OK Sikh. For the last time:1. You are reading too much into 'exploring' and doc out within 6 days. If you know anything about the capital markets process, you'd know that the F-1 and other relevant submissions takes months to produce. I wouldn't stress too much on the wording used here to build a bear case as its common wording. Check with any capital markets lawyers and they'll tell you the same.2. CTV partners pulling out: in both instances, the 'pull out you mention has happened as a result of M&A, with the CTV provider looking to bring the resources in-house. This is a fairly common trend and we will see many more of these. Even Disney is looking to build its own SSP in house. Yes, data proviso will be impacted...and that will primarily impact the DMP side of the business- not the SSP or the DSP side, which are the major revenue generators for Tremor. But again, its not like there aren't any other data providers out there... data is good, but its also the ability to analyse the data - which Tremor excels in.3. Toscafund selling out: there can be many reasons for it. For a very long time, Tremor was one of the largest positions in the specific funds. With Tremor holding steady through the last few months and with share price actually rising, it would suggest that the % of NAV held in Tremor rose significantly over the last couple of months (note that 2nd largest position was Maxcyte which, after decline in March has held at around those levels). Also, Tremor has had relatively low levels of liquidity... if Toscafund were to just dump shares into the market, without a buyer ready to absorb those shares, we would have seen the share price tank. We haven't- in fact we saw that that Mithaq increased their ownership significantly as Toscafund reduced. Again, you are reading too much into this as well.4. Huge 'debt' provision: I assume you are referring to the bad debt provision that they took? In case you haven't noticed, we are coming out of a crisis and sometimes, businesses go bust. Recoverability of receivables could get impacted...and taking a provision on bad debt is called for by accounting standards in the interest of being prudent. If they do recover the majority vs assumed, the provision will just be released back into the Income Statement. No red flags here.5. Accelerating nasdaq listing due to lawsuit: If this were true, they would just have waited on the lawsuit (which they filed) until the dual listing was done. Why file for a lawsuit in the midst of the process if they were trying to get the issue done so people don't find out!? Finally, my bull thesis is based of solid financial performance and quite clear undervaluation vs peers on the other side of the pond. Share price perf over the last 12 months speaks for itsel
