LONDON ACTIVISTS VISIT INVESTORS & CUSTOMERS

Tuesday, 26th May

We met up at Bank at 11:30 and then moved off to our first demo of the day outside the offices of the second largest NYSE shareholder, Legg Mason at 75 King William Street. This is always a good location for giving out flyers to the many passers by. We call upon Legg Mason to use their influence as a part owner of the NYSE, to get NYSE Euronext to de list HLS (LSR).

We then went to NYSE Euronext itself on Cousin Lane to remind them of the seven exposes at HLS and that HLS (LSR) are breaking NYSE's own minimum listing standards. With HLS $72 million in debt and reporting a 25% drop in revenue for the first quarter of 2009, HLS are a financial outlook is uncertain. It time for the NYSE to lose the sinking ship and take HLS off their Arca exchange.

After a short walk along Cannon Street we arrived outside the offices of Vanguard (50 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6JJ) where a campaigner went into the offices to give Vanguard, who are the largest institutional shareholder of HLS (LSR) shares a Mad Science Award, for their shareholding is helping to keep HLS doing Mad Science and killing 500 animals a day. Vanguard became the largest shareholder recently after Barclays sold all their shares in LSR, along with 6 other companies who have all dumped their LSR shares. While a loud and well received demo took place outside their offices. Activists gave out many flyers and chanted at Vanguard, informing passers by of Vanguard's dealings with HLS, animal cruelty and scientific fraud.

After a short break we moved on to AstraZeneca at Stanhope Gate, where again a campaigner hand delivered a Mad Science Award to AstraZeneca, for which the receptionist thanked us. Probably the first award AstraZeneca has had in a while considering they are normally in the news for over charging doctors in the US for their drugs or having another lawsuit slapped on them for causing death and illness with their animal safety tested drugs. AstraZeneca were exposed earlier this year paying for experiments on primates at HLS, where the monkeys were so traumatised that they were chewing their limbs and vomiting feces. Its time to use better, more pure science AstraZeneca and stop funding animal abuse at HLS.

Next stop was TA Associates on the 2nd floor, 25 Knightsbridge, London SW1X 7RZ, who own Numeric Investors who are the fourth largest institutional shareholder of HLS (LSR). Once we started the demo some of the TA Associates office workers came to the windows. Glad you can hear us alright TA Associates, get Numeric Investors to sell their shares or you'll certainly be seeing (and hearing) more of us at this good demo location, with lots of passing traffic and passers by.

We finished on Brompton Road outside the office of Brown Advisory on the 4th Floor, 150 Brompton Road, London SW3 1HX. They have recently bought shares in LSR and are now the second largest shareholder.
