So Newmont release an RNS stating it 'exercised its right to convert all of the £150,000 principal amount of loan notes', which would equal another 15m shares. TPJ then released a statement that it plans to redeem the loan notes, then around 2 hrs later released another RNS responding to Newmont, basically saying the cheque has already been sent so you'll get your £150k in cash, not equity. Have I got this right? At the same time TPJ agree to issue equity to pay off the loan notes to Asterion, a total of ~5.1m shares, but Asterion are also buying more, increasing from 22.4m to 24.9m and crossing the 9% threshold. This is not including their extra 5.1m converted loan note (and 5m warrants), which would take them over 12%. The question is, will Newmont and Asterion compete or conspire?
