AVZ Discussion 2022

As long as AVZ does not publish an explicit request to shareholders that ALL shareholders must be registered with Automic in order to receive, for example, a special dividend or other special payment, I believe that custody at the custodian bank is sufficient.

Normally, the bank is the registered holder, but it acts for and on behalf of the beneficial owner, which is me.
It is the same for me: my shares are held by my bank (DKB) at a custodian or partner bank.

I assume that in the event of a TO, or any kind of end to AVZ, the shareholders will be informed of how to proceed.

I would not currently transfer the shares to another broker in advance for no reason, which would also enable them to be held at Automic, and this would probably involve costs.

At the moment, however, nothing is clear and I remain on hold.

Or does anyone have any specific information about this?
I held avz shares in different trading accounts, namely comsec and ibkr. they were removed from comsec and so I set them up in automic. I contacted interactive brokers at the time to request options, they said I could leave them with them and so I have. The shares still show up in my ibkr account however they have been marked down to 0.15 though. I figure I'll leave them there also and hopefully collect the cash from my ibkr account.

Not all moderation is bad, for example this thing needs to be hit with the ban hammer:

0.15 Dollar? How would they come up with such valuation??

My German brokers still lists them with the last trading price of 0.519 EUR. However, the asset is not counted to the total value of my account.

I did not register with Automic, yet. Actually, I get regularly snail mail letters from my broker regarding aussie stocks I hold. Apparently, companies sometimes request that all stock holding institutions to communicate personal data of the holding individual. However, according to German data protection law, they are obliged to inform me about that process. Happend also before various key milestones of AVZ and other companies. So somehow it appears as if the companies indeed know I am a holder of given stocks. Didn't happen with AVZ since long time, though... might be since delisting, but I didn't take reccords, unfortunately.

Was 100% sure they were a bot until they recognised a joke.

no idea how they came up with that valuation. it seems reasonable to mark down the valuation given it was delisted but seems a bit arbitrary to come up with $0.15aud. anyhow it doesnt bother me, I know its true worth and its a lot higher than that. its amazing how many people have written avz off, its been dark at times but have always maintained the belief we would get out of this somehow. fingers crossed.

Honestly, that $0.15 valuation looks more like a placeholder than anything tied to real price discovery. Brokers sometimes assign arbitrary values for internal accounting when a stock’s suspended or delisted — it doesn’t mean there’s actual market consensus at that level.

The last traded price of €0.519 is probably the most accurate snapshot of its former value, but since the asset is non-tradable now, brokers usually exclude it from portfolio NAV. It’s frustrating, but pretty standard in cases like this.

If you haven't registered with Automic, that might explain why you're not receiving company updates — post-delisting, the share registry becomes your direct link to the company. It’s worth registering, just in case any corporate action (like relisting, asset distribution, etc.) comes up.

Until there’s real movement — whether through relisting, a buyout, or liquidation — the true value is basically unknown. All we can do for now is stay informed and make sure we’re properly registered to not miss any updates.
Is this a chatgpt reply or do you just have multiple personalities ?

Capital return please. I'd like CGT rather than getting reamed for tax.
Agree mate, just curious perhaps you or someone else here might know this. To get the CGT discount, does the company have to relist? Or does Nigel have to shut AVZ down and return capital as you say? What are your and others thoughts on this process?

With the mining licence in place and sovereign risk neutralised by US backing, the floor valuation for Roche Dure is USD $6–8 billion, based on recent comparable transactions.

At that level, AVZ shareholders walk away satisfied, and the buyer — whether it’s Kobold or someone else — secures an asset that will generate extraordinary long-term returns.

If there’s competitive tension or multiple bidders, valuations could easily push toward USD $10–12 billion. This isn’t wishful thinking — the resource scale, global lithium demand, and geopolitical backing are all undeniable.

Frankly, anyone floating numbers below $6B either hasn’t done the work or is pushing an agenda. And if shareholders are forced into accepting a lowball outcome after years of obstruction and delay, a class action is inevitable — and no one sees a cent until that’s resolved.

It’s also critical that any distribution of proceeds to shareholders is executed via a share buyback or liquidation, not as a dividend or income-style return. If AVZ structures it in a way that denies shareholders access to the 50% CGT discount, it will absolutely trigger further legal action.

As for Jens now appearing to talk down the value of the project — I genuinely don’t understand his shift in position. He previously talked it up, so the change is confusing. It seems likely he was receiving information from someone on the ground in the DRC, and that pipeline may have dried up.

That said, if shareholders are materially harmed and it’s shown that public commentary influenced sentiment or misled investors, he could face legal consequences as well. No one is immune from scrutiny if this goes south.

Maybe they will organise some sort of Share Buy Back program, instead of a special dividend, so cgt still comes in to play.

Fanciful to say the least, what if the offer is no where near that are we supposed to continue legal action against a bankrupt company for the foreseeable future?

Hoping for the most possible but competitive pressure is paramount, try and be realistic ffs
