Wishing all shareholders a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 🥳 🥂

Happy Birthday Jim 🎂 🥳 🥂

Still need the SP to terrible, to break even! 🙄 GLA

Good evening Peak, just to clarify and bring balance to your post, SYME are not and have never worked with Banco, although they appear to have wasted a lot money talking to them! Let’s be very clear, currently there is no viable business here, just AZ enriching himself. 🙄 GLA

Just for clarity, Volvie will not be selling any of his 500M shares and will keep adding, as and when! 😊 GLA

(…believe it or not, I’m still under water on all three of my holdings! 🙄)

Day after Volvie’s Birthday 21st December 1971 🥳

We do appear to be doing awfully well this afternoon! 😉

MickJ76 - there is currently no viable business!

Both the INED’s at the AGM yesterday looked very uncomfortable.

The only winner here will be AZ, who is simply playing games to his owner personal advantage. 🙄

I may be wrong, not knowing the individual, but don’t believe Peak made it to the AGM!

As a long-term shareholder in SYME who is currently facing a substantial loss, I felt it was important to attend today’s AGM.

In my opinion, SYME is not a viable business in its present state.

Whether it can become viable in the future remains uncertain. 🙄 GLA

Volvie feeling very somber at the offices of Charles Russell Speechlys for the SYME AGM, it’s a bit like going to a funeral! 🙄

Volvie's question submitted for tomorrow’s AGM, let’s see if we get meaningful answers! 🙄 GLA

“Over the past five years, many long-term shareholders—including myself—have invested significant sums into SYME based on the information, projections and assurances previously communicated by management. However, many of those projections have not materialised. Could you please clarify whether the company’s business model and vision remain genuinely achievable, and address concerns among shareholders about whether SYME has been, or risks being perceived as, an unrealistic proposition rather than a viable and deliverable business?”

@MRRR - Volvie is in same boat, although I have invested tens of thousands of pounds! I flew back to the UK yesterday, to attend Thursdays AGM. This will be the first AGM I have been able to attend due to other commitments. Let’s see how it goes ! 🙄

£40,000 to £45,000 will buy you 1 Billion shares, there are currently approximately 130 Billion shares in issue.

Not sure of the current % holding CHP has in Albaco. 😊 GLA

BigDave13, thank you. 😊

I wondered whether or not CHP actually know what they’re holding! 😂 GLA

We need clarification from CHP. 😊 GLA

CHP does not currently disclose a direct shareholding in listed WeShop (WSHP) shares.

• It does hold 71,429 shares in CSIL, which in turn holds 8,333,333 WeShop shares as its only asset.

• Based on other public data about CSIL’s total share capital, that likely equates to something like ~57,000 WSHP shares worth of exposure, but that figure is an estimate, not an officially disclosed number.

Interestingly, three large buys in last half hour of trading today!

Volvie will be adding more first thing. 😊 GLA

I checked public filings for WeShop Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: WSHP) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR database. Here’s the summary:

• The company’s EDGAR landing page indicates no recent beneficial ownership filings (Schedules 13D/G) for WSHP. 

• In WSHP’s registration statement (from Feb 2023), holdings by major parties are disclosed (e.g., 13.2 m shares owned by Wensheng Liu, 14.5272 m shares via WSHP Capital LLC) but nothing that mentions Caledonian Holdings plc (CHP) or 71,000 shares. 

Conclusion: I found no publicly-filed document that verifies CHP currently owns ~71,000 shares in WSHP. If you like, I can try a deeper check of UK filings (for CHP) or cross-reference major holdings lists to see if there’s any indirect or un-reported stake.

Volvie asked a friend ChatGPT!

I couldn’t find any publicly disclosed record that Caledonian Holdings plc (AIM: CHP) currently owns 71,000+ shares in WeShop Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: WSHP).

Here’s a summary of what I found:

• Caledonian’s own announcement (dated 8 May 2025) shows that via its unlisted holding in Community Social Investments Limited (the company formerly known as WeShop Limited) it held 71,429 shares (representing < 1 % of the equity) in that entity. 

• On the other hand, for WeShop Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: WSHP) the major disclosed shareholder list does not show Caledonian/Holding CHP as a named significant shareholder at present. 

• Moreover, Caledonian’s own reports describe this stake as a legacy investment and note that the investment in WeShop was impaired during the year to 31 March 2025. 

Interpretation / caveats

• The 71,429-share figure appears to relate to the unlisted holding in the earlier-stage company (Community Social Investments Ltd) rather than a public stake in WSHP after its listing.

• It’s possible that Caledonian/Holding either did not convert that holding into publicly-traded WSHP shares, or if it did, they might have been sold, diluted or otherwise changed before disclosures require naming as a major shareholder.

• Public disclosures of major shareholdings often have thresholds (e.g., 5 % of a company’s issued shares) before names appear;
