Thanks for the heads up; it certainly allays some of my concerns. The documents really ought to be on the Companies House website by now. By the way it's LifeStream not LiveStream.

I'm umming and ahing about whether to subscribe. £24 isn't going to break the bank and the executive directors Briggs, Mustoe and Metcalfe have, between them, stumped up £500k+ as part of the subscription (but have no plans to take up any additional offer shares). It's hardly chump change and, given BST's recent history, I'm not sure I'd have put £500k+ into BST at this stage. It's certainly a statement of intent.

I appreciate that there are no guarantees in this life but (don't tell the wife) I think I might put in £50 and try and pick up some additional offer shares whilst I,m at it. There's a sucker born every minute ;-)

Anybody else received a corporate action notice today. BST Group ("BSTG") are making an open offer to all existing shareholders to purchase three new subscriber shares for every existing share that they currently own at 0.01p per share.

I've questioned this with ii because the nominal value of BSTG's existing oridinary shares is 3p per share and, as far as I'm aware, it's not legal to issue new shares at a discount to their nominal value. I'm assuming that the Board and other large investors are relying on PI apathy to try and swamp them out but there's already 216m shares in issue so it all seems rather academic to me.

I currently hold 8,000 shares and appear to be being offered the opportunity to buy 24,000 additional shares (with a theoretical nominal value of £720) for £24 (a figure ii confirmed over the phone)!

ii's initial response was to say that the nominal value of the shares isn't relevant to the open offer but I've begged to differ. If this was legal then, in the event of a solvent winding up, you'd in effect have acquired an equivalent right to any existing shareholder to the capital available for distribution despite having only contributed one 3,000th of the nominal share capital per share! I have to admit that the question of a solvent winding up in the absence of any apparent purchaser willing to acquire BSTG's assets at a significant (astronomical) premium to their current book value would seem to make it a mute point but, on principle, that's irrelevant.

I'm almost tempted to chuck £24 at it just to see what comes out of the woodwork, if anything, but would not be happy to susbcribe only to find that I'm expected to stump up £720 (or more) at a later date because of an error in their paperwork.

The amount that BSTG seem to be asking for the new subscriber shares is risible and, allowing that there are 216m shares currently in issue, will, by my estimate, only raise £65k! That'll barely cover the issue costs if that! Something's awry (or afoot).

You got more than BST I would guess

...with his selling proposition:

"Big Sofa (#BST) – 2018 loss of £3.4m on revenue of £1.7m, new CEO Kirsty Fuller notes now material cost savings & a sharpened selling proposition"

"Big Sofa (#BST) £1m placing at 4p - all with board and close associates ( and TW[!]). No loose stock"

I think he meant to say "No-lose stock" but couldn't quite bring himself to say.

So since last June Ipsos have put 8 micro orders through to BST:

Since Ipsos Group became a related party, there have been 8 individual projects which have fallen outside the Parameters. In aggregate, these contracts amount to less than GBP60,000

a mere pimple, not even a blackhead!

Just viewed the Adam Reynolds interview. BST got a hidden mention! Something about a whistleblower in the US ratting on a couple of colleagues. Another reason for Lidington's ejection from hands on control?

BST is a non-visible blackhead as far as IPSOS is concerned.

A secret weapon they have is IPSOS. As the previous CEO stated previously, its like having their 200 sales staff working for free. I think Pepsi and Proctor & Gamble contracts came via IPSOS. They hold a large stake and are very much interested in the growth of BST.

The US angle seems to be the one to watch and the one where new work and clients come from.

It has been battered and burnt through cash but perhaps this could be the turning point and the tech ready now.

My mistake, the UK City Forum featuring Adam Reynolds and maybe some focus on BST is at 5.30pm tonight.

IPSOS have been totally shafted here. I wonder what their exit/ risk control reserve is?


IPSOS bought 20% of BST for £3million


If they had not done that and waited then amazingly I think they could possibly have picked up the whole damn thing for £4m, maybe even £3m.

This is not going to end well. I cannot see how BST BoD can survive this fiasco
====================================================================================
There you go circa £3m Market Cap, and it will probably go lower!!!!!

Disgrace. I actually , for a change, feel very angry about this.
