That is most interesting. Maybe Skeleton think that the judge will award damages so high it will bankrupt them? Well then a very Happy Christmas to everyone including my great grandchildren, my great great grandchildren my great great great grandchildren, none of which I have yet, but you get my point. No of course I don't think it either, but if Carlsberg did Patent infringement cases........
OPENSPACES - I do not agree in any way that Share Option schemes are clandestine operations. Every company I have been involved with, and they happen to be large or very large companies, have had such schemes. The one operated at CAP-XX is clearly covered in the Annual Report and has been approved at AGMs, it is totally transparent and easy to understand. The benefits to the shareholders are that the employees are incentivised to help ensure the sp grows and has far more impact than paying only cash. Funny you believe negativity someone has posted on the AFC board but not clear facts and truths available to everyone, if you bothered to read them. Really 0/10 for effort, you need to try much harder.
You prefer to pay and use incentivise using cash only, then have a placing? Didn't think you liked placings. Or pay our small team less money so they go elsewhere? Don't just complain about everything, tell us all what would you do instead.
OS Share options incentivise employees, motivate them and helps retain them. If you can see the sp rise on the back of your harder smarter work then you will work even harder and smarter. And lets be honest it they didn't provide Share Options you would be moaning about that and asking why not.
I thought that was why we were all here, well the big majority of us at least, to make a profit. I think you can only call that once shares have been sold. PC01 bought shares, the price wouldn't be where it is if PC01 didn't buy his shares, he can sell them whenever without criticism.
Tesla aim to produce 20mm vehicles pet year by 2030. Put only £50 of supercaps in each at even 5% licence is £50mm profit for the licence holder. That would add over £1 to the sp if the license holder was cpx. Why might tesla be important? And where they go others will have to follow. All speculation.
An incredibly rich hypothetical CEO sits in an office in Palo Alto musing over whether Cold Fusion is really that easy to make in a teacup when his neural AI legal bot reminds him to opine on a pressing matter. Some of the components they use may be relying on IP patented by others, at least there is a case raised. Should they 1. Buy in these products from the IP holder at $1billion per year. 2. Pay for a license to make them at $100million per year. 3. Risk a legal judgement maybe costing say $500million-$5billion one off and then bear the ongoing costs in 1 or 2 above or 4 Buy that company for say a mere $250million (57p per share). 5 Fight the case as the claims are defendable although the claimant has never lost on this IP battle to date. They are using 20 million units annum as their production target and cost per unit of these products at $50. What would you do?
Rumour was that AK rejected 18p in 2018. CPX are in a much stronger position now so it would need to multiples of 12 IMO. My calculations show the sp should be heading from 11p->24p and beyond as this financial year runs it course on what we know already. Anything else, including new deals would be a bonus to that and that includes anything from Maxwell of course.
