This is a real "all or nothing" last roll. I hope so, I really hope so. It's just that we've been hoping for this for years, fed by fibs from the likes of Phil Mac Plastic and yet they keep blundering on like indestructible zombies. And I mean zombies in some crappy neverending US drama, not the classier 60s Hammer Films ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 On 25/01/2019 at 18:03, DesertDawg said: And today's Herald..... A KEY Rangers board member has warned that the club cannot continue to run on loans indefinitely - as chairman Dave King made a court-ordered £8m offer to buy out most of the shareholders. John Bennett, chairman of the club's independent directors, made the comments while advising shareholders over the pros and cons of taking part in the offer. When the club announced pre-tax losses had more than doubled for a second consecutive year to £14.3million last year, the board said Mr King's New Oasis Asset Limited would provide additional loans as necessary. The board said in October that the latest forecasts indicate at least £4.6m was required for the rest of this season and a further £3m was needed for 2019/20. However, the independent auditor from Campbell Dallas accepted a failure to secure the additional funds would result "in the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to the group's ability to continue as a going concern". Mr Bennett in written advice on the financial prospects of the club over Mr King's offer said: "Rangers International Football Club plc is loss making and is supported by loans from the directors and other key shareholders. This cannot continue indefinitely." He said financial support was partly addressed by September's £12m share issue and there would be two further share issues. But he added: "Going forward it will become necessary to resolve the flow of losses incurred by the company. The independent Directors believe this is achievable subject to the two share issues proceeding as planned." An ex-employee of Campbell Dallas told me that Rangers will only accept a Rangers fan as partner on the job - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Probably nothing before next Friday. The offer closes at 1pm on 15 February. Laird (King) is required to make an announcement of the number of acceptances by 8am on the next business day (Monday 18 February). If there are enough acceptances to take the Concert Party over the 50% threshold (needs acceptances for just over 23m shares), then the offer will be declared unconditional. In that event the offer will remain open for a further 14 days for further acceptances. Should there not be enough acceptances, then the offer will close and that will be that. It is possible, but highly unlikely, that Laird could declare the offer unconditional before the closing date if they already have enough acceptances before then, but that would not align with King's M.O. of doing everything at the last minute. I suspect that there will be insufficient acceptances to reach the 50% threshold and that the offer will lapse with no further requirement placed on King. King has already incurred significant legal costs throughout this saga (maybe as much as £1m), and the offer document indicates that actually making the offer will cost him a further £606k. RIFC will also incur costs of £52k, mainly for legal advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
