Plus Markets Group

Many shareholders are not happy with the board of Plus Markets Group and their plan to sell Plus-SX to ICAP for £1.

Some shareholders have proposed that Malcolm Basing and Cyril Theret be removed from the board. These motions will be included at the AGM.

A majority of the shareholders voting need to agree to the sale of Plus-SX at the same meeting. It appears that a significant minority of the company’s shares are owned by investors against the deal. They believe that the Recognised Investment Exchange status is worth a lot more than Plus Markets is receiving for the business.

However, if they do vote against the deal there will continue to be a cash outflow from the business which Plus Markets will not be able to cope with for long. That means that a new buyer will need to be found quickly. Gulf Merchant Bank has already expressed interest.
