I know someone who was going - trying to find out...

[topvest] 24/1/2011 13:14

Anyone know the result?

[tokyojohn] 24/1/2011 12:48

Anyone gone to the meeting? I might have if I wasn't in Tokyo. Fingers crossed we can pull this one out of the fire...

[targatarga] 24/1/2011 11:53

topvest - stops the press attending[unless they already hold] imho .....

[dougcsv] 24/1/2011 11:48

fingers crossed for a miracle...

[topvest] 23/1/2011 12:25

Well obviously you need to be a shareholder to attend!

[targatarga] 22/1/2011 22:13

Anybody turning up monday without a vote may be turned away.... imho

[topvest] 22/1/2011 21:10

Is anyone going on Monday?

[phbatbjco] 22/1/2011 16:54

anyone emailed Stevenson asking him to turn up at the meeting?

[topvest] 22/1/2011 14:55

I see that the Earl of Cromer has now resigned. The FT article is useful, but it didn't really articulate the full story. Has anyone received anything from Richmont? A requisitioner who can't even write to shareholders shows utter contempt, but I suspect we know why they can't play a straight game given what has happened here.

His Linkedin profile has a photo, though it looks pretty old. This appears more recent:

[irenekent] 22/1/2011 14:05

Was pleased to see the press coverage this morning. Stevenson is a good journo and at least with him covering this we have a public voice. Hope its not too late. Mr Chen maybe needs to be brought to the attention of the authorities in Beijing if he has behaved improperley. Any likelihood of Littlewood turning up on Monday? Anybody got a photo of him please post it. Might as well know who to look for.

[phbatbjco] 22/1/2011 13:46

anyone know any other journos? Atleast it's theFT following it

[morro] 22/1/2011 11:58

Hopefully the FT might send a reporter to the meeting.

[loverat] 22/1/2011 11:39

On the website. A summary of the FT article.

[morro] 22/1/2011 11:20

Well done to whoever for at last getting some media attention on this. It is time for the whole story to be aired in public. Whilst Chen may be politically connected in his local area, the central communist party leadership in Beijing would not hesitate to destroy him if it became in their interests to do so.

[dougcsv] 22/1/2011 11:10

Sadly too late I understand.....The vote is almost certainly not going the company's way...unless some rabbit is pulled out of the hat. A clear case of corruption and intimidation IMHO. The chinese are not even trying to be subtle about it. I guess when we heard that Mr Chen is a member of the local political scene we should have guessed. AND the article is wrong:- the requisition says nothing I believe about relpacing the directors - they are just leaving thier own, single, director. That says it all.

[phbatbjco] 22/1/2011 11:01

Article in todays FT Money section by David Stevenson re LDC which just gives the facts and mentions SL and Richmont with more to follow next week! Also gives a quote from a private investor John Slater - Cant find the link tho' - at least we have some journo covering our case

[irenekent] 21/1/2011 11:36

I'm being bombarded with letters asking for my vote - they are obviously worried. However, if it goes the wrong way I'm sure that those with substantial shareholdings are not going to just give up. Just remember, if the only director left doesn't speak english, you just have to speak louder!

[tokyojohn] 21/1/2011 11:21

Not a good sign, is it. Have got Selftrade to make sure my votes count, but I have a feeling the villains have done their sums this time and will get their way.

[dougcsv] 21/1/2011 10:38

Not looking good folks...... the Earl of Cromer has resigned.....who is going to the meeting on Monday ?

[bisiboy] 19/1/2011 18:29

approx 200k for me so not a big fish but if it helps.
