RE: Manu17 succinct summing up13 May 2020 13:57
This is from the statement on April 24th ; clearly at that point The Greek was already in discussions with RAB but continued to push the line that all was hunky f****** dory.....
· Project Equity: Tulu Kapi Gold Mines ("TKGM") longstanding partners, KEFI and the Government, are coordinating with the private sector partner ANS Mining Share Company ("ANS Mining") to maintain the planned structure of the public-private partnership, despite the local liquidity strains experienced this year and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To that end:
a. ANS Mining, which is the investment vehicle for a syndicate of leading Ethiopian banking, insurance and investment organisations, has re-affirmed its commitment to the Project following the Government's injection of significant liquidity into the local financial markets during the past two weeks;
b. the Government is now collaborating directly with ANS Mining and its shareholders to reinforce Project momentum. In addition, as an important new development, the Government has now also advised both KEFI and ANS Mining that it will this quarter look to arrange either direct or indirect funding into TKGM from its investment institutions for the required amounts if there is any further delay in investment via ANS Mining;
c. in the event this investment is provided by entities outside of ANS Mining, there will be a proportionate adjustment to the TKGM shareholdings. KEFI's interest in TKGM would remain unaltered; and
d. as a proactive move, the Project partners are updating the shareholder agreement, to account for any specific changes in schedule and budget as a result of COVID-19, providing greater flexibility and to avoid any potential hold up in the overall Project timetable.
