Just thinking, if RF really need the money now but SAR don't need to pay them the £800k back until August 25, maybe they would accept a lower amount (perhaps £500k) right now to settle. Needs must as the devil drives.
We could even offer them £400k, a bird in the hand etc.

If the city and RF and others like them don't offer such favourable terms I am astounded that SAR and companies like them don't go to the PI's first. If they gave us a little of what they signed away to RF they would have been better off and so would the PI's. There would be no need to go to the loansharks. Reminds me of the Bank of Dave. Great story and true. Film of it is very good.
But we don't need a consortium. SAR could do a WRAP with warrants attached that are set at 50p (1 warrant per share).
Yes in effect it would double the shares needed but PI's would benefit as would SAR.
Personally I think a deal like that would be massively oversubscribed
I'm not one who is suggesting any changes to the Board. My is (and has been for more years than I care to remember) that SAR are terrible at communicating to the Shareholders, they are terrible at issuing positive RNS, often scoring own goals with negative coments on what should be hugely positive RNS'.
We are, in respect of RF, dancing with the devil. I firmly believe they had (and have) nefarious intentions and I would like them gone as soon as humanly possible.
With all that said, I still believe and I think we will be in a much better position in a months/ 6months / years time. But that will be despite RF and despite Boards ability to write positive RNS's and despite any effective PR.
And finally we will (IMO) get to the promised land in part, because the PI's have come to the rescue.
I will continue to top up at every opportunity.
COME ON SAR

Balance owed to RF is reduced by the price they get the shares at (10p for this lot), it is irrelevant what they sell them for.
If they sell them all and then the price drops to 7p, however many share they take at 7p will be how much what SAR owe them is reduced by.
It is irrelevant as to whether they sell then at 7p or 70p. It is only the monetary value equivalent for the no. of share issued to them at whatever price they are issued.
We need to pay them off asap in my opinion.
I think we would be beter off paying them in full in cash and having another WRAP.

I hear you Laz, maybe Rf was a better option than the City. However the BoD could have apporached PI's first. The last WRAP proves PI's would have been a better option. Certainly in the first instance anyway. Could have then sought a smaller top fund from city etc if required.
I would take a lot of convincing that RF deal was the best option. Especially as it would appear they were on a mission to destroy the company (which they very nearly did).

Looking aback at the agreement RF knew that if SAR owed over a million and SP was low then agreement meant that RF could not lend anymore money to SAR. If RF were looking at reverse takeover of SAR (like RF have just done to another company) then SAR being unable to draw down anymore funds from RF was exactly what RF would have wanted.
The more I look at it the more it makes me angry. Who the hell recommended the deal to SAR. At the next AGM or Investor meets meeting it will be the first, second and third question I will be asking the board. If it was Peel Hunt then serious questions need to be asked as to whether they were acting in their Client's best interest. James at PH may have some questions to answer.
Thank god us PI's stepped in to save the day. The more I think about it the more I am realising how close we came to the scenario above actually happening. I hope the board realise how close they came to losing the company.
Hopefully all now back on track and SP & SAR will go from strength to strength and that the board have learned a valuable lesson, never to be repeated.
Have agreat weekend everyone.

AAAARGGHHH! The sooner we get rid of RF & PH the better.

PLease can everyone sign this petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/657294
The plus side of SAR buying RF's shares off them is that those shares would be removed from the market. A WRAP for the amount owed would equate to more more shares being issued than what are already out there in RF's sticky little grubby hands. In effect it would be a transfer of shares in one fell swoop from RF to PI's.
Instead of RF selling when they want in an effort to surpress the SP.
