I don’t see why they would be excluded. Any idea what happens to share cert holders? Expect it will have to be by post

[bountyhunter] 23/5/2024 07:26

There should be a corporate action depending on your broker is my understanding. I can't see that nominee holders are excluded.

Will this offer be open to those with nominee accounts or is it best to invest once in general issue around 10th June?

Unastubbs,

Yes, the average CPIH for the year was 5.575% The Company have decided to call the average CPIH 5.55%

Not much difference ( .01p ) but the maths favours the Company ( naughty ).

😂

That was unexpected!

645 pence per New Share on the basis of 7 New Shares for every 24 Existing Shares

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 23/5/2024 06:37

The rights Issue Price of 645 pence per New Share represents a 34.7% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price based on the closing middle-market price on 22 May 2024 (being the last business day before the announcement of the terms of the Rights Issue) of 1,127.5 pence per Share, adjusted for the recommended final dividend for FY24 of 39.12 pence per Share..

Se UtyInv's post 8830.

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 22/5/2024 19:14

#Gilesy911, I have 39 pence pencilled in too, but we will soon see what we get.. :o)

[gilesy911] 22/5/2024 19:06

Results at 7amWhat will be the pence per share39p ?

[gilesy911] 22/5/2024 16:23

General Election ?? Thursday the 4th of July

[pierre oreilly] 17/5/2024 10:30

Well the way I see the divis in your example in companies like this..The price will be marked down 39p at open, and then a 49.9% chance of a drop from there at the EOD, and a 50.1 chance of a rise.The slight advantage of a rise due to all the company valuation ratios looking improved due to the xd drop.Other factors, like any day, could theoretically drop the price 100% or increase it by several hundred %. (The outers being extremely unlikely).

L2022


6th June Ex Divi date. Results 23rd May Next Thurs, then may, emphasise may, get to £12ish. Expected minimal Final divi to be announced next Thurs of 39.13p / share, based on dividend policy followed by the Company.

Then 70% certain it falls on 6th June by 50p min. BTW all this is strictly hypothetical and based only on my opinion. To decide what's best for you, you need to DYOR.

Appreciate ideas on when this will retreat? Thanks!

[1carus] 13/5/2024 07:23

Pierre, I guess it gets to the point where you have to stop hitting your head against a brick wall. If the system is going to fund it, no matter how wrong, eventually you will just take the money and go with it.

[pierre oreilly] 08/5/2024 10:15

Seems obvious. Returns based on assets, assets increasing massively as ordered by regulator to handle more and more intermittent windmills, new assets paid for by customers, ng. wins all round. Customers lose all round.

I suppose there's no one left at ng. to say this is all insane. If they did, they'd soon be out. Welcome to the green way of doing things.

[utyinv] 08/5/2024 09:59

As per my post 8832, first real week in May its hit £11.

So predictable.

FWIW :- Berenberg raises National Grid price target to 1,150 (1,100) pence - 'hold'

[freedomexpress747] 18/4/2024 09:58

This is my largest holding and I doubled up on weakness. Good, stable business, and demand with a digital economy can only go up. The ESG investors can buy this, the income investors can buy this, those who want international diversification can buy this, politicians need stable power transmission etc.
