SYME fked
Anyone want to translate the SYME RNS for us plebs?
Death spiral finance

Not good and will weigh constantly on the sp
For sure the conversion will weigh on the SP, but as the conversion price is 100% of the VWAP from the previous days it doesn't seem too terrible? As I said on the previous post I could be missing something though
They'll be forward selling each tranche

Sure, but since there is no discount that's not the end of the world? (although I guess they will take advantage of any spike to do so and cream a bit more off the deal)

The worst thing is probably that the deal is structured like this anyway, with funding where the loan will be converted and equity is likely to be dumped onto the market rather than them finding someone to issue shares to as a long term holder.

With this in place now, there is no excuse not to get the acquisition finalised and the overdue accounts published...

I’m oscillating between it been bad and good news:

Good news: TF acquisition can go ahead and I do think Syme plus tf is a case of 1+1=3

Bad news: would have preferred a reputable II to have come on board to fund tf like they said. Too many things Syme say don’t happen. Having run a few start ups myself I know the plan evolves so I’d prefer they keep their traps shut a bit til stuff happens rather than raise false promises.

I was enjoying Syme which is my only/main gamble, today has taken the fun out of them.

The whole thing depends on doing the first IM, until then all news and accounts is a side show.

Anyone not losing patience with EUA?
FTFY

I have faith but f me it’s trying my patience. Every day I wonder am I a mug?
I do a lot of reading on eua and the resources they have seen genuine and if they got on and mined them themselves they’d pay a good divvy for a long time to come. Various papers written by various organisations suggest the resources are there; they can’t, I hope, all be wrong.

Trouble is everything in the mining world seems to decades to realise and I’m starting to think I’m too old to wait for it all to pan out. It’s more a timescale issue than a gamble to me now.

I’m hoping for decent special divvy in the next 6 months then a decent annual divvy from 5 years from now. So many permutations though of what could happens it’s anyone’s guess.

The biggest risk for me is that it’s in Russia. What happens if putin dies tomorrow etc? I’d prefer Canada, Australia etc.

Biggest issue for me is I set myself a false expectation on when it would go pop. I’m now trying to be more realistic and just think end of 2020. In reality I need it to go pop in 3 years time so need to reset my expectations and then I’ll feel more relaxed about the whole thing.

Snap. My eua crapped from a great height. That crap hit Syme who simultaneously crapped themselves. All in all crap upon crap. Expecting several more weeks of this.

It's good news in that they shouldn't imminently run out of money!

I'm not sure about your maths, especially as the "1's" are based on what SYME say and that hasn't proven to be at all reliable so far. Given how misleading they have been so far, I don't see why everything should suddenly be fine if they get some IM done.

Re syme for an idea of how the sp will most likely go, look at ukog since they started issuing shares like confetti, syme may well follow suit, if no one wants to finance them and this is the only option they have it doesn't bear well for the future ime.

Good summary

Also the BOD are decent and have tended to deliver what they say, even if it takes longer.

Anyone partaking in the Yellow Cake offer via Primary Bid? Not a great discount but sounds an interesting company.

Just came on here to ask the same. Minimum investment is £250.

2 hrs of research time left!

I learned about CLN's the hard way through Hemo. Look at the share price drop from August 2020 up until last month. The BOD paid off the CLN through a placing due to the damage caused by only loaning around £6 million of the original £12 mil.

The placing threw 400 million shares on the market but it was the best thing that could of happened. The company has now started to recover

Problem about CLNS's is that any rise in SP then gets dumped on by the loan facility converting loan notes. Ive also read that some loan facility's short the stock aswell to further profit on the drop in SP. I have not read the actual detail of the loan from SYME or the caveats involved but i will never invest in a company that goes down this road of financing.

Obviously all my opinion from a bad experience

I'm not close to options for Sharia compliant financing so I may be clutching at straws to talk myself into not selling, but CLNs providing no interest is charged is a way for them to raise money and keep halal. I'm very nervy over this development though as it's been poor RNS after another with lots of missed, self imposed deadlines with this the icing on the cake.

re SYME. I think the share price tells me all I need to know. It’s not a good day for SYME. Sucker stock.

I don't think Sharia would apply to how SYME is financed, just the product that they offer to customers?
