Hello All,
I emailed Dave this morning to raise a couple of concerns. To his credit, he responded very quickly and I subsequently asked him for the ok to post the thread of our conversation onto the board, as I'm sure there are many like me who have the same concerns. He has ok'd me to post , so full text as follows :
Hi Dave,
As a long time private investor in Keras, I am trying to get my head around why someone like Peter would be cutting ties with Keras and what kind of message this sends out to the market ? As an outsider looking in it looks like he sees more opportunity down under with the multibagger Calidus.
In truth (and probably like a lot of other PIs) I�d love to know what the strategy is to release the value inherent in Calidus and get that reflected in the Keras share price . At the moment, and for the last year or two, all I�ve seen is dilution and the value of my holding plummet so I�d really appreciate your feedback.
Best Regards
Pat

There are numerous reasons behind Peter resignation, everything from the fact he has a new job that is taking up a lot of his time, through to issues with how accounts are dealt with with regards control issues etc and also to reduce costs at KRS so to minimise all corporate costs and minimise dilution at KRS.
We plan to undertake an in-specie distribution to shareholders when out of escrow unless of course someone makes a bid for Calidus in the meantime.
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I know there�s a saying that the stock market was invented to transfer money from the impatient to the patient but it�s great to get a little reassurance so your reply is much appreciated.
Would you mind if I share the information regarding the distribution on a couple of the uk bulletin boards ? I�m happy to let sleeping dogs lie if you prefer though.
Thanks again.
Pat

I have no issue with this at all.
