"Availability of the second facility is subject to the satisfaction of one of a number of milestones being reached by 8 April 2019."
Note the words "reached BY April 8th"
The legal system is a very slow and idle beast. Once the working day is over tomorrow, IMO there will not be an opportunity to make any REAL moves over the weekend as far as I can see. Of course MA is good at running his mouth off, but that's about all.
As of 8th April the second facility becomes the default funding option as far as I can see. For the avoidance of doubt I'll quote the RNS.
"If these milestones are not satisfied, the second facility would be available to the group's subsidiaries only upon transfer of those subsidiaries into the ownership of a lender-approved entity. This outcome would ensure the stability and continuing trading of the group's operating subsidiaries, with no disruption to the group's business, customers, employees, pension holders, suppliers or operations."
"However, it would very likely result in no equity value for the company's current shareholders."
