A different perspective12 Jul 2022 21:19
I know people don't have anything good to say about the POG board but maybe they didn't have much choice. It looks like they had two offers but both offers reading between the lines leave the shareholders with nothing.
The plus side of getting a court order to go into administration is "there is an automatic moratorium which means that it is not possible for a creditor to bring or pursue legal proceedings against the company or its assets (paragraphs 42, 43 and 44, Schedule B1, IA 1986). ".
Also worth noting that "An administrator is an agent of the company (paragraph 69, Schedule B1, IA 1986) and an officer of the court (paragraph 5, Schedule B1). The administrator has a duty to act in good faith, fairly and honourably, and must also be, and be seen to be, independent and impartial in the management of the company and its property."
Some harsh words words have been said by all and sundry but at the end of the day no one forced anyone to buy into POG , so only person I'd always blame is myself.
Now for the crazy bit - it has been tough today seeing the suspension/administration here and the mauling of the share price on MOEX - I still believe there is still a chance of this coming good.
