RE: market not cotton on to today's RNS5 May 2021 12:48
as i see it...the amount of £1m is in no way reflects any valuation of SAG, however, is simply a way of injecting the required amount of cash into it, to pay salaries and..from the rns...
The injection of cash by the Company into Start Art provides the capital required for the development of the existing platform, its expansion and to allow for client relationship management ("CRM") integration, live and pre-recorded TV and News, the addition of virtual reality features, a crypto payment gateway (to allow payment of products using virtual currencies) and NFT capabilities as well as other technology-based expansions.
Start Art also intends to help artists mint their own non fungible tokens ("NFTs",a non-fungible token is a unique unit of data stored on a blockchain) working with a third-party system - OpenSea. Once Start Art has completed the minting process, the NFT will be available to purchase on the platform. This service is anticipated to be available from Q3 of 2021.

open sea touts itself as the largest and first marketplace digital goods and nft.

this piece from the rns ..is interesting to me..
The Company has also received an undertaking that should Start Art seek additional funds from a third party within 6 months Start Art shall take such steps as may reasonably be required to ensure that the Company's shareholding shall not be diluted below 12%. Additionally, the Company will be party to the Shareholder Agreement which provides standard protections such as pre-emption and "drag and tag" on sale.

So, that says to me the reason why LVCG only gets 16% - they are planning to sell more of it to others and will use the LVCG stake price as the yardstick. I can see what he is trying to do and whilst I think the structure is a bit ropey and DC is stretching his standing in the markets with this stunt, they have a chance to succeed with this, as NFT art, digital assets and the rest of the sector are gaining more and more ground each day.
