Ripley, most Brokers sent out documentation yesterday. II did, got mine yesterday morning.
Michael Spencer(Lord Spencer) has an investment vehicle here, IPGL.
He has been invested here for quite sometime. In February 2019 Algy Cluff did a side deal with MS, selling a large chunk of options Algy held. Shortly after Algy Cluff stepped down from CLNR, stating he was retiring, seems to develope vineyards he was establishing in Kent. However within a month of stepping down Algy set up a new Company, Cluff Energy ( Africa) with a partner, Michael Spencer.
In June 2019 the company did a fund raise (Placing) MS was a major funder. Ordinary PI's were denied any participation i n the fund raise. This created a lot of anger, suspect the way this placing has been done does not want the BOD and chiefly CEO to be in the firing line.
The Option Offer now is, imo, just a token gesture to placify ordinary PI's.
Just think about this fund raise. any argument thats funds are required quickly is nonsense, there is adequate cash at bank. That dispells any need for an excelerated raise as was claimed in June 2019.
It is accepted a fund raise now is primarily for future developments as yet unknown, therefore based on equality to all investors would the following have been fair to everyone.
Company wants to raise £17m and is issuing more or less 485million new shares at 3.5p
A Rights Issue could have been arranged through an Underwriter on the basis for every 3 shares now held 1 new share is offered. to ALL existing shareholders.
IMO that is fair to everyone rather than allowing a select band of Investors to get a bigger and bigger slice of the cake.
Those LTH's are seeing the cream we have patiently waiting for being skimmed off . Is that right?
