Rights Issue27 Sep 2022 09:18
So after a quick read.
It would seem that overseas investors will not be able to take up the offer. WTF (aren't JM and his cohorts overseas investors.....that includes JG who is now registered in the UK ?).
Following the issue, Mellon and cohorts will own nigh on 60% of the company and a whitewash waver will be applied for. Meaning they do not have to make an offer for the company. Also if shareholders don't agree to the rights issue, it wont go ahead and the company will effectively go bankrupt. I don't quite follow this since if they take up their rights, wont they own nearly the same % of the company given its 1 for 1 (I'm obviously missing something important here)
The rights issue will be closed out at the end of DEC 2022 or beginning of Jan 2023 meaning there is no foreseeable income from any agreements before next year What has happened to the possible US agreement.? It would now seem this will not happen till next year and not on the commencement of phase III.
The issue is based on a closing price of 0.1 HKD, yet, interestingly a few weeks ago it was a lot higher. certainly appears to be the same procedure as the DLI debacle when the SP was driven down and the purchase agreed at 0.7HKD. Then before any announcements were made the price suddenly went up 100% !!! Also note that at the same time they made the announcement of the EU OTC approval (are we going to soon see an announcement of the Manufacturer approval and a price increase given it is due now ???
This certainly makes no sense "The Rights Issue would result in a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule
7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately 13.89% to the existing Shareholders if they elect not to participate in the Rights Issue" As far as I can see......2,400,347,881 + 2,468,728,881 = 4,869,077,762 =>>> a dilution of 50.7%
(then again I didn't read rule 7.27B which is probably to a different base number....lol)
