Frankie 8,684 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 McCollco's bluff called again. EGM called then or another sign of weakness? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,684 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Also looks like clear links between Crighton and Laxey. Suggestions they may have had their vote swung in favour of board placement? All the pressure on McCollco to react. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear54 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's a bloody challenge to be a Bear these days. I used to look up the backgrounds of players we were linked with. Now it's looking for where new directors sit in the spivvery league tables. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,114 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Also looks like clear links between Crighton and Laxey. Suggestions they may have had their vote swung in favour of board placement? All the pressure on McCollco to react. What's the Laxey link apart from replacing Kingsnorth as a director at Private Equity Investor plc? I see a link indirectly via Milton being a shareholder both in RIFCplc and Weiss Korea Oppurtunity Fund Ltd. Edit: See Laxey link via shareholdings in RIFC plc and Global Fixed Income Realisation Ltd and other links to Laxey.

Crighton also sits on board of Trading Emissions plc alongside Laxey's Christopher Agar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
