The delisting of CMS from the LSE occurred last week. The funds from the OSG Bidco acquisition were credited to my account last night. That is now the final conclusion of Communisis as a publicly quoted investment. Good luck to investors in the redeployment of their funds. I'm currently not in any hurry with mine and plan to sit on the cash until a clearer picture of the current market volatility emerges.

Playing catch-up & would like to congratulate JT and all the long-term investors here.
Delighted that patience paid off!

Kind regards,

Well now I know the likely reason why Communisis were not keen to come and present to hundreds of investors at our #MelloLondon event ( ) next month even though the share price was so low and they have exhibited and presented before.

It is always difficult keeping all investors happy but as a long term holder who bought alongside many others when JTCod was writing up his thoughts on the company in 2009 one cannot complain.

For those now looking for a new home for your money you will have a selection of 60 companies in the small to mid cap space to come and research at the event so why not come along....here is a list of the first 25 or so....

On the subject of dividends Mas. CMS is a nice example of the potency of dividends as a reward for patient investors. For those like you who bought CMS between 12/2009 and 3/2010 and achieved an average price of let's say Circa 15.5p CMS has returned 100% of your investment via dividends. Not bad for 8 years holding. At one point the shares dipped down to 12.5p so for some it may have been better still.

Dates don't appear to have been included in the results for the 1.77p final dividend. For those that are wondering, dates are on their website...

zho - no one always gets it right. However, this is what I like to do on occasions. That is to follow some large investor and one might think that RG has probably got it more right than wrong in his life. Other ideal requirements are that the company is paying a good dividend (CMS's was huge at one time) and that it is trying to develop itself into something different from what it has been in the past although obviously that will sometimes fail disastrously.

Same ole Blundell. The guy has form in poor acquisitions in the past (leading to impairments), as well as misleading investors on profits being in line (at results they were not).

This write off likely results in profits missing estimates. Blundell will do the dirty and try to cover it up though.

Market is gradually cottoning on with the selling pressure increasing.

I also agree too. However it is certainly a significant vote of confidence by Crux to make an initial investment of just over £7.5m as a completely new investor in CMS at this point in time.

Also interesting to note that on Nov 15, 2017, the investment aalyst covering Communisis was advising investors to purchase equity in the company with a 12 month price target of 74p in the next year.

Communisis investor ups stake -

A high-profile investor has quietly increased his stake in Communisis to more than 22%.

Richard Griffiths is a former sheep farmer and rugby player who found fame and fortune in the City after founding finance house Evolution Group PLC.

He went on to found Ora Capital Partners, and currently controls a number of funds.

Over the summer Griffiths upped his stake in Communisis, via seven separate investment vehicles, to 47,443,061 shares, or 22.66% of the group.

Communisis chief executive Andy Blundell told PrintWeek that the group’s board had a good relationship with Griffiths.

“Richard has been a shareholder for years and we know him very well. He controls his own funds and has recently topped up his holding,” Blundell said.

“He’s supportive of the business, knows us and our strategy well, and we’re glad to have him on board.”

A representative of Griffiths declined to comment, and said: “We don’t generally provide comment on our investment motivations.”

Other major Communisis shareholders at the group’s last financial year-end included Henderson Group (9.99% stake) and Majedie Asset Management (5.13%).

Shares in Communisis hit a 52-week high of 61p earlier this month. The £361.9m turnover group currently has a market capitalisation of £124m, higher than that of St Ives, at £100m.

Communisis confirmed that it had won the HSBC marcomms contract previously handled by St Ives alongside its interim results in August.
