Promotional language ('thrilled', 'exciting juncture', 'global leader') is used alongside accumulated deficit figures. The financial data is presented transparently but the promotional framing of the ITF deserves monitoring.

RetailBook includes risk disclaimer in company posts — better than BookBuild's practice

POATR era has begun. Joint open letter from AJ Bell, Hargreaves Lansdown, interactive investor, and RetailBook CEOs to Chancellor. RetailBook led the effort (Stacey Parsons).

RetailBook positioning itself as market leader and lobbying for retail-inclusive IPOs alongside major platforms

Advised Mulberry Group on £21.2m fundraising and retail offer via RetailBook platform. Net proceeds to make targeted investments to accelerate future growth and meet medium term financial targets.

Law firm describes purpose as 'accelerate future growth' while the actual RNS disclosed material uncertainty on going concern and £49.7m operating loss. Significant disconnect between LinkedIn framing and regulatory disclosure.

Amazing to see the full launch of Ethiopia's Tulu Kapi gold mine project. Proud to support in advisory role. 164,000 ounces of gold annually. Retail share offer raised £774,245. The numbers align with the vision.

Broker promoting fundraise for company under FCA investigation with £29.7m net debt. Framed as 'strategic reset' with no mention of FCA probe, accounting irregularities, or net debt position. Retail offer of up to £1.5m via BookBuild at 3p/share (14% discount). LinkedIn post URL found but content only partially accessible via web search.

CleanTech Lithium opens retail share offer via BookBuild at 5p/share alongside £4.3m placing. Retail offer oversubscribed, raising £250,000.

Proactive Investors shared article on LinkedIn. The placing price of 5p represented significant dilution from earlier raises at 16p. Company had noteholder forced review. No LinkedIn posts found from CleanTech Lithium's own company page or CEO Aldo Boitano specifically promoting the BookBuild retail offer, though the company page shares operational updates regularly.

Tasty raises £9.25 million via a Placing and Subscription and a further £0.87 million via a Retail Offer. Perivan's shareholder communications team worked with Cavendish Capital Markets on documentation.

Perivan promoted the deal on LinkedIn as a case study. 1,850,000,000 new shares issued at 0.5p represent 935% dilution of existing equity. Retail offer via BookBuild raised £0.87m at same 0.5p price. No risk warnings about extreme dilution. Tasty PLC's own LinkedIn page (1,230 followers) shows no posts about the fundraise -- only restaurant/hospitality content.

Construction is making excellent progress. On track to be the number 1 destination for a first class retail and leisure experience in the whole of the North of England. 4 million visits in year 1.

Earlier promotional post from company page. High engagement (169 reactions). No IPO-specific LinkedIn posts found from Mar-Apr 2026 promoting the RetailBook offer, though the project uses 'private equity returns' language in press coverage. Simon Waterfield (CEO) has LinkedIn profile but no indexed posts about the IPO found.

Describes the IPO as an 'exceptional opportunity for investors' offering 'private equity style returns, usually reserved for professional investors and developers'. Projected 21.75% pa IRR and 2.58x equity multiple.

FINPROM concern: 'Private equity returns' language used in promotion of AQSE-listed shares to retail investors via RetailBook. The projected 21.75% IRR is presented without caveats about construction risk, pre-let conversion risk, or the fact that AQSE Growth Market has lower regulatory standards than AIM or Main Market. Oberon Investments and RetailBook appointed as joint capital raisers. No direct LinkedIn post found but the language permeates all promotional materials that would be shared on the platform.

London's biggest IPO in 2 years. Cobalt Holdings as 'only publicly traded entity offering pure-play exposure to physical cobalt'. Buying 6,000 tons at below-market prices during price trough.

Financial commentator promoting the IPO with promotional language and no risk disclosure. 24 comments indicate high engagement and discussion. No mention that company had sole director structure or that cobalt prices had fallen 75% over 3 years.

Latham is advising on the planned IPO of Cobalt Holdings, a deal that could become London's largest float in nearly two years. Metals investment company looking to raise $230 million and list on LSE's main market.

Cobalt Holdings has made the unexpected decision to cancel its initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange. Company initially sought to raise up to $230 million. Glencore planned to acquire 10% of IPO shares.

Cancellation announcement received zero engagement -- stark contrast to the 191 and 144 reactions on earlier promotional posts. The promotional posts had no risk warnings, and the IPO failed less than 24 hours before admission. Retail investors who applied via RetailBook were exposed to a cancelled deal.

Advised Dekel Agrivision on placing, subscription and retail offer raising £2.5m. Partner Sam Hudson led. Net proceeds to strengthen balance sheet and provide ongoing working capital.

Law firm promoting deal for overleveraged company. 'Strengthen balance sheet' is euphemistic for acute financial distress — the RNS disclosed the company is 'currently overleveraged' with multi-year cash deficits.

Zeus acted as Nomad and Broker in the oversubscribed £2.5m placing, subscription and retail offer for Dekel Agri-Vision. 65 reactions, 7 reposts.

Cathal Friel uses personal LinkedIn to promote clinical developments during fundraise period. While this specific post is about a clinical partnership rather than the fundraise itself, it creates positive sentiment during an active BookBuild retail offer window. No risk warnings. Friel is a serial AIM entrepreneur (Open Orphan/hVIVO, Amryt).

Separately, references to a £3.15m equity placing and a crypto mining venture near its Paradox Basin operations were found. The crypto mining project would give Zephyr a bitcoin-adjacent revenue stream.

LinkedIn post URL: linkedin.com/posts/proactive-investors_zephyr-energy-ceo-on-share-placing-paradox-activity-7343619299841892355. Bitcoin treasury angle not explicitly confirmed in LinkedIn posts but crypto mining venture is documented. Cyber incident adds governance concern.

Savannah Resources' own LinkedIn page and Proactive Investors posted about multiple fundraises: a £9.2m oversubscribed placing and subscription (scaled back from higher demand), a £6.5m fundraise at market price made available to private investors via PrimaryBid (July 2023), a £6.1m placing and subscription, and a further £1m placing to a major shareholder. The retail offer component via PrimaryBid was highlighted as providing retail shareholder access. CEO also discussed Barroso lithium project funding on Proactive.

Proactive post: linkedin.com/posts/proactive-investors_savannah-resources-ceo-outlines-way-forward-activity-7348705237223833601.

Faron Pharmaceuticals' LinkedIn page and Proactive Investors referenced a €7.1m share offering (late October 2024) and a larger February 2025 accelerated bookbuild placing that was 1.8x oversubscribed, raising EUR 12m (upsized from EUR 10m target). 6,976,744 shares issued at EUR 1.72.
