Do we all recall hearing at the last AGM…if we win one big deal, it could make us profitable overnight?
It has recently been suggested that ASX disclosure rules could prevent this deal from ever happening…that direct feedback from organisations is that they will not do business with Brainchip because of the ASX disclosure rules...that they do not want to be forced into revealing financial, product use or anything about their relationship with Brainchip, that they wish to remain secret.
I am told that this is the principal reason for listing in the US.
As FF tells us DYOR…well Fact, I have.
If one looks at the ASX disclosure rules, they allow companies to maintain total confidentiality if they follow rule 3.1A (see below). During discussions with the ASX, I have been told…’follow these rules and you don’t have to disclose’.
Now this might exasperate shareholders, myself included, but if a customer wants their relationship with Brainchip kept confidential, it is up to both companies to say nothing.
Ford agreed to make an ASX announcement (see below) so long as it didn’t reveal their name...but because of the speculation surrounding it, the ASX required the name of the Tier-one automotive manufacturer to be released. This upset Ford, and perhaps led to them not continuing with their evaluation.
THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT NEVER HAD TO BE MADE.
If Ford didn’t want to be identified, then as keen as Brainchip might have been at the time, the announcement should never have occurred.
The same applies to all organisations Brainchip has or will have an association with…if they demand confidentiality, then ASX rule 3.1A allows it. Customers can be told with absolute certainty…if you demand confidentiality, then we both have to remain mute about our relationship.
The risk of breaking confidentiality is no greater here, than in any other environment.
So this issue cannot be used as a reason for moving. If the above pathway is followed, Brainchip will enhance its credibility, it will win the deals, generate revenue, increase its share price, and be able to move to a US listing without causing a major loss in value to its existing shareholders.
