28/5 Meeting / Presentation summary29 May 2025 10:36
Apologies - I meant to post this at 7am but had an unexpected family commitment. For those who can't be bothered with a long read, scroll down to the final paragraph.
Attendees -
Richard Edwards, Marcus Yeoman, Sarah Davy, Ronjon Nag
Duncan Vasey (Peterhouse)
Ed Dyson (Orrick H & S)
4 shareholders - myself, Ir77, Adrian Crucefix & ?
As Ir77 has previously commented, Orricks are a big, aggressive law firm. The fact that they are advising will undoubtedly put wind in CapAI's deal making sails.
I won't comment on the Meeting per se because it was brief - and the outcomes were a matter of fact.
What was great was that the BOD genuinely wanted to engage with shareholders. There was none of the lets quickly wrap things up nonsense I've experienced at other similar meetings. When questioned, they confirmed amongst other things (and in no particular order) -
- the loss of capital issue is a non issue and was simply good corporate housekeeping; (NOTE - my take on this is that the recently announced R42 alliance could, very justifiably, be included on the balance sheet as an Intangible Asset at a valuation of say £5m - which would of course make the loss of capital issue a total non issue).
- the company has virtually no costs / overheads, and that they are very relaxed about available cash (the recent exercise of warrants will have covered all cash immediate requirements);
- there will be no 'keep the lights on' equity raise. They were VERY clear on this point, confirming that they as a BOD do not want to suffer dilution;
- they have an ongoing dialogue with warrant holders and, to a degree, are able to influence actions here;
- there are already 4 or 5 live projects in the melting pot and we can expect deal(s) announcement(s) 'in the Summer';
- Stockbox interview already booked (I think it will be out tomorrow).
Ronjon Nag then talked for 30 min and screen showed a real life example of the kind of project CapAI will be (perhaps actually is) considering. This was an AI driven book writing app which basically completely writes a book for you. He requested an example subject matter - and then got started. Within minutes, the words, pages & chapters started to appear and be populated in real time. It's easy to see tens of thousands of people signing up to get this at $19.99 per month - and then, hey presto, that's exactly what the payment page of the beta site he showed us indicated. He confirmed that the only development costs to get this specific project to this stage were a few hours of his spare time.
In summary, I feel totally comfortable with being a substantial shareholder, and have added considerably more this morning. The key question for me is could CapAI realistically attain and then progress from a market cap of £250m (i.e. a SP of +/- £0.07)? There is no doubt in my mind that we will see this during 2025, and possibly by the end of the Summer.
