EB, yes, i agree that these events do call into question what the nomad did
and didn’t know, including e.g. which aspects did it take on trust from ADME
BoD’s say-so, versus were there aspects where the nomad asked to see some
kind of independently verifiable proof of ADME’s claims? the nomad is trying
to *advise* ADME about AIM rules and regulations, and help interpret those
to ADME in relation to particular situations /messages etc., but so far as i
understand it, a nomad does *not* guarantee to be continuously auditing
a company, or independently fact-checking data that a company supplies
to them to try to *catch them out* or attempt some kind of forensic analysis.
an AIM company is meant to act honestly, transparently and in good faith with
its nomad, and if a nomad were to discover that it had been duped by a client
AIM company that would be resignation grounds for most respectable nomads.
(- but i have no particular expertise in AIM regulation or re nomad
operational policies, so am content just to watch & see what unfolds.)
there does seem to be an ongoing issue imho about ADME’s timely
notification of material info to the markets, alongside all the other
issues … e.g. even if ADME is fully confident that NHNL has no good
basis for a claim of £1.75million, I would think that ADME should
have notified its shareholders / market long ago that this dispute
and claim was underway (- which could of course have included
ADME’s protestations of innocence, & reassurances about outcome).
and of course there is still the puzzle about why that 4-6 week CPR for
barracuda is still only at draft stage, at best, more than six months later?
so far as i have seen, ADME has issued no explanation
whatsoever for that ongoing and very long CPR delay.
