How do you know it hasn't?
That's nickb's line |
jj, according to Stockopedia SBS owns 62.8million shares. |

Yes, I am aware of that but I just thought that if there was any small element of doubt about whether it was permitted to buy shares, the NED's, for the sake of their future careers would want to be whiter than white.
I recall the two directors' buys were very small and very very small compared to their existing shareholding.
I don't know how strictly the AIM rule is enforced in such a situation. At the time it seemed important that there was some director token support for the fundraising. |
Anne, Nick, and Youri were all in prior to Ian and Stephen Whites, buys on the 16th so they could have bought. However, they all have 100s of 1000s of options. |

Maybe the appointment of the NEDs suggests,that at the time of their appointment, we were planning being on our own for the foreseeable future. However, if that was the case, as the detail of elevate's offering becomes clearer, it could conceivably change at any time.
On the other hand, I think it is the case that the NEDs haven't declared that they have bought any shares (I believe they were granted options), which seems unusual with the current share price being so low, and their enthusiasm for elevate being high. The reason for not buying could be that there are discussions taking place with one or more possible takeover candidates.
Only time will clarify all this! |
if i had a time travel machine i would be more than happy to lend it to anyone, because i would be comfortable knowing i would get it back straight away !!! |

So a 100% chance of being bought out for billions by this time next year?
You must be betting the house on it then!
At the risk of rehashing an old and unanswerable debate, why haven't BIRD been bought already? Why risk paying more next year, or risk a rival buying it, or a bidding war?
Why not buy BIRD now and oversee this stage of development taking BIRD's team in-house and tailored to their own products and systems?
It's like the possibility of time travel. If it were going to happen, it would have happened by now.
Imo, we'll still be here this time next year, awaiting the latest subscriber and revenue numbers from BIRD, trying to calculate the free-to-paid conversion rate and listening to SSB's charting predictions that the share price is about to take off 😆 |
HCBF to all those who celebrate |
6 months say.
Big tech don’t buy businesses they buy technology that is ready to scale
They ain’t going to hang around watching us build a business imho they can scale and monetise incredibly fast to millions of users |
Define much! Lol. |
0% chance of been acquired much after launch.
Just for fun😀 |
@mcsean.
BIRD isn't "eking out" it's survival. The board were very clever and raised s TON of money while the getting was good, to fund this prolonged development period.
How many AIM boards raised sufficient money 3+ years ago? And how many had wished they did, |
These percentage estimates are fun!
Here's mine :)
0% - Nickb's "plan A" that we'll be bought out before launch.
0% - SSB's charting, bull flags and share price rises.
100% - q1-q2 2025, another closed/private fundraise to allow more HNWIs onboard.
Just for fun, y'all ;) |
This is Unicorn or history
You've been saying that for around 5 years now.... It seems to continue to eke out an existence. |
johnveals ... does that include his options, or is your calculation just on shares currently held?
and i've always thought that was his ambition , hence not selling for less than that. |
When BIRD flies any buyer will have to be incredibly quick... hours if not seconds will see buyers priced out. The danger is that US investors wake up and a wall of $$$ will swamp the market locking out potential UK investors. When BIRD takes off it will become simple arithmetic and what we already know now will in time push the share price up to levels rarely seen in the UK. |
Two thoughts.
BIRD will be well outside the vast majority of Insti buy parameters for ages.
and
SBS needs £16 to be a billionaire. |
HOLDING BIRD - we all are..
No BIRD sold..

Been doing this investing thing for a bit.
They don't come too often, all about shares in the market to buy.
BIRD is at least a 100 bagger IMO.

It’s not a normal business investment
Disruptive technology in play.
The fact it’s decades in the making might turn out to be the biggest bull signal ever. |
