BRN Discussion Ongoing

[BigDonger101]

Those talking about a second strike really have no idea what that brings. They think it's the automatic sacking of the board. It's not. The board will get re-elected because the majority of shareholders support them.

For example
They get this second strike that they are craving.
The SP tumbles even more, uncertainty sets in.
Then what?

Who's going to want to work for a company that has shareholders as unstable as some in here. That is a serious question btw.

I don't think management are fussed about the second strike. Highly doubt it would be any where near the amount of votes needed lol.

I do think share holders who are threatening for this second strike are doing so out of spite. Sean has not told any lies & has said why the ASX is quiet.

If anyone can prove me wrong? More than happy for you to quote something from him which is contradicting.

Tony on the other hand. He does state things and then doesn't live up to them. How ever he is our investor relations.

Cheers

IF NO new SHORTS being issued (low number < 800,000 + average) then ACCUMULATION is being undertaken.
Question is...........are current SHORTS being closed out? Must wait 1-2 wks to get this data.

ANY ACCUMULATION is a good sign of change!

The BUY/SELL is being held back to accumulate @ 0.20c currently.

The 2 strike rule is just a convenient way for shareholders to bitch about the board. I don't think the shareholders have a follow through plan. Even with a 88% vote against its remuneration report in 2018, NAB did not have to sack the board, the chairman and CEO simply resigned (out of shame/disgust?) and everyone was happy. I am obviously not a very knowledgeable person but I have never heard of a company which board was spilled due to 2 strikes.

Hi bravo,

I don’t think that Tony is extremely confident when using words like “IF” and “HOPE” in his reply but I’m sure BRN management and staff are doing all they can before the next scheduled AGM in May 24.

Happy to be corrected.

Cheers

He can't say "WILL" because he really doesn't know. IMO, using "IF" and “HOPE” doesn't diminish his confidence. They believe they'll have demonstrated ability to commercialise its technology and generate revenue. The deadline is May 2024 but he seems confident it will happen before then.

This is the lowest 3 day accumulative total of daily shorting I've seen in years. They bought back 250k more than they shortered on the 15th.

The second strike will happen if a lot of shareholders think that the board has sent to company in the wrong direction and are too weak to change.

Renesas taped out m85 with akida Dec 2022. So who will pay for the production? Somehow there has been a disconnect between Brainchip's selling the akida IP to customers and the manufacturing of a chip containing Akida by Renesas.

A Chicken and Egg problem.

If in June 2024 there hasn't been a break through or the board can't explain themselves then the vote could go either way. There's plenty of ways to avoid it:
1. Renesas is convinced to get the taped out chip manufactured
2. An OEM starts using the AKD1500 and orders in bulk
3. Megachips does something.

The board should be excited by the challenge.

I'd really like to know where the heck they will find the 101 mill shares to buy back on a whiff of good news seriously... I'd be shitting myself if I was them now. Volume is crazy low as it is. Perhaps some will dump on 100% profit but what of all the conservative investors who will also want to buy in on positive news etc etc...I see this hitting 5 dollars or something stupid just to cover shorts... unless they bail out slowly but the numbers aren't showing they are just yet.

Or Merc uses Akida in their brand new 2024 vehicles using the MMA platform, the full blown version of MB.OS, enhanced MBUX, enhanced ADAS and 4 microcontrollers for the first time. They begin being released in the 1st quarter of 2024 and further models rolled out during the year.

Afternoon Chippers ,

Regarding the Short position....

I posted this a while ago , these are my thoughts on what may be going on.
Naturally there would be many small independent Shorters .

One way a big company could potentially F@%k with a far smaller one.

Esq.

When this particular worm turns its going to be epic.
Cant wait for this next ride.

I'd be paying closer attention from now and over the next couple of months. The only anti-dote to shorters is the short term prospect of consistent sustainable increasing revenue. Revenue and it's direction in the short to medium term is all they care about. PLS is the most shorted stock on the ASX and CHI-X. PLS's revenue hasn't stopped, just decreased because of lithium prices. They're still making decent coin.

It's why they ignored the recent release of the new version of Akida. It had zero affect on the short term revenue outlook. If they begin quietly and consistently buying back in the next few months, it will be a leading indicator in which they believe consistent sustainable revenue is around the corner.

 

[Pom down under]

I would seriously question the motives/agendas of those advocating for a second strike…

I just follow the flow

 

[Schnitzel lover]

Judging from the email @Schnitzel lover received from Tony, I believe Tony is extremely confident of avoiding a second strike.

To flip it around, I look at it as though Tony is basically confirming that if BrainChip fails to achieve further commercialisation and revenue before the next AGM then a second strike is warranted.

Only someone who was absolutely confident of being able to meet the terms described in order to avoid any prospect of a second strike would write this IMO. And, if anything it lends further confidence to things moving in the right direction in a "sooner" time-frame.

Watch the financials.. Late January and H2 2023 release in Feb or March..

New IP signings seem to be the most likely material engagements before the AGM..

See what happens

Progda..........correct on the SHORTER buyback. I Believe it is currently in play.


PLS issue being heavily shorted (20%) though is possibly not related as such to the normal ASX aussie traders.

ELON MUSK recently stated that 70% of all Lithium TESLA uses comes from AUSTRALIA! Only 2 companies supplying that and PLS is the main source.
SO.......in the dog eat dog world which we live in...........it is much "Cheaper" and easier to interfere with the SUPPLY CHAIN to Tesla to cause TESLA issues than it is to attack Tesla stock itself.
WHO would have a vested interest in doing so??
Any and ALL Oil companies, Middle East interests, Car company competitors etc etc. AND it would cost peanuts to do so! Gotta keep the Oil flowing!
It would also be a possible way for Shorters to benefit Shorting of Tesla stock. Small investment Shorting PLS and MASSIVE profits Shorting TESLA. win/win.

Surprised that Elon or TESLA have not bought out PLS to secure their supply chain of Lithium, would make sense.

Hard to see. If, on the other hand we see an announcement before June 2024 stating that Valeo or Luminar or similar are investing $100M into Brainchip to make it happen, then it's game on.

Otherwise the board can pack up their personal belongings and we can start afresh. Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear but that's the risk we all are taking imho.
