BRN Discussion Ongoing

[manny100]

I haven’t had time to fully digest all the information yet, so the following is my VERY preliminary opinion, for what little that counts.

That said, at first glance, this appears as though it could be the Board’s way of nudging shareholders toward accepting a predetermined sale price, potentially around $1.00 per share, possibly to a party like ARM, for instance.

I don't know what else to make of this to be honest.

From page 4 of the report. Probably already been posted.
" We see ARM Holdings as potential acquirer due to its size, resources, proximity/affiliation, and similarity in business model. Consumer electronics, automotive, and IoT are industries that ARM operates in but has less than 50% market share; These are industries where Edge AI is likely to be applied and BrainChip’s technology may be the one of the avenues for ARM to further penetrate this field."

Would the report not be posted on their website, has it? I can't find it bit that doesn't mean much. Is anyone able to post the link from their website. Many thanks

well they will need to pay an ARM and a leg for us. After all we integrate perfectly with them. So makes sense to me. Softbank did something right by floating ARM. So it may be a race between Nvidia now and ARM to make a fair bid for us. As I said got to be at least and ARM and a leg, we are a full body inc the dodgy knees.

If an arm and a leg is expensive, my question is how much is a brain worth?

BILLIONS!!

 

[jrp173]

For once BrainChip have got something right. They'd have to be mad to release the video the AGM.

Then Antonio's disrespectful behaviour and clear disdain towards Australian shareholders would be evident for all to see, forever on the internet.

Pathetic excuse though, considering they have released AGM videos from previous years with seeking permission from shareholders who attended.

Get a grip people.
Some mob of self appointed experts has put out a report forecasting possible futures.
Remember a year or so ago, when that shorter mob put out theirs, citing all the red flags?
Remember how the shills and manipulators over on the crapper seized upon it and gleefully used it to sow Fear Uncertainty Doubt?
Same game, different alias's who are now colonising here as well.
Buy Sell Hold. These are our options at any given point in time.
All the wanna be catastrophising and doom calling is either intended manipulation or else just standard trolling.
Don't get sucked into their game.

That movie is on my "I'm too scared to watch it list"

Well thanks to Mercedes, those that got caught up in that whirlwind won't be overly excited. I say at least $2ish and then Brainchip board can sleep a bit better at night. But time will tell I guess. I know PVDM will want the best for ALL shareholders involved and well maybe just maybe Sean will too. I went back over a couple of videos with Steve Brightfield at CES and Sean with that funny Tech X guy and if anyone hasn't seen them worth a look. The positivity in these guys in these 2 videos is real. so let's go brn. The truth lies in its promise, now where did i hear that before

Happy Thurs fellow brners

"I know PVDM will want the best for ALL shareholders involved and well maybe just maybe Sean will too. "

How do you know this?

IMO, I don't think he or anyone else at BRN are concerned with the best for Shareholders. In his case, a buyout at $1 will be enough and equivalent to allowing 160 people to retire. In Sean's case, not as much, but enought to not have a care in the world, let alone work as a CEO for any other company.

I'd say the share price will do what it has to do, if I was making money from salary and bonuses working at BRN, but unfortunately I'm one of the many funding them.
Fortunately, or unfortunately in this world, people do whats best for themselves first and foremost before considering anyone else. Sean and Antonio fit this agenda, and as Peter said in the AGM, Sean has his full support.

You all make up your own minds on whats happening. As a shareholder for more than 10 years, I for one am very disappointed with the state of affairs.
(...and I hope I am wrong)

May be based on the old premise that the one sure thing in investing is that BOD's look after themselves (money, power, prestige and reputation).
On that theory if they do well so do we.
A BOD's primary duty is to the entity which should align with the longer-term interest of holders. This is despite some of many holders being unhappy with short term noise.
Conversely if they do not want the best for holders it implies we are all stuffed including the BOD (for us financially, loss of power and reputation at home etc).

 

[Guzzi62]

Are they upholding their primary duty?

AI:
A company's Board of Directors (BOD) has a primary duty to ensure the company's success and prosperity by effectively directing its affairs, while also meeting the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. This involves strategic planning, oversight, and ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.

I will assume they are well aware of this and try their best!

I doubt very much the outcome would have been different with another BOD.

They okayed Sean's 5-year plan and I think we are on the right path and will give them benefit of doubt until the next AGM.

 

[manny100]

Are they upholding their primary duty?

That is for holders to decide when they vote at AGMs'. So far they have had support.
They have a 5 year plan in place and they should not let short term noise get in the way.
No doubt they review the plan on a regular basis.

Looks like Brainchip is now with Meta, I’ve always thought the Meta Quest should have Brainchip Akida built in. It’s a perfect fit. Akida’s neuromorphic, event-based architecture excels at ultra-low power edge processing, which is exactly what devices like the Meta Quest need. By offloading tasks like eyeball tracking, gesture recognition, and facial emotion detection to Akida, the headset could achieve faster response times, lower power consumption, and greater privacy by keeping AI inference on-device. This would enable more natural interactions, better immersive experiences, and extended battery life—without relying on cloud processing or bulky compute resources.

above is Meta's interview with Yann Lecun where he mentions his coleagues are very interested in neuromorphic processes / spiking neural networks because of their ability to constantly process inference without draining a battery

 

[White Horse]

@White Horse, my concern is that this report has been commission by BrainChip. BrainChip provided the information to Trim, and BrainChip signed off AND published the findings.

If BrainChip though the report was a crock of shite, why would they have published it publicly?

They own the report and did not have to publish it... so I'm at a loss as to what is happening here...

Hi jpr173,
Very good question.!
Firstly because the report is based on fiction. They really are basing a lot of what is written on presumptions that really have no merit.
And we as shareholders are only to aware, that there is a lack of transparency from our management, for what ever reason. And if management have told them information that we are not privy to, then we really have some problems.
Lets go back to the quarterly. This document was apparently approved by the BOD. Not any particular individual. Does this explain Antonio's Faux Pas at the AGM. Did he ever read the document.? Because to use the vernacular he was swearing black and blue, that he was correct about the domiciling.
As Diogenese and FMF have discussed, their are a lot areas that really don't add up under scrutiny.
And to use ARM as a yardstick of sorts, for our possible future value, is more than fanciful, for something that is supposed to be a professional examination of our prospects.
Who in management was responsible for wasting our money.?

I am placing my hopes for this company, with the likes of Jonathon Tapson, Anthony Lewis and Steve Brightfield and others to carry us through.
