I kind of disagree. They paid £2.0M and will in due course receive an asset of indeterminate value. They paid an additional £2.0M and received 10,000,000 shares in AFC. In addition to this, they receive a discount on units that they ultimately buy from AFC, but there is no binding purchase requirement.
Compare and contrast this with the contractual requirement, which was a payment of £4.0 payable in stages culminating on the delivery of the finished article. So what they actually have is 10,000,000 shares in the company for free, plus of course the discount on the maybe deliverable units.
I am struggling to see how this can be spun up as some kind of victory, and it makes me wonder why these concessions needed to be made.
