21/11/2019 09:35 | I doubt it will get to an EGM, now that woodford has gone who can the board rely upon for support. | flyfisher | |
21/11/2019 08:53 | "3rd ever EGM" - 2nd was only recently - CRS not very activist for an activist. @kooba - see post above. Woody was largely out on 5th Nov (via Link rather than BlackRock). CRS got their further c.9% from somewhere later on. Be interesting to see what - if anything - ALM say about the EGM. Presumably they'll be attempting to defend themselves. Edit - still a seller around too. Really need to hear when we might see the payout. Would have liked a lot more about that in CRS's statement. | spectoacc | |
21/11/2019 08:29 | Woodford stock went to Blackrock ,Blackrock placed Bulk out in the Placing. Believe Invesco still in. | kooba | |
21/11/2019 08:03 | Woody was gone already, but lack of Holdings RNS's are odd. Edit - I get confused following so many Woody holdings (as was), but a quick check on ALM shows Link down to c.2% on 5th Nov. CRS subsequently bought another c.9% on later dates. Isn't impossible they've been buying from those who took the Link/Woody holding at 47p, rather than a new seller such as Invesco, & I don't doubt the final few % have been sold by Link too. | spectoacc | |
21/11/2019 08:01 | Think the placing was Woodfords stake , believe a Invesco still there.The numbers on that placing not adding up though, think there must be other new large investors in the wings? No disclosure though..as yet. | kooba | |
21/11/2019 07:57 | I was invested in LEAF it has taken a while ( due to lengthy but very successful legal action in US) highly effective wind up of the company extracting great value for shareholders.Not sure if there is legal case here but with so many investments going wrong and hundreds of millions of shareholders money down the drain there may be an angle.I don't remember the board mentioning the $4.9m bonus payout on selling Hawkeye stake...but when you get 1 out of 40 right and you are net down hundreds of Ms on your business does this really seem justifiable??? | kooba | |
21/11/2019 07:56 | @flyfisher - waiting on the RNS, but pretty sure Invesco were the recent seller. | spectoacc | |
21/11/2019 07:52 | Specto, I would guess they are doing it that way to avoid any severance, they want them to walk voluntarily. Invesco was a 40% holder at LEAF and supported bernsteins actions. They are highly likely to support him here, between them they have 40% of the company. The existing board are done for. | flyfisher | |
21/11/2019 07:51 | It’s a good first step. This won’t be around in 2020 | buffettjnr | |
21/11/2019 07:50 | 21 November 2019CRYSTAL AMBER FUND LIMITED("Crystal Amber Fund" or the "Fund")Crystal Amber Fund requisitions General Meeting of Allied Minds plc:Proposes to remove four directors and appoint two new directorsCrystal Amber Fund, the activist investment fund, announces that it has sent to the board of Allied Minds plc ("Allied Minds") a requisition notice requiring Allied Minds to convene a general meeting at which resolutions will be proposed to remove Jeffrey Rohr, Fritz Foley, Joseph Pignato and Michael Turner from the board, and to appoint Mark Lerdal and Stephen Coe to the board as non-executive directors. The Fund expects that the proposed board will be more effective at minimising ongoing costs and maximising distributions to shareholders from the orderly realisation of Allied Minds' remaining investments. The proposed removal of Allied Minds' executive directors from the board does not preclude their continued employment as executives.Since becoming a shareholder in Allied Minds in November 2018, the Fund has engaged extensively with its management. Despite some necessary and long overdue changes, the Fund has concluded that the board of Allied Minds is still not acting in the best interests of its shareholders. This is evidenced by the annual ongoing headquarter ("HQ") cash cost guidance from Allied Minds, which has recently been increased to US$7.5 million. The Fund estimates that US$67 million of Allied Minds' current market capitalisation is attributable to its non-cash net assets (i.e. after deducting parent-level cash, which the Fund estimates to be approximately US$88 million). The annual ongoing HQ cash costs represent more than 11% of this value. In addition to this, Allied Minds this month awarded a US$4.9 million cash pay-out to current and ex-employees, despite cumulative operating losses since its 2014 IPO now exceeding $460 million.The Fund believes that it now has no alternative but to requisition a general meeting of Allied Minds in order to address the issues identified:Excessive ongoing HQ costs and misaligned incentive arrangementsInsuffic | kooba | |
21/11/2019 07:40 | Where's the rns of it? Do you have a link? | alasdair100new | |
21/11/2019 07:30 | Good, but - sounds like a decent falling-out and EGM doesn't go nearly far enough IMO. Removing 4 directors but continuing to emply them as executives! And the two additions non-exec. | spectoacc | |
21/11/2019 07:28 | Will the board step aside though ..they won’t let go of their cash cow (for them) easily I don’t think | dodger777 | |
21/11/2019 07:25 | Mark Lerdal and Stephen Coe did well at LEAF. Stephen Coe was also a non exec at ERET, which was a successful wind down. I view them both as very good news. | flyfisher | |

20/11/2019 13:33 | Strange, CRS buying all these shares, yet doing absolutely nothing about it. If they were, there surely wouldn't have been the director buy. No reply from CRS or ALM IR's. Edit - and not sure what happens to ALM share price when CRS run out of money. Their recent record doesn't inspire (to say the least), but selling bits of other holdings to buy more ALM seems a good sign, and I've added again. | spectoacc | |
20/11/2019 13:11 | Bernstein now clearly has a plan - things should start moving - current nav around 120 | ragnarr | |
19/11/2019 16:27 | With my 100 shares | buffettjnr | |
19/11/2019 16:23 | Buyback might have worked if it was Woodford or Invesco's overhang being bought back. Otherwise, bring me my divi. Switched tack and written to CRS instead. | spectoacc | |
19/11/2019 16:21 | I will block a div | buffettjnr | |
19/11/2019 15:47 | So the shareholders can get a return for their investment. To prove to other potentials that this share can make you money through dividends and share price returns. A share buy back? I couldn't think of anything worse for the private investor in this share. Has to be a cash pay out. The more the better! | alasdair100new | |
19/11/2019 13:46 | Absolutely. We need to get in there and change management | buffettjnr | |
19/11/2019 12:47 | Why on earth do you want a payout? They should take 20p per share and buy back as many shares as they can at 50p. That’s what I’m pushing for. | buffettjnr |
