Member Info for The.Italian

for some reason (to do with my browser i think) i can no longer access the proactive interviews, do i take it barder made no mention of uk/eu licensing? if so, this still seems to me to leave the imminence or otherwise of these very much on the table in terms of investors buying in or trading out strategies . it's hardly surprising that he has stated, in effect, no US agreement until after US approval, since, as dosanddonts implies, fum will be in a massively stronger negotiating position if they actually have approval. difficult to look at it in any other way to my mind. of course as bucolic suggests, failure to get approval would be pretty negative,but it's difficult to imagine the s/p not getting a significant boost if they can secure a reasonable deal with a reputable partner for the uk and eu. still plenty to play for in that respect,imo. (bucolic,personal note.please don't mention the drive.mrs italian has been talking about how it is time to start the power washing again, a prospect which i regard with, ,shall i say, .less than wholehearted enthusiasm. she has an astonishing degree of intuitiveness and could easily divine that it is being discussed here and see that as a sign of encouragement!)

thanks for the input Glennstar. the whole saga raises very serious questions imo. it is difficult to see how the statements of intention leading to the vote approving the NM inc move can now be regarded as having any validity.if,as appears to be the case,the algorand deal(whatever it is) was agreed before the end of march ,then how much effort can have been made to pursue the app development strategy,on which the vote was centred.whilst i'ts one thing to accept that that strategy might have failed in practice after some serious attempt to implement it, it seems to me an entirely different thing to be told, in effect only a few weeks after the vote,that sorry folks but we are not actually going to try and do that,instead we are going to sell the entire company to algorand for (i suspect) peanuts. now i don't want to prejudge the issue without more information but the fact that the new deal seems to have been implemented with unseemly haste ,coupled with the fact that it appears to have been agreed without any shareholder vote, most surely raises a number of questions.

afternoon bignose. agree it seems more than just copper specific,which is odd given the recent contract news.perhaps people are just glad to sell out at a profit after the recent good run.cant really blame them if thats the case in the current uncertain climate.anyway just speculating.very unfortunate timing though.

nice to see some media coveragehttps://www.insidermedia.com/news/south-west/umbro-to-utilise-versariens-technology doesn't add anything of course,but nice to see.

agreed Basscadet.the flux news was also reach,but these were always going to be incremental developments and hopefully part of a growing base of areas of active involvement.personally im very encouraged and noting that it's been 3/4 years in collaboration gives weight to the view that it's now regarded as something of substance by umbra.

certainly is. another brick in the wall.

afternoon albert.hope you are well.thanks for the feed back.my HL account hasn't changed in a while,just showing the Napster group ord with the new number after consolidation. at least you've got the US company shown now which is a start. if the algorand deal goes through(which i expect it will) i shall be very interested to see how they have been able to achieve it technically,assuming that is, that we ever get that information.nothing today from HL as yet.gl

morning all.dvp down 10%tody @2.43AUD.need 34% increase to get back to 3.25.perfectly possible of course,but current economic climate not encouraging.

dead cross just to let you know i didn't ignore your kind efforts re telegram group.i managed to download the app after 4 days(it wouldn't recognise my phone number as valid)but after several days tryingto use the link you sent without success i had to give up.anyway just letting it play out with HL now and trying not to fret too much about it.

harry not sure if this will add anything to what you already know,but my understanding is thatSRS acqiom have been engaged to facilitate the document collection and payment process in connection with the merger acquisition between Napster music and algorandholdco. they are,in effect.the agent for algorand handling the cash payments collection.my shares are with HL and srs have informed me that the offer details were sent to HL from the US by post on the 31st march.following my informing HL of this on the 23rd april they informed me on 25th april that they were contacting src to see what was going on.prior to this hl had said they had not heard anything from their corporate action dept or custody agent and so could only regard the matter as speculative and it was only after i procured and produced to them the email from src confirming the documents were apparently sent to them at end of march,that they were prepared to take up the issue.i assume you have had documents because your shares are registered to you personally and not held on a platform.srs have said that the shares are being paid for in cash,but that may just be because HL can't deal in agtos,and there was some suggestion on here that part of the consideration could be in algos.i do not know if that is correct or not. i have noidea what is being paid (probably visually nothing i expect),but perhaps the documents you have had may give details.obviously this is all very peculiar,given napsters statements about new app etc and possible us listing.what is odd is that the deal seems to have been done without reference to shareholders(or ar least HL,who would have a fair %. under delaware jurisdiction i believe the in principle the sale of the company would normally require shareholder approval,but there are apparently a number of exceptions to this basic rule and im assuming,in the absence of any information or documentation about what has happened,that this must have been agreed by the bod under one of the exceptions.just guessing here really.all seems completely unsatisfactory and must seriously call into question the actions and statements of the napster directors.hopefully Hl will be able to provide some detail but as it is already almost a fortnight since they said they were contacting SRS it is beginning to look very odd.apologies for detailing my position in some detail as it is not relevant to you,but i felt other posters in my position might have some illuminating comments.hope this may help a little.beggars belief that napster,which was acquired by melody for, that was it, $47m (i haven't checked the figure so don't quote me)can end up ostensibly(i emphasise ostensibly) almost worthless in just over a year.something needs explaining imo.

afternoon milktrayman. interesting thought. hadn't occurred to me, but perfectly possible. my own thoughts, i suppose,were along the lines of a different relationship structure,possibly with some form of special vehicle and a separate listing.completely amorphous thought and im not someone who thinks an additional us listing is automatically a guaranteed of success (there have been too many ill advised vanity projects in that regard im afraid), but as i say no really clear thoughts and happy to wait and see what transpires.

https://twitter.com/versarien?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor interesting to see the stand,but what really interested me was the promotional sign with the various products mentioned,in particular nanene. we've not heard much on this for a while (i think), so good to see it still figures in some way.not reading too much into it of course.

good point silverblade.lets see if we get any announcements.cheers.

thanks for that silver blade.that was the impression i had, so good to have it confirmed. blackrock is the most likely suspect but obviously we need the RNS to confirm.t he last 5 trades today (including a couple of big ones) were all off book, which i expect all the large ones will have been. so basically two party transactions,buy and sell. question is is someone accumulating? have to say,whenever I've speculated on these type of things im always wrong,so happy just to wait and see what plays out.

interesting additional information silver blade thanks.im pretty sure there was a £2m trade (sale?) yesterday just before 4pm i think.i can't go back that far now,so can't check and happy to be corrected if mistaken.

https://rightcastltd.com/ sigma roc have acquired rightcast ltd,which specialises in concrete stairs.it became the relevant legal entity with 75% plus control in last couple of days. in practice i expect it is fully owned, as the pre-existing directors have all been replaced. small beer of course,as not RNSd, but pleased to see some evidence of the grow by acquisition strategy continuing in this rather difficult period.some very large trades yesterday and today.expecting RNS re shareholdings shortly. courtesy of arregius on ADVFN

morning bignose.you have beaten me to it.exactly my thoughts.down 13% in 5 days.presumably largely due to falling copper price on expected slackening of demand from china.very unfortunate timing.hoping for an upturn,as i imagine these things are cyclical,but it would have been good to get the cash in the bank now.

pleased to see they are bringing out the interims earlier than was indicated in the feb RNS,which stated june.
