Re: So long and thanks for all the chips... White LadderDon't worry payment should be made on or around 19th Sept, you should not be charged any dealing fees plus you will get the 3.78p dividend (extract from info from my broker below).H2In addition, ARM shareholders as of the Ex-entitlement Date, 1st September 2016, will be entitled to receive an interim dividend of 3.78 pence per ARM share payable on or after 12th September 2016.The Scheme proceeds of GBP17.00 per share are expected to be credited to your account on or after 19th September 2016.

So long and thanks for all the chips A sad outcome, but can't really complain. Only wish I hadn't sold portions along the way!

Re: Reinvestment of cash survived2crashes,Re HLMA, great minds etc. 1st bought HLMA 2 years ago topped up 3 times since last on Nov 2015. I agree with you as my best investment in the last 3 or 4 years. One of my larger shareholding at 4% of total share portfolio.. I like the way SP growth has been consistently over last 8 years. Dividend growth similarly consistent. If anything SP growth has accelerated this year. May well top up again.Incidentally my best performing share purchased this year is Dairy Crest Group (DCG), though longer term probably will not match HLMA. FCS is my 2nd best share bought bought 3.5 years ago. As an investment trust in global smaller companies gives balance to a FTSE 350 centred share portfolio. May top up FCS.

Re: Too little, too late!! "let's hope ARM continue to have a long life here too."You can hope, but ARM will be dead in the water, the moment it dawns that Softbank's $116Bn debt drags it and everything else into the mire.Games -- It's as close to game over as you are ever going to get.

Re: Too little, too late!! It's often said (wrongly) that we don't make anything in this country anymore.One of the things we do create is outstanding intellectual property and technolgy companies to commercialise it, that we then sell to the rest of the world.Sale of ARM reminds me of the sale of Cambridge Display Technologies to Sumitomo in 2007 and the OLED screen technology invented here that is steadily being incorporated into devices around the world. Of course CDT is still here in the UK employing, inventing traingin and educating the next group of engineers and scientists who will hopefully go off and do somwthign brllliant - let's hope ARM continue to have a long life here too.QL

Re: Reinvestment of cash RhigosNice problem to have, a thought only, I recently bought a few OXIG as a growth/recovery play. Operate in 3 segments Nanotechnology tools, industrial products and Services (mainly CT & MRI scanners). They have been through a bad patch with profits warnings in 2014, SP dropped around 70% but now showing signs of fixing the issues, cut cost and returning to growth, forecast EPS +7% and 10% 16/17. As sales mainly overseas, drop in GBP should help. SP looks like it is out of the downtrend.H2

Reinvestment of cash ARM now by highest value share holding worth nearly 7.3% of my total share portfolio of 36 blocks of shares, with a significantly value, I currently hold. I will need to find 2 to 4 new UK companies or investment trusts to buy. I am guessing others are wondering what to invest in next as well. Do not want recommendations so much as few ideas. Perhaps what sectors they currently favour. High yielding or high growth etc. Recently bought a small holding of 3i Group (III) which I will probably add to. At least my ARM shares in an ISA so no CGT worries.

Re: The money 19 Sep or thereabouts. 14 days after effective date of 5 September. My shares are in a nominee ISA account, so no doubt I will have to wait a bit longer.
