RE: Lookers relisting timeline3 Feb 2021 18:04
@Hartlebury, it is true that the accounts would have been signed by the auditors before the RNS, but companies house still have to process the accounts (they can and do reject them sometimes). It is very very unlikely that they would be rejected by companies house, but still, i would think lse would like to see them on companies house website before saying "yes, you have definitely fulfilled the criteria for listing."
Imagine a scenario where lse had allowed trading to continue on the basis of the accounts on an RNS, but then discover that there was a technical issue with the accounts and they were rejected by companies house. Wouldn't they look silly. That's why I think they want to see accounts on companies house first. Otherwise, why haven't we resumed trading? Immediately means immediately. You can't just stay suspended cos you feel like it.
It could well be the case that there's something else going on that I'm not aware of. Who knows? This is just my reasoning as to why we are still suspended.
I think we'll find that we resume trading within a day or so of the accounts being shown on companies house. If accounts are shown on companies house and we are still suspended a few days later, then I'll have to say there's something else going on.
