"ODX confirms that it is in discussions with certain investors and shareholders regarding a potential equity fundraising."
So it is a fact that they have confirmed they are seeking equity. We need to ask why? Usually it's because you need money.
-------------
But they don't need money immediately, as ODX state: "there is no immediate need to raise additional capital"
-------------
"Market conditions remain challenging and accordingly any issue of equity would be at a discount to the current share price. Any fundraise would include an open offer to accommodate retail investors."
They confirm the market conditions are challenging. This may also be a clue why they need to raise funds as things have not panned out as hoped.
-------------
In the same sentence, the term "Market conditions" relates to "issue of equity", no need to second guess.
-------------
"As per the announcement of 19 January, the Company has significant cash resources."
This sentence is comforting to know and if this was the only sentence in the RNS I think the SP would have shot up....however we can all see that it is a bit contrary to the rest of the narrative within this RNS which is about trying to fund raise.
-------------
It's not contrary, they are stating that they have "significant cash resources" i.e. "there is no immediate need to raise additional capital". Meaning we are not doing this out of desperation.
-------------
"Accordingly, there is no immediate need to raise additional capital and the Company may choose not to proceed with a fundraising until such time as conditions are more favourable."
They do not say they won't instigate a fund raise exercise or they may to choose not to but rather they may choose to delay it until market conditions are more favourable.....i.e. I translate this to mean we will do it when the SP is higher.
-------------
They won't do a fundraise until it's necessary. Growth companies need to fund raise - nothing new.
"I feel the fund raise is nailed on but ODX are claiming that they can wait until they choose to pull the trigger".
So tomorrow morning, I'm expecting an RNS based on your comments along with @TWatcher/@CaptainSwag that states "fundraise".
