MediaMath filing for Bankruptcy was a continuation of the challenges which followed P&G demands for clarity within the ad tech ecosystem in 2017.
Because of the way inventory payments work and the fact ad tech players partner with each other, there will be millions owed to trmr, which could be unrecoverable and so have to be written off.
This is what happened to following Sizmek's bankruptcy a few years ago.
The company/sector newsflow has been as expected.
MediaMath going bust was expected.
From my previous post, 5th July 2023 16.07.
Lots of Ad Tech companies partner with each other.
Look out for the $millions of bad debt provision. Money trmr won't receive but they will still have to pay to partners they owe to.
Because of the pay inventory works, the full extent won't be known for months. This will snowball as it did with Sizmek.
MM isn't the 1st company to run into trouble and it won't be the last.
This on top of US banks going bust and needing emergency rescue.
FACT no2
AGM:
It isn't uncommon to withdraw resolutions ahead of an AGM. They listened to their shareholders, which is what BoD are supposed to do. I wish more company's BoD would do so.
All resolutions were passed
As in my previous post, the major holders with > 3% hold around 91m shares.
Resolution
1 - to receive and adopt AR, directors reports and Auditor's reports were voted through with 91m votes, so unanimously
2 - to pay the dividend was voted unanimously
3,4 - to reappoint directors was passed.
5 - to reappoint the Auditors was passed unanimously
so...
with 91m votes, it looks obvious the major shareholders voted in favour of the resolutions unanimously.
Why have those big shareholders voted to retain the same auditors and vote through the resolutions?
Have all the big investors missed something or are the derampers right???
The dividend has been voted through, the resolution wasn't withdrawn and there's no rns saying the divi is being withdrawn.
We'll have to see if that dividend is going to be ex-divi and be paid soon enough.
If the company was in severe financial trouble as the derampers are suggesting then why would the company still pay a dividend??
The surge in Shares on Loan, small trades, number of trades together with the surge in deramping posts, says everything.
FACTS and not nonsense posted by the derampers.
HOLDERS AND TRADES:
From AR. As per 27th July 2023, there are around 91m shares held by larger investors, with > 3%. They hold around 47% of the shares issued.

SoL surges in Jan this year.
There aren't hundreds of PIs so why hundreds of trades?
There's no evidence of significant selling by larger investors and so it comes down to shorters. The sheer increase in deramping and trolls is evidence of that.
The are a significant number of Shares on Loan and small trades. A 10k trade is only around £1k.
TLY is illiquid and so hundreds of small trades would move the sp.
We'll soon see if there's significant selling by larger investors, ie > 3%
Justdeezerts,
I'll post the facts around TLY after but I haven't posted on trmr for 2 months and Nano for 6 months.
https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/stt1/
They are just trolls who shares crashed due to events which I had warned about. They can't accept responsibility for their own stupidity so blame the messenger and short TLY instead!!.
Evidence:
Nano:
I posted the facts and my opinion based on those facts.
On Nano in Jan/Feb re their legal dispute with Samsung and court case/legal settlement. There were red flags in the public domain which suggested the legal settlement would be low and it was.
Read my post on "Look at the facts and form opinion on those facts" of 30th Jan which was posted before the settlement announcement.
https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/stt1/?page=4
Nano crashed from 70p to 17p due the events I warned about.
Trmr:
The red flags for trmr, ad tech company, have been around for years.
https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/stt1/?page=11
Trmr crashed 850p to 160p due to the events I warned about.
Excellent news, as predicted. Huge expansion to bring down waiting lists.
Both Tories and Labour favour this, so no political risk..
Regardless of who wins the next GE.
NHS to expand use of private sector to tackle waits
"Making greater use of the private sector is something Labour has called for, and that the government has been looking at since late 2022 after setting up the Elective Recovery Taskforce."
"The private sector already carries out hundreds of thousands of treatments and appointments for the NHS every year."
"But it has said it has the capacity to carry out about 30% more than it is."
"Ministers are hoping a relaxation of the rules governing the award of contracts by the NHS will create more flexibility for local health bosses to use the private sector when needed."
"In these circumstances, the private sector is asked to do the work at NHS prices."
"The rule change - known as the provider selection regime - will come in before the end of the year and means there will be greater freedom to award contracts without tendering."

Lots of Ad Tech companies partner with each other.
Look out for the $millions of bad debt provision. Money trmr won't receive but they will still have to pay to partners they owe to.
Because of the pay inventory works, the full extent won't be known for months. This will snowball as it did with Sizmek.
MM isn't the 1st company to run into trouble and it won't be the last.
This on top of US banks going bust and needing emergency rescue.
There you go, as expected...
The fallout from the major challenges facing ad tech continues, as expected...
fewer DSPs/SSPs, M&A activity, Privacy laws.
The problems from partners going bust, banks like SVB going bust will continue..
Inventory Payments:
The way inventory payments work, ad tech companies need huge amounts of cash just to keep going. The Trade Desk raised $200m, MediaMath $600m.
This was highlighted when Sizmek filed for Chapter 11. They too offered CTV.
Plus, the impact of losing Alphonso, data provider, court case isn't yet known. In the meantime, they will still need to pay their suppliers.
The ad tech model works by DSPs/SSPs, partnering with each other. It is usually the case that the company would pay their 'supplier' (other ad tech companies) around 60 days but receive their cut from 'customers' (other ad tech companies) around 90 days. That gap("inventory payments") has to be covered from their own cash or they setup credit facilities.
I sold at 844p 2 yrs ago and stated it at the time.
The shares have had 2 yrs to prove my trade was badly timed but they haven't have they?.
I'm sure if the sp had continued rising you and your mates would have been claiming that I was wrong as I sold too soon.
Try doing some research on ad tech ecosystem. If you had followed the ad tech newsflow then you would know the challenges which hit in 2017 and continue to hit the sector and I've warned about. MediaMath is another casualty in a growing line of failures within the sector. It isn't the 1st and won't be the last.
My posts saying I sold at 844p 2 years ago and my reasons for doing so. All there for all readers to form their own opinion:
https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/stt1/?page=22
There you go, as expected, more ad tech companies file for bankruptcy.
The fallout from 2017 P&G demands, Sizmek bankruptcy, SVB closing continues...
As previously mentioned, the way the inventory payments work means it takes 60-90 days to receive/make payments from/to their partners.
Is it a coincidence SVB closed 3 months ago?
The newsflow for ad tech ecosystem has been as expected.
I'm glad I sold trmr a couple of years ago at 844p.
This would be a great add on for TLY if they doing the consulting/referrals.
NHS digital health check-ups launched 'to ease pressure on GPs'
The government aims to deliver more than one million of the online assessments in the first four years of the scheme, which it hopes will help prevent hundreds of strokes and heart attacks.

Bladey,
"but thinking they may need to raise some cash looking at final results IMO"
I also think they will need to raise some cash soon.
Despite the biggest pandemic in 100yrs from which they should've gained huge cash, they still had to have a fundraising last August. If they had to have one post the biggest pandemic then I'd thought they would need another soon.
They raised £1m last August.

Today's rns is a registration. The question is how much will they earn from it and crucially, when?
They were presented with the biggest opportunity when Covid hit.
Now WHO has declared the pandemic emergency is over.
Look around and hardly anybody bothers wearing masks nor using sanitisers.
WHO says Covid-19 is no longer a global health emergency
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/05/health/who-ends-covid-health-emergency/index.html
Companies will claim limited exposure but these snowball... It's not just the deposits but if partners/customers of ad tech firms can't pay their invoices then it will have a bigger exposure.
Because of the payment of inventory take months (usually 3 months), the impact won't be known for several months.
It's just the start.
According to this article, SVB had $8.3bln of mortgages, $2.6bln commercial backed debt on it's books.
15% of it's loans were on property..
I think this will snowball across the world
The govn held emergency talks to help tech companies. If this ripples across, as I expect then the housing market also need help.
"The stunning failure of Silicon Valley Bank, which was shut down by state regulators and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on Friday morning, sent shockwaves through the tech industry. But it could have major implications for real estate too.
Though the bank primarily lent to venture capital and private equity firms, about 15 percent of the loans on its books were secured by residential mortgages and commercial real estate, according to its 2022 financial report. "
