those directors have now waived/surrendered their rights to all share options awarded to them on 1 May 202
it looks to me like, the request by Aminex for further financial support if long-stop extension needed, didn't come without its cost, so maybe it was a demand by ARA for the share options awarded on 1 May had to be waived/surrendered. which very well could had lead to the resignation's of John and Linda ???

"At the Company's request, ARA has agreed in principle to provide additional funding support to the Company if the Farm-Out is delayed further by advancing part of the interim period costs (which are otherwise only payable to the Company on completion of the Farm-Out), if required (the "Further Additional Advance")
"To preserve cash, some directors of the Company gave up cash remuneration and were awarded share options in lieu on 1 May 2020. Given the current economic climate, the global pandemic and depressed markets, those directors have now waived/surrendered their rights to all share options awarded to them on 1 May 2020. Furthermore, all previous share option plans of the Company have either expired or been terminated by the Board."
"The Company is exercising very tight control over costs and expects the interim period costs payable to the Company in six equal monthly instalments, starting on completion of the Farm-Out (or by way of the Further Additional Advance, if any), will fund the Company until around May 2021."
