Tony - not too sure, but I think a change to notifiable holdings must be made within 7 days. Somebody wiser than me out there could probably put us straight.

Gary & Star - Thanks

Seems an unlikely high number - more announcements probably due then.

how long wait for RNS

Sky News ,

right now the environmental minister is talking about the packaging problem

Tony - not necessarily. I think (again somebody could put us straight) that if an investor already holds more than 3% and increases that holding to (say) 4%, then they are under no obligation to inform the company and therefore no RNS is issued. The criteria is simply if the increase/decrease crosses the magic 3% threshold.

Starfrog,

Re the holding 3% and then increasing holdings. No notification required.
But can put out info if sufficient increase to effect the shares sp.

Back from Bonny Scotland anyone that wants any stuff put on the Research Page post it here and I will transfer it.

Any comments on the buy of 27,764,721 shares @ 1.86p at 17:10 surely an RNS must follow this purchase.
Colin a long time holder and avid reader of this very informative thread

The 27m plus is I believe a sell and matches the one earlier this morning.

This is why the price is lower.

Someone has made a fast profit!

Hi Fred you could be right 1/2 a mill's a lot of dosh, it could be baza?

Just checked not a buy or a sell it's a

X trade Cross at the same price.

Driver, what is a X trade? could you explain please.

willing buyer/willing seller matched off market so no risk to broker who does it for an undisclosed fee (zero?) charged to one of them not in the price - e.g. a fund wants to sell its holding to a sister fund; a husband to a wife to balance their portfolios/tax situation etc.
at least, that's what I understrand. others can coorect me if I'm wrong.

Nice to see an upturn in the sp. May the board keep quiet whilst were heading in the right direction.

Back to Notifiable Holdings...

Irrespective of those Instittutions taking up the Firm Placing, there should be more RNSs following the Refunding because 3 of the holders listed in the Prospectus would now have dropped below 3% - even taking up their full entitlements.

Tony,
Unless they have purchased more via the open market.
As no RNS I think that is most likely.

For Fidelity perhaps but LR Nominees and TDWaterhouse Nominees were not their own shares but us PIs - and we were not able to partake in the Firm Placing.

As we all know, articles such as the 2 below are telling us nothing new,BUT they do show that it is not just continual pressure being put on the supermarkets, it shows that this pressure is intensifying. All parties know that the green issue is there to win customers (supermarkets) and votes (politicians).

Too much packaging? Dump it at checkout, urges minister

Shoppers were urged yesterday to take direct action to force supermarkets to cut the excessive and wasteful packaging that goes direct from the shop shelf to the household bin. The environment minister Ben Bradshaw advised food shoppers to leave excessive wrapping at the tills and to report the stores to trading standards in an attempt to cut the amount of unnecessary plastic sent to landfill sites.

The government has warned the UK's supermarkets that they must do more to reduce the amount of waste that is generated from "unnecessary and excessive packaging".

Following a meeting with the country's top grocery chains today,local environment minister Ben Bradshaw said that while efforts by retailers to reduce waste were welcome, further action was needed to encourage consumers to follow their lead.

Tony,
Sorry but I don't understand what that has to do with the less than 3% issue.
Those that did take up the placing ( as you say not us PI's ) could have increased their holdings via a normal open market purchase, so even allowing for dilution could with the increase purchases remain plus 3%.
As I understand it shares held via nominee accounts do not have to declare their holdings amount. So no RNS required from either LR Nominees and TDWaterhouse Nominees accounts.

G
I assumed that those holdings listed were the total of all PIs shares under those brokers nominee 'umbrella' and not just a single investor. I didn't know that composite nominee holdings were outside the requirement. Thanks.
