" where are GDR going to get funding to run their company with a cash burn of 400K every month."
The same place most AIM companies get their funding, a placement. But this time they have the RF death spiral noose around their neck and as someone said this week, any company involved in death spiral finance deal never attracts ii's to do a placement deal. Which, if true, means GDR will go bust unless SP breaks 16p and they can continue drawdowns for the duration of the deal with RF AND/OR RF permit GDR to drawdown when SP is under 16p.
And think about this carefully, if you were RiverFort you'd know exactly what the death spiral finance deal could mean for GDR. RF may have even warned GDR during the negotiations about the consequences of death spiral financing. And yet, the deal was struck. RF will make profit, there is not a single shred of evidence to suggest RF finance companies based on emotions, nor that RF will permit drawdowns under 16p. On the contrary, with volumes so low the drawdown may cost RF money. RF have probably been here before. In short, GDR need to maintain an SP of greater than 16p to survive. Devote's 1.2 million award announcement increased the SP by approximately 1.2p, suggesting that GDR need an awful lot of regular and frequent good news to keep the SP above 16p for the duration of the RF deal. This continuous positive news flow is exactly what Mr Budd had expected, he told us so in March 2023. Yet it is exactly what Mr Budd got woefully wrong and he was asked to leave.
Does anyone know what the next pieces of potential good news could be about and when they might be announced? I'd love to know!
