True Eric, we were also badly let down where financing was concerned, again, was it all part of the plan? Did JLP’s involvement start long before they even signed the original JV deal? They must have been sniffing around BMR, carrying out due diligence, around the time we were waiting on money from ACI... How convenient was it that ACI never came through with the money??
It’s a shame things ended up as they did, perhaps we shareholders should have took action sooner. If it wasn’t for the licence being revoked it would have kept us in a stronger negotiating position so we could have maintained the 60/40 deal. What annoys me, is the fact that we had to fork out $800k to get the licence back. Borrelli will probably say that it was worth it and the 12.5% is very valuable, but it’s just a drop in the ocean of what we should have got. Anyway, it’s all history now and unfortunately nothing can be done.
By the way, if we got £25m from a sale of the Royalty (I’d hope for more) it would equate to about 7.5p per share which could then be paid to shareholders as a special dividend. I know many here have an average SP far in excess but we are only going to get a fraction of what we should have had, we all have to accept that. The added bonus is that we will also have the same shareholding in the newly listed company. So I’m told anyway!
