If as some posters have intimated that Mercuria is an evil entity. Then why hasn't Mosad been all over this together with SIR something starmer and the cuddly con artist party .

From what I learnt over the years fwiw. Is that bods together with senior management is the key. Without talented and people with integrity then no investment will enhance its return in the long term. Banburyboy like yourself I have been wounded in the past,but still feel this is a good investment. It's the dilution that's wrong here. A nice high oil price could rectify this though.inmo

If the offer could be re-nogotiated in terms of the share dilution. Then this still could be a good deal for all Serica shareholders inmv. Hopefully something will alter before the vote which is mutually satisfactory for all concerned.

The tax concessions are a given as this will be applied to carbon captures. So this is a win situation inmho.
Also I still anticipate collecting on my bet NormaStits.

Very strange times we now live in NewKOTB. I blame it on covid and the blumming gvmt.
It is still nice to see the share price rising though.Here,s hoping it continues.

NewKOTB
I am sure you saw this , but did you notice the final few trades of the day yesterday. Very bizarre to say the least inmv.
I think you may be interested as you generally follow transactions.

NormaStits
How is our bet going.i am trusting you over the stats .

Having worked in the city in both the front and back office i can say 100 percent that there would be no shinagins over any corporate actions. Breaches and procedures are in place. its practically impossible. Unless of course you go through a unregulated company. Which is nye on impossible here now.
Having said that some people maybe using unregulated so called financial advisors which if they are they should check the fca register.

Maybe someone could answer this.
The presentation covered ESG ommisions and how we are continually lowering this in terms of flaring and other other measures., but what about carbon storing
The reason i mention this is that there seems to be ways tax could be written off in some way agaisnt this.
My understanding is that there is no specific tax legislation offering incentives for this,but existing decommisioning tax legislation could allow some kind of tax relief against this.
I may be clutching at straws , but surely this is some kind of benifit to Serica when acquiring Tailwinds tax losses.
Once again just my thoughts.

The point I was trying to make is that sometimes postings by a number of posters(myself included at times).can come across as bias towards Kistos. Don't get me wrong if they came back now with a decent offer I would be attracted to it .
My other points which I have raised is that it is not necessarily a bad thing with Merc having near thirty percent. I use ekf as an example.also pe companies have been paying massive premiums of late when taking companies private. The problem for me is not the percentage but the monetary value.i.e overpaying. So fwiw I have voted no in the hope that the deal will be renegotiated

Your shares will be held by a custodian or in Crest. Unless you have a share certificate. You will need to contact the broker you traded with. If that helps

Fwiw i havent totaly changed my stance and have voted no. As i feel they have given too many shares away for this transaction. I used Ekf as an example as to how someone/institution holding just below thirty percent is not necessarily a bad thing.My gripe is the monetary value of this and not the worry of them being a major shareholder. Also when Chris Mills/Harwood acquired their shares the company as you know was restructured resulting in the spin off of Renalytix (I didnt mention that holding as i think he holds around thirteen percent so no where near thirty percent )
Both shares did do quite well in the beginning, but as you know Renalytix hasnt faired so well.
Hopefully we will look back in six months time and be pleasently surprised.

It looks like we have been doing the same. Fwiw I think the key here is now oil prices and not gas. Hopefully Serica has seen something here in those terms

This bb INMO has now shown it's true colours.
There seems to be a fraction that group together to try and persuade others in their stance. It's a shame as it clouds their knowledgeable posts inmv.
I am afraid it seems to be the Kisto fan club. Don't get me wrong I would jump at the chance of being offered 4.20 now, but like it or not this is where we are. As for special dividends this would be lost in terms of share price erosion inmv.
I say it again nearly thirty percent owned by c mills/harwood in ekf for a number of years. So it can work to share holders advantage , but the motley crew on here cannot be objective inmho

I did see it. Obviously one day is no guide, but it does show how a natural hedge could occur.
What is going to be interesting in what happens to the share price before the vote in terms of any correlation with gas and oil prices.

Brent up over 3 per cent today. Gas futures down over five percent.So there is rationale with this deal if today is anything to go by

I am with the company on this re Mercurie and associates holding just below thirty percent. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Although not oil and gas some posters may be interested in viewing EKF diagnostics and doing a little research re the largest holder.Holders have benefited there through his/associates influence inmv
Fwiw My concern is not the size of the holding, but the amount of dilution in terms of monetary value. Other than that the deal makes sense. However i have voted no due to overpaying of assts inmv

Also in recent months premiums have surged for companies going private. Maybe this is the game plan going forward.

I am not sure as to why people are getting hung up over the possibility that mercuria could take us private. So what providing a premium is paid. If we end up mid three fifties before the eighteen months. Then they are welcome to my shares at a premium.
