Juste I partly agree however given we expected the bookbuild to be closed we were not told that it had been extended merely that the figure was reduced to $220m for other institutions.
That can be taken in two ways, one that the raise has been unsuccessful or two that the book build completed and was closed in the allotted time frame (we were not notified of an extension) and that the submissions are being calculated, allotted and the final placing figure known. The “on or around” is a key point to the wording. The update today was additional to the book build and was issued, it did not form part of the $250m placing other than the $30m which was outlined and subsequently reduced the issue to $220m as such, there has been zero update on the placing - today’s news was in its own way unrelated.
Joe I didn’t think you were but I do think the B.B. was got a bit silly and perhaps I have been a little short fused with a certain member or two having seen the same rubbish droning on for month after month.
