Cash burn on Director Fees/Salaries/Social Security runs at ~£15k/month, that's £75k spent before any other costs. Odds on that some share sell down has occurred to fund this.
If they do sell some Conduit shares, I hope it is done as part of a wider strategic review. Too many non performing shares in the portfolio, so could look to consolidate down from 15 to 8 or so. Focus should be on early stage investments which has produced the best returns like CODE, ENSI & Conduit itself. Pumping money into cash strapped, already listed and failing companies (TSP & ENET among others come to mind) has proven to be a failed policy.
Set for Tues, £250k investment

Maybe, although there are more shares in issue now than when Vela first invested & probably still more shares to be issued as part of whatever restructure is potentially happening. Going to need a large MC > £50m to reach those dizzy heights once again.
Vela made the decision to spend the last of its funds on this share. Which meant that it had to replenish its low cash reserves to enable paying monthly Director Fees by selling off from its existing portfolio. Let's hope Tribe performs well and Vela ends up in at least the same position it otherwise would have been and not worse off.
The £4m consideration is not cash, Vela will receive shares in Conduit which they can then sell on the open market any time post listing at their discretion. Any funds raised will then need to be converted from $usd to £gbp. The number of shares vela will receive has already been established. The £0.4m non refundable put option has now been paid and bear in mind that £4m is a notional number only.
Hi JB, Vela paid £2.40 for their shares so a potential small uptick in value but no idea when ipo will happen. There has been no news update from Vela in last 2.5 years on this one.
