It’s going to be amusing. Now, would you want to buy up the shares knowing that after 30 June it won’t be traded again? Or it may come back to trade once it is “cleaned Up” I’ve had experience with LVT on this. It’s tough to bring a company back unless you’re the sole owner with tonnes of capital….

90%….I was being a tad optimistic with my estimate.
