EFP Data

If you were previously an Equity for Punks (EFP) investor in BrewDog, you may well be aware of recent developments.

There are a couple of reasons why, but they all centre around the former CEO of BrewDog.

James Watt has decided to launch another beer company – Second Best Beer.

Initially, Watt launched his opening gambit via social media, which garnered a rumoured 9% response rate from out-of-pocket EFP shareholders.

So how else could you contact previous investors?

It appears that somehow Second Best Beer has managed to acquire the contact details of EFP shareholders. How is this possible?

BrewDog and EFP data

BrewDog have confirmed that they are concerned, and said in an email:

"To confirm, BrewDog has not authorised the use of investment data... We are diligently investigating how the information was obtained."

ComputerShare

Now, there will be a number of people who want to support James Watt and Second Best Beer. You only have to look at his LinkedIn post with over 100 comments, the majority being eager to support.

These people will say that EFP shareholders' data is publicly available from the registrar, ComputerShare.

It wasn't.

ComputerShare have confirmed that contact data for EFPs wasn't available to the public.

Sending from your own account means the request comes from you, the data subject, which is the strongest position to be in. A request from a third party can be challenged on grounds of authority; one from you cannot. Keep a copy of the sent email and note the date, as the response deadline runs from the day they receive it.
