RE: Holding Shares4 Mar 2015 09:17
Hi All, I very rarely post because of the quaility of posts is generally much better than anything I have to offer. Many thanks for all of your time over the past years.
I'm getting seriously confused about what's going on now and would appreciate some feedback on my points - feel free to shoot me down, I cant get more miserable than I am already!
I hold 220,000 shares. The offer is for 6p per share and will happen if 75% of shareholders vote in favour (accept the offer). This looks almost certain to happen, so why would I sell now at (say) 5.5p and lose £1100? If the 75% don't vote in favour then the intention is to request a vote to delist anyway because Redbird won't support any additional fundraising without BAO being delisted. Surely that vote will be approved because Redbird have us over a barrel in that respect. If we do delist then I'd expect Redbird to carry forward the 6p per share offer becasue they still want the whole company. Am I taking too many risks?
If i still hold in the delisted company then I run the risk of dilution if I don't support the fundraising that must happen. We all know there's value here, so I support it (to a value I can afford). The drag-along rights in Steeltraders post below relate to post delisting changes and suggests to me that if they sell the company on (to whoever) then they have the right to force me to accept the offer that they have accepted as long as it's accepted by 75% of the shareholders, and surely this must be at a profit to Redbird, so I make more than the 6p per share.
Jeremy and Ben (whatever we now think of them!) have committed to keeping their shares (Jeremy selling 1.5m to raise money for the future fundraising) and have an awful lot more than any of us. If they are taking that route can it be so risky?
