20 percent discount
20 percent discount Surprised no one has mentioned the cost of the $15 million loan. It seemed great at 5% but I think this is the first time that the 20 percent discount on gold is mentioned plust the cost of setting it up means that the interest that is being paid is around 15 percent per year which seems high. They aslo gave away some shares which should be factored in and paid a sweetener to close the other loans which were 10 percent interest.
I calculate 20 percent discount plus 5% for 2 years plus 1 percent for setting it up and the 1 percent for the bridging loan.
I don't know if this is normal but the phrase that comes to mind is that Waterton had Gryphon by the short and curlies.
