Thank you Eyeson for the excerpts from the affidavit. I have read through the document now and there are plenty of revelations. Plus also worth noting that document is as least 7 weeks old, so we are pretty ‘behind the curve’ as far as latest developments are concerned. Then there was last week’s cut-off date of 18th December for Hope/OMF to submit their defence and there may be some developments from that but we shall see. In any case, what is plainly clear is that Zaza and SN have been fighting hard against this man for the past 8 months on top of completing 3 oil wells.
What we do know from the papers is that Hope is a low life and morally corrupt. On one hand he does not want to approve a $5m loan from Zaza (talk about Director’s commitment to the company?) for various reasons and on the other, he offers the same/worse terms from his Fund with more restrictions and control (appointing himself as CRO - Chief Risk Officer). However what was really interesting was that both SN and Zaza have provided their personal guarantees secured by their shares in FRR. Remember these two guys own 20% of FRR stock. They have so much more to lose and for that reason alone, they will fight tooth and nail.
All these revelations show that FRR is a prized asset and massivley undervalued by the Market. Again like I said, we are aleast 7 weeks behind the events as that doc is dated 1 November 2018. We may get some news on Monday. But do I think SN & Zaza have made contingent plans in case they have to pay back the money to Hope, definitely, particularly as they given their FRR shares as collateral as well.
Finally, and it’s just my opinion, but I get the feeling that this situation has been engineered by FRR team as a trap for Hope/OMF and it appears that he walked straight in to it. Why do I say that? 1) the legal action has been initiated by FRR (and well planned in advance I believe if you read all the assertions) and 2) Hope’s flagrant abuse of company law for his own gain, supported by documentary evidence.
