What wouldn’t be a bad idea should AML want a further top-up of money, plus a safeguard from another lockdown(if there’s any such thing).
Say they issued warrants/options at 20p payable now, another 30p payable when the sp hits £1.50p.
It would be good if only existing shareholders could buy them, then hopefully they have some funds now instead of using the facility to borrow at 12%.
Of course if the price ever hits £1.50p then more shares would be issued as we convert the warrants, but at £1.50p would we be complaining?
Just throwing a idea out there to spark reasonable debate.

It appears the extra shares in play have provided more liquidity to the market, this is obvious by the fact the sp seems pretty stable, the mm’s know who to go to for stock so they don’t have to play games like ‘tree shaking’ for stock.
It seems that it’s only ‘real news’ that will get the sp moving up again.

Paul, I wasn’t missing that and no doubt his son will be involved but this is business and Stroll won’t have his son as one of the drivers unless he’s good enough, he may have been deemed as good enough in the past for Racing Point, but AML F1 may have ambitions beyond his talent.
And if Stroll’s boy is good enough, the story is even more compelling.

When you look at Stroll taking over AML it’s a compelling story, he is already super wealthy and his hobby is motor racing, and he already runs his own team ‘Racing Point’.
As the ‘Braun’ ad you to say ‘i liked it so much, I bought the company’.
So he buys AML who become Racing Points main sponsor, in fact there is a deal in place for AML to buy a major stake in what will be AML F1.
So his day job is AML, which funds his hobby F1.
I got taught years ago to align work with something you are passionate about and you won’t go far wrong.
So ok we could say AML funds his hobby and it does, but it only funds it if it’s successful and although Stroll is alleged to be worth 2.4bn that would not fund his ambitions in Formula 1.
It’s perfect for him, but also for us, the better AML does then no one will be complaining when he invests further in F1, and the better the AML F1 performs promotes brand AML.

I know a little bit about going private as I know the people who own Matalan(just know them not privy to any info),
Matalan felt the sp undervalued the co so made a offer to the shareholders at a premium above the sp, consequently everyone was happy.
If they wanted to take it private I would be surprised as they can make fortunes on the stock exchange, as shares can trade on p/e years into the future.

Noah,

In the current climate anything is a possibility, but I think anything that’s done by Stroll/Yew Tree has to be done with tlc, not that they may care about us but they are shareholders as well.
When brand building or re-brand building they won’t want to do anything iffy’ which detracts from the marque, any bad publicity reflects on what they’re projecting to be which is a high class operator of style.

Yeah, but it’s normally at a premium to the share price and needs acceptance of 29.9% of the shareholders, it’s often done to release the value in the company.
It wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen!

I’m not desperate at all.
That’s the rumour and you could make a good case for going private, however I reckon we could see it going a lot higher given a year or two.
With regards to you asking me if my broker told me about the cash call, obviously not but it was very predictable, seeing the company was struggling even before the pandemic came along.

My broker from a well heeled firm said word going round the market is that they are considering taking the company ‘PRIVATE’ and the price is rumoured to be at a premium to the current share price of between 25/30%, 75-80p.
I’d have that and the shorters would be locked in.

I quite like the boards but you have to treat them lightly, a lot of bragging go’s on, excitement when the price is going up and conspiracy theories galore when the price falls.
It’s the snobbery I hate, a lady came on the other day asking a couple of questions and got lambasted for her lack of knowledge, it should be about helping each other but also accepting posters have different agendas for being on, if your long your going to be optimistic, if your short pessimistic.
I have and will never short a share, lack of knowledge and couldn’t afford the pain, it’s just different perceptives.
I try and look at the simple things, Stroll has invested his own money, asked friends to join him and has enough pulling power to get Tito Wolff of Mercedes to take a 1% stake in AML.
There is a powerful turnaround coming together here, the elephant in the room is the possibility of a further lockdown, but without the lockdown/pandemic the opportunity to buy shares at these levels may not exist.
Saying that a share is rarely cheap or expensive, it’s worth the price it is today, the hope value is ours to assess.

And if you keep Aston Martins long enough they start appreciating in value, Stroll has already said they are going to reduce production on some cars to enhance their residual values, it’s the ‘law of supply & demand‘.

Just averaged right 11,000,250,250 which is fine if they go up now, can’t complain about the placing now as they’ve dipped slightly below the 50p mark.

I just intend to buy more shares for when the rise comes.

The statement said Stroll’s investment vehicle acted as a syndicate in the placing, so he was just sharing them out with the syndicate, his co-investors are happy to continue supporting the turnaround, I take that as a good sign.

Just for clarity YEW Tree is Stroll’s investment vehicle.

Just showing how Yew Tree subscribed for the shares as a syndicate and then distributed them.

Mines not, I bought some Vir Biotechnology(NSQ) a few days ago so I’m a bit frustrated waiting for America to open, if they open up strong I’m going to sell and buy more AML if they stay at these levels.

The announcement said the shares could be traded from on or before June 30 at 8am

Whiteghost you are a visionary

Invested £40m in AML even though he works for Mercedes, he said the DBX is a game changer, he will have pored over every centimetre of this car before investing his money.
That’s endorsement enough for me.
