Regarding the nrr deal, compared to past financial packages, the nrr deal is by far the best alternative, Again we are an aim company with no revenue, shareholder dilution was inevitable. Maybe AMC needed to diversify away from Russia, something that AH has said.
It's a fair point about capital being tied down for 3 years and was something I was worried about as well. As Spartacus has alluded to it is revenue generating dilution, also if we are looking at taking this to production then the time scales set seems to fit nicely when we may require debit to pay off the costs. On that note: 70/30 split debit Vs equity is that reasonable? From $600m needed to get things running $180m will be needed. Will 13% of nrr be worth anything like that? Or help reach that goal.
AH leading AMC board down a dark alley, I am not particularly a fan of AH (I have no facts to question his integrity other then past dealings , maybe he is too slick for me). But I don't see the other board members such as TB to be that naive . off take and debit is it really that unusual?
It looks like AH is still a member of AMC board which suggest it wasn't an internal decision (that being said , recent exodus of board members could still give some gas to this theory). If the 10% shareholder theory has more credence, then the placing and nrr deal seems to have worked out to keep the wolves at bay for the time being. In some ways having a hostile entity or entities in the shadows gives me some comfort in my investment (doesn't mean it will turn out ok) , but if there are wolves, there must be some juicy meet for them to linger in the shadows ready to feast!!
