RE: Scaring for a better entry knowing confirmation due in few weeks2 May 2025 11:05
OSD,
It could be nothing. However RNS's, particularly periodical reports, are like prospectuses to advertise the company to the outside world. Wording is usually done very carefully which is why it surprised me. To be honest, 6 months ago I would have welcomed them saying that they were open to discussion with others, it would have been a sign that we weren't willing to be pushed around.
It just seems a bit late now, unless they know something else. We are not negotiating from a position of strength because we don't have much money in the pot. The COMP positive opinion is a massive endorsement but it doesn't change that. However, having competing suitors bidding for a deal would.
My own hope is that final ratification is the catalyst that will generate a good market reaction and hopefully result in a deal that will benefit all.
We shall see.
