Option 1: Sell your shares before it delists on Apr 12th. At least you have the cash to invest elsewhere.
Option 2: RSI will set up a trading facility where you can choose to buy/sell the shares for another year after delisting. The market will be less liquid and there is no guarantee the price will be any higher than today. On the plus side the company should be cash flow positive by early next year and in a position to command a better valuation.
Option 3: Stick your share cert in the bottom drawer. Fox Davies placed a 13p per share valuation on this company in September. RSI is expected to grow revenues in the coming years and current problems are due to cash flow over the short term otherwise the company should be OK. The problem is, when do you get your money back? 5, 10, 20 years?
At any stage a potential bidder could make an offer. Up until recently Peter O’Reilly was unprepared to raise funds at 3p per share so an acceptable offer may have to be higher than this. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any buyers at this price. It really comes down to whether you trust the management to a) grow the business and b) return value to the shareholders by selling or relisting the company sometime in the future.
One crumb of comfort is that our interests would appear to be reasonably well aligned to the interests of two of the major shareholders. As hedge funds/asset managers, they will be just as keen as we are to realise the value of their investment.
