If your rights are in an ISA / LISA, you can buy the news shares either in that ISA / LISA or in an HL Fund and Share Account. To buy them in an HL Fund & Share Account please tell us this in the further details box when you give your instruction. If your rights are in any account other than an ISA / LISA you can only buy them in the account they are held. You’ll need enough money on your capital account from noon on 23 September 2021 until the money is used later that day. We’ll add your new shares to your account on or around 28 September 2021. If you don’t want to buy more shares in easyJet, you don’t need to do anything. Your rights to buy new shares may have a value. If so, they’ll be sold for you shortly after 28 September 2021. Any proceeds after costs will be added to your HL account. Alternatively, you can sell your rights at our normal dealing charges. The deadline to sell your rights is 4.30pm on Thursday 23 September 2021. If you’d like to sell some of your rights and use the money to buy some easyJet shares in the right issue.

More director purchases albeit only 15k from a non exec. Lots of positives; no covid traces on trains in a recent study, staycations this year, trainline seeing underlying growth in ticket sales all point towards organic growth here, we have a c.41p cash return to look forward to, a strong balance sheet and the cherry on the cake would be a Greyhound sale! Ok i’m asking too much on the dog of the business….

Encouraging to see the Director purchases after the closed period end. By my calcs we will have 41p returned as a special and forecast earnings is around 5p for 2022 so we are trading on a forward PE of around 8 times. With a strong balance sheet, economy opening up and the ESG angle (public transport) this looks a decent long term hold for me.

FIRSTGROUP PLC STATEMENT RE: UK GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR BUS INDUSTRY FirstGroup plc (‘FirstGroup’ or ‘the Group’) welcomes the announcement by the Department for Transport (‘DfT’) of a bus recovery funding package to support the provision of vital services by regional bus operators in England as pandemic restrictions ease. The new funding of £226.5m over six months will reinforce delivery of local bus services across England as passenger numbers rebuild. The funding package will support the industry’s transition away from the COVID-19 Bus Service Support Grant (‘CBSSG’) programme, which has been in place since May 2020 and will formally come to end on 1 September with the introduction of the new package.

In theory, if the share is accurately valued.

Remember : If they dish out a 30P div the share price will drop by 30p when it goes ex div!
