cocorico2009 Any bidder has at least 4 hurdles to overcome.

1) They need to persuade the IPs which own about 33% to sell at the bid price. Years ago the rule of thumb was 10 x the price paid but that assumed a sale within 10 years. At least 1 IP shareholder (Miton) bought in 2014 but I cannot find the price paid.
2) Even more importantly they need to persuade SBS, IM and all the other employees that the deal is good for them.
3)Then they need to persuade the IPs, some of whom invested in 2000, who have foregone growth and dividends elsewhere that they have got a fair return.

There are 3 bridges that the share ownership creates:
50% * 1 = control
75% = ability to pass Special Resolutions
905 = the bidder can force outstanding shareholders to sell at the highest price that they have paid so hey can get 100% ownership.

I have never seen a bid succeed below 75% ownership and most want 100%.

4) Persuading the CMA that the bid does not damage competition. For example, if it appears that BIRD will own a world beating product akin to MSFT for video creation the likes of Adobe will come to grief as might also AWS, MSFT and Alphabet

So it would need a bidder with deep pockets that is not at the very top of the league so that their purchase would enhance competition

Typical eh? I was planning on topping up today as a divi has dropped from another of my shares. Unfortunately this IT glitch has knocked Barclays out. And it's still down :-(

Sounds promising! Well done.

[nathanr999] 19/7/2024 14:09

The 4 buys around 1334 were mine. I couldn't by 125k in one go. Had to break it up into 4. Doubled my holding. Glad. Couldn't even get a fill or kill for 125k. Price asked was 7.42 for that.

[shortsqueezer] 19/7/2024 14:01

7p paid. What's on the book ssb?

[nickb] 19/7/2024 12:38

LUTS introduced in the Blackbird video editor this month

So that should move across to elevate fairly quickly and easily.

[nickb] 19/7/2024 12:35

No it’s how it should be as it keeps it all on 1 video track and is more flexible quicker and easier for the user.

The handle method was a work around and is better used for fades or/and compositing layers along with the transparency transform.

It’s getting more powerful to do effects now.

Much more to come 😀

[horneblower] 19/7/2024 12:21

NickB,
The new "dissolve" effect is similar to the old dissolve handles that still exist.
Will they withdraw one of them do you think?

[nickb] 19/7/2024 12:13

What you will see on the collaboration teams podcast will be a world class video creator platform in action.

Like a first demo of collaboration in figma or Google docs moment

The ‘City’ won’t be watching 👀😂

[mcsean2164] 19/7/2024 12:04

Would be nice to see a close above 7p today imho🤞㊃0;🍀🌠

With elevate.io now boasting an excellent set of basic editing functions; transitions, transforms, colour corrections and markers, they are now in a position to push the boat out and grow the user numbers.

Although the cake is not yet 100% baked, the expectation is that it is certainly on the way...at least as an editor.

The worries about future performance will now subside and, as it does, the share price will reflect the new risk/reward metric by rising to a more sensible level.

On my log chart the price needs to reach 7.5p to 8p before properly breaking out of the 3 year bear channel. I expect it to achieve this shortly and have added 50k shares this morning.

[shortsqueezer] 19/7/2024 10:21

I agree. Trading virtually stopped anyway
