RE: Buy-back of Diversion shares - Today's RNS7 Nov 2019 21:55

It become tricky...
The agreement appears to be written for the scenario where the amount that would be realised from the share buy-back does not satisfy the debt in full, hence the "in addition,..." Diversion will pay settle a shortfall.
In the equation is the exchange rate too.... Instead, let's say the SP is 21p i.e. twice the required 10.5p to settle the debt. I appreciate 10.5p doesn't balance directly the $125,548 so let's say the exchange rate makes up the difference.
With an sp of 21p would Diversion have the right to say "okay at an sp of 21p Zoetic only need 475,000 of the 950,000 shares to settle the debt"
It's been clarified that Diversion would not be entitled to any surplus if the "whole" 950,000 shares were bought back but no consideration has been made for the scenario where "part of the 950,000" would settle the debt - still no payment to Diversion but they retain some of the shares. In this case at 21p 475,000.
Apart from all that it will be an interesting accounting exercise for the shares going in to Treasury... What will be the Treasury price?
Assuming the whole 950,000 are "exchanged" will the treasury price be based on the buy-back price say 21p or will it be based on the debt settled ($125.548) divided by the 950,000 ->10.5p?
