Before shareholders vote do they receive a valuation type report from some "independent" business analyst company? If so would this report be likely to provide some information of NTC's future earnings from 5G, NBN etc? I believe shareholders are entitled to know what seems to have gone wrong with their 5G strategy that the intrinsic value of the shares are only $1.10?
Surely for the directors to satisfy their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders they would need to have their rationale for selling at this low price documented. They need to explain how the company's future has been screwed up during a period when shareholders were being told how successful their 5G technology is. Also at 2018 AGM some four months ago there was the clear message that major contracts with Tier One contracts were well advanced however they were bound by commercial in confidence but expect good news. Directors need to inform shareholders of the contract situation, and perhaps (as we suspect) they haven't even reached preliminary contact stage.
100% correct on every point. The directors will need to face ASIC/ASX on either misleading shareholders on the true opportunity/value of 5G or why they have given the company away way under its intrinsic value.
You can bet the independent valuation report they have paid for with our cash will back their decision.
Just to show how crazy this deal is, Casa will buy nearly 20% of our company using our own $30M+ in cash!
