RE: Morrisons and shareholder funds13 May 2022 06:08
Question.
Although this officially went into administration, the entire debt was paid off and the entire company was kept intact including the pension fund and therefore for me it’s still trading as a going concern, albeit now owned by a PE firm and now debt free. this means it never actually liquidated in true sense of word
Morrisons Owners have also stated it will keep Morrisons and McColls brands separate for time being and allow existing mgmt to run it.
So , In theory, is it not still possible this could relist? And maybe the new owners cud add a big chunk of shares to the float to make them majority shareholders and sp and mcap gets rebased? This wud give them an option to recover their outlay if and when the sp shud grow.
This wud obviously heavilty dilute shareholders in the short term, but still give SH an option and a fight chance to recover some of their losses.
It is blue sky thinking, but just asking if this is theoretically at least still possible to relist under the circumstances
Cud be one way to claw back the upfront debt payments they made if the business recovers back to profit making and the sp goes back up.
