Hmmm - I'm with HL and haven't been given the option to vote.

[joe say] 05/5/2024 14:17

I too am with HL and have voted zagainst

Companies that zig up also zag down. I prefer ready and steady companies.

Thanks for the above posts

I'm with HL and have registered my votes against - ludicrous proposal

[pj fozzie] 01/5/2024 10:41

ii also allows shareholders to vote. I've voted against.

IG allowed shareholders via its nominee to vote on the proposed new name. I did so.

I am not anti-rebranding per se but I see others have agreed with my initial reaction. How can people choose Zigup which sounds like Sick Up which is the verb describing what a dog does after eating grass. The board knew there would be a negative reaction which is why there is no proxy form with the circular which arrived today. You have to contact the registrars to get one. The general meeting is quite close to Monument Tube station so I might turn up to vote against.

There is a lot more to this than a name change

[pj fozzie] 26/4/2024 17:31

Assuming we shareholders get to vote on this, I will be voting against. Stupid idea - see how well it went for ABRDN!

Valuation means it's probably not a sell, but a stunt like this suggests (i) they have run out of ideas with the business, or (ii) they have a monster idea to go off piste (remember Halfords!) and this is a good way of teeing us up. Not sure I like the implications behind either.

Price went up!

I resemble that remark....

I think though if you sell REDD you are selling a value share that is still pretty cheap in my book. I have run over the numbers today and it is still a long term hold for me. Decent dividend, low PE etc.

I don't think we are the target market for rebranding exercises, you have to acknowledge that we are (mostly) old farts who know nothing about these things.

A bit like British Airways.....

[fenners66] 26/4/2024 12:42

riverman77 - it does , but in that case what's the point.
It can only lead to further costs later.
Above all , zero explanation of the point so no direction.
Tells us far more about the quality of the board than anything else.

[riverman77] 26/4/2024 12:39

Sounds like it's just the plc name that will be changed, so hopefully will not require a wide scale rebranding of all their vans, websites, paperwork, etc.

[eigthwonder] 26/4/2024 08:44

struggling to embrace the change on this one

Keeping the operating brand names

[owenski] 26/4/2024 07:55

Brand name.... Zigup... Really???

What was wrong with Redde.

[skinny] 26/4/2024 07:53

Worked well for ABDN - not.

[meanreverter] 26/4/2024 07:52

Every good name has already been registered by another company; what remains are the poor names. For this reason, it is better to keep your old name — unless it is really an embarrassment. “Zigup”? Hmm ....
