Steppskillie Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Just received an email from club saying additional shares are being released for purchase. Another way of raising money for club. Seems to be season ticket holders only can buy Edited April 23, 2020 by Steppskillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About half, no? 8 million, only 4 million issued kind of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick11 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Is it definitely season ticket holders only? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Good idea though I can't hear "share issue" and not think "Servco"! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as shares have always been on sale to everyone I can’t imagine they would turn down the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 They should email the existing shareholders to see if they want to increase their holdings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefan97 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think the min number used to be 100 shares so the offer of 50 is possibly why it is only open to season tiket holders. Not sure why limit it though and thought they may have put together a scheme where any shares purchased could be proxy voted to The Trust. Many people are subscribing already monthly to The Trust and adding 50 more to my 100 shares mkes little difference but if collectivly via The Trust will keep increasing their share in the club towards one day fan ownership via The Trust? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Think this is a great idea. Shares is something which is always available as an income stream but I’m not sure the club make enough noise about it. And in some cases under previous employees it was made quite difficult to actually buy them. Hopefully it gets a really positive response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieFC Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 This has had to be dealt with very carefully as the sales of shares in a private company are different to shares in a PLC which are openly traded. Sales of shares are open to anyone, not just season ticket holders, and always have been, so that is not an issue...it just had to be worded like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 The club is operating with a skeleton staff at the moment so I wouldn't expect anything non-essential to be actioned quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why advertise something and not have the resource in place to cope with the increased demand. why do we continually get simple things wrong??? -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I emailed about this time last year to enquire about shares. It took them 3 months to reply and it was just an application form. Safe to say I didn't bother 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same place (email Club), shares are and have been available to anyone at any time for years now...the message to shareholders was just a wee reminder whilst keeping within the rules. It wouldn't be a bad idea for those shareholders who got the communique from the Club to share it with fans who didn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 If there isn't, there should be a downloadable copy of the application form for shares on the club website. Make it easy for people who are interested, instead of having them ask for an application form which may or may not be sent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sounding ageist, some of our elderly fans may find it hard to fill in electronically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
