Louis Castro said in March at the shareholder event he would buy shares in AST - he has not, he never even subscribed for stock in the placing - this is poor form indeed.
I am a strong believer that the BOD of any AIM listed company should have a meaningful level of stock as it demonstrates commitment.
Recent developments are interesting but I hope JB does not go into a shell and not communicate - he lives in the US which is not really ideal. Anyone that attended the shareholder event could not ignore his enthusiasm for AST's asset in Slovenia but he also pointed out the significant potential of Croatia.
Worth noting, at the same meeting, he informed that he had ability in dealing with 'difficult' processes (e.g. like getting permitting) I would not rule out some movement in this regard - has he been working in the background on this?
In conclusion we are entering a new era for AST but shareholders demand regular updates and long silence periods is not acceptable - maybe time for another shareholder event !
