Zebra has been here for a long time.
Placings are necessary, people take exception to the unnecessary dilution. PRD have a history of poorly priced and timed raises, anyone here long enough will know that.
PG and Lonny did loan and sell their shares but they are being paid a decent amount of interest to do so. Had they released a prospectus after the first time he did it, they wouldn’t have needed to the last two times. This way they earn interest on shares that otherwise would have been dead money unless they sold.
It wasn’t a good deal at 11p. It was for £7m minimum. They got £10m and it was still over subscribed, that tells you it was done too cheap.
Finally, the strategy for PRD is to prove up and sell on, hopefully with a special dividend. That amount whether you’re in profit or not will be reduced with the dilution.
