Yes, Valereum will take back all those shares if QGP don't make the first payment.
Not only that Valereum will get the full $280m because it's underwritten by Lloyds of London.
Is statement true with regards to vlrm.pl on the aquis exchange?

Here’s what can be fact-checked based on the available public information regarding your statement about Valereum Plc and the QGP deal:
✅ What the RNS actually says
Valereum entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Quorium Global Photonics SPC (“QGP”) under which QGP will subscribe for shares and provide Valereum with $200 million of medium-term notes (QMTNs). This capital delivers immediate recurring income, not immediate cash payment of $200m in spendable cash.
The deal also includes access in principle to up to $1 billion of future capital, subject to further agreement and conditions.
QGP’s assets backing these notes are described as asset-backed and insured/underwritten by Lloyd’s of London via international rating agencies in earlier deal documentation.
❌ What the RNS does not say
• The official RNS does not say that Valereum gets the full $200m upfront in cash upon signing. Instead, what is provided is a medium term note (MTN) that has a face value of $200m and generates coupon (interest) payments — the first payment is an income stream.
• There is no mention in the RNS that if QGP fail to make the first payment, Valereum automatically takes back all the subscription shares. The agreement does not publicly disclose specific default provisions in that form.
• There’s no public documentation from Valereum that expressly guarantees Valereum will receive $280m in full if QGP defaults. The $280m figure seems to be a summation used in market chat (e.g., $200m note + ~5 years of coupons) rather than a settled contractual payout guarantee.
🧠 Key nuance on “underwritten”
The term “underwritten by Lloyd’s” in the context of this deal comes from secondary market talk (share chat commentary), not from the formal RNS itself. Technical underwriting in finance typically means insurance/capital protection instruments—but that does not necessarily mean a contractual guarantee that Valereum gets $280m if QGP fails to pay. It can mean the assets backing the notes are insured or supported in some way.
📌 Putting it together
Your original statement was effectively:
Valereum will take back all those shares if QGP don’t make the first payment; and Valereum will get the full $280m because it’s underwritten by Lloyds of London.
Based on publicly disclosed RNSs:
❌ There’s no confirmed contractual provision in the RNS saying Valereum will automatically take all shares back if QGP fails to make a payment.
❌ The RNS doesn’t say Valereum is guaranteed to receive the entire $280m value. It’s structured as notes generating income, with return of principal at maturity — subject to terms of the note/insurance — which are not fully detailed in the p
