Ann: Update - Notification of buy-back - WHC, page-18

This is why I've just held off on buying back in with the dividend payment. It just seems like an ideal opportunity for people to try and shake out a few weak hands prior to the off-market BB when there is now comparatively less demand for WHC shares. It could be an interesting couple of weeks since we've really only shot up in the last couple of days due to the gas pipe line attack in Europe so I can see the possbility for WHC to drift a touch in the near term.

I can also understand Lukes point being a possibility but Im not sure if buying 3 weeks prior to the upcoming off-market BB is any more significant than buying 6-8 weeks out (within the scope of the now finished on-market BB) as pretty much every man and his dog knows that the off-market BB is going to be agree to at the AGM.
