RE: Bid for Genedrive Plc.21 Aug 2025 14:56
the sp was holding advice a penny fairly well until john lay****’s post. it was obviously hugely damaging hence the bods rns to try and limit that damage. if they were in the middle of negotiating a funding deal from anywhere then the timing could not have been worse. if there was a deal being brokered with a pe firm to take it over then gino wouldn’t have bothered putting out the rns, in fact the pe firm would have loved it and gino may have been offered a more attractive package to stay on as ceo once private. this has made me think twice about whether or not a lowball bid was coming from anywhere, but rather they were just trying to raise enough money to get them to christmas, in the hope they may have more sales from abroad to announce. the thought of gaining fda approval by as early as april or may and being so close to ebitda but falling short just before hand is sickening. if only they had made a saving of £100k two years ago they would probably have scraped through.
