1. What would be preventing them from dual listing and then pulling out of London?

2. Would II's have to sell up the shares they are holding same as retail?

3. Why would they want to offer any more than the current market SP?

Doesn't apply here......I can't afford to buy every trading day of the week.

And averaging down is really throwing good money after bad.

I really hope he has got that call very, very wrong. 90 pence by Jan 2025 is a disaster in my opinion.

I won't be at all surprised if we start seeing buy out offers now. MGM perhaps

SMS said in an interview when asked about losing Mondelez. They hadn't lost the business entirely. And that they (Mondelez) had a new Marketing head who made changes and that happens in business.

I guess it could be a combination of people bring in old mates, return favours, new broom. Not necessarily they were unhappy.

Yes......disappointing.. Hope it recovers this afternoon when US open.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, appreciated.

Would someone be able to explain the mechanics of the £2m UT. I have read on other BB's that the UT code should be ignored as they were offers and acceptance that could not be matched and therefore null and void.

What I don't understand is firstly why show it at all if nothing occurred, why.does it fall into the sell or buy category as red or blue.

In this example (the £2m) does it mean that £2m worth of shares were trying to be offloaded.but were unsuccessful on this trading session but in theory could happen at the next . So in short is an II or number of PI's getting out.

Maybe sofas will be the new crypto.

I would be encouraged if Christopher Martin bought back the shares that he sold for personal reasons. To me it would demonstrate he still has conviction in the organisation. Not buying back in at such a cheap price is a little worrying IMO

A great move up but wondering why, and why so much in one hit all of a sudden

Thanks for sharing this link. It's great to see this industry recognition and market exposure.

Exactly...looks like I am going to get a better return in my Nationwide Building Society Fixed Term ISA.

I logged on to the afternoon presentation on Thursday for the USA investors. At the end, SMS stated that they had 50 log on to the call and asked for questions. Their was not one single question, even after giving extra time for Q,&A's

Have the Ii's lost interest, were any Ii's on the call. Is SMS now 'last seasons fashion'

I really hope not.

Yep...as soon as the US opens

Agree that the sales teams have to take some responsibility in the poor forecasting. They should be feeding into the CFO the number of average pitches/sales leads they have or expect each month and set expectations on the sales wins ratio of these in revenue terms.

Everyone is in the same boat. It's just the way the market is right now even in traditional advertising/marketing. ITV are feeling it and look at some of the adverts on TV some of them were made years ago, dusted down and aired again. I'm some of the women in the Marc Jacob's Daisy advert have grandchildren now.

Let's hope so as it will probably drop on the day even if the results meet the already set expectations.

The market was expecting as a minimum at least an ETA of return to dividends. Not for Tim to be on a political soap box that adds absolutely no value whatsoever.
