    It's not been mentioned here so I'm assuming they don't pay dividends, but maybe they will do at some point.

    The early rounds of offerings(2010) 1 share was £230  but with the share splits they are I think 500 shares now  so 46p each.

    I believe the  free stuff used to be better as well.

    There is a sell us the shares site  you won't be happy with their price for 4 shares.

    I saw this advert for HL earlier. Maybe it's worth registering to get alerts, it might come sooner than you think

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I had a quick read around a couple of articles think
    The current EFP price is  on the high side at £25.15
    shares have been changing hands around £15
    TSG invested in 2017 and have guarantied return which could impact other shareholders

    I purchased c£250 of these shares as a speculative punt, not because I like their beer but because I think that they could be in a strong position post-pandemic.  They are also very good at marketing themselves and have strong 'green' credentials.  
    I always knew it was an IPO and I could lose some or all of the money but at £250, I'm not concerned but it could end up with a profit.  Either way, it's difficult to understand how you could not be aware that it was a share offering 'with some perks'
  • Hang on, am i reading this right?
    On page 31 of the prospectus it says there will be 73.6 million shares, and they are asking £25 per for each of these new shares.
    Valuing the company at £1.8 billion, or slightly bigger than Wetherspoons.
    This is for a company that has massive cash outflows every year and will doubtless have to raise more equity in the future.
    A mugs game IMO.
