@HH - I have read the RNS announcement many, many times and it is quite clear:
"4. If, within 60 months of executing the Option Agreement, Alien disposes of its interest in the Projects, the Company will pay Windfield a performance payment in addition to the Upfront Consideration (Performance Payment).
5. The Performance Payment is calculated by:
a. In the event of a Tenement Sale: 50% of the value uplift attributable to the Projects;
b. In the event of an IPO/Spin-out event on a recognised stock exchange: 50% of the value uplift attributable to the Projects; or
c. In the event a decision to mine is made: 50% of the project valuation uplift attributable to the Projects.
In each case, the uplift payments are reduced by 50% of the incurred project expenditure. "
Clause 5 is directly linked to clause 4 - decision to dispose of assets. I have been involved in enough contract negotiations in a previous life to know when one clause clearly links to another. Also, it would be very amiss for UFO to mislead the markets if they knew of hidden clauses that could have a detrimental effect on its share price, in fact, it would be against regulations.
