Yeah Avobull, there was 25 and 50K purchases yesterday. Haven't checked figs but at lease one must be theirs.

Interesting though to see the way the MMs are push the price today, despite that.

One suspects these savvy Swedes are not in the habit of chuking money into a death spiral....so they must have a different perspective.

RNS today notifies that AB Segulah now owns 5%


I suspect that AB Segulah is this investment group:

Segulah is a private equity firm based in Stockholm, Sweden. Segulah owns and develops mid-market companies. We invest in buyouts of profitable, stable businesses run by experienced management teams (hxxp://www.segulah.se/en/)

Of note, Segulah bought a company called Hermes Medical Solutions in 2016
This firm is a is "a leading innovator in medical imaging hardware/software products for health care facilities worldwide".

Seems there may by some synergies with AVO:

Hermes partners with the best institutions globally to continually deliver customized diagnostic software packages to meet your ever-changing medical imaging needs. Whether it be longitudinal tumor tracking in Oncology, database design to differentiate Alzheimer´s Disease & Fronto - Temporal Dementia, advances in cardiac PET imaging or bridging Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & PET, HERMES is leading the way.

Have a very good long term relationship with ones broker and have 3x cash position against short. Don't ask who cos I'm not telling

[pj 1] 15/3/2017 15:46

How do you do that?

[smithless] 15/3/2017 15:44

There are other ways if one puts up enough margin. Sell T20

[pj 1] 15/3/2017 15:41

There is currently no Borrow, you are too late smithless

Jaknife. Want to short it, but would like to see more liquidity in the stock. Looking at the trades today someone paid 44p for 20k. Didn't have to pay that much, which may mean someone is trying to hold the price up. I have been over the maths many times and unless Bracknor has had a complete u-turn in its business model and become an investor, the share price has to go pop

[smithless] 15/3/2017 15:28

I'm hoping liquidity opens up after the GM. Something has to give and very soon IMHO

[scantrader] 15/3/2017 14:57

Well I've still got a small one that I haven't been asked to close yet, but not allowed to increase either.

[smithless] 15/3/2017 14:30

Has anyone been shorting this recently?

[sweet karolina] 15/3/2017 13:10

I note there is no milestone that says working prototype only "Beam capable to treat superficial tumour" which occurs Q3 2018. Given that no machines could be delivered to other customers until some time after first patients treated in Harley St Q2 2020, I can't see anyone ordering one until 2019 at the earliest. No orders means no serious non diluting finance and total reliance on death spiral and other highly dilutive forms of funding in my view.

How Hardman can produce a note that completely glosses over this key issue and expect to have any credibility is beyond me.

[smithless] 14/3/2017 15:28

Avobull as JakNife has pointed resolution 1 has to go through, but I would take a long hard look a resolution 2

[avobull] 13/3/2017 00:02

I remain bullish on AVO and there were some positives in the recent presentation, particularly on the advantages of AVO technology over its competitors and the potential for a new deal with Circle in Birmingham

However, I still do not think that the Bracknor deal is in the best interest of shareholders. i understand why AVO feel it is as they believe it allows them to benefit from an increasing share price as positive news flow unfolds.

However, I intend to stay long, but vote against the resolution to issue shares to Bracknor. I will vote yes to the other two resolutions.

I would urge all shareholders to vote and, if like me, you hold shares in a nominee account, you can still vote using the following methods:

Some pressure can be brought by claiming that you will consider transferring shares to a broker that can assist in the execution of you basic right as a shareholder. Demand to know why it isn't automated and what the min holding is to be sure to have your vote registered. Create enough of a stink and they vote.

[luckymouse] 12/3/2017 20:54

I can see from the chat this one isn't popular & TW is involved - its reached an old buyzone so will prob stop here - impressive effort in one of the greatest bull runs in recent history lol - technically the push & the breakout stages haven't happened yet so no reco - just the observation that its reached a floor

Weekly Log reveals the H&S - which is now complete - hence the hammer off the accumulation zone - but it will have to properly base & rns good news to ping

[asturius101] 10/3/2017 12:34

So, I wonder when these 'experts' on here are going to claim they have closed their positions at the very bottom and are now long!

[smithless] 10/3/2017 12:26

Has anyone read resolution 2 - to permit the issue of ord shares pro rata to EXISTING shareholders for non-cash consideration to the value of £6.05m under sections 551 and 570 of the company act 2006. Who are these shares going to?

[smithless] 10/3/2017 09:18

Taken from RNS 26 May 2016
Of the £24 million financing, £11 million will be received shortly following signing. The second tranche of £13 million will be available for drawdown on completion of a £25 million cash or capital injection to fund the development of a manufacturing base. Should these milestones not be achieved by the end of March 2017, the initial £11 million tranche will become repayable by September 2017.THEN ON 30 SEPT 2016. In May 2016, we announced that we had signed an agreement with a fund advised by Metric Capital Partners LLP ("Metric Capital"), a Pan-European private capital fund manager, to invest £24 million in a financing facility to support the Company's provision of vendor financing for the installation of our first LIGHT machine in Harley Street. This facility was conditional upon a future £25 million cash or capital injection to fund the development of a manufacturing base for the LIGHT system. As announced earlier this morning, the Company has agreed with Metric to waive this condition and to make the full £24 million financing facility available for drawdown, subject to completion of the Subscription and the implementation of an additional financing plan supported by banks and strategic partners which will not be dilutive to equity investors. Further details of this financing plan are expected to be announced by the end of the year. SO REC'D the £11m, then DIDN'T, but may now receive in the future. I think these letters AVO and Matric talk about just come and go when it suits.

[pj 1] 10/3/2017 08:31

Beware TRINKA9. A drowning man will clutch at straws. If things are as bad as TW says then the Co are in last chance saloon and therefore nothing to lose with.......engineered RNS's shall we call it, it's not as if they haven't done that before is it?

[trinka9] 10/3/2017 08:27

After this mornings statement from the Company,it proves one thing.
TW has been talking his book all the time making ridiculously rash
statements which are clearly false and he deserves to have a major
Liability case brought against him from us shareholders.He is the
fraud who especially after the shareholder presentation is continuing
to try and drive down the share price to satisfy his greedy ego.He is
the one who should be put in Ford Open.

[pj 1] 10/3/2017 08:20

Obviously a major shareholder(s) have voiced concerns imo

[1savvyinvestor] 10/3/2017 07:59

Certainly not convinced by the rns. Share remains a sell for me. Shame as the tech seems very attractive but I am at best dubious whether they can see it through to production

[smithless] 10/3/2017 07:42

TW is going to have a field day with these guys at the GM. Read the circular, especially the bit on short selling. The bottom line is why go with Bracknor if Metric is supposedly falling over themselves to give AVO. Very simple Metric see the next stage as just too risky and will wait on the sideline for 24 mths and once most of the risk has been taken by shareholders will offer a loan. The quote from the partner at Metric's to smooth the GM process is just outrageous, but not surprising, as AVO has used them as leverage before. This is still a SELL, whatever the smoothing words the management give. You can't trust them IMHO

[igbertsponk] 10/3/2017 07:10

Announcement says basically we don't like Bracknor and would prefer to give the company to Metric instead.
