RE: RNS - Which accounting firm?22 Apr 2026 10:24
"The principal term of this Definitive Agreement is to replace the existing $200 million QMTN2601001 medium term notes ("QMTN") with VGOLD-CORE tokens (underpinned by mining assets) with a valuation of approximately $279.5 million. The VGOLD-CORE tokens are to be released quarterly at $13.975m per quarter over the next five years, and be converted by reference to the LBMA gold price on each release date."
Is the $279.5 million a defined number of VGOLD-CORE tokens (valued at today's gold price), or are the number of VGOLD-CORE tokens adjusted accordingly each quarter to maintain the $13.975m coupon payment?
If it's an agreed, fixed, number of VGOLD-CORE tokens, and gold reverts back to $2000/oz levels which is highly likely over a 5 year period, those $13.975m coupon payments suddenly become $6m.
Surely a multi-billion dollar company in the making wouldn't omit such crucial information from an RNS?
