My thoughts were AVZ would break the deal rather than Cath walking away. The reason being we aren't tied to giving up 24%. But I agree, I'd imagine they would happily negotiate a lower %
Very true, I see it as a positive that it hasn't been broken, a downramper could say its because we're screwed and know we aren't going to get there but I would argue that AVZ has been trying to do things right from the get go. A deal is a deal sort of perspective from the BOD. Also the fact CATH haven't told us to fuck off/cut and run is another positive. Unless your a downramper then you might say they've only stuck around to save their 20m.
In hindsight I think they would have been better to get on the front foot rather than trying yo sort this out from 2 steps behind but that's the rose tinted hindsight glasses.It's true but I think we need to consider how corruption muddies the waters in what otherwise might be a clear cut situation.
It's fairly clear at this point (imo) that the ASX heve decided whatever justification AVZ have give for the seeming lack of disclosure is credible.
Stands to reason to me that the ASX probably knows far more about the situation than we do and have let the suspension stand based on that information.
Full disclosure on corrupt practices of another sovereign nation against the actual law gives a bit of leeway for consideration outside of what otherwise might seem an open shut case imo.
It's been said before but there is clearly something in it or the voluntary suspension would not have stood for as long as it has to date.
None of this means that the company couldn't have started acting on the situation a lot sooner. I'm inclined to agree that they've stayed in their little Perth bubble sucking up wages and freebies as our asset has been undermined and threatened while they've known this type of situation has been a huge risk for us all along.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, morale of the story is we don't know shit and all we have is rumours and vague ASX releases to go off. For richer or poorer it will all come out in the wash.
