Lovely of Myles to speak on behalf of the large majority.
Ordinarily I think they were decent deals, if the ratio of ebitda to revenue is maintained or improved they provide a healthy income stream, especially with expansion in to new markets. In the context of getting AVA6k over the line then yeah, flogging them for a wad of cash sounds great. Alternatively, let’s go all TW on this, consider a stinking placing for £50m, worse case scenario. They’d still have a wad of cash in the bank and they’d still have a path to greatness but they’d retain some diversification. I’m pretty sure that the placing would be quickly forgotten with that cash available as at the end of it is the same pot rammed full of billions. No mention of the death spiral in MMs master plan incidentally. Bottom line, yeah, they need money, who cares where and how they get it. Not sure selling a division is necessary if you have the potential for licensing and partnerships.
I’m more interested in my retirement plans than Alan’s, but your scenario is plausible Energy.
