Low volume today, not too bad at all!

zangdook, sure, each share is now a 31.6% larger slice of the company but it's also now a smaller company.

Sure, each share now has a 31.6% larger slice of the company but, unless shareholders reinvest their B share cash, they have 24% fewer shares.

I did say last week that liquidity in available shares was going to be put under pressure now that the free float of tradeable shares has decreased by at least 24%

One hell of a short squeeze going on, or a major competition to get in (or back in) before too many amateur investors catch on at last to what has happened over the last few weeks.

Yes but considering they said it was a dividend - all they have done is swap shares for money - I feel like lost out on a dividedn

They didn't sell your shares. They cancelled them, and they cancelled everyone else's so now each share represents a larger slice of the company.

Anyone any idea when the company will issue a definitive narrative on how the treat the capital return/reduction for capital gains tax purposes?

It did say the information would be available shortly after the event.

[norry2] 23/5/2022 13:33

Yes you are.

[eurofox] 23/5/2022 13:28

Yes, you are missing adding at 412p ish.

[tygarreg] 23/5/2022 13:25

I must admit that I should have paid more attention but I thought that Aviva were giving us some money back with this £1 divi? But it appears they just sold 25% of my shares and gave me the proceeds. I could have done that myself. Am I missing something?

[unastubbs] 23/5/2022 12:38

reports of my death were...!?

[unastubbs] 23/5/2022 12:37

well ok...85.

[marksp2011] 23/5/2022 12:34

Una Stubbs...47?

Really?

[unastubbs] 23/5/2022 12:25

just talking to myself. 47 since you ask.

[rongetsrich] 23/5/2022 09:38

Bit silly to call names. How old???!!!

[ianood] 22/5/2022 22:07

klotzak, here here!
Let's call an end to all this whining which seems to stem from a complete and utter lack of understanding.

[klotzak] 22/5/2022 21:42

Keyhole, you post nonsense.If you have faith in the company you put your money where your mouth is. You give the impression you don't have have confidence.Rather than whine about it, sell up and leave. If you do have confidence, why whine?There are plenty of companies to invest in, a whole 100 in the FTSE100, or 250 outwith.This company is well run, streamlined and efficient, but I also have a choice... I could sell and move on. In this case I will not. You brought no constructive criticism.

Its already a cheaper price, wasn't the pre-price 423p, so you could buy back the 24% and have cash leftover.

[fatherjack3] 22/5/2022 19:07

Yep, cratering interest rates have hurt Aviva, as well as a disastrous acquisition. As long as Amanda focuses on the core business, coupled with rising interest rates and a loosening of Solvency regs then there is plenty of upside in the share price

[smurfy2001] 22/5/2022 17:40

Just buy back the shares when the opportunity presents a cheaper price.

"If you are that suspicious or unsure, why are you interested in Aviva?"

Strange comment...

I have been invested in Aviva (or it's predecessors) since the 1990s. That was initially Commercial Union (CU) Then + General Accident to become CGU. Next a merger in 2000 with Norwich Union to be called CGNU. In 2002 it was renamed Aviva and the share price reached £8.20 in 2006. From then on the share price has been all downhill.

At no time in all these shenanigans did the companies impound any of my shares!

[norry2] 22/5/2022 16:01

You haven't had a dilution

[buzz24] 22/5/2022 15:37

Eurofox is my hero on here...;)

I am sceptical but agree its worth holding on in this low interest environment where its difficult to see rates moving that much actually and even if the dividend was half the rate going on...

My preference would have been special dividends over a number of years without dilution of shares.
