I don't know about that strategy. I think they will see how successful the main listing of STB will be,and monitor the performance. Why sell a business which is about to expand rapidly. No I believe to sell their existing substantial stake would be premature and quite frankly silly ,after their recent placing.They are prevented from selling any more shares in STB for 180 days.
The switch,after watching the share price of STB rising over the past weeks,would appear to be attractive to the market and as such should bolster ARBB's investment substantially.

Presumably ARBB will look to sell their remaining stake later this year as Sir Henry has dropped down to non-exec. Really has been an excellent investment.

Many thanks for your prompt response.
Of course I knew that,and was not specific enough with my comment on full listing.

STB is already listed ! - its just moving from Aim to Full List

[retsius] 29/9/2016 13:05

This must surely benefit from the flotation of STB on Oct. 12/10/16.

British Bulls ARBB... Buy

[luckymouse] 16/9/2016 15:44

looks like its stuck in the chops

[future financier] 25/8/2016 12:13

Shouldn't make the slightest difference to ARBB

[retsius] 25/8/2016 11:44

Does STB going X div have any effect on ARBB's share price?
R.

[retsius] 12/8/2016 15:42

It could only happen to ARBB ..Recommened as a 'buy' in today's IC and the share price drops 40p.
Might recoil on the close,having seen that before.

For what it's worth:

[retsius] 27/7/2016 18:56

Made an error earlier.AARB did not receive the special div. on 6m shares it sold as they went X div after the deal.
They would however qualify for the special divvy fromSTB on their remaining holding(2.8m shares)
R.(correct me if I am wrong)

Of course,of course,my point exactly!

[caradog] 26/7/2016 09:45

More importantly maybe, a 25p special dividend to ARBB shareholders tomorrow.

[retsius] 19/7/2016 10:35

Caradog....LOL I wish!

I am glad I flushed out at least one other shareholder!

Seriously good results ,apparently shunned by the market.
We will have to hear from ST to give a professional verdict, but I doubt that will push the share price up much.
I suppose the old market adage `accumulate` should be applied here.

Retsius, your ability to influence the market is phenomenal. 30 seconds after you pronounce, the share price shoots up. Are you George Soros? :@)

[retsius] 19/7/2016 08:58

Stunning results. share price unchanged??
R.

Sir Henry has played a blinder here.
Now £48 m more than if they had sold the stake in STB today.
That is what I call good business!
R.

[retsius] 05/7/2016 15:12

That is now£48 million more than they would have realised if they had sold their stake in STB today.
Got the new building (new asset) for a good price?!
R..

Graph not looking good. Heading in the direction of £13. Tin hat time.

Fundamentals seem overlooked and we are in the wrong sector post Brexit.
ST sale looks timed to perfection:ST price £25 so sale netted £30 m more than current market value.And divvy from STshould be on its way(£5.6m)
Not sure about property purchase, but I may be wrong.
Balance sheet must be solidly robust,even after special divvy,pay out.
Trading XD.
