RE: Announcement21 Aug 2020 19:56
Joey with all due respect you are talking rubbish - please stop, the exiting company structure is in place and all owned by the shareholders here, nothing is going to change that. I think the announcement was positive but lacking in detail. I am not sure we know much more than we did before other than JB has repeated his demand for the two guys to be given the chop - that in itself is not easy, they have rights, especially the CFO who is an executive director - I do think that can be solved by an agreement not to pursue legally and a cheque but I do not know how JB will feel about that. He makes further references to RG’s support in reducing debt but again gives no detail. It is obvious that he is as determined as ever to sort things out and I like the idea of a more international set up. RG now have less than 14% and will be selling down to zero unless something changes so the SP will be determined insatiably by the BoD response although frankly I would not expect that by Monday and following that it will be affected by RB buying up shares from zero to Influence a potential vote, bear in mind also that the ability to call a EGM requires a minimum 5% holding so presumably another aligned RG vehicle would have to start buying although if they did not have 5% at the time of the requisition then the process would start over. To sum up, I would have liked more detail, I would have preferred JB to be able to live, for a while at least with the two remaining directors he is against and for detailed Information on what investment his group were prepared to consider and of course on what terms - what we have are demands without an offer of investment from a shareholder with an axe to grind. At the end of the day JB is going to invest and will not be walking away therefore, the SP should rise in line with him acquiring a considerable stake or investing in another agreed manner.
