Congrats all who've finally received some return from AMC. It's been a bunpy ride.

I was lucky enough to dip out at the top way back when, which topped my ISA up nicely all those years back.

Today, it's just good to get the divi, as I have to say I was never a fan of the BoD, but it was a tradeable share.

A salutary lesson about the AIM, about having a board aligned with shareholders, and about the sheer nonsense you sometimes see on these bulletin boards.

Robin will likely allocate all the shares to himself as an option at a price of something around 1p so that he can make himself a swift mil from the dividend.
imho

Understandable if regrettable.
So few of the old lth mob around. I barely check this once a week now. C'est la guerre.
I hope you keep a few to get some gravy when dinner is served.
All the best.

We won't be invading Russia, bb. We know better.
We don't want it.
We just want them to stop invading other people's countries.
They can sort themselves out. Putin had 10 days to win this war. And he didn't. He's toast.

Agree JM
Blow the bridge. Retake Kherson. Make Zhaporizhzhia to Melitopol a Soviet no-go area with the the new systems.
Strand Crimea.
Watch winter work.
However I think the Ukrainians will quite rightly want a swifter conclusion to the zombie-Soviet invasion so they may go for a winter offensive.

Russia is not a strong country, though it does have a lot of cannon fodder. It's not a rich country, though it does have a lot of natural resources. It's not a country with much of a future, though the zombie-Soviet will assure you otherwise. VERY LOUDLY!
It's a country that is mortgaging its future to China and the CCP will call in the debt when it suits them.
It would make far more sense for Russia to ditch the revenant tzaristas and work more closely with the west.
IMHO

Interesting

Agree with Luc that Robin has no incentive to sell on terms different from those of the last ludicrous offer.
So, as shareholders, can we not look to award him an incentive package that aligns him more with us PIs.
It doesn't matter if we give him a slice of the pie as long as that incentivises him to get the price paid for the pie up.

I've got a few million in the pot.

From memory, I don't think Robin has much skin in the game so it would make sense to him financially to focus on his own return from any deal. That may well be the defining reason for the deal just rejected.
To align his interests more closely with us shareholders, might it make sense to look at awarding him an incentive package of share options to be realised on successful company sale.
I know it might seem like giving away part of the family silver, but if we get him better aligned with us PIs, we would increase the chances of a favourable outcome.

Stay strong Les.

Thank you all for attending yesterday.
Much appreciated.

That's just not true.
Blackford did not get voted for by a majority of his constituents.
He didn't even get voted for by a majority of the constituents that voted.
He got more votes than the person that came second - hence first past the post.
The Scottish Nationalists are our equivalent of Putin's Russian nationalists, in bed with SF/IRA terrorists who 'think their opinions are worth more than the lives of other peoples children' (as one persistent anti-Nat poster keeps succinctly putting it).
Most Scots detest the buffoon.

I'd chip in for that.

I'll do it. Don't even have to pay me. I'll do it for the expenses.

Blackford embarrasses Scotland every time he stands up to speak.

But I love seeing Boris's put-downs.

Off Topic
Shareholder power wins the day at the Amur GM.
Chief Exec told to do one and get a better deal for shareholders rather than just the Board.
A roll of the dice for many but a resounding no from the shareholders
Different circumstance from here as our Board are so heavily invested.

Well, we've rolled the dice, let's see how they land.
Well worked everyone. Good coordination and communication on the board and Telegram and other channels.

I instinctively feel that if legal action is to be pursued then the Nomad should be included.
RY obviously thinks everyone will lose interest but I'm happy playing the long game if he forces this through.
There's always an ambulance-chaser that can be interested in this kind of action, chasing Robin, chasing the board, chasing the Nomad, even chasing Robin's estate miles down the line.
It's a hobby.
