let's re-phrase the question then!

boredMum, if you're there, how (and why) did you get on obtaining your certificates?

[pelleeds1980] 22/4/2009 10:31

Just trying to get my head round the consquences of not doing this? Any risks surely the shares are mine?

[wolterix] 22/4/2009 10:21

I'd just noticed boredMum , and also Wig (but a different company), 'getting' their certificates, rather than leaving them with their nominee's or whatever

not sure I'd wanna leave mine with Hoodless... is what I'm thinking

[pelleeds1980] 22/4/2009 10:19

Is there a benefit in getting a certificate - mine are with halifax if I dont get a cert is there any detriment? I am still the legal owner am I not?

[wathchers] 21/4/2009 15:45

wolterix you have to pay £25 fee to whoever you have your nominee account with and they will get them registered for you.

[wolterix] 21/4/2009 12:33

who knows

boredmum - if you're there, how did you go about getting hold of your certificates?

[wathchers] 21/4/2009 12:16

i did to see if people out there were buying stock and not just all trying to sell. Interesting that it is who it is trying to buy though wouldn't you agree? Is there a possibility of a relist or is that final party who was in talks for the entire share capital now closer to signing?

[wolterix] 21/4/2009 12:02

nope! should I?

[wathchers] 21/4/2009 11:48

cant seem to copy my email to this post box. Did you email john achroyd to say you may be interested in selling? Strange how these are now being bought i think something must be happening and even cert holders are not being informed.

[wolterix] 21/4/2009 11:46

nope, interesting, post a copy?

anything to do with Brown's new digital age?

[wathchers] 21/4/2009 11:40

[good6] 17/4/2009 07:59

Thanks guys some day with luck well see a return. Thanks for updates. Have had good fortune latley with ABH you should check them out.

[wathchers] 10/4/2009 08:44

just to keep everyone else in the loop i recieved an email from John after i emailed him regarding the talks with the last interested party and wether they had exausted everything? the reply was nothing has changed since the rns prior to delist. Could still happen i suppose but not holding my breath. If i hear anything further ill post it.

sharewinner

Thanks, i even emailed to see if there was any buyers on the books and they said not at this time, could be that the long shot hasn't paid off this time.

[sharewinner2] 01/4/2009 09:56

Not heard anything.
I have some shares on certificate and some on nominee account. If I get any correspondance I'll post here.

[wathchers] 01/4/2009 09:54

Anyone heard anything? I am still waiting for my share certificate but was wondering if anyone had heard any news?

[miyk] 20/3/2009 11:54

You shouldnt believe evertyhing you hear and best doing your own research and draw your own conclusion. Have short of 400,000 shares in nng! What a waste!!

[ihavenoclue] 19/3/2009 20:58

LOL great RNS ... they have been saying the same thing since early 2008 ... contract just needs a few more weeks ... major contract being finalised ... it's almost like the posted the same RNS a year or so later.

I thought they had signed one of them .. hence the rise from sub 1p ro over 3p intraday... at which point i bailed and made my best profit ever !!!

[double6] 17/3/2009 20:39

Over and out !!

[sirshagalot] 17/3/2009 09:07

thats what your lead to believe

[bozzy_s] 16/3/2009 11:23

But what's 100% of nothing?

[bozzy_s] 16/3/2009 11:23

Might be stubborn shareholders who don't want this Matthews chap to have 100% ownership post-delisting?

[8trader] 16/3/2009 10:30

Plenty of mugs around that were paying 0.15p recently and higher
even when the company announced the delisting.

[andrew1664] 13/3/2009 13:40

I got out of this one ages ago at 1.3 pence. All statements looked too good to be true and there is a strong case for suing the company for misleading information and failure to update the market. On that note, i wish all investors well for future share dealings and wish nothing but failure for any company connected with John Everard or Terry Matthews! I feel better now, plus the sbc technology is antique now and has been surpassed. No point holding shares in the equivalent of a 286 computer is there? what a shame, things could of been great . .

[catman66] 12/3/2009 10:24

Following de-listing NNG shareholders shall still "legally" own a share of the rights to 1460SBC technology!

Terry Matthews historically hasn't made many mistakes.

....When he has recognised that one of his projects is going wrong he has moved the goalposts in order to avoid losses....


On the face of it NNG is a big loss!
So why drag it on and on without any public announcements of change of direction or merger or even closure??


Here's my thoughts....

Incumbent telephone service providers all agree their business plan relies upon them reducing OPEX whilst being able to offer new services!

It is generally agreed that SDH core networks must be phased out to become MPLS? and that voice services will be VoIP

- Terry Matthews knows this and he also knows that when the carriers finally deploy their next generation infrastructure the 1460SBC is a strong component, with few competitors!

The trouble is this publicly listed NNG costs too much mothballed!

De-listing enables Terry to keep this technology alive (inside a back office in one of Mitel's buildings).



I wonder how many shares will trade by private treaty following de-listing?
Terry could quietly buy them all (for next to nothing) then he'll have 1460SBC fully developed and tested, paid for mainly by the former shareholders - wow
