WHI knows but where are the results ? Three weeks later than last year and no announcement. Changed chairman (again) and FD and Head of wealth this year . Ten years of underperformance - no dividend must be embarrassing to Polygon. Let’s hope someone finally understands how to stop spending.

Hey up. 60k shares bought today so far -- and not the employee trust this time, for once. Results must be soon -- and mayne that rumoured takeover is finally coming..

The closure of the Cardiff branch has gone under the radar with the media.

Looks like the Mail a bit wide of the mark with that bid story.. I wonder who planted that..

[cwa1] 06/6/2022 12:20

Cheers, thanks ALS

Apparently there is a rumour of a takeover for £50m in the Mail at the weekend.

[gargoyle2] 06/6/2022 11:34

Tipped somewhere over the weekend maybe.

[cwa1] 06/6/2022 08:09

Aye, aye: what's "up" here? I hadn't realised that it was permitted by the stock exchange for this stock to move in an upwards direction! This is VERY suspicious and hopefully won't last too long due to its blood pressure raising effect...

Where's the year end trading update? 4 May last year.

[gargoyle2] 23/5/2022 10:47

Polygon must be asking themselves how they ever got involved with this basket case

[davydoo] 16/5/2022 11:32

WHI paid £7.8m to acquire Harpsden

It added 14% to their AUM, increasing it by £250m to £2bn

At the interims in December AUM was up to £2.4bn (assumed lower now)

At £25m today , the Harpsden acquisition cost more than 30% of the mkt cap

So is the share price undervalued? or did they overpay for Harpsden?

[gargoyle2] 10/5/2022 10:17

More 'investment'... at a cost of, say, £1 million a year in salaries? Would be good to know when shareholders are going to see a return!

[cwa1] 17/2/2022 14:23

Small director purchase...

[cwa1] 11/2/2022 17:34

LOL, of course it was them ;-)

Still left with just under 5%, which they can hardly be committed to...

[gargoyle2] 11/2/2022 16:51

M&G the seller -- they've taken a fairly hefty loss on that, I think. Surprised, I thought it would have been Oceanwood.

[cwa1] 11/2/2022 16:44

Well, it seems like there were precisely 2 people interested in that holding announcement this morning :-) Ho hum.

I'd also be interested to see who the seller was. There's only 3 holders big enough for it to be and the most logical, as mentioned above, would be Oceanwood. It also is within a whisker of their total holding anyway, so my guess is they are now out: lock, stock and barrel. Of course I could be wrong and it is one of the other two.

Shouldn't be long until we find out.

Will also be very interested to see what they intend to do with their stake. My guess is that they won't be entirely passive holders...

[cwa1] 11/2/2022 08:01

Hmmmm. Now that IS interesting :-)

[gargoyle2] 11/2/2022 07:21

Mountain Berg now has a 9.8% stake. Apparently an investment vehicle of David Ross, Carphone Warehouse founder.. could be interesting.

[gargoyle2] 09/2/2022 21:58

Oceanwood exiting maybe?

[cwa1] 09/2/2022 17:29

Chunky trade(s) today. Just a cross(looks possible), or something more interesting?
