RE: A good illustration of what could happen here!12 Dec 2025 07:45
Wow another £75m of late reported sells after hours yesterday. Two from the 10th Dec. I’d assumed Lanstead were out already but maybe not. If they still have shares left why sell at the recent lows? Why not just hold for another two to three months and, according to some here, multiply their investment by 10 at the very least, more like 20 or so if £s are really a prospect? Clearly whoever was holding all those shares does not see things the same way and are exiting before Christmas by the looks of it.
Could Tim be preparing a placing in the NY with the excuse that IMM needs a strong cash position to have a stronger hand at the negotiating table - all will be well once we’ve done the deal! Could Lanstead be the provider of the funding but at a lower price? My guess would be if they could sell out completely at 6p or above then they would be willing to get back on board with yet another agreement to fund IMM at 3p? Tim’s excuse will be something like - look, we’re in a really good position right now, talking to some really big potential partners but the deal is going to take longer than we’d expected and we don’t want to find ourselves in a position of worrying about our cash position…’ onwards to that effect.
It’s an imaginary scenario I know, but the way things look currently with the continuing selling off a major holder I’d say it’s looking more possible by the day. If there’s still no deal by end of February then I think another placing will be the most likely RNS to be released next. But remember what Tim said: ‘keep the faith’ and ‘believe what management say’
