I wonder if they will announce new investors in the next round as they happen - like they did last time - or leave it until the book is full. I think they will announce the first investor, as and when, to rubber stamp the price and then, hopefully, not give us a blow by blow account like they did the last time. They got tied in knots with receipt of funds, etc. Just tell us when the first investor is confirmed and then when the fund raising is complete. Reading Monday's statement again, RS suggests on more than one occasion that previous investors and those "in their orbit" will take up the new shares.
I calculated a minimum price of £12.50 on what we know - probably performance related warrants attached but I dont see an issue with that. He is attempting to raise the market cap of the company by issuing no more that 10% of new shares. If he can pull that off it would be one hell of a feat. Personally, I think the signs are he has soft commitments and the funding should be easier this time after proving proof of concept.
