Griffiths now below 3% likely diluted by the placing.
50p wasn't it the price?

[waterloo01] 18/10/2016 11:27

At what price?

Indeed, they did.
The initial placing document shows that 3 directors took up 20k each and Inglis took up 50k.

[big7ime] 13/10/2016 15:05

It was there

[horneblower] 13/10/2016 14:36

What makes you think they took up any in placing?
There was no announcement.

[big7ime] 13/10/2016 14:28

But placing

Exactly, but they must have confidence to be reinvesting.

[a.fewbob] 13/10/2016 10:36

Think logically, if you worked for ilika and therefore depended on the company to survive for your income why would you then also gamble your savings by buying stock? That would be putting all your eggs in one basket!

[big7ime] 13/10/2016 10:27

They are buying too

[big7ime] 12/10/2016 11:10

Well Inglis who was only appointed last yr from ARm will have 115k shrs, Boyer 394k, Purdy will have 609k, EVEN the boffin professors will be buying 20k each so they must have confidence IMo of their tech.

[a.fewbob] 11/10/2016 19:35

Anyone know how big in terms of cm2 the batteries can made to?

[horneblower] 11/10/2016 19:14

Sadly, they haven't announced a stacked prototype yet.

[a.fewbob] 11/10/2016 19:12

Why don't they show a stacked prototype powering a mobile phone? preferably a sumsung galaxy note 7.

That would get them some media attention!!!!!!!

[horneblower] 11/10/2016 19:08

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that there was a particular problem per se but that in-chip stacking is something that they have to achieve and, as far as their announcements are concerned they have not yet achieved.

Also, they are way behind their own roadmap from 18 months ago.

I am loaded up with Ilika shares and have been a strong advocate of theirs from almost two years back. I don't want to sound carping about their achievements and I am pleased they managed to get the recent fund-raising away.

However, I do get frustrated by the slow pace of advance. This is a mega industry they are in and making the ground-breaking technical breakthrough two years ago, by identifying a suitable solid electrolyte for the Ni-ion cell, is not enough. They have really got to speed things up. In-chip double stacking has got to be achieved soon or their whole advantage will be gone.

[big7ime] 11/10/2016 18:22

Hb they haven't said there's any problem, the material works, is stackable but these are early stages before commercialisation can commence.

[alphapig] 11/10/2016 16:34

Don't stack 'em too high, gotta fit in yer pocket!

[horneblower] 11/10/2016 16:18

They will be...once Ilika solves the stacking problem.

[beeezzz] 11/10/2016 16:16

Samsung's problems with exploding phones catching fire, would solid state batteries be the answer? Or are they not powerful enough.

[big7ime] 11/10/2016 13:06

And I will copy your post if it is worthy of useful info to share for other investors

as you continue to delete your own posts. What's that about?

Not recalling a project codename doesn't mean I shouldn't be invested, so Enlighten me
You know nothing and appear to buy and sell this with poor timing but here's your chance to prove me wrong...
