I could easily rattle off half a dozen engineers who�d go tomorrow with a payoff! Especially with a reduction in the amount taken off to go early.
The majority of remaining BTPS are in their mid to late 50s and waiting to go. Benefits built up are safe and BT will be paying in up to 13% to the new scheme for a period. Biggest gain is going to be the reduction in accrual reduction when pension is draw early which currently stands at about 5% a year reduced to 3%. So, again the pension fund will subsidise staff reduction. Not good for the deficit. As an example an engineer leaving at fifty would currently see approx a 25% reduction in pre 2009 pension and 50% in post 2009. Now will be 15% and 30%. They can now also stay in for two years and claim pay and pension.
I retract my last statement! Feeling on the shop floor from BTPS members is majority will vote for it as this is the older guys who will actually be better off. expect a bump in SP as one less thing to draw attention but biggy will be the size of the dedicit when it's announced, which should be soon
Not so fast there POEU! Just been told there are three votes all of which have to be agreed in order for the deal to proceed. One is for BTPS members only. So unless they vote to be screwed it will all fail
I love Bargain Hunt too much to ditch my license....lol but.. ''You only need a TV licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast or use BBC iPlayer � if you only use other catch-up sites, you don't need one.'' So if you don�t have an aerial connected and refrain from watching iplayer you don�t need a license! https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/tv-licence
I think BT needs Netflix or simular on board. This enables the 'hiding' of BB charges same as Sky. Packages are more appealing than just paying for BB. On demand is the future. People want to watch what they want when they want and Without Adverts! What�s also interesting is that you no longer need a TV license unless you are watching BBC Live! Catchup tv doesn�t count even if you watch BBC as long as it�s delayed I think. That�s a �150 quid a year going begging...lol
OOPS Soz got that wrong
after a bad start FTSE now up 1% and we are down 1% ffs
Weird ADR aftermarket went up over 8% and stands at 2.45? Any news we don�t know?
Local branch meetings being organised to persuade members to accept deal. Vote soon after.
Although nothing is certain those who advocate a dividend drop is imminent should read the following and note of the top ten earners BT has the best 'cover' https://www.ajbell.co.uk/news/ftse-100-dividend-cover-remains-thin-2018-yield-tempting
Is ther anybody out there? What�s the charts saying Velly?
Not really, but it�s worth celebrating the end of the ******** on this board and back to some actual telecoms and BT debate.
Nearly right. Day before Brexshit it was 450 with expected return to 480 day after. Instead went into 300's then Italian job sent it to low 300 where it stayed for awhile. Bab,neigh, NO management, ofcom, cpi failure and market sentiment has done the rest.
Why would a takeover bid be of concern? It would still be under Ofcom rule. Only concern I can see is the crown guarantee.
BT has its Divi covered by at least 1.7x which is one of the very best in the FTSE. The only way I see it in danger would be the pension deficit NOT ofcom. The trustees can demand more cash if the fund needs it but ofcom cannot request BT does this to fund investment. Especially when they control pricing and competition, and let�s be honest are responsible for the poor state of the company and its lack of ability or incentive to invest. Next to the Trustees BT's loyalty is to share holders and given the loss most are sitting on the divi is a requirement. Saying that I would be up for a freeze until the sp rose above �3 or even �4
Same boat here guys. In too deep to bail although still in profit as bought at 64p. Don�t need the cash for ten years time anyway and divi is a nice sum to top up my income. Still,like to see this share at a price that truly represents the company value not sentiment
