It is bizarre that trading be suspended on the asx and not on aim. I like the theory stated in a previous post that a leak could cause the Asx to request a speeding ticket or explanation. They could not deny a reason for the rise but also not announce a deal if not legally binding. It seems plausible they have gotten ahead of the curve and covered themselves knowing the announcement here covers an aim speeding ticket. If there was no deal they would just have to say it.
Having the information in the public domain doesn't necessarily mean publication but could simply mean that persons such as bankers or lawyers are in possession of sensitive documents. I find it hard to believe that a deal not being completed could find its way into the public domain, there seems no logical basis for that.
Just my thoughts though guys, I'm incredibly excited but obviously do your own research/ tea leaf reading
