From Floyds court case link : Seems BMN have been wanting to help the SP last year by immediate Enerox listing but prevented.
Mr Otto by email replied to Mr Prince in a little detail concerning the conversation with Mr Greenberg. His reply included the following:

APPROVED JUDGMENT Garnet Commerce Ltd v VRFB Holdings Ltd Mikhail peppered them with questions on routes to go public
immediately and received the following responses
- Enerox does not look ready yet
- Enerox is too small for the US SPAC market right now - Any listing process will take 4-6 months minimum
- Cash shells in Canada / UK will achieve a listing but won't get exposure to the market valuation frenzie that is happening in the US right now, will still take 4-6 months
- You only get one shot at listing; listing in Canada / UK provides a market price, you can't subsequently try to list in the US and achieve a higher valuation
- Listing a portion of Enerox by having a cash shell buy a minority stake in Enerox would be much worse than staying private; locking in a listed market price at a valuation that reflects a company that is not ready to be public
- Even if there is a market correction, a 50% pull back in valuations still implies ridiculously high valuations; don't worry about timing just get the process right
- Market demand will remain strong; energy transition is not going to stop, it's still got years left to accelerate
The broker pitched that a private placement financing should be pursued. They offered to help on the raise, saying they know a number ofpartiesthatwouldbeinterested.Subsequenttocompletingtheprivate placement financing they offered to work with Enerox to see if the story can be evolved to something that would be a better fit for the US SPAC market.
I think Mikhail knows these realities, he's just under tremendous pressure from Fortune to do what Fortune wants (a listing so Fortune's friends can participate and allow him to keep control / gain majority control of the company).
