Placing again22 Jun 2020 09:25
Although it is good I think to get rid of Atlas like this, I wonder why they have to place now. There is still more than 5 weeks on the clock to do just that?? And wasn't there still an election to make for Atlas? 'The Election'?
And what is the difference between Atlas getting the shares and this placing, it's both shares out into the market? 6 and two 3s springs to mind.
So, raising a lot of money that is not needed for 5 weeks at the very least (which in this company is a very, very long time) sounds odd to me. AP is raising again because they are out of money and did not plan properly. Again.
Don't be surprised that when Atlas Elects to convert in July, AP does not have the money any more and shares will be allocated to Atlas anyway. It fits very well with the history of AP. You can remind me in August if I'm wrong! If we are close to production at that time and PI can see the light of revenue then it may not hurt the Sp too much either, but that ios what I expect hence the very early placing now.
