Nick Bolton’s $580k Pay Day from GPG

November 24, 2009 7:17 am by Dean Morel

nicholas-boltonWhy didn’t Gen Y glamour investor Nick Bolton declare his change in ownership in MMC Contrarian (MMA)? Bolton’s Australian Style Group owned 5.3% back in September and now none of any size.

Are you allowed to not file if you sold into a takeover bid? Or is this another case of Bolton flaunting the law? As it appears he did after buying into MMA at 42.6c and not declaring his ownership in a timely manner. Of course it’s possible that Nick’s simply not good at crossing all the Ts or perhaps he likes to find the boundaries.

Or maybe, just maybe, Bolton’s too busy spending his likely winnings of $579,000 from selling his MMA holding to GPG at $0.50.
