Technically - 100% correct - all the shares that are going to be issued have been already.

Its the payout of the shares currently held that is causing a small amount of discussion.

Has anyone considered the possibility that the "phantom shares" may be converted into real shares? It would explain the long silence, and it would (to a degree) minimise the cash needed by RMG to pay us the ColleagueShares money that "we are due".

What about those that have joined since the allocations, would that mean they have no CS, so they get no real shares? If they do get shares, what about us that have been in since the first allocation, will we get more shares to reflect our longer loyalty & greater efforts? However you look at it, any share conversion is a f***ing minefield, and a significent amount of the workforce will be losers, and despite their previous form, I can't see the union signing up to split the membership that badly ( again....for a while, at least....I hope :sad: )
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

I got this info as well.
They left the business and so would have received their total share entitlement, ours would be in two payments or half this year and half next year and as is often quoted - "shares can go up and down"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these 2 statements indicate a decent payout ?

If the last official valuation was £1.51/share, and most full-timers have been issued 710 shares, that would explain why the 2010 agreement spoke of two payments of £536

2 x £536 = £1072 (virtually the same as 710 x £1.51, which comes to £1072.10)

If discodevil's info is accurate, the 2011 valuation must have completed (but not yet announced), because the 'couple of lads' have been paid more than the shares were worth at the last officially-declared valuation. If the new valuation hasn't been completed, those guys would have got a payout based solely on the last known valaution, and thus received £1072, surely ??
:hmmmm

So, we should get £722.50 this year, and £722.50 in 2012, surely ?

Only if you value the shares at over £2 each which would mean that the company's value had increased by over 35% in one year.
Possible?...anything is possible.....Likely?...not really. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
