"I've had a lot of conversations today and also had a long conversation with Richard Parris. Firstly, he's a great guy and definitely has shareholders' best interests at heart. However, despite my earlier sentiment, there is a big issue and shareholders need to act quickly.
What we are faced with is an RTO which has funding sorted, assets sorted, a clear and easy route to market but, for whatever reason, the regulators are not happy. I'll let you speculate, but basically the deal is being amended to try and get some sort of approval before 20th.
Now the company is still trading, is (or at least was) profitable and has assets. It's definitely not worthless and is not a shell. There's significant value in the listing. If the RTO doesn't look likely and imminent, it is my view that we need to save the listing.
I will be writing to both Richard and the Nomad to express my personal opinion that if an admission document is not approved by regulators by the 20th OR if both the BOD and Nomad are not confident it goes ahead shortly after, we cancel RTO, raise funds and re-list immediately.
Truell won't let this deal die a death in such a manner. Edi in particular is a character who will not want egg on his face imo. If we can save the listing there's still a decent chance the RTO will occur a little further down the line, once all is finally agreed with regulators."
