As of May 10th 2025.
There are 41,040,915 shares outstanding and the board expects the base case payout to be about 10p per share. Quote from April 29th RNS: "The Directors have looked at the potential scenarios and taken advice to retain a certain amount of cash from the proceeds of the Disposals to meet its liabilities including an element of contingency. While there is potential for both upside and down side to these calculations, in its base case scenario reflecting the remaining shares in issue following the Tender Offer, the Board remains of the opinion that it does not expect there to be more than approximately 10p per Ordinary Share of returnable cash value remaining in the Company. However, shareholders should note that there can be no certainty that there will be any further distributions as part of the liquidation process."
Total cash = 35M (cash balance) + 11.2M + 1M = $47.2M = 37.7M GBP
Payments made = 14M GBP (1st tender) + 11M GBP (2nd tender) + 4.46M GBP (5.945M USD other liabilities payment after 31st december) + 3.5M GBP (1.55M USD trade payable + 3.1M tax liability) = 32.96M GBP
What is left for equity holders = 37.7 - 32.96 = 4.74M GBP / 41.05M shares = 11.5p
If we consider legal and administrative costs of 740k since Dec 31st 2024 (that does seem a bit egregious), we are left with 4M GBP / 41.05M shares = 9.7p
This does match with what they say.
