Trust Chairman Phil Sumbler commented:
We have been aware of the terms of the potential deal for around two weeks. It has become apparent though that the discussions have been taking place since December and not all shareholders have been allowed to be part of those discussions.
known for 2 weeks? silenced by a NDA? |  | | |

No I didn't we drafted it just after 6pm this evening
I'm not sure why you keep missing the bit even though it has been confirmed by at least 3 people involved in these things for us |  | | |

No silenced vy the fact that until this morning we could not even open discussions with Jason Levien about what it could mean for us
The terms of the deal make little reference to the Supporters Trust | | | |

The Non-Trust shareholders must have had a real fright when looking like we were going down.
Don't think they are going to risk that again and are going to get out.
Obviously everyone was waiting until we got to 40pts mark - with next years TV money guaranteed. | | | |

I'm undecided if its a good or bad thing for the club at moment, but I am swaying toward good. Not all U.S investors are Petty. Though I can understand it being kept quiet if there were delicate negotiations taking place. This is consistent with all business deals no matter what the business or who are involved. | | | |

Venture Capitalists make their returns through gearing up assets of a business with debt.
Let's see what is proposed - new issue of shares to buy stadium for example - can't se how Trust's shareholding would then remain at 21%. | | | |

I'm struggling to understand at the moment how we can decide whether it is good or bad
We simply dont have enough information to decide | | | |

Have you asked why the Trust and its Director on the Board were not kept informed earlier of the talks?
We're meetings taking place without him? If so why?
Strange. | |

Yes we have and we have been told its because we said last time we didnt want to sell
You are right it is strange but at least we are not alone in that company | | | |

Agree
But investors want returns on their money, only when the detail comes out will a opinion be able to be made.
The one thing I can only comment on as I've only just got back and not read other threads yet is that only certain board members were involved in this from the start. Now if it falls through how will the board be able to go forward as a settled unit | | | |

Mmmmmmm. Not good. I would be rather livid if I were you. Morally unacceptable isn't it but what of the legal position I wonder. Can talks take place without shareholders knowing? | |

Honestly? Yes of course they can.
If you owned shares in a company you could sell them without informing every other shareholder as they are your property
It is slightly different here because no sale can be concluded without us at least being given an option to buy anyway as that is what the shareholders agreement dictates | | | |

A clear breakdown of communication and transparency between shareholders with regards to this deal being negotiated is quite alarming really.
Unsettling all round and the late consultation/involvement with the Trust only serves to exacerbate the uncertain situation.
Clarity and transparency is required above all else before we go any further. | |

So has the agreement been broken? or does a previous offer null and void it? | | | |

No the agreement hasnt been broken. Shares have to be offered before being sold. No shares have been sold.
Could easily say that is splitting hairs but that is the basis of it really | | | |

Ok ...good luck anyway
But a Company with a turnover of what £100m? doesn't need to inform a major shareholder of a possible or potential sale? | |

I can't believe that a poentialfor a majority sale wouldn't have to be on the Board agenda. What do the articles say?
ps just to say I know ferk all about company law for private companies so the questions aren't loaded. |  |

Shut up!
Trust the people who run the club.
They are sitting on a fortune tonight with todays win.
To expect the board to turn their noses up at making a fortune is ridiculous.
Good luck to all concerned. |  |

Am I the only one that finds it staggering that the current directors won't make the Trusts shareholding up to 25% between them myself? |  |

I heard two weeks ago that allegedly MM was in mumbles pissed up going on about he was going to sell his shares and get as much money out of the club as soon as possible. How true this is I don't know, just what I heard!
To be honest I dismissed it till tonight!!!! |  | | |
