ARATO doing as they like12 May 2020 08:27
It is clear Arato will continue to convert the CLN as and when they like, irrespective of the security they have over the returnable bank guarantee. By my reckoning they still have something like £870k to offload or thereabouts.
The company need the finance at the time for the deal but it has come at a heavy price. Not being able to pay any of the loan notes from the last placing was, imo, a masterstroke by Arato and weak management by the BOD.
