RE: What if NMC have done nothing wrong?7 Feb 2020 22:14
This company has been in existence since 1940s . It’s infrastrcuture is massive as mentioned by Danny. So in reality what is worst thing that can happen.
So if we consider that main sticking point here is with cash and debt situation. Given th delay to report on just these 2 financial it MW let’s assume these are an issue now with company over leveraged due to over agreesive massive expansion plans
2 things that will be recommended by Freeh to Shetty.
Either a restructure of primary debt if possible over a period of time that is manageable to payback and is within risk criteria of lender
If this is not possible, then a sell up of assets to pay off debts and downsizing of company. This is effectively what many of the UK banks had to do after the collapse in 2008. This will obviously meet all th governance and mitigate risk of th company, but it’s growth forecast will be significantly ramped back and this will change all the furture growth indicators.
Both of these outcomes, will safeguard the future of the company, preventing from going bust, but downsizing and slower growth will mean sp,will be stunted for a long period of time and unlikley to get any where close to 30 and £40 levels it saw in 2018 for at least a decade.
Especially if bank share prices since 2008 are anything to go by. I should know as iVe worked for one of than for more than 20 years
