At the time of the latest placing which a company controlled by Rick Rule participated in, the shares in issue stood at 2,058,421,913.
2,058,421,913 x 3% = 61,752,658 POW shares before a TR1 is required.
According to the wording on the RNS, Rick Rule would buy between £500,000 and £1,000,000 worth of 0.85p placing shares. No more specifics as far as I can see have been given regarding how many shares Rick Rule actually took.
At 0.85p per share, £500,000 worth is only 58,823,529 shares and therefore Rick Rule could take up to around £525,000 worth of POW shares in the placing without having to file a TR1 and breaching the 3% holding of 61,752,658 shares.
The wording in the RNS is quite vague. I am not too sure if Rick Rule can buy say £500,000 now and £500,000 at a later date for example as no specific details are given on the "Subscription Agreement" that seem to have been signed between POW & Rick Rule. With no TR1 filed, we can only assume at this stage that he holds less than 61,752,658 shares (£525,000 of stock).
Of course, another likely reason for not seeing the TR1 is simply because it hasn't been filed yet and he may well have taken the full £1mil worth of stock which would put him as the largest shareholder above Paul Johnson (who now holds 82,250,000 shares / circa 4%) with a holding of 117,647,059 shares or circa 5.71% of the company.
