I can't see what all the fuss is about...it seems straight forward enough. SOU paid $1 to secure the acquisition....which is to be settled and eventually paid for via the PSD (Profit Sharing Deed)on profits from SOU's production that will already have been subjected to taxation. From where I'm sitting, it looks as if the 8% and 11%, as and when it materialises,....needs to be taxed being the true and actual part of the sale process.
rns extract.
'In consideration for the Acquisition, the Group shall make an initial payment of US$1 (one US dollar) to the Seller in cash
on completion and may make future payments to the Seller pursuant to a Profit Sharing Deed ("PSD").
Under the principal terms of the PSD, the Group will pay to the Seller an amount equivalent to between 8% and 11% of total net profits (after costs, taxes and other applicable deductions)'
