Von Batten is a right wing gringo advisory firm hired by the DRC to lobby the gringo king on its behalf
AVZ Discussion 2022
- Thread starter GazDix
- Start date
My understanding is that AVZ blocked Felix's attemp to sell Manono to KoBold for an amount not worth putting to we the shareholders for consideration.
Felix can discourage other parties but it's our choice to sell if we can find a buyer. International courts will rule in our favour so we can prevent Felix from dealing with any law abiding nation and we can sue Zijin for their actions too. We're really only limited by finance and shareholder resolve.
I for one am resolved to vote no on anything less than fair value for what was stolen from us, plus penalties for what we've been put through. But if the next few months result in an offer the board recommends we accept, I'll consider it regardless. They know more than I do about our options.
On the other hand if it's a shit offer and we can fund further legal action, I'm prepared for a long fight.

I broadly agree with you on this.
Kobold's offer/s are likely to be what the majority of retail investors consider to be absolute dog shit.
My understanding is that Kobold initially came in below the lower end of the range August is referring to here. Before people fly off the handle, this is not the amount or range which I think is fair, but it is where Kobold are at from what I know.
So Von Batten are quite literally registered foreign agents working for Fat Bastard himself. I wonder how much lobbying a $20,000,000 tranfer from Rawbank may cover?
The part that stands out to me is perception management:
Makes it very clear why they're framing Belgium and France in a negative light for their attempts to bring Fat Bastard's criminal family to justice.
(Edited to correct Fat Bastard's name. He's definitely not fast.)

I hope that lobbying costs are not seen as bribes/brown paper bags.
Such a fine line...
I think the post from @Carlos gives you your answer mate. Von Batten are simply a paid lobbyist for DRC Govt aka Fat Boy. As far as August goes i think he is just a know it all who is full of shit. Claiming among other things that Kobold had exclusive rights re the framework agreement. This from the recent "official" announcement from AVZ
The Company is currently in discussions with several parties with respect to funding, who also share the Company’s optimism with respect to the Manono Project and the important role the DRC has to play in balancing global critical mineral supply chains. Whilst AVZ is not bound by any exclusivity obligations with Kobold or any other party, it will continue to pursue a competitive process to select a preferred counterparty in respect of a sale of AVZ's interest in the Manono Project, in co-operation with its obligations to its cornerstone investor.

Mate, I can see from the crapper you have been around AVZ and various other topics for years, contributing in a genuine way.
IMO, I think dave’s off-piste with his accusation of you being AugustV
I can’t see August asking a spammer to show her tits etc etc either, so lets all keep calm and carry on
