I suspect Anavio have made their money. Don't care about the bonds now.
If you lend someone money then destroy the company you won't be expecting to get your loan back.
It's odd that BP are in dispute with Summit if they are part of the the same Secured Senior Lender.
Surely it's ideal for BP. Just make an offer to Summit for Summits part of the debt and they get all the COPL assets cheap.
No shareholders, no bondholders.
I don't think the demise of the JV and subsequent events is that Machiavellian.
I think Summit were waiting for a sizable JV amount so as to pay back some/all of their loan.
The JV were probably offering way less than was hoped for and Summit scuppered any deal which would have been great for COPL but not for Summit because the JV would be taking away some of Summits secured assets
I presume Summit have acquired all our assets for a nominal amount and will sell them on in due course to recover their loan. (Summit were the only creditors that were secured against the assets)
So that leaves COPL with no assets and other debt.....Bondholders and sundry other debt.
Given no assets to generate an income COPL is bust and will be wound up.
No other creditors and bondholders will get any money back. (because summit took all the assets)
Of course Anavio probably aren't too bothered. Probably made all their money shorting all raises, conversions ,and interest payments.
Shareholders left with nothing, and the company will be dissolved along with all shares.
Shocking, Scandalous.
Do those involved, the directors of COPL, appreciate the affect they have had on on investors lives? Do they even care?
Jiddy,
"...I would anticipate due to the likely multi-jurisdictional, aspect of this action, we will require the following (please note the below is an indication):
Expert documented/written legal advice from Kings Counsel (ideally a specialist in Canadian law and/or with working knowledge within their Chambers).
Legal advice from documented from a Canadian law firm as to process and procedure.
Forensic accounting and/or financial services advice as to the likely explanation for the collapse in the share price.
Review and consider valid PR angles in the media/press in both the UK and Canada (and beyond if required).
All UK legal action and instruction of (1)-(4) and others to be ran by myself via Carlton Elleker Chase.
The purpose of the above will be to ensure you are provided with not just theoretical but practical legal advice, in any normal instruction, individually or as a small collective, the combined fees would be in excess of £150,000.00 (my own hourly rate being typically £500 p/h by way of example and it would not be uncommon for Counsel to be 3 times this...), however due to the size of the group, we will be able to spread this cost and risk across those interested in moving forwards.
On first review, the average investment size is in excess of £25,000.00, therefore I propose in order to fund the first stage of the action, we will have a banding in order to be a part of the group and fund the initial action, the banding will be between £100.00 plus VAT and £550.00 plus VAT , that is to say, no-one will pay more than that to be a member of the group and receive the benefit of the above and also, my specific on-going advice on receipt, to be delivered via a series of Zoom calls and other contact at your request...."
This usually happens and a lot of people may drop out.
Yep, the damage has been done.
The assets have been transferred to Summit for a pittance and they will sell them on to get their money back.
No way back from here, someone else will legitimately buy them and COPL shareholders are history.
Can't blame Summit, they just wanted their money back.
Anavio probably came out on top.
It was them that were shorting all the Anavio financed raises which destroyed the share price and COPL's ability to raise from other sources( e.g. shareholders rights issues). And also probably made it impossible for reputable RBL's to get involved once they knew we were in bed with the loan sharks
I have said it before. Arthur should never have bought CUDA with the Anavio bonds. He could have easily got enough finance from a shareholder raise. We were buying assets at a discounted rate.
Once Anavio had got involved, aided and abetted by Tom Richardson who refused to allow future funding from anyone but Anavio, the spiral continued and caused the demise.
A promising business wrecked by the money men and incompetent management.
I wonder how the bidding process works.
Does everyone interested put in a bid then the administrators accept the highest bid.
OR, is there ANY kind of auction whereby lower bidders get a chance to up their bid. Clearly the latter
ensures that we get the best price possible.
I am sure there has been considerable interest.
BUT has it been vultures wanting to feed of the remains for as little as possible,
OR, serious bidders who see the value and may compete against each other in a fair value auction.!?
I am sceptical that a restructuring with a new partner is on the cards.
Why would a bidder want to bail out shareholders when they can simply buy the assets.
Unless of course COPL has very large tax credits form previous losses.
I have 1.3m shares that cost me around £45k
If £100m clears the debt then anything above that gets shared out between a now colossal (thanks Anavio and our Chairman Mr Richardson) 3.5 billion shares. (quite a lot of which are owned by the loan sharks Anavio)
So IF someone comes along and offers £200m that is £100m to share between 3.5billion = 2.85p per share
I get approx. £37k
I could live with that small loss BUT are we going to get any where near what the assets are worth. ??
Our chairman has already stated that the assets are worth less than the debt. AND I fear that is why we are going to get low-balled and end up with nothing.
The trouble with liquidators in a fire sale is they only want to get back enough to pay the debt.
Shareholders mean nothing to them.
We need well over £100m get any any sort of return. £200m would see me clawing back some losses. £300m and I'd be in profit. VERY doubtful anything like that will happen though.
It's just a bit of a worry that the sale of assets is being rushed through so quickly as to not allow
serious substantive bidders to make offers commensurate with fair value.
Is there any way we can slow this process down?
