Have to agree with you there, Chris. It could not have been easy to achieve what they have in these difficult times. But , they have done themselves no favours, imo.
In this mornings statement they say that, "Triumph were informed by the Company in April 2021 that the Company had set the LOI aside following due diligence". So why wait till the eleventh hour to make it public. If that's not withholding vital information.. well?
Since the trading update on the 1st of April there has been the half year report, an investor event and the AGM.
Oh, and a placing. For good reason or not, that's not important in this instance. Or is it?
Nothing, as far as I can see, was mentioned about the shelving of this "possible", contract. With, "..each vessel would be expected to generate revenues... of between £340 million and £360 million over the 24-30 month period of fabrication, followed by additional revenues if further through-life support contracts are secured".
Nothing, until the time had actually expired and it had lost it's usefulness as part of the "pipeline".
Can understand why people are a bit miffed, tbh.
Putting on the rose tints or blinkers (green boxes) doesn't change the facts. (not aimed at you, btw)
Regardless of how much they have achieved or how successful they may become I don't think they have handled this well and have left themselves wide open for criticism.
And yes, it is easy to sit and snipe. However, it may not be so easy for people to sit back watch your hard earned dissapear down the swanny without venting their frustration sometimes.
I'm sure a decent bit of positive news and everyone would have something else to focus on. For a while. ;)
