Barc had the option and then removed it. Will enable again at a GBX rate

It is all in the prospectus. if you have your shares in CREST or a share certificate you should have got one; if you don't really own the shares (i.e. they are in a nominee account) you will not have got one.

Are we being allowed to buy shares at reduced price or what? I dont u derstand what is happening?

I've just had a read of the prospectus. I thought it was useful. I wondered who was building the Hull plant.

"Engie Fabricom is delighted to announce that they have been appointed as the main Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor by Tricoya Ventures UK Limited, a subsidiary of chemical technology group Accsys Technologies, for the delivery of a new, innovative Tricoya® wood chip acetylation plant at Saltend, Hull.

ENGIE Fabricom is delivering the design and build of this pioneering new facility. This exciting project is the first of its kind in the world and will deliver a significant £58 million approximate overall investment into the Hull and Humber region, as the city celebrates its year in the spotlight, having being awarded the UK City of Culture for 2017.

Utilising all of the Company’s expertise and skill sets, a project team encompassing process, procurement, mechanical, electrical, control and instrumentation, piping and civil discipline engineers, based at ENGIE Fabricom’s Immingham facility, have already started initial works with site establishment now complete and the site being de-watered and levelled.

A Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) verification has already been completed with the detailed design and engineering stages currently underway. The project team are now on site at Saltend, creating up to 130 local jobs throughout the construction of the plant.

ENGIE Fabricom will primarily self-perform the project, encompassing all stages of the development from engineering and design, procurement of the plant’s main equipment, through to the construction, testing and commissioning. Local construction company Clugston has been appointed by ENGIE Fabricom to provide collaborative support and undertake the civil engineering aspect of the project. The ground was officially broken at the site in July 2017, with the ceremony attended by representitives from the Tricoya Consortium (which includes Accsys, BP and Medite), ENGIE Fabricom, Hull City Council, South West Holderness Ward and the local team of Tricoya Ventures UK Limited.

This extensive project is due to be completed in Spring 2019 and once operational, the plant will create approximately 30 full time jobs.

ENGIE Fabricom in the Netherlands is also currently progressing with the expansion of Accsys Technologies’ Accoya® plant in Arnhem.

Wichard Huigen, Chief Executive Officer of ENGIE Fabricom, said: “We are delighted to secure this major contract which allows ENGIE Fabricom to demonstrate our expertise and experience in both engineering and construction projects. This is a significant step forward for us and will in turn enable us to further develop our EPC capabilities.

“This development provides a substantial boost to the region and ENGIE Fabricom is thrilled to be part of this major investment. The project will have a positive effect in regards to job creation throughout the build, and as such we have already strengthened our resource pool of highly respected and talented engineers. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Tricoya team and to further establishing ourselves as the partner of choice within the EPC market.”

Looks like lots of PI interest and a couple of 50k buys gone through today. Small volume in the scheme of things. Med Term hold waiting for positive news from Hull in 9 monthsFully funded now

[hatfullofsky] 28/11/2019 14:14

Totally agree on game changer. Now we can capitalise on our advantage. Rare for share price to increase dramatically when a Fund Raise is announced very good that it's only a 10% discount and fully underwritten

[ryesloan] 28/11/2019 09:00

Not sure you can rise this amount with a rights offer. The open offer to existing shareholders seems acceptable but the real story here is a substantial, underwritten fund raise that will facilitate huge growth and margin expansion. Very happy with today's announcement and no surprise that the price has gone up on it as it's a real game changer for the company.

New CEO is accelerating progress in Hull and Arnhem. Delays in Hull meant extra costs and there are £7.5m of loans to repay this FY. Placing was always going to happen. Surprised by the muted reaction. Was hoping for a dip to 90p had a BO in at 92p but bit the bullet and took first position at 98p

[this_is_me] 28/11/2019 08:07

Now we know the real reason that the share price has gone down. A rights issue earlier in the year when the share price was over 110p, giving all shareholders fair treatment, would have been a much better ides.

[hatfullofsky] 28/11/2019 07:36

€46.3M placing at €1.05 / 89p

This should put a floor in the share price - Looking to buy in

New CEO has to maximise output

[this_is_me] 18/10/2019 06:15

That looks like a very good appointment.

[ryesloan] 01/10/2019 07:37

Yeah sadly I agree. Cost overruns classes as 'significant'. Compounded by Petronas being spooked a bit by that and not going to commit until end 2020 now.Progress on reactor 4 also seems slow when clearly the demand is there I would have hoped that was being progressed with urgency, esp. as you can see the impact on revenue with reactor 3 coming on line.Back to the waiting game then with AXS and my plan to get rich slow with them is delayed yet again ;-)

[columbarius] 30/9/2019 06:57

Nice spin but I envisage further delay of the Tricoya plant and associated funding requirement will weigh on the share price.

[this_is_me] 30/9/2019 06:43

That is a very encouraging statement for long term prospects. After the price rise they can still sell all they can produce. Profitability is increasing.

[damanko] 16/9/2019 13:50

Remarkable.

14 years since I started this thread, now just where have those years gone...

I exited quite early, at a tiny profit. I fear that many investors over the years who believed in the technology (which still appears sound...) may not have been as lucky.

Great technology, bad management. I thought that nearly 15 years ago, and feel the same now, though I wish all holders the best of fortune.

This company should be taking advantage of the rain forest issues in Brazil and the recent burning of a wooden structured building .

[ryesloan] 25/6/2019 21:27

I reckon the 4th reactor will be getting progressed regardless. The land repurchase was done with exactly this in mind.Not the fastest of companies in terms of addressing the clear demand for their product but I often refer to AXS as my get rich slow company and so far I see no reason to doubt that they won't continue to deliver substantial shareholder value over the long term.That said I'm actually a bit surprised that no one has bought them out yet as there is clearly money to be made with the product and the IP.

[red army] 25/6/2019 07:17

Far East will be the trigger - they could build one of these in half the time.

[this_is_me] 25/6/2019 06:49

Steady progress being made. The third reactor is turning losses into profit and the fourth reactor and the Hull plant will mean another step change in a few years. It is looking likely that the Hull plant will be making a contribution to the 2021 results. Plans for the fourth reactor may have to wait until the appointment of a new CEO before they are actioned.

[jadeticl3] 25/3/2019 11:40

Projects completed on time are a rarity, especially if the company at the receiving end is not themselves experienced in project work.

[this_is_me] 25/3/2019 08:12

Another price rise, demand still exceeds supply, no change in long term prospects.
