Nominee Company holdings do not have to be notified, except that a single beneficial owner's holding should be if it crosses Notification thresholds.

I believe Barclays have a company Barclay Nominees Ltd for such.

I think these would be direct, or asset management company, holdings being changed.

Could Barclays buy on behalf of an investor who wanted to remain anonymous and hide their increased holding? That wouldn't be legal, would it?

Aren't Barclays SEO's bankers as well?

Yes, I think they are.

This from a RNS last year:-

'...its existing overdraft facility with Barclays Bank PLC by the end of November
2006 and, in any event, this facility would be subject to immediate review and
potential withdrawal. In addition, under the terms of the current funding
granted to the Company, certain lenders have the right to demand immediate
repayment of outstanding amounts of 0.9m due by the end of November 2006, which the Company would not be in a position to repay.'

This couldn't be a deal to repay the loan, could it? Shares instead of cash?

I think if it were, it would require an RNS to say the shares had been issued by SEO.

Spoke to Geoff Smith this am and he was of the opinion that these holdings were not direct Barclays holdings but made up of more than one holder ie nominees.Infact he wasn't very helpful when pressed ,maybe someone else should try him.Wellcome back Tony.PS as Oblo says not neccessarily PI's but could be instutions hiding behind Barclays.Edit but only up to 3%(see later posts)

Could even be AoR getting back in after the sale of at least 85,000,000 @ ~1.2p back in Oct '06. Would take it to over 10% holding!

Just guessing of course....nothing else to do here eh?

If you hold over 3% in a nominee account do you as beneficial owner have to declare it, or do the nominees declare it in thier name?

See.http://www.uksa.org.uk/Nominee_Accounts.htm for some info.

Looks like Barclay's could be doing the same here as they are doing with Bio fuels (bfc)
Taking the company private on the cheap then de-listing asset stripping (restructuring) then re listing in a year or so

AOR is indeed an interesting possibility in all this.

They sold some in October to "take up their rights". After the sale they would now have had 5% (if I remember correctly) without taking up their Rights.

In the Annual Report they were not listed as a 3%+ holder, yet we had had no notification of changes

I raised this with the Company and got a wishy-washy reply "there have been changes" - "we cannot identify their holding" etc.

Someone close to AOR told me that they would have informed the Company of any Notifiable changes in their holding - not saying if there had been or not.

I heard elsewhere they did not take up their Rights but still had an interest.

Hi. Thanks. Desperate for beer and curry after so long away!

Just for a minute, forget everything stressful and read
this...............

Relax and go back in time...
Before the Internet or the Apple Mac.

Before semi-automatics, joyriders and crack....

Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...

Way back........

I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park.

The corner shop.

Hopscotch.

Butterscotch.

Skipping.

Handstands.

Football with an old can.

Fingerbobs.

Beano, Dandy, Buster, Twinkle and Dennis the menace.

Roly Poly.

Hula Hoops, beck jumping, building dams.

The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

Joe Bazooka bubble gum.

An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays tune -
Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan or perhaps a
screwball



Wait......

Watching Saturday morning cartoons....short commercials

The Double Deckers, Road Runner, Banana-Splits, Zeebedee, Tiswas or
Swapshop? and 'Why Don't You'? - or staying up for Doctor Who or The Muppet
Show. When around the corner seemed so far away and going into town seemed
like going somewhere foriegn Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee
stings. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians and Zorro.
Climbing trees. Building igloos out of snow banks. Walking to school, no
matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath, laughing so
hard that your stomach hurt.

Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights.

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
Being tired from playing.... remember that?! The worst embarrassment was
being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon
Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.


I'm not finished just yet.....

Eating raw jelly. Orange squash ice pops.

Remember when...

There were two types of trainers - Dunlop Green Flash in girls and boys

- and the only time you wore them at school was for P.E.

You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents.

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve.

When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.

When 25p was decent pocket money{3d. for you oldies}

When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.

When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there. When it was
considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant
with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or
use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of
it. When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate
that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for
our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs etc.
Parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! - and some of us are
still afraid of them!!

Didn't that feel good?

Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!

Remember when....

Decisions were made by going " Ip Dip Dog Shit "

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly". The
worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs. And the worst
thing in your day was having to sit next to one. It was unbelievable that
'British Bulldog' wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant
being caught with a catapult. Nobody was prettier than Mum. Scrapes and
bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured
chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group Getting a
foot of snow was a dream come true Older siblings were the worst
tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED.

Pass this on to anyone who may need a 10 minute break from their "grown-up"
life ...

Ahh, brings a tear to my eye Pat!

Oh, "Running till you were out of breath,".......................the only thing that has changed there is the distance, or lack of it now!

Now off to the pub{Chalk Farm} to pay 3.25 for a pint of Guinngy.

PATISEAR,

Your post, totally off subject, but your forgiven as it's spot on. It bought a tear to the eye (a bit like SEO's SP) a lump to the throat (a bit like SEO's SP). I like the bit about 25p being decent pocket money. I remember when SEO's SP was 25p. The bit about comics, (reminded me of SEO's accounts/prospects).
I remember that eating raw jelly made me sick (a bit like SEO,s, etc, etc).
Sorry about that, I'm trying not to think about Stanelco so much but its taking over my life.
May have to get some professional help. Is there the equivalent of 'The Priory' for such as me, with the SEO addiction, or should that be affliction.

price finished 12.5%+ this evening any suggestions guys other than the Barclays takeover rumour?

How do you make money when the spread is 10.5% dont get sucked in!

And with a spread of that size, no one was interested in making any sort of market.
As to why the 12.5% increase, I just wish I knew why.

Hi halifax, I have NO intention of investing further in Stan Laurel & Co as I had already bought in at 1.72 over a year ago and will sit tight!

MM games, perhaps?
I noted that Shares ran an article on "Green Technologies" - - - er, and didn't mention SEO.....Execs might be busy getting deals with supermarkets and who else? . . . .

Bargepoles, the sooner these Directors are ejected the better, IMHO.
