Tony I must admit you are making me laugh this morning.
So based on the RNS's the old BOD have possibly carried out a dodgy deal. As soon as that came to light regardless if the new or old BOD were in charge the shares would have been suspended as there are questions over the financial state of the company due to the potential claim. So you are wrong to assume we wouldn't be suspended if the old BOD were in charge.
The biggest issue we have at the moment is to stop being delisted. With regards the 6 month rule it is possible we could argue that we are suspended due to a new situation so it depends how the regulators look at it. Main issue is not having a NOMAD. Even if we do delist the company will still be trading and will still have £1m+ and the bigsofa loan. Actually getting money back from that type of investment would be a very long affair based on a number of things working in our favour. Admittedly I'm not keen on this as it would tie us in for some time and make it a lot more risky.
If we can deal with the above then we are likely to be suspended for at least another 6 months while the potential claim is dealt with. With the cash in the bank Im still wondering if the claim(TW mentions $4.8m) will go ahead as it would take some time to run through the courts so there would likely be little money left to claim.
Nick has skin in the game with ~8% holding so it is in their interest to recover this. Now is the time to see if they are as good as they say.
