I've also sold out, plenty of other opportunities (imo).

[foster] 15/6/2006 12:23

Erstwhile ... thanks for your input.
The unusual nature of events has made me nervous.
After a good run I'm out too, until the picture becomes clearer.

thanx erstwhile2
perhaps mssrs t and n rowe want to try and break up the trust
until some sort of agreement can be forged the reit will not happen
what interested me most was the potential "bid"
edited because i repeated myself

[ntv] 14/6/2006 18:45

i had thought of that as well pp
i did go long a few of these at 430 so there is some stock about
the fundamentals here are strong though
directors could start buying in stock for themselves
don't know why they don't bid £6.50 a share and take it private anyway
in this mkt you could get away with it easily

Stick a big short on then NTV, could be ripe for a fall if the board is screwing things around and confusing the holders with events.

[ntv] 14/6/2006 16:56

by the way its not that i have anything against the board at present it just seems rather an odd way to do things

[ntv] 14/6/2006 16:36

erstwhile2
do you have a list of beneficiaries of the trust?
could you post the companies house link?
tia

[ntv] 14/6/2006 16:33

i personally cannot understand how the directors can be re-appointed without a proper vote
they were defeated at the agm by a fair poll
i think the company should come to all shareholders and ask them to vote on the matter
i know understand why the will not buy back any shares,the trusts % shareholding would increase
it will be interesting to see if the trust now tries to "evict" the directors from office again

[foster] 14/6/2006 14:02

So we have the annoucement but it would seem that some kind of dispute remains.
Why would the Rowe Trust representative vote out of office its two beneficiary directors?

[foster] 14/6/2006 12:40

NTV
Many thanks for the info. It sounds like a game of hardball.
Perhaps, if the dispute cannot be resolved, the company may be liquidated?
Still no rns yet, but surely there must be some announcement before close of business today?

[ntv] 14/6/2006 00:00

wow that was one hell of an agm
mr stirling
mr t. rowe
mr n. rowe
mr ebel
were not re-elected!!!!!
mr stirling has been with the company for more than 36 yrs
unbelievable scene
the major shareholder voted agaist all but two of the resolutions
imho it all seems to stem from the board wanting to covert to a REIT and forcing the major shareholder to break up his control of the company
i might be wrong though!!!
there was also talk of a bid(this was the word used by the major shareholder) for the company though the board denied it ever recived a bid
this seemed to involve a letter to the board which was withdrawn 10 days later
to an outsider like me ,it all seemed very confusing
i decided to abstain from the voting until the story becomes clearer
with no executive directors it is going to be interesting to say the least and i guess the company will have to release an rns rapidily to explain the situation to shareholders
still i repurchased 1,000 shares i think its worth a punt
bid or no bid the company seems to have some interesting assets

[ntv] 05/6/2006 20:55

i am hopefully going

[rambutan2] 02/6/2006 10:21

ghe have held a few of these for a while...



anyone got the agm date?

[brakoll] 18/5/2006 23:04

One step forward and two steps back...and even some big leaps
both ways seems to be way of it lately. So when I found this I was
so impressed I'm passing it along!
