1. So JB got appointed on 9-Dec-19 as NED. JB holds controlling interest in AMGO through Richmond
2 Strategic Review and Statement from Richmond Group - 27-Jan-20
"Amigo has been informed by Richmond Group Ltd ("RGL"), the Company's controlling shareholder, that it is a willing seller of its 60.66% holding in Amigo and, as a result, the Company has today launched a strategic review and formal sale process with a view to maximising value for its shareholders which may result in a sale of the Company or a sale of some or all of the Company's business."
3. Yesterday's JB statement: "The recent formal sale process, which I voted against, is in my opinion nothing more than yet another handy excuse to delay necessary action, and to further restrict the flow of information to shareholders."
I call bullsheet. He obviously came in, saw an opportunity and now capitalising on this opportunity. Almost certain he wants to take this private on the cheap and test the FOS’s adjudications in court. If he wins, he wins big, if not then there is not much value in his equity anyway. Not hating on the move to be fair.
