Isn't it astonishing that Andrew Bell still remains at Red Rock?8 Feb 2024 15:03
Firstly i know some will moan "are you kidding me. You are bringing up an RNS from almost 18 years ago?"
Yes i am. 😕
I was looking at the interims from 31 March 2006 and the then and now Chairman Andrew Bell was giving shareholders a rundown of what happened in the first few months of trading on AIM for Red Rock.
"The half year to December saw the listing of the company's shares on the AIM market on 29th July 2005.
27,300,000 shares were placed at 2p per share to raise a net £476,000. With 141,860,000 shares in issue.
The stock price closed its first day of trading at 2.5 pence, valuing the company at £3.54m.
Between listing and the year end, the shares traded within the range 2.25p and 2.88p."

....
So now 8th Feb 2024, todays share price is 0.09p or around 1/11th of a penny. However at the end of 2015 RRR did a 25-1 share consolidation, so if we reverse that 25-1 share consolidation then this share price today would be around 1/275th of a penny. So with no share consolidation the share price today would be around 687 times smaller than the 2.5p it closed on its first day of trading.
...
If we also reverse the 2015 share consolidation then todays almost 3.34 billion shares in issue would become around 83.5 billion shares in issue.
So after its first day of trading Red Rock had 141,86 million shares in issue. With no share consolidation there would now be around 83.5 billion shares in issue. So that would mean around 600 times more share would be in issue than its first day of trading.
......
The absolute beauty of Red Rock that in a way makes it pure and incredibly easy for would be investors to determine whether Red Rock is a good company or not, is that Andrew Bell has been the Red Rock chairman and been in charge of running the company for all its 19 years listed on AIM.
So i come back to my subject question isn't it astonishing that even though this chairman as absolutely decimated this share price with his company decisions that 19 years on he still somehow remains in charge at Red Rock?"
