RE: Likely Buyout Date and SP?4 Apr 2021 18:48
16.48 - I think I covered this in 16.22....Do some research and have a look at the company structure...The prospects are held in subsidiaries...these are like little sub-companies and hold the assets. Think of a 'picnic basket', thats 88E as you probably think of it, thats the headline Top-Co, its where the Board sit, its the entity that issues the capital etc. In your picnic basket you have sandwiches, cakes, fruit salad and drinks. You don't just throw them into the basket all together, you put them in containers (especially the drinks!) that segregate them...those are your subsidiaries. If someone came along having forgotten their picnic basket they might offer to buy yours which you might do (by agreeing a price and giving them the entire basket and all its contents) but you not want to sell all of it as you may want to keep certain items for yourself...however you might be willing to sell just the fruit salad, which you could easily do by agreeing a price and passing them the container with the fruit salad in it....
You getting the picture?
