you may have the shares then? Ask acquisitor about their experience.

Anyone else recieved the money? I've still not seen anything of it.

[rj allen] 11/11/2011 15:29

Funds received today - 11th November

Monies elected for the 2p per share cash alternative should be in by today - 10th Nov - however not in my account yet -

[rj allen] 04/11/2011 15:05

Has anyone received their 2p cash yet?

[acquisitor] 02/11/2011 08:13

I didn't chose to take the Astaire shares, as I would have held 4.15m shares in an illiquid AIM quoted stock. Also, the cash option was more generous, given the respective share prices. But I do hold a million Evolve shares I bought at 0.6p and think there is some upside if the management do not make any mistakes. Evolve still has some upside from the takeover of Astaire and that should show through in the share price

I have no real views, but acquisitor has made some good calls with this and Astaire and may respond to your question. It may also be reassuring that he has a current holding in Evolve? I have got a few of these after accepting the 7 for 5. No trades have taken place in Evolve over the last few days ? Not a good start and perhaps indicative of most p i's being bemused and befuddled as you and I seem to be. (:@)

[natsbite] 29/10/2011 20:02

Anyone with any views on the prospects for the Evolve share price? Unfortunately, I am in at 3.5 p.

[acquisitor] 28/10/2011 17:25

Goodbye to Astaire and goodbye to this board. Thank you ASTR. My 2.25m shares, bought at an average .4p now cashed out at 2p. My pension is very happy. Plus my 1m Evolve bought at 0.6p now at 1.2p.

[lr4850] 28/10/2011 16:48

I was one of the 15 mil that couldn't resist 40 pc more shares which has moved my pps average down from 6 p to 3.6 p. wouldn't take much of a rise for me to close out. Accept that i may live to regret that decision :-)

[tomboyb] 28/10/2011 15:38

yes - how did i get that wrong? lol

[lr4850] 28/10/2011 02:51

or, indeed, 7 for 5; ??

[tomboyb] 27/10/2011 21:49

This is a small if hollow victory for the small shareholder - From a delisting value of 0.30p per share to a payout of 2p per share -

If the option was to liquidate all the assets then that figure would be just above the 3p mark - It did indeed make no sense imho to take the 5 for 7 when you look at the current share price of evolve - and its indicative use of the cash -

78.9 mill accepted the 2p offer - 15mill took the 5 for 7 -

[targatarga] 27/10/2011 13:23

i even went to one of the agm's... xenova, cantab etc...

[solarno lopez] 27/10/2011 13:21

Mountcashel now there's a rave from the grave

[warpedone] 27/10/2011 13:18

Farewell Mountcashel/Corporate Synergy/Blue Oar/Astaire, you lost me nearly as much as you made me over the years...

[warpedone] 26/10/2011 07:44

suspended pending the court hearing today presumably

[lr4850] 25/10/2011 14:58

What's occurring ???

[lr4850] 18/10/2011 16:06

Why would people sell in market now for 1.085 when they can accept open offer of 2p and not pay dealing costs? Baffled?

[lr4850] 07/10/2011 06:12

Jeeeez

They can't even get announcements right first time and each amendment rns costs us considerable money. Are they trying to get people to accept cash, I am fed up of these time extensions and pushing back of the conclusion to this mess.

I just hope we don't get another rns lowering cash offer or number of exchange shares.

[tomboyb] 26/9/2011 07:57

Net assets roughly around 3.1 - 3.2p per share at todays interims

£6.4mill --

I will still take the 2p per share offer although you still lose out on £2.3-2.4mill worth of assets.

[solarno lopez] 22/9/2011 12:20

yes I was long before Geoff Foster got involved and in fact I met Mike Walters Geoff Foster's predecessor at the time the good Doctor was just starting out in corporate work

[lr4850] 22/9/2011 12:17

solarno.

Was it really you who were responsible:



you must be big in the city?

[lr4850] 22/9/2011 12:13

WO in that case one would sell and follow suite. My problem is that i have not been fortunate enough to get in as low as some of you guys have.Therefore, i am in this dilemma.

[solarno lopez] 21/9/2011 11:53

He was always a good guy with me and helped wherever and whenever he could ...Thanks Warped
