Excellent post @ 00:23, Eric. I would like to add some thoughts and comments to yours, all speculation, of course…
I agree that Borrelli will make out he did a good job, even though we know he really hasn’t. Yes, he should have sorted alternative funding, then we might not have gotten into the mess we find ourselves in. I think the story of re-listing is a way of giving some shareholders hope. Behind the scenes I fear that all is not well and who knows what he’s plotting
Regarding WHI, he knew they were going to resign, and he made attempts to secure another Nomad, however, I believe this was just for show. AIM probably knew of his plans to dispose of the Kabwe asset, and therefore we would not meet AIM’s criteria to remain as a listed company. There is also no chance that his proposal of giving away Kabwe would have been passed by a shareholder vote, and I suspect you are right in saying that the asset giveaway was pre-planned, long before it was even announced.
I believe AIM rules were broken. As soon as JLP started talking about building a larger plant, we should have been informed. He didn’t tell us because he didn’t want his master plan to be put in any danger. Even WHI felt that JLP was taking too much control, one of the many reasons they resigned as Nomad. I had WHI on the phone, and they told me BMR hadn’t even informed them about the letter regarding the licence being at risk, again, lack of communication was another reason they resigned. Of course, They were not squeaky clean themselves, and I’m sure BMR and WHI will argue that one another was at fault, and won’t accept any blame for what has happened.
JLP took a 29.01% stake in the business for good reason. They could have easily taken control of the company if their plan to muscle us out of Kabwe didn’t go smoothly, but Borrelli ensured that it did.
We know the Zambian Government is corrupt and payments to Blue Square are part of that corruption, good luck proving that though.
JLP shares have been sold to fund the last payment to BS. Why wasn’t this paid in monthly instalments, as per the RNS announcement? What’s happened to all the cash we got from the legal settlement? Time to call an EGM and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes??
