It doesn't prevent such a scenario.
However, we have in place owners of the highest integrity with a commitment to providing the Golden share and looking to implement all the positives from the fan led review. |

The purpose of the Golden share is to provide protection against unscrupulous owners, which we do not have.
It is a generational investment, and although things can change, our ownership is borne out of philanthropic principles and not on making a healthy return.
We have got extremely lucky, in my opinion. We should embrace it, even if we have to exercise some patience.

We have nothing to worry about re the Golden share offer. It was stated at the last forum that this issue would have to be incorporated into the clubs articles of association and accepted by shareholders at a general meeting.
See the York experience here

Anyone who has seen our existing articles would need to be expert in hieroglyphics in order to interrrogate them, although one stalwart has painstakingly written them up in a very helpful Word document, which has been submitted to Jamie.
As.a poster above has already posted, the clarity of the accounts submitted to shareholders is something to behold and as the accompanying email states, this meeting is an outlier. We can expect a much more shareholder friendly approach to general.meetings next year. The Trust did push for the AGM to be held nearer the accounts filing date,.and last year had to remind the board in November for the need to actually hold an AGM. |

Not sure anyone from the Trust posted any Trust info on here for a long time, but they are excellent across other social media platforms. |

As expected, it was not a full response from the Trust (not the club, I might add).
The third question remains unanswered, as it did when you asked.
Further, it appears there was only action taken after the receipt of my email, so it can be assumed that the answer is no in both cases. |

Great to get a response, however indirectly received, although I did have the question count at 3. |

Certainly zero communication with members. |

Email sent to Trust tonight:
Hello All
Please can the club board be contacted and an explanation sought and made public as to why the AGM now set for 10 am on Monday 30th December is at such an inconvenient time for many shareholders ?
Also, why the established precedent of a separate Q&A after the AGM has been withdrawn from shareholders?
Could you also advise if the original time of 530 pm for tomorrow was challenged by the Trust, and what the outcome of this challenge was?
Very much look forward to hearing back from you with a full response |

Even more inconvenient. Not everyone will be on holiday. |

It is disappointing that the meeting start time is not offset by the ability to attend via Teams. |

Absolutely no argument that the bare minimum rights of shareholders are being respected, but the privilege for shareholders as established by precedent dating back to 2013 for "the ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS FORUM" alongside a buffet to take place after the AGM has been removed in the manner that it has, using a tone that does not align itself with previous communication from the Ogden family, nor does it resonate with the ethos their investment is built on, is a concern, alongside that of unaudited accounts and the annual meeting being pushed as far back as possible in the calendar year. (Remember that the Trust had to remind the club in a meeting on 23rd November 2023 of its' obligations to hold an annual meeting that year, and this was minuted.)
As well as failing to recognise the contributions of retired directors, shareholders are now being denied a privilege their investments have previously enjoyed, via an open source, rather than the privacy of personal emails, advising that this privilege is planned to cease.
Given the unsolicited gift of the Golden Share illustrating the desire of the Ogden family to embrace recommendations of the fan led review, I am not sure why this cessation of the shareholder forum has been announced and in the manner that it has been with tacit acceptance from the largest ordinary shareholding body, seemingly failing to consult relevant interested parties.
It may not matter to some, granted, but the established opportunity to get privately into management detail has now been taken away from shareholders, which appears strange, and this sort of opportunity will not be afforded to fans at the fans forum, I dare say. |
