I think we will be in the £12.50-13.50 range very soon. Deal finalised in June.

I hope the later but fear the former

Board need to ensure investors are looked after here - this has been a disastrous 12 months for all concerned BUT the core business is very attractive to take over. I suspect minimum offer at £12 but Board will deliver us £14-15 as fair value as others emerge.

Directors should get NO bonus until they buy this is ridiculous - even a £50k purchase (less than 1 month salary for Belshaw) would stop the rot!

Expecting this now tomorrow - must happen and they can turn this SP around purely by showing their own confidence in the shares.

The shares are up 50%+ this week because the CEO showed the market confidence by BUYING shares!

Our CEO, Mr Belshaw, now needs to do the same from his fat cat salary and large bonus payments.

It should be noted that the Chairman of both RPI and Gamma is the highly regarded Mr Martin Hellawell so I expect he will apply pressure on the Gamma Board to show their confidence to the market given the SP disaster we have seen in the last 12 months.

Watch this space... March onwards is the telling time. Between now and then the shorts and Buybacks will just jostle for price margins

The Board approving a share buy back is good but hardly a vote of confidence from themselves to support the market view that the shares are under valued.

It isn't their money. It is company profit and cash being used. Not to be applauded at all really.

We want to see the Board use THEIR money from THEIR pockets to buy decent levels of stock. Like we do.

This isn't a big ask when they are paid so much.

CEO should be buying £200k and others a minimum £50k-100k - this is less than the cushy bonus they get.

That is if they believe in the vision they are setting, it should be a nil risk investment.

If they don't then they won't invest still.

It is a simple move to support sentiment and help the shares recover

I've said already, if the Board so not buy then confidence remains very low. They are hugely overpaid IMO and they need to show something back here

Hoping the new CFO is a different league to Bill Castrate - he has been shockingly poor really

I have said this already - I will repeat it. If the Board do not buy stock when they can do then the situation is pathetic.

They are very highly paid middle managers at best and Mr Belshaw (CEO) alone draws over £1m per annum. The shares are at a 5 year low, if he/they cannot invest 1 months salary in a share purchase then they deserve to be stripped of any bonus / additional renumeration. Mr Castrate (CFO) received a £400k signing on fee (like a footballer) when he joined and gets over £600k/700k per annum out the job.

They are takers and do not invest in the journey properly like we do as shareholders. Share Options / LTIP does not count for anything.

Plc Board needs to wake up and do a proper job now - tough questions to be asked.

I will hold until they get bought out - 30%-50% gain from here. The leadership team has got it wrong, main market move a mistake, known UK market in decline for 5 years + and done nothing to grow in the UK. EU is ok and Germany good but is it too little too late?

UK market should have shifted to additional services and offerings - Look at Sage thats how to do it across multiple areas in a SaaS model

Poor leadership sadly.

Underwhelming update, underwhelming strategy and vision from the Board. This has the potential to be an exciting stock but now the business is run by accountants it will always be a dull journey from here sadly. It will get acquired later in 2026 and I think a £12-15 price would be fair. Lets see.

The Board are a bunch of distinctly average middle managers who have fallen lucky in a growth Plc - sadly they cannot now hide when the growth slows.

They should not be paid the salaries they are on. The wider Plc Board are also just a bunch of box tickers. Where is the vision? The leadership? The innovation?

If they put their money into shares and show the market that they believe in their own strategy then I may feel different. They have to show existing and new shareholders they believe. It will bread the confidence needed now into 2026 and may help recover the £400m off the market cap they have lost

I think we as consumers are sick of fast food and pizza specifically. Healthier eating trends are here and this coupled with fat jabs mean the core pizza crew who ate a lot are eating less. It will continue to decline.

Even Greggs said this recently about the fat jabs - their core customer is losing weight artificially and eating less. Its a problem that is going to get worse for these food brands

Good to see the recent SP rise in recent months. Shopped using ASOS over Christmas and I have to say buying and returning is a great experience.

As it should be

The Board absolutely need to buy shares here when they are able. I think they are in a closed period. They are paid huge sums of money and never buy shares. Only the CTO seems to have bought in the last 12 months.

They should not get any bonus when the share price has lost 40% of its value in 2025. It was £14.64 in early Jan 2025. They have wiped nearly £400m off the share price!

Bill Castrate is not a loss as CFO he has a lot to answer for and getting an AIM to FTSE listing on his CV at the detriment of share price performance for shareholders is just a vanity move. The cost of this move alone is ridiculous. What a mistake and failing this appears by the Board

Awaiting next weeks update with interest.

NOOOO not the 13th- bad news unlucky number! Wow doomed

How the Board here are holding on to their jobs I do not know! They need to provide an update asap. Worst leadership ever known recently.

Where are you?? Lets be having you??

The CEO is a great guy but going to be lucky to keep his job at this rate, the buck stops there sadly!

PE take over in the £12-13 range likely within 3-6 months

This one will bounce to £2+ very soon
