    Yes, its quite likely a number of people will decide to sell once they receive their bonus shares.. in which case the share price will probably go down - at least temporarily.. as there will be more sellers than buyers..


    May not though.There is said to be considerable pent up institutional demand for the shares, as the free float is quite small, so the shares mightr be quite readily snapped up and the price remain stable.

    Who knows, there might even be a bit of takeover speculation about at the time, to keep people interested.....;) :)
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    If memory serves me correctly, could someone confirm/clarify please, on July 10th - was it 1 additional bonus share for every 20 held ?

    Will they automatically send another certificate assuming you requested a paper certificate to begin with !?

    Thanks, MM

    Yeah they will send you another share certifcate for the extra shares but thats only if you hold your shares in a certificated shareholding. If you hold your shares in a "nominee" account or you just have a statement for your shares you will probably just receive an updated statement which shows the extra shares have been added.

    Don't worry though I'm sure they will be sending out letters and things nearer the time. :)

    It's a fabulous sign of strength when you see the directors of the company buying shares.

    :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

    By the way, the following has nothing to do with the directors 'taking up their options'!!!!

    The Standard Life directors couldn't do this before the Results were announced because LSE rules forbid it during, what is generally called the 'Closed Period' (for Directors buying shares).

    Yesterday, 22 March 2007, Alexander Maxwell Crombie, (aka 'Sandie Crombie') Group Chief Executive, purchased 30,000 shares at £3.0875 .

    His total holding following notification is now 295,600 shares and his total percentage holding following notification is now 0.01403%

    Gerald Edgar Grimstone, Deputy Chairman, purchased 37,705 shares at £3.0875, also on 22 March 2007.

    His total holding is now 100,000 shares or 0.00475%

    Do you not think these may be the exercise of share options i.e. freeby profits?

    He now has a total holding of 31,862 shares or 0.00151%
