I think the answer to that is simply money. This is about getting a PFS at the earliest and cheapest route. They dont have funds to explore all routes so they have to take the cheapest to a saleable package even if that package is not the complete picture.
The AIM is littered with micro mkt cap companies that were wound up with a lack of funds, their assets bought back by directors , who form new companies ,from the receivers but crucially without the shareholders who pretty much financed the work up to that point.
In SP and Mkt cap terms EUZ is drifting without a ruder. Has been for ages. Lawrence needs to get a grip on this to A/ reassure shareholders their investment, present r future is safe and B/ He needs to realise that being a grown up company is more than consolidating Shares in Issue.
I would be worried as it stands that any investor thinking of putting in a substantial sum be it the EU or corporate would wonder why they should put say £5m into a £3.5m company rather than just buy out the company.
