just to summarise:
i think EUA does have a legitimate business, but shares became significantly
over-priced over the few months leading up to suspension. i think pis became
over-excited by hints about CITIC & VTB, and by that feeble (imo) marketing
communication from ACF which should not have been shown to retail punters,
possibly along with other frothy speculation on different social media platforms.
i think that EUA did not want to be suspended, and does not want to leave
AIM. the company has used AIM over many years to raise money by issuing
huge numbers of new shares, and i suspect they would like to keep on doing
just that. some pis here talk about profits and cash flow from WK, but so far
it’s been an asset that burns cash overall rather than produces it for EUA, &
i doubt very much that it is about to become a major cash generator for EUA.
my guess is that AIM regulation required the suspension of the shares, in
order for the company to clarify to the market what the heck was or wasn’t
really going on with CITIC (let alone VTB, lol!) given their previous RNSs, &
the social media speculation. & since they still haven’t been able to emerge
from suspension, i think that EUA has not yet succeeded in convincing AIM
regulation that it has clarified sufficiently. (no other reason for suspension
was given, other than the subsequent nomad lack which was then resolved.)
i suspect that the main reason for AIM regulation’s involvement,
*if* i am correct that they ordered the suspension, is to protect
investors and the reputation of the market by preventing the
possibility or continuation of a false or disorderly market. aimho.
