FT share price - IG agrees to acquire Freetrade 2025

Yeah I wasn’t quite sure where it left off because there was no obvious “you’re done” moment, it just sort of said I had successfully uploaded but then left me on the last page …

I had to drop Crowdcube a mail saying I had done it.

This was Thursday I think. Still waiting.

I got sent the form on Friday. So, presumably the earliest I’ll get my money is after you if you successfully completed that form.

Who is actually legally responsible for paying us? I don’t mean the actual processed payment, but who is legally responsible for giving us our money? Is it the acquiring company? Because Crowdcube has the money and clearly doesn’t give two hoots about distributing it appropriately. Who do we actually pursue for interest and damages? @Luccathedog?

That wasn’t the question. I asked who is legally responsible for getting us our money. If you don’t know the answer, then thank you for not responding again.

I didn’t get any such request.

Got the exact same reply this morning.

Thanks. It’s chaotic. I wrote to Crowdcube asking for clarification, which they tried to brush off. I then pushed back and asked for real answers, and now they’ve escalated it internally. Crowdcube has eight weeks to reply.

You might get it before me, I requested that they deliver my £millions in £10 notes in a briefcase so it might take them a while to count that out.

I think they would as I’ll say Tuesday or Wednesday is cut off for banks anything after is another week. We should complain to ig group also as there the one responsible for making sure crowdcube pay us

Same as me, all I got was a request to upload my bank details.

FT, who instigated the sale, remain at the crux of this until we actually receive due consideration for our shares, whether using a paying agent such as CC or not. So, FT (and its interested new owners) remain in the frame. I’ll leave it there. I have finally received payment overnight and I hope the same for all erstwhile shareholders in what should have been a much more satisfactory outcome.

I think someone already called it, they’ll use the Easter bank holidays as another delaying tactic.

I got paid this morning. So did a few other large holders.

Some others are still waiting.

I assume by the end of the week everyone will have the money.

Got an email from Freetrade, such sweet irony:

What’s your cash doing right now? :money_bag:

Hey Stephen,
Got cash sitting in your account while you wait for the right opportunity?

Well Freetrade, now that you mention it …

Here to join the queue with everyone else who is waiting.
Nothing has been received here so far, the last communication was received on April 9th claiming they have the money and they started processing the payments.
