There are several possibilities, including that AVO might succeed. They have certainly survived until now and none of the major shareholders have bailed out.

[mrtruth1] 08/10/2017 11:15

So a wide variety of opinions etc. Let's see then.

[daijavu] 08/10/2017 10:38

I doubt if there might be a bid until LIGHT is much closer to full development, perhaps not until it is fully developed.

Any bid is likely to be at a premium on whatever the share price is then. If there is a bidding war the premium could be quite significant.

The successful bidder will probably make AVO a totally owned subsidiary so there will no longer be any AVO shares to own.

AVO shareholders might be offered cash or shares in the new parent company or a mixture of cash and shares.

What it might mean for a holding currently worth £10,000 would depend on the share price at the time of takeover and the premium it might attract. It is usual for an share price to rise on the rumour of a bid. It might even reach the price that the bidding company is offering as opportunists pile in to take advantage. You might hope for £20,000 or even more. Perhaps a lot more.

The main risk is that AVO might fail to obtain the funding necessary to survive and just go under or be picked up for a song while it is under administration. In that case you might get a lot less than £10,000.

The fact is that nobody knows

Having never sold any shares or seen a takeover, could you explain what this might mean with a holding of say £10,000 at the current SP?

AVO does not have "large debts" - in fact i guess it has net cash today. However bringing it to full commercial launch will require them to raise a lot of funds. Better they sell out to one of the majors at an early stage - no doubt the value will be a multiple of the market cap.

[glibgibon] 07/10/2017 22:02

I guess that would depend on whether it was a private company or public. They could make an offer for the company which would generally be at around 40%+ of the current share price or possibly give the option of transferring AVO shares into their company shares at a discount. That said, it is rare for companies with large debts to be taken over and AVO do not yet have a completed prototype.

[mrtruth1] 07/10/2017 13:01

What happens if another company take over?

[mrtruth1] 07/10/2017 12:29

Let's see what these rumours bring. Got a feeling we'll have to know soon, very soon. Risk = rewards IMO.

[daijavu] 07/10/2017 12:13

I am now a shareholder once more. I made the decision to take a punt again because there appears to be some hope of real progress in the next year or two.

However, this is still a very risky prospect and there is also a possibility that a bigger company could take AVO over before we have a chance of gaining the benefits of any success that AVO might achieve.

[escapetohome] 07/10/2017 11:14

The advice buy when others are fearful has been proved correct on this one.

My buy at bottom bore fruit - eventually

[mrtruth1] 06/10/2017 22:04

Such exciting developments. Don't forget the benefits for patients in all this.

[mrtruth1] 06/10/2017 19:37

I'm hoping this will be announced soon.

[igbertsponk] 06/10/2017 19:27

" not least because AVO is likely to require additional funding."A well researched article then.....

[mrtruth1] 06/10/2017 16:25

Each to their own opinion of course. Very happy with the past month. Onwards and very much upwards. GLA.

[igbertsponk] 06/10/2017 16:22

A video of a man thinking about digging a hole and a few basic on track technical updates that have pushed the opening date further back are not positive or de-risking.

[mrtruth1] 06/10/2017 16:10

You're sidestepping all the de-risking and positive updates. Let alone all the work behind the scenes that us mere investors don't see. Things have certainly changed and developed. Hugely IMO.

[igbertsponk] 06/10/2017 16:07

Can't see the current band of punters having the amount of cash that's needed. To be honest I can't see anyone else investing, with the problems of all the assets already pledged as part of other loans. Nothing has changed in the last few months since they mortgaged the kitchen sink. Still a bargepole share for me - I like the idea, but it belongs as a part of a large company who can finance the continual delays.

[glibgibon] 06/10/2017 15:56

Igbert - do you believe it will be institutional financing as opposed to a placing?

[mrtruth1] 06/10/2017 15:37

Couldn't resist a couple of hundred cheeky top up. Anything sub 38 is now, IMO, a ridiculous steal.

[johnjohntaylor] 06/10/2017 13:25

Actually you're wrong IMO. Fantastic week, on the road to excellent recovery and further benefit once financing is announced in the very near future.

[igbertsponk] 06/10/2017 12:47

Most amusing that punters on here seem to assume that because a batch of penny punters have shoved the price up a tad that this will have any effect on the price at which serious institutional money can be raised for this basket case of a company run by massively overpaid directors.
I love the idea, but the execution has been dismal.

[wi1l] 06/10/2017 11:45

Agreed. But it will only be long term if they arrange their finances accordingly. Will they get away with a placing at these rates, should think they might try that too now the price is above 25p (but for how long).
