Interesting TarthD. Looks like they are capable of making huge fines - certainly large enough to hurt our shorter. A big issue will be how speedy their actions are. It would be great (but probably unlikely) if their decision was made public before PMO's final Court hearing to approve the scheme of arrangement.
RE: PMO Scottish court case kicks off tomorrow for the refinancing plans15 Jan 2020 10:22
How is it that the court case is going to start before the creditor's meeting? I thought the court had to ratify the scheme of arrangement after it had been approved by creditors and shareholders meetings.
As part of yesterday's announcement it was stated that the BP acquisitions would be backdated to 1/1/19. Presumably this means that their results for the year just ended will be incorporated into the accounts due to be published on 5/3/20. However the purchase is not due to be completed until late March at the earliest. Surely they cannot incorporate them until the deal is completed. Thoughts please?
Hi NSTA and jaffa Are you saying that there a call option or equivalent that cancels out the short? If so does this mean that ARCM do not have to buy back the shares they have shorted on the open market?
Over 7% increase in SP yesterday combined with over 15,000,000 shares traded (biggest turnover this month). Could this be the beginning of a welcome squeeze on ARCM?
Hi Fibo I am not good at this but to be short would they not have to had bought put options? Not saying you are wrong but would like to know your reasoning.
