Equiniti will decide when to sell there shares which is an absolute disgrace.
Very reminiscent of the great ''colleague shares'' con... when profits mysteriously plummeted in the year we were due to receive a payout for them... only for profits to fully recover again the following financial year.

Hey if you think that. Sell your shares next yr.
