I think id been reading this last bit out of context yesterday:
"More importantly, it should be noted:
• the Company’s evidence (compiled in connection with its ICC arbitration proceedings) in relation to the potential improper and illegal conduct of a number of the parties involved, significantly restricts AVZ’s ability to entertain these proposals without exposing AVZ, and its directors and officers to potential criminal liability under Australia’s anti bribery and corruption legislation, together with other applicable international bribery and corruption laws; and
(We cant do anything illegal duh)
• the Company has already invested considerable time and money exploring the resolution of matters with the DRC Government and the other parties on the basis of a significant compromise of AVZ’s legal rights.
(We looked at some other options that would have basicially rat fucked us becase we give away all our legal rights)
Past tense, not present tense
