Thanks Skinny.

That moves us on, and I see about 46% of the fund is in Utilities, rather that the sort of Infrastructure I'm interested in. So it's a bit like ECWO, which I used to hold.

It looks as though it could have defensive merits, though losing 5% in just one month doesn't look very encouraging!

And maybe the USD series would be more stable, since most of the income will be USD, I imagine?

Penty of talk about the new company name but nobody says anything about the new EPIC,

Tried to get it from ADVFN, but not such luck, everything is going wrong with them today, chart, epics, L2.

Many thanks in advanced.

Dont complicate it, my explanation above is whats happening in simple terms, what you are asking is the technical jargon associated with consolidations. The shares you have will be divided by 10 but the price now multiplied by 1o. So if you have 1000 shares now you will have 100 after this, and instaed of each share being worth .25p it will be worth around 2.5p. So in actual fact you dont win or lose any money unless of course the price rises or falls but on the positive side there are less shares in issue so it will mean more liquidity in the market. Also investors are much more likely to trade a stock in pence than one in a fraction of a pence like it is at present. Hope this helps.

Dear All
I still don't get the repurchasing bit!! I assume this means that after the consolidation with 9 out of 10 shares they have the right to buy them back if they choose, but in the meantime if we choose to sell them along with our other shares, we can do so?? Having said that if shares have different conditions applied to them would they not have theoretically different values and as such would they need to be sold separately ?? Sorry to be a pain but I have never come across this before.

nothing wrong with being optimistic! Its all weve got with this outright punt!!

[pomp circumstance] 16/4/2005 07:02

then they will do a placing to riase at least 500,000 quid, lets hope its done at 5p!!!

[topinfo] 15/4/2005 22:30

In simple terms one for ten consolidation. If you have 500k you will have 50k under new terms, and shares should be worth around 2.5p and should become more liquid with less stock on the market.

[pomp circumstance] 15/4/2005 18:02

shares set aside to be allocated when options are taken up? guessing!

[johnives] 15/4/2005 18:01

I found this in a glossary so what's the bit about the company repurchasing, is this going to be the only way they can be sold ??

Part of the ordinary capital of a company, these shares have exactly the same rights as ordinary shares with the exception that they do not get a dividend until certain conditions are met; for example, until after a specified date in the future or unless a certain level of profitability is reached.

[johnives] 15/4/2005 17:54

Dear All
Could someone please explain to me in layman's terms what "deferred shares" are. Are they technically shares in the company that only the company can buy presumably at the price they choose to pay ??
