Or perhaps not.

"TalkTalk likely to default on its debts, ratings agency warns"

[1gw] 08/4/2022 17:19

17th December 2020:
"TalkTalk to be taken private as it agrees £1.1bn deal with suitors Toscafund and Penta"


Today:
"TalkTalk weighs £3bn sale as rivals line up"

Anyone who took the paper option will do very well by the look of it.

For those that were wondering, Dunstone didn't reply to the tweet. This is what I sent him: "@CharlesDunstone another train wreck at talk talk with PIs stuffed at the derisory Tosca offer. Still at least you've creamed off the fat off this and DCG over the years eh. Happy days for the elites".

A smidgeon of petty satisfaction knowing he more than likely read it at least; he doesn't receive many and has replied to people complaining to him about carphone warehouse in the past (mostly to say "nothing to do with me"). Hopefully we won't hear any more of him.

Mm are still trying to screw the PI's offering 0.9695 to sell. Snakes

Missed the deadline then but my head was saying take the cash and heart saying get shares in new Co. Risk for that is immense so the fact I will get cash is probably best.Who really wants their money with people who have proved themselves to not look after the interest of shareholders?

[commuter10] 04/3/2021 10:54

Yes deadline to be received by was by 1 p.m. on the 3rd March. Otherwise you will receive a cash amount at 97 p per share.

I think last trading day 11/3

[rossc1982] 04/3/2021 09:34

I think the deadline was yesterday.

Just had a quick look for the corporate bit of their website and couldn't find it.Did find ' report a scam' though. Useful to report for the prices going up, and the fleecing of shareholders with the mbo.

[1224saj] 04/3/2021 09:01

All the details are on the corporate section of their web site

[feelthepain] 04/3/2021 08:02

Anyone know what options we have with shares and what time line for decisions to be made on staying with new company or taking the money?

[paulo435] 03/3/2021 08:42

Hi Diku, they sure are. In September I signed up to the fixed contract - clearly advertised as having “no mid contract price rises for 18 months”, and yet yesterday they announce an increase in charges that will apply from the 1st April. I’ll be picking up the phone to them later. It’s misleading advertising if you ask me.

[diku] 02/3/2021 23:30

Is this outfit increasing monthly broadband charges from April?...when you take out 18 month contract they tell you no increase of charges during the fixed period...now they give you 1 month noticed...take it or leave...so contract is irrelevant...time ombudsman got involved...

[paulo435] 02/3/2021 17:36

Sold out of here today, good riddance. I see announcements are also out from the company (today funnily enough) about the new pricing structure and continual price increases that are on the way. Good time to get out of contract peeps and so I’m ditching them on that front also and will be giving my money to another provider. Good luck all who still hold.

[1gw] 02/3/2021 14:33

Sold my remaining ones today. It was a good investment holding from demerger up to selling out in 2014, but I started buying back too early in October 2015 and never recovered from that.

[1224saj] 02/3/2021 13:21

The trade view on Dunstones actions are not good. 14.3m votes said no

[shaker44] 02/3/2021 07:56

We wish. Of course they will recover - and make another fortune - and continue political donations. They know the game.

[leadersoffice] 02/3/2021 07:35

All approved. Decided to just take the money and offset the Loss. Charles Dunstone won't recover from this shambles and neither will members of the board.

[feelthepain] 28/2/2021 08:51

Paulo. You say "boy have I learnt what the guys get up to".

The problem is the information does not help in the future s you have no control. I have lost money here and in 2003 similarly lost money in Cordiant, which was bought by WPP for a pittance.

Martin Sorrel bought the debt then threatened to take the company into administration if the board did not not accept his offer and if I recall the rumour was the board members were offered a package if they accepted the deal. Shares values at 35p only months before were taken down to 2.5p. Another knight of the realm who fleeced shareholders.

The very organisations set up to ensure transparency and fairness couldn't care less.

[paulo435] 27/2/2021 16:22

Looks like a done deal on Monday then, no counter offers. I’m one of the few lucky ones who bought in a good bit lower than the offer price but boy have I learnt what these guys get up to and how many investors have been fleeced imo. Milked the market for the cash - it’s akin to running up creditors with a small business and then shutting up shop leaving them with a pittance and nothing can be done about it.

[bookbroker] 24/2/2021 09:20

They likely need to take on staff now and again, this will likely be sold privately so holders had better not continue to hold if you want transparency. Shame no one else came knocking while a quoted entity. It’s a marginal player, will remain so!
