Miton UK MicroCap Trust
"the Board has concluded that it is in the best interests of shareholders to put forward proposals for a voluntary winding up of the Company. The Board is however also conscious both of shareholders’ positive views of the investment manager and of the depressed valuations currently present in UK small and micro-cap companies, and as such has started discussions with Premier Miton about putting forward a scheme of reconstruction under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and voluntary winding-up of the Company (the "Scheme") through a rollover into one of Premier Miton’s open-ended funds" |
Lazy f...
I believe VIA-MAP is the product we have been integrated into? |
bonio, I assume the text you quote in post 21681 is an extract from the EVS web page referenced in your post 21680. Forgive me being lazy, but could you point out how (and how closely) that data relates to BIRD's PBB? |
Let’s hope it reflects in the numbers, as they are going to struggle to raise money in these markets at moment, and I can’t see many people paying up for elevate.io unless they come up with some big updates. |
You'd think this time next year, if not before, there will be discussions about extending the deal, otherwise I assume EVS has no rights to use our Tech.
Hopefully we can up the fee, although I assume the agreement probably has a right to renew and a ratchet to stop us screwing them over.
"This news follows the Company’s announcement, on 7 September 2021, that a global broadcast company (now announced as EVS) had licensed the Company’s core video technology, including its patented video codec technology, for a 5 year period in a deal worth a minimum €2 million over the contract length. The minimum contract value comprises both a development fee and license fees for editor seats and channel feeds added to the new applications which are underpinned by annual minimum guarantees." |
At least there is some traction. |
EVS, TATA and PBB.
Roflol. |
I forgot about PBB.
That was the next big thing.
I’m still waiting for the big shockwave. |
"We received exceptionally positive feedback not only on our solutions like Mediaception VIA MAP and our LiveCeption GenAI-powered live video effects, such as XtraMotion, but also on our recent acquisition of MOG Technologies and our minority investment in Tinkerlist."
"MediaCeption’s demonstrations highlighted new integrations with MOG Technologies, expanding workflow capabilities to meet needs beyond broadcast-specific applications. More and more instances of VIA-MAP are being fully operational after integration projects. The commercial traction is continuously increasing across all regions, creating opportunities for large multi-million projects." |

This could be a great investment for our farmers!

IF the share price performs to unicorn status I want as many shares as possible so a very low share price is highly desirable for me in this particular company only.
It’s just one strategy and only works if you want say a million plus shares and are very comfortable in the opportunity or of course your financial situation.
Another strategy is to buy on the way up on strength
which is the best strategy for most investors
A third general investor strategy maybe buy 15,000 for about £1k and leave it for a very useful pay off.
Personally I’m not sure this kind of investment is suitable for most people as they won’t put the work in so will get stressed by it all.
But that’s what makes a market
Wild card is we get our bid, and you will definitely want those shares in your account so fear of missing out has to be thought through. |

That strategy would work with organic growth, however if a takeover bid came in the hike in share price would be instant - good for those already in - not so good for those watching and waiting 'to see the tide turn'.
Being in now covers both potential scenarios.

It's not Nick, but why buy now. If we are truly talking about a multi multi bagger is it not prudent to wait until the tide starts to turn? Why have your money in a share that does nothing. Just my take, watching, but nothing tells me to buy this at the moment. |
Gives some idea of Google search performance.
You need to click the drop down for figures in specific countries - U.S. as expected has the largest numbers.
It gives numbers for organic search (currently 262 clicks per month) and paid keyword results. Spyfu suggests Bird pays for 9 keywords. Seems like 'chromebook video editor' and variations are the most popular searches. |
 After such a long period of elevated interest rates, investors are now becoming concerned that governments will have to increase expenditure to offset an economic slowdown. In the UK for example, whilst the Budget did raise significant extra tax, the government is also planning expenditure increases at an even faster rate.During October, the valuation of government debt fell back considerably. Alongside, major stock market indices, such as the FTSE 100 Index, returns have also moderated over the summer. These are kinds of conditions when investors seek to pick out businesses that can buck the general trend, and hence global smaller company share prices have started to outperform recently.Unfortunately, UK smaller companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM listed stocks) have missed out on this improved trend to date. AIM-listed stocks have been inheritance tax free for many years, and it was feared that the UK Budget would bring this to an end. The uncertainty over the summer has led to AIM-listed share prices continuing to weaken.Pension savings are also inheritance tax free, and the Budget during October has indeed proposed that pension savings will be liable to 40% inheritance tax in future. But in the case of AIM stocks, the inheritance tax liability will be at a reduced rate of 20%.Currently, little additional pension savings are being invested in AIM listed stocks. With the Budget changes however, we believe pension investments in AIM listed stocks may now greatly increase. This is due to two reasons, one that we believe AIM stocks are overdue a period of better share price performance. Secondly, over the longer term, smaller companies typically outperform. Hence, in the coming years, we believe the pension saving flows into AIM stocks will increase due the lower inheritance tax liabilityAs the AIM investment universe is comparatively tiny in comparison to the major stock market indices, even modest increases will, in our view, lead to AIM outperformance. We remain very upbeat about the prospects for the Trust.Gervais Williams & Martin Turner31.10.2024 |
"Miton UK MicroCap trust headed for voluntary wind-up"
One possible source of supply, held just over 3m as Oct 24th, do hold elsewhere but not sure if they would internally transfer or sell into mkt. Stock exchange notice 18th Nov suggests they put forward proposals for a voluntary winding up process to shareholders following the level of redemption requests through 2024. |
bah humbug! |
4p by Christmas? |
Meanwhile indeed...The share price is frustrating but the story hasn't changed so I continue to hold...GLA |
Is it greedy to want as many shares as possible? |
I think there are some options to add to the total, so around £2.50 per £billion.
And yes, the numbers get pretty mind boggling if predictions are hit. Imagine not just ten billion but tens of billions.
Meanwhile… |
