Yup, the prospectus talked about effecting a CVA and selling the assets concurrently with the sale of shares representing a controlling interest in Hearts. That means the UBIG shares. But there is no mention in this more recent advert of buying shares, it's just the "business and assets". If the administrator has the consent of Ukio to release the security, they would be able to do that, but without the consent of UBIG they can't sell shares and controlling interest.Quote:

Don’t think any of the chancers will have the money upfront that matches what UBIG and UKIO’s administrators want so it will be liquidation!
Maybe this is a Plan B, alongside the sale of the shares.Quote:

UKIO, and possibly UBIG, are secured and therefore have no say in a CVA.Quote:

BDO basically are looking for bidders without being sure if there's a seller.
BDO can only take the process so far until the men from Lithuania
are finished with the red tape:agree:
May I add this could take a long,long time
Apologies for being thick but does that mean its looking like newco is looking like the only realistic option?Quote:

I still have my doubts about whether that ad is genuine.Quote:

Perhaps, too, the McKie group have told them that they are pulling out.... since they won't get their desired outcome of the signing embargo being lifted.
EDIT:- I have just emailed the selling agent, asking them for clarification about the "SPL" issue. Their answer might give me an idea how genuine they are.
No she's not my cousin and not his personal secretary. I was making a point that it's not really Hibs class calling her a "munter" IMO. You never know who's looking in and there was no need for it.Quote:

I'm sure that I'm missing something here but it seemed important at one time.............................................. ......................Oh yes, now I remember, it concerned someone somewhere ( abroad I think) being due to be repaid £10million pounds in about a year or so.
That's approx £28,000 PER DAY without interest. If it's two years away then simply divide by two for another estimate.......Ach I'll do it for you £14,000 EVERY DAY.
Probably that will just be forgiven or put aside and no-one will ever look for repayment ever ever ever.... Think they maybe did just owe it to themselves or I've been dreaming.
GGTTH
Given the 'special relationship' enjoyed by those two massive clubs, I thought Barca might have stepped in and agreed to play a glamour friendly at Murrayfield for the financial benefit of their skint pink chums.
Forget Bayern, still smarting over their setback sustained at the hands of the Gorgie club in two world wars.
For else could step up and generate much-needed revenues with a showcase friendly?
The page count on this thread is going up again. Admins, can we have further sanctions?
How about a Kaunas vs Hearts showdown in the Submariner's Cup?
Winner gets their assets unfrozen and avoids liquidation.
Young Boys (Switzerland).
Surely they are intricately linked to our noncey neighbours?
Now that one would have appeal beyond the confines of Gorgie. Well, Kaunas.Quote:
