$ZYT.L (Zytronic plc) shareholders: Henry Spain, an investment firm who own 19% are attempting to stop the liquidation of the company and turn the entity into a "permanent capital investment vehicle". Apparently they want to be like Berkshire and Markel! This likely means no return of cash to shareholders.
If you are a shareholder please reach out to me. Most importantly vote against their resolutions to appoint directors and vote for the current directors (links below).
This will be tight so every vote is important. Any RTs would be appreciated.
I recently exited my position in Orchard Funding. Most of the returns from my thesis came from buying an ultra cheap security(0.3x BV) and hoping for the market to recognize it in the next 2-3 years(not from buying a company with a great RoE growing at a great rate).
I’ve written up a post on CBB Bancorp($CBBI), an OTC listed bank that trades at 5x current net income(3-4x normalized income) and 45% of Book value. Link in bio.
IG Design Group plc $IGR.L is a net-net trading at roughly ~54% NCAV and ~23% P/BV. Historically profitable, with solid balance sheet.
After the huge 58% drop today I bought shares.
The company just issued a press release with some poor news - their 4th largest customer entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which made them establish $15M provision to offset potential future receivables and inventory losses associated with this customer.
I recently came across a tiny UK company at 0.4 P/BV, with activists on board pushing for liquidation. After a few weeks it's now my single largest position (15% of AUM).
Probable +30% IRR, with downside VERY well protected.
Link's in the bio, as usual.
A new large portfolio position (8% allocation) with 30-70% upside potential over the next 12 months.
It's trading far below its liquidation value, and with activists on board that actually managed to take this thing to liquidate (company sale is also a possibility).
Find it in the usual place.
I have posted a writeup on The Mission Group(AIM: TMG), a turnaround trading at 4x depressed earnings, with a capital allocation plan in place, that should realize value for shareholders. Link in bio.
“When business is booming, people convince themselves that the growth will never stop. And when times get tough, suddenly everyone believes the downturn is here to stay.”
A writeup free for all.

@LionheartInves1 My bad, I looked at it on 7/31 when it was trading at $1.2M, thought it was not cheap enough yet and within 2.5 months it is a double🙃
