossed that it signifies an imminent positive development
