RE: Discount to cash is ridiculous19 Jan 2025 15:54
A reminder from last year - Shareholders should be aware that if the Fundraising does not complete by 30 June 2024, the Company's annual report and accounts will not be signed off by the Company's auditors on a going concern basis.
The Firm Placing is not conditional on the Conditional Placing, the Retail Offer, the Directors' Subscription or the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting. As such, the Firm Placing will not be affected by any or all of the above failing to complete for any reason.
Shareholders should be aware that the Resolutions must be passed by Shareholders at the General Meeting in order for the Conditional Placing, the Retail Offer and the Directors' Subscription to proceed. If the Resolutions are not passed, only the net proceeds of the Firm Placing will be received by the Company. In such an event, the Company would need to consider the options available to it in terms of alternative sources of funding. It may be that such sources would not be on terms as favourable to Shareholders as the Fundraising. Further, there is no guarantee that alternative sources could be found. In the event that the Resolutions are not passed and the Fundraising does not complete in full, and if such an alternative source of funding cannot be found, the Company expects that it would only have sufficient cash to fund its activities until the end of August 2024 and it will seek to conduct an orderly wind down of the affairs of the Company substantially before that time.
In the event that the Company is unable to meet such obligations as a result of the failure of the Fundraising to complete in full, and in the event that the Company is unable to secure alternative sources of funding, the Directors believe that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and it is highly likely that the Directors would (in order to fulfil their duties to the Company's creditors and to other applicable stakeholders) seek to place the Company into a members voluntary liquidation (which is a solvent liquidation procedure) that will seek to pay all creditors of the Company in full but any such proceeding would be likely to result in little or no value for Shareholders and Shareholders may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment.
These possibilities are considered to be realistic, not remote.
