Simons email to me16 Nov 2018 00:39
Thanks for your email. To be clear, we made the announcement today only because of a regulatory requirement to do so, having previously put down a marker of "mid November". So we have been forced to announce that there is, effectively, no new news.
If there were hard and definite answers to the questions you ask, we would likely have answered them or given guidance on related matters in the RNS of today. We have not been able to do so. As you might imagine, the situation is complex and it develops every day. We are therefore unable to give details of any agreement unless and until one is signed and contractually binding. By "definitive" we mean exactly that - contractually binding and therefore material to the future of the Company and, as such in itself an announceable event.
On that basis, I am sorry to say you will simply have to watch and wait for the next news, like all other shareholders.
Kind regards,
Simon
