Punter you talk nonsense as your plan is to buy cheap back in and scare people.
They was clear in the last RNS what they will do: creating a Gold backed loan facility what is extentable. They look for it to have a flexible approach till the 40M$ from Pasofino sale is there in November. All time telling lies here.
Based on the LSE City Code - Coris Bank would need to pay at a takeover at least the maximum price they have paid for shares in the last 12 months. Here the relevant text:
An offer made under Rule 9 must, in respect of each class of share capital involved, be in cash or be accompanied by a cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid by the offeror or any person acting in concert with it for any interest in shares of that class during the 12 months prior to the announcement of that offer. The Panel should be consulted where there is more than one class of share capital involved.
Coris Bank bought on 10.01.2024 for 11.26P more than 20M$ in shares. This is the highest price paid past 12 month. This rule will be in place till 11.01.2025. By than we also know how Q4 2024 will look like.
If the bank would take us private - offer is min 11.26P. Also they would need to convince our second largest holder which own around 7.2% of all shares. (2 holdings)
Best practice are a premium on top - so still would see an offer closer to 15P as more realistic scenario..
