Why shares rather than the cash?12 Dec 2024 10:53
So the 3rd party company took circa 15,000,000 shares rather than the cash equivalent first agreed in the contract. So if my maths is correct (and please point out if Ive ballsed this up..) that's around £150,000.
So the question is, are we cash strapped that we negotiated the shares in lieu of cash OR could the 3rd party see the upside and happy to take a gamble on a small amount. Either it's a negative, we were happy to dilute as we don't have the cash OR it's a positive, the 3rd party knew the upside and wanted to take the shares.
We have to think about what the forces were that led to this decision. Views?
