In it's current financial position, if SB called up his debts, shareholders would get nothing in the event of the company winding up unless they can sell off its assets, i.e Agate Creek, to enable all Secured creditors and CN holders to be first satisfied.
BUT, the actual shares themselves will be worthless and unable to be traded.
Shareholders will be entirely in the hands of the liquidator.
BUT, I can't see SB putting the company into liquidation, as a liquidator would have to be involved and have complete control of all of Laneway's assets.
I would imagine that IF he took any action, he'd probably do a buy out with some token payment to shareholders. Remembering that there is "supposedly", "nominally" $600 million of gold in just 10% of the Agate Creek Licence.
In any case, even if SB doesn't shoot himself and all of us in the foot, I'm sure that for some reason he hates us pissy shareholders and it would just further antagnoize him. He could just let this drag for another 10 years. HE holds all the aces.
It took Cobbolod Gorge Tours 15 years to settle their TO agreement with the Ewamain People!!
As a shareholder, I'm not being unreasonable in asking if there just MIGHT be a problem being created. All shareholders should be equally concerned. Amen.
