Will NCM mention the 5% tonight20 Jul 2022 22:24
I think they just might for a few reasons , and give the message that at this point the 2 sides have still not reached any agreement, then leave it at just that.
Why?
For 1. They obviously haven’t.
2. They would obviously take the full 30% IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
3. The task of tempering exploration updates for GGP shareholders gets tougher each time.
4. We really don’t know what is going on behind the scenes but you can bet NCM will want to return the bloody nose they got when SD dropped the GGP mid update.
In summary what better way to put pressure on GGP pre funding and at same time create uncertainty to impact the SP. Perfect scenario and timing if you really want the 5% or indeed the lot or even buy out of GGP.
Probably won’t go down with a few here but as most agree NCM are playing down or at best conservative in their updates and general language from early days, it must be for a reason.
