Yes; I would like a resolution to 201.
The Company would be in a better financial position without the LOI, and I believe that it has shot trust in the BOD, rightly or wrongly, to such a degree that it needs to be addressed head-on.
This could be in the form of a payment to maintain exclusivity, or to maintain ongoing costs to VAL (e.g. patent renewal), which are not free. For an outfit wishing to raise multiple millions, this is token.
At very minimum, we should receive a reasonable update (we are past "in due course", in my opinion).
The initial payment would ultimately only be a few hundred grand, but 201 has probably wiped 15-20M from our MCap. It's a one-way "no win, no fee" arrangement, and it has been terrible for shareholders.
If the above couldn't be done, then I'd move on; even if it mean't going back for more work, as has been done for 301.
This is my opinion. The BOD feel differently, may have seen more than we know, and are adamant that it's on, so if it is (realistically it would have to be soonish, by even the largest stretches), then any ultimate successes are totally on them.
However, if the deal is delayed further, and ultimately is not signed, then that's on them, too.
But we have Kevin, Stella, Martin, Gerry, and a financial advisory team who have agreed, in due dil terms, that TX are going to be giving VAL money. It's a board-collective decision, and this is as much in their remit as that if the CEO. They've asked us to trust them.
Let's see how this develops in the next couple of months.
