His name is Mr Parsons. You should get to know him as you are about to give him and his mates 4% of the company in options. He is raising £800,000 in a placing with his clients. Actually it is £720,000 after expenses. Where does that £80,000(10%) go? There will be 1,600,000,000 new shares at 0.05p a 50% discount to the Thursday share price. That's 16,000,000 shares and 5p in new money. Make you feel better? The share price fell 36% on Friday and 10% of the shares of the company were traded. The deal will go through. The new shares, are already allocated and will be sold. Will they be pre-sold? The people allocated the placing shares will sell them all the way down to 4.5p, they will still make a profit. The investors who have seen their investments decimated at Ascent will buy them. Averaging down and bargain hunting. Mr Parsons is relying on you. He will effectively raise the £800,000 from you. He pays himself a high salary. He is worth it, isn't he? And his friends? There will be more opportunities for his placing clients(?) in future cash raises at Ascent. It has taken you years to work out the old management are useless and bad for your wealth. Are you going to waste the same amount of time and money before you realise the same about the new management? Be warned.
