Enquiries to Neil Woodford. Ihave read with interest your (bored lawyer) post and those associated with it directly or by subject matter.
My own position has been laid out over several months with infrequent, but I think pertinent , observations,
I control 170,000 shares at an average that I wish was lower.
I think this message board has been designed or manipulated to waste vast amounts of retail investor energy ; in particular it allows steam to be vented while no one actually does anything .
It is clear to me that the science here is remarkable.
It is clear that the management of this company have a complete disregard to the reasonable concerns and interests of retail investors. To what extent this is due to the personal psychologies of the Officers I do not know. I find it very very odd. It may be perfectly honest ... but still very very odd. Like having a friend with Asperger’s(this is not intended as a flippant comment).
Tomorrow I am contacting Neil Woodford’s team and enquiring if there is any way in which he can use my shares voting rights at the ASM. I don,t know if this has any mileage in it but it seems , to me, absurd that no one can get a squeak out of the company while all the while deals are being done that dilute our interest to hell. Such dilution might be fair in the interests of the original huge stake holders , but if so , say it out loud. .
It I also clear to me that in the event of something “tricksy” occurring that we need some leverage ready and waiting. This should not be an ambulance chasing lawyer... the stakes are far too high. Woodford is the obvious RV point if we , as retail investors, suddenly find ourselves out in the cold.
I will contact NW regardless. If anyone thinks there is mileage in asking him to represent individual voters please say. If anyone thinks there is mileage in asking him to be an RV point in the event that we wake up one morning to have no share value please indicate.
Just to be clear... no-one is shaking my shares out of me. This is all my honest opinion . I have no idea if NE will respond. The only way I have of contacting him is on the message board at his NWBO holding fund.
