Be realistic and knowing the real problem
The problem is with ANS/WAPRC
Please see the SDL update few days ago. ANS/WAPRC still can not satisfy the ASX conditions such as source of funds for relisting. What is the status of WAPRC application lodgment to China's NDRC office where Chinese government needs to approve for WAPRC's investment of $100 million in ANS, Australia? What has been happening? The answer: NO UPDATE.
Let us face the reality. The delay has nothing to do with the Mbalam convention extension since ANS said in previous announcement, if the SDL and ANS deal does not go through as stated in the agreement, they will use $58 million allocated to SDL for other projects. Noteholders should see this sign and should not be locked for another 4 months until 31 March 2019 for something which is not certain. Noteholders should take over SDL as stated in previous agreement with SDL by converting the debts to shares and becoming controlling shareholders in SDL and SDL will be debt free. When it is debt free, it is easy to offer SDL to other investors.
Extract from SDL announcement:
