Big Bear and this discussion board Hi guys, I’m new on this discussion board as far as making a written contribution. I have however, over the past couple of years, read many of the comments and valued the opinions of many of the contributors. In particular I welcomed the comments of Big Bear, not because he seemed to ramp up the share but because he provided what I felt was a carefully considered review of where R1 were at. So Big Bear if you’re out there, I would appreciate your analysis of where R1 are at the moment…or at least an acknowledgement that you’re still out there! Actually is there anyone still out there at all? Or have you all migrated to the Looney Tunes board? They seek him here, they seek him there etc

Re: Hastings out Bonney in I just hope the next results will trigger a decisive move as I and many others must be heartily fed-up with the whole sorry situation that we are mired in.Expect a rise immediately prior to the next figures but the odds appear heavily stacked against us getting out of this with much to boast about.

Re: Hastings out Bonney in "Our smaller shareholders will have to accept the usual terms, I suspect."========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ====Yep, we'll have to accept what we are given.The Daisy Group deal had Toscafund owning 28.5% and Matthew Riley had 23%...meaning they had over 50% straight away. I believe they initially offered 190p/share but for some reason reduced that to 185p/share for the formal offer (strange).I expect the situation is similar with R1....a few shareholders own a majority of the shares....so they will sit (or have sat) around a table and agree how to carve it up.Some YuMe shareholders could be significant players...if they still have all their shares from the merger. It could mean they would be unwilling to accept less than 360p/share (if there is an offer) because the YuMe merger has based on the hypothetical figure (I believe). Anything less and I think I would be a net loser.....although even at 360p I may have a small loss or a miniscule gain. I guess I should think about averaging down at 220p but I don't have the money or the stomach for it.It would be a shame to see R1 go for a song...especially when things are forecast to improve significantly next year financially.....but I guess Tosca would see now as the perfect time to strike.

Re: Hastings out Bonney in Hi oilovlam,I believe 'Daisy' were taken into private ownership by its founder Matthew Riley, Penta Capital and Tosca, and that Tosca had a stake-holding of shares amounting to 28.5% and the de-listing was at about 16 to 18.5% above the prevailing sp before the offer.I do not know what Tosca paid for its holding but by being in favour of that particular buy-out it presumably knew what it was doing.Our smaller shareholders will have to accept the usual terms, I suspect.

Re: Hastings out Bonney in "Toscafund and Penta Capital took Daisy Group out of public hands for £494m in 2015.I am sure Tosca, as a majority shareholder, will have been consulted and involved in preparations to do similar to R1. "========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Tricky, so you think that plans have been made to take R1 private (possibly in the past, possibly recently) and the change in CEO could be part of that plan....i.e. the takeover is underway. I guess it would be a good time to take R1 private....when they are just on the verge of seeing real profits. If this is a takeover it will be interesting to see how they treat shareholders......what happened in the Daisy takeover......were they fair or did they get it for a snip?

Re: Hastings out Bonney in Tricky, are you suggesting that RTHM is going to be taken over by a low-ball offer from the former YuMe owners?I don't see how Tosca would allow that (unless they were involved in the carve up). Perhaps YuMe stakeholders really are trying to get increased value....after all their 'investment' fell from circa 360p to as low as 160p, and it still hasn't recovered. Perhaps Ted wasn't the man to lead the company into profitability.....he was a deal maker I believe and he did his deal.Although it wouldn't surprise me if YuMe people did make a sneaky offer for the company.....after finding a few skeletons in the cupboard to drive the SP down a bit lower. Question is whether Tosca would let them get away with it (but could they stop them?).

Re: Hastings out Bonney in Some very strong parallels can be observed observed here:Mark Bonney, suddenly being put in charge of R1, sounds remarkably similar history to the situation where Eric Singer, founder of VIEX Capital Advisors, and its recent stake-holding in Quantum, used the same man (Bonney amongst others) allegedly to get more shareholder value out of Quantum.The timing is pretty awful for us re- the sp but what do Yume care if they intend to take out R1 'on the cheap' under the guise of increasing shareholder value?Our days are surely numbered.Perhaps this scenario is why Brian declined to buy Yume (knowing we would be taken over by Yume) as he saw the writing on the wall.Tosca were of course behind the dismissal of both Brian and Ted, not sure what Ted did to get in the way of the ambitions of Yume/Viex but perhaps he was just unwilling to 'play ball'.

Hastings out Bonney in London, England and San Francisco, CA. - 29 May 2018 - RhythmOne plc ("RhythmOne" or the "Company"
today announces that Ted Hastings, who has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since June 2017, has resigned as both Chief Executive Officer and a member of the RhythmOne Board of Directors, to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. The Company is pleased to announce that the RhythmOne Board has appointed Mark Bonney as President, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and an Executive Director of the Board. Initial reaction in the share market not good but an unexpected marked change like this often spooks the market. Will we see how Bonney does on maximising shareholder value.
