"How could he and the rest of the board get away with withholding price sensitive information. If they know something they have to say now or else they are all in breach of the regulations",
you mean like 1 month before year end results in 2004 when PL said if there was any change an announcement would have to be made and then one day before results it was announced that the deal had not been completed !
Or are our memories getting shorter.
Without a doubt this lot are playing games with the shareholders and abusing their position.
