How the Aryzta Rights Issue will work

Brokers saying my fathers 1096 shares would sell for 24c each today - that’s it. I’m horrified.

I think I’ll have to fund his taking up of rights to have any hope of seeing return of value. But it’s a risk for me. Any thoughts?

The share price today is €1.23 so that is roughly the price they would get if you sold them.

However, you are entitled to buy 10,960 shares at 88 cents each. That is €9,644

When you or he takes delivery of the shares, which is probably Friday, he should be able to sell them at c. €1.23 cents each.

So he will get €13,480 and can repay the loan to you.

I wonder does he mean that you can sell the 10,960 rights for 24 cents each, not the shares.

In which case your dad would get about €2,600 cash and still have 1,096 shares worth about €1.23 each.

That's what I had understood when seeing the valuation mentioned... because of the unusual structure of the rights issue, people are perhaps more confused than normal this time round (as am I!).

Redmayne Bentley

When I queried this against online share price (Yahoo) was told that price (1.21) was not available from brokers & only the 24c available.

I’m dealing with admin person there - I had them confirm that if rights exercised he’d have 1096 + 10960 of new shares. Initially I was told 10960 only; but I queried this.

The euro rights are not tradeable

I paid in sterling to a gb iban no,told today that sterling is not accepted,anyone can give me any advice what to do now.
 
Hi brendan,i am with link assets in the uk,they informed me today by email that they would be returning my sterling,i have since got a contact with
davy stockbrokers who is dealing with the rights,he said at this late stage he could not help me.
I have spoken to banking 365,he suggested i go to my bank of ireland branch in the morning and see if they could do a transfer there and then.

There was a time when i knew everyone working in my local bank,that day is gone,my local branch will not answer the phone,push 1,2,3,4,5 and so
on.
 
I met an elderly person last night who is so disappointed with her investment in Aryzta that "she does not want to throw good money after bad" by subscribing for the rights.

There will be lots more like that.

This whoje thing is a disaster.couldnt get money to zurich in time.got no contact from links until friday.links say my entitlements will be sold and i will get something from that.aryzta are a disgrace considering where iaws started from.small share holders were disadvantaged.kevin toland should be ashamed of his part in this.
 
I think its time for small shareholders to start a class action against link/aryzta,anybody on here that would know how to start.

I phoned ambudsman yesterday ,you must first make a complaint to link/aryzta then wait 40 days for a answer then you can make the complaint to the ambudsman .I am waiting until i meet an inlaw who would be well versed in these things to write my complaint letter but in my book aryzta are some shambles and probably only be thrown good money after bad investing any more in them anyway!!!
 
Aryzta is not a financial services provider, so you cannot make a complaint against them to the Financial Services Ombudsman.

Link are the Share Registrars? If so, then I don't think that they are regulated either.

So it's off to the courts with you.

This is ridiculous only got links letter in the post today, but had been trying to contact them all last week and felt like I was going around in circles nobody could help me.
The time frame here has been too short for link. I was told today they couldn't get a stockbroker in time to act on there behalf and as it stands I'm too late to take up my rights or even sell them! So now I will end up with nothing except the diluted shareholding I owned before all of this mess.
I rang Aryzta this evening and was told they understand the situation for link holders and are trying to resolve it so fingers crossed.

Its worth noting that the majority of the small shareholders in aryzta are in ireland from the IAWS many years ago.i would hope that maybe the
farmers journal would highlight this issue on behalf of the small shareholders
 
The Link mess has been reported in the Irish Times today. I suspect this will increase pressure on ARYZTA to ensure long term small shareholders are not screwed over.

ARYZTA trading at 1.55 CHF today, so the potential loss is CHF 5.50 per original share for those who fail to exercise.
 
I spoke to link assets today,he told me they were still working with aryzta on this ,he was aware of the irish times article today.
