Has anyone sold Optare shares in auction?
Please give me advise how to sell my 5.8 millions shares. Thanks

They can be traded on the Asset Match platform. They delisted from AIM but you can still trade. Company really turned the corner and less than 1% shares not in Optare's hands.

superhoop2 I thought the shares were no longer active on the market.

Not me but interesting it was only 50k. amsy put mine up for 0.35p next time

[superhoop2] 30/11/2018 22:06

Well, someone has had a dabble and bought 50,000 shares at 0.4p. Anyone want to own up?

shez83,

Hang in there, the company is doing great ... I live in hope they return to the market or snap up the remaining odd 1% they don't own. Was hoping someone would ask a few questions like what do they intend to do about shareholders if anything at the recent AGM ...

Hi,

I'm another holder suffering from the events of 2012 (well I call it that as that was the beginning of the end for me)

I hold c.800k shares, not a lot but was £5.2k worth at the time.

Only check on it from time to time, basically a dead duck but if we could get something back then that would be a bonus.

Anyway just chucking my name in the hat so you know there's someone else out there if we are going to do anything, so please keep me informed otherwise maybe one day the OPE dream will be realised!

Cheers

Below is not a rant at anyone here, just a general rant and disappointment at the company for leaving shareholders in such an annoying position

[reximill] 02/9/2018 16:43

Optare will not return to Aim.
Ashok Leyland are a huge multi billion pound business, they now own 99.1% of Optare.
They likely do not want a partner so they won't sell, they don't need the money as they have bought all of these shares and paid off 10's of millions of Optares debt. Why would they now come back to Aim? Owning 99%, there would be no point at all.
The disappointment for me, is that the remaining minority shareholders are holding a bunch of shares that they cannot sell and could be sitting with for many years to come.
We also have no idea what they are worth at all so almost impossible to value. There are no real buyers of sellers by the look of it. (the million or so on the auction at 0.5ish is very unlikely to trade - why would anyone even buy that?)
This has been delisted for nearly 3.5 years now. The only way I can see out of this is if Ashok Leyland eventually buy the remaining shares. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? It seems only around 4 or 5 people on here.

[superhoop2] 30/8/2018 22:17

rex,

I'm clinging on to the hope that they go back on AIM... I'm sure they'll want to tidy things up and get the remaining 1% they don't own currently. Might hear something after the General Meeting this month.

[reximill] 30/8/2018 11:23

Hi Super,

The online auction offering shares at 0.4 is imo never going to trade due to the recent debt for equity massive dilution.
I was wondering if there were any real interested buyers or sellers out there.

[superhoop2] 28/8/2018 21:37

reximill,

Why do you ask? There is approx 2 mill available on asset match closing tomorrow. I have about the same amount but am holding on ...

[reximill] 28/8/2018 12:46

Would anyone here be interested in selling their shares? Are there any large holders on here?

Did anyone end up contacting optare and ashok about what will happen to our shares?

I doubt they will come back to AIM as they own 99%.

I'd personally just like the money sooner rather than later. They will either buy us out or leave us hanging for goodness knows how long.

They have clearly turned around massively as I suspected, which is why they diluted us to oblivion to take all of the upside. I just want out and to forget about it.

[superhoop2] 22/6/2018 08:32

grabster,

Glad to hear that ... remember, you can't take it with you ...

[superhoop2] 21/6/2018 21:47

I would like to think that Optare consider returning to AIM as they would attract investors this time around as they could be a massive company in the making and certainly need expanding.

superhoop - someone answered the same question about M.T.Glass on another thread. Apparently he mentioned about 2 years ago that he had got married and was off to tour America with his wife in a motorhome. Perhaps he never came back?

- and someone else bought a double decker"

[kimoldfield] 21/6/2018 15:24

Yes, it is true....amazing!8515; Today's news release:-

This week, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announced the creation of the largest double-decker electric bus fleet in Europe, with 68 new electric double-deckers set to join the bus fleet in London. Mr Khan revealed that the number of electric double-deck buses in London will increase more than tenfold, and that two routes run by Metroline from Barnet to central London will be exclusively operated by electric double-decker buses. Optare will supply 31 all-electric double deck buses for TFL Route 134 running from North Finchley bus station to Tottenham Court Road to start operation next summer.
