Something to ponder20 Sep 2018 14:14
Please correct if I am wrong but
Although I doubt he does want to do it, in the core interview PL talked of the possibility of taking the company private.
My understanding is that to do this he needs 51% support
His holding is out of the equation leaving him requiring 51% of the balance ie 35% with II holding 42%.So almost all II would have to agree.
I'm not sure but would suspect that all things considered PL would by the end of this year have to pay somewhere between 20-30 pence a share (revenue/average of funding rounds)
Pretty sure he isn"t going to do it and I hope he see's no reason to in the future but how often do you invest in a company where the guy running the show owns 30% and has the ability to take it private if he so wishes.
Quite frankly and geo political risk aside people should be biting market makers hands off at 9 pence if they can hold for 2 to 3 years.
beats the bank!
Sadly I am long to the ying yangs and 50% down
