You’re mixing two very different things together.
Indigo taking a 9.59% stake doesn’t “mean a CLN is coming”, it means they’ve positioned themselves in case PREM chooses a structured route. That’s what sophisticated investors do — they get a seat at the table before any funding event, not after it.
And on the “all CLNs are devastating” point — that’s simply not true.
The only CLNs that blow companies up are the toxic, variable‑price, daily‑conversion types used by bucket‑shop lenders. Indigo doesn’t use those. They run fixed or semi‑fixed structures because they have a reputation and capital base to protect.
A toxic CLN would destroy their own 9.59% equity position.
It makes no sense.
A well‑structured CLN can actually be less dilutive than a placing at the bottom, because it gives the company cash now and delays dilution until the business is in a stronger position. That’s why boards prefer them when the share price is on the floor.
So no — Indigo’s involvement doesn’t automatically mean a CLN, and even if PREM did go down that route, it wouldn’t be the “death spiral” type people like to shout about. The facts simply don’t support that narrative.
