Thnks all it was a good ride. Funny, just a few days after Fyffes news, my holdings in FIH also bought out. No complaints for either

You are right battlebus2 and the dividend to be paid on 9th March. Goodbye Fyffes.

Good luck shareholders.

[battlebus2] 21/2/2017 00:22

If you held on Friday you'll get the dividend, shares cancelled today and payment March 2nd I believe.

Stopped trading couple days ago

[primachm00] 20/2/2017 23:55

when do shares stop trading and payments made to shareholders?

[greg the grinch] 13/12/2016 14:32

As this is a takeover does anyone know if this means our gains are exempt from CGT?

TIA

[battlebus2] 10/12/2016 23:55

I also hold TOT ;))

[greg the grinch] 10/12/2016 23:07

Thanks for the tips.

[coincall] 10/12/2016 16:49

greg the grinch,

If you are not already a shareholder, you could wait for TOT to drop back a little and buy into those.

PIL. DYOR. Jerry Zucker revocable trust major holder of FFY has been buying.

[greg the grinch] 10/12/2016 13:39

Hmm I wonder if we will have any counterbids? Quite sad to see these go but it is an acceptable price and I will have new funds to reinvest.

£2.10 would be better.

Any tips for reinvestments?

Don't mess with my melon man!!

Indeed we dont want any more slip ups ;)!!

[seanyboy] 09/12/2016 10:06

I would not be surprised to see a counter-offer - but in any case it should not not go south from here - like it did when the last bid fell flat!

[sphere25] 09/12/2016 09:59

Blooming hek! Stock has gone absolutely bananas! (Ha terrible)

Well done to holders here!

Christmas has come early

[fishbournetrader] 09/12/2016 08:13

The offer is 188.5p at current exchange rate so trading a little below this. Bid is 182p. Worth waiting.

[battlebus2] 09/12/2016 07:29

Yes excellent news indeed!!

[18bt] 09/12/2016 07:27

Now that looks like a much more sensible offer than Chiquita - €2.23! Roughly 50% premium - happy to sell at that level. 25% irrevocables means it is not impossible that a counter offer could be received

Appalling if the allegations are true. Akin to SportsDirect treatment of employees. People have to be respected and treated humanely....this is very much a sweatshop it would seem.

I feel morally and ethically conflicted and do not wish to own shares in this company. No more Ffyes fruits for me either...shame on you Ffyes.

[multibagger] 30/11/2016 07:38

No smoke without a fire.....shame on FFY if the allegations are true. Treatment of workers shameful and another Sports Direct it appears.

I sold out of FFY quite a while ago - when I became aware of their treatment of farm workers. FFY does not meet my ethical standards on decent corporate behaviour around treatment of vulnerable, fairly desperate and poor people and I do not want to profit from that.

Share holders please think about your continued investment and what message it conveys.

This labour dispute could badly hurt Fyffes.

[battlebus2] 29/11/2016 21:56

Fyffes in another labour dispute.
