RE: Existing Shareholders2 Feb 2022 22:28
...the way I'm reading this RNS is that they're placing shares at 20.5p to raise £3.5M ..... i.e. another 17.M+ shares to existing & new ....then separately there will be an open offer for us PI's for a further & additional placing of shares at 20.5p ... either for a pre-determined amount &/or value, at an upper limit or open on the quantity or value depending on the response to it.... .... I do not believe from the RNS that the open offer we will be invited to participate in has got anything to do with with the £3.5M placing as announced for new & existing...... so further dilution to come as a result of the open offer .... on the plus side all this dilution will suppress the benefit the BoD will get as, when, if we get to a point they might consider exercising their options.
I did say yonks ago that a placing could well come before the 20% & wanted us to sell assets instead (preferably EMH for me where the upside is now limited IMO) but there you go..... I also remember cursing that the BoD would get us to 20bn shares in issue pre consolidation & we're getting closer & closer to that now in pre consolidation terms .... still money to be made here just continually, damaged & diluted .... but that trajectory/path hasn't changed for years.
