HLS Delists

Blue Horseshoe | 24.11.2009 12:09 | Animal Liberation

Huntigdon Life Sciences has been bought by it's former major shareholder and is no longer listed on the stockmarket.

Andrew Baker has completed the £30million buyout of HLS, removing it from the stockmarket where it had fared badly due to repeated and sustaind targeting by Animal Rights activists.

HLS now trades as a private company and is no longer reliant on stockholder confidence.

Great news?

Sounds exciting but I was involved wth Shac for about 5 years and they were constantly saying they were in a terrible financial position and always giving stories like this as the sign they would close soon, yet they never did. Anyone here from an economics background who can shed some light?

Funders of animal abuse lose money

24.11.2009 13:11

So the many investors who bought at prices above $8.50 (some even bought at over $30!) have lost LOTS of money. That makes me smile. Oce again proven if you invest i animal abuse you lose money.

I bet Baker is laughing at those who invested at higher prices, he only sold the company so him and Cass would get their bonus this year. Baker wasn't going to get a bonus as he hadn't got HLS performing as well as it should so he changed the rules to give him and Cass a bonus if they sold the company. He stitched those investors up. I won't shed a tear for any investor in animal abuse who loses money.
