The Everton Board Thread 2014/15

yep, might take a few days but there are shares available

I stand corrected then, I recall reading Bill was buying shares and assumed he didnt stop.

A FTSE company probably trades that many every nano second.

There's 35,000 shares in total, with 25,000 or so held by the board. They're traded on a matched bargain basis. All anyone needs to do is ring Blankstone Sington in Liverpool and they'll usually find you a seller to buy from.

@SerenityNigh Sorry I made an error. Bill acquired his shares in 1999 which gives him a return of over 9% assuming a valuation of £100m

I was assuming £125m; 9.5% (but I rounded it down)

Was trying to remember the broker from a long forgotten search into buying some!

10000 non board shares, less the other larger players, less the (probable) spouse holdings, less fans having a few = not many. In the scheme of share trading that is.

Indeed, but if somebody has the money, it appears as tho they could still buy.

Not sure what im talking about here, but isnt there "limits" to how many shares somebody can own without having to buy them all?

More for @the esk that one, but basically, yes. Once you own a certain amount you have to do something, like declare an intent or something. It is why a lot of major shareholders own like 29.9% of the shares sometimes. Pretty sure thats the case at Arsenal for example. Probably at Everton as well come to think of it.

Correct, once you reach 30% you are obliged to make a cash offer to all other shareholders. The other shareholders are not obliged to accept the offer unless the acquirer acquires 90%, then it becomes mandatory to accept.

And how readily available are the shares?

I mean say I suddenly had a spare 10k, could I buy shares with ease?

Yes is the simple answer.

edit : gah, I'm late to the party again ffs
