Still burniing cash and washing the decks before the next raise maybe.

Would anyone leave, if there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

DYOR.

Well SS is a key person in the company and with his name on the patents, so obviously he is 'looked after'. I hope he has key man insurance and doesn't have a heart attack after reading posts on here before the AGM!!

Nick2412, whilst I do not wish to pry into your personal circumstances can you give some idea as to the level of investment required to obtain this sort of information, is there some kind of threshold to be passed, does it vary from company to company, it it a right or a conferred benefit?

"They are more likely to try to maximise the share price over anything else."

I didnt suggest they wouldnt,but often CEO,FD or anyone of particular interest eg SS in this case can often be given a financial "top-up" above that.

As I suggest, IM and SS would be looked after

Correct, when I was invested more heavily here a few years back I inspected the director contracts. I had to sign something that meant I am prevented from giving specific details on the contracts but suffice to say SS is 'looked after' as you say. It's worth anyone with a significant holding taking a look. It was so long ago I have forgotten what the process is but I think the initial step is to contact either a non-exec (don't laugh) or the advisor and then go up to the advisor offices.

Mo retreating to Northumbria doesn't at first reading make sense. It's known that he's keen on music apps so wanting to create one or more makes sense in terms of personal objectives.

From the viewpoint of his involvement in BIRD there's little he can do until there is a paying version available. He will have already done spadework for that event so he may not want to sit there with little to do. With a top of the range laptop and good broadband speed he is as available to BIRD as he would be anywhere. There will be a relatively small cost saving but that's not the issue. Keeping him happy and committed is.

It says very little for the board that some 30 months after the shift in strategy it has only seemingly just worked out that the NEDs probably weren't suited to the new direction.

That or they all by chance decided to leave at once,

The list and format of clients on the BIRD homepage has changed again.

Looks like Telefe has gone as well.

Anne as Chairman is a great move! Nice to see they are putting AGM online again for those that can’t attend. My one main question is why did Mo go? It’s the one that just doesn’t make sense to me. I am not accepting he has done his job already, you need him for all the twists and turns along the way.

Hyperal, in answer to your rhetorical question, I would suggest that Avacta (Avct) is one such AIM disruptor.

SSB
Well my theory is keeping me entertained 😀

[johnveals] 28/5/2024 21:43

And Anne de Kirckhove stepping up to Chairman.

[sideshowbull] 28/5/2024 20:12

Nick was talking about Shareholders.

BIRD has either created the best move ever or my daugters are going to have to join me behind Lidl bins.

Only very key people left?

Been a lot of change

Nearly all sales people gone
All the non execs
Wimbledon office gone
elevate sales executive gone
Social media / community builder lady gone

Just an engineering and ip company now?

[horneblower] 28/5/2024 19:37

I'll try and be there.
Love a freak show.

[jj_1237] 28/5/2024 19:34

i'll be going ... much easier to get to than wimbledon for me.

[sideshowbull] 28/5/2024 19:25

I will definitely be going in person to the AGM, anyone else?

SSB

[sideshowbull] 28/5/2024 19:21

AB stepping down. Too inside?

Papillon

You choose to plot a chart of the share price
Now plot a chart of the technology advancement and then plot a chart of the opportunity.

Then you will see divergence

Interesting😀

[papillon] 28/5/2024 17:50

Charts are historical records only and hence factual, Hyperal. You can predict trends into the future, but it's basically only guesswork. News drives share prices. However if you do project the long term trend of the FBT/BIRD share price into the future on a log chart you end up at zero.
The chart of FBT/BIRD since it listed around 25 years ago is awful. That's a fact. The future? That's a matter of opinion. You're biased as you're a both a believer and long term shareholder.

[nickb] 28/5/2024 17:04

That’s just one part of the market

Higher up its Corporate communications, Media companies non broadcast output, Agencies, and on and on.

[johnveals] 28/5/2024 16:17

And they are just the ones with 1000 or more followers, which would be the tip of the iceberg (I think?).

[nickb] 28/5/2024 15:51

Just shows the size of the market

Nearly every creator will have to have creative video.
