CZO is in play

Happy 2024 lets hope it is better than 2023. Gilles has put CZO in play. He did it for his own selfish reasons but he has now done it. THe process completley ignored shareholder interests but it is now done. It is our job now to get a competing offer. Anyone who still has an actual live broker make sure to tell them, anyone who is actually in the business tell your collegues and bosses. I have rreached out to several companies already. To my mind the ideal buyer is around 100 miilion market cap and profiable with a compatible business in the health wellness sector. Willing to do an all share deal that would give us 40ish percent of the newco, Most importantly we need young agressive engaged mangers to finally get us the growth we have all been waiting years for. Ceapro at 15 million market cap and 8 or 9 million cash is ripe for the plucking so lets find a good buyer and beat Gilles and Ronnie at their own game.

You probably have about 2 years to make a deal - at that point  cash will run out  aezs run significant losses - it's possible the growth hormone test device may not make any roads into markets and at best would deliver small revenues anyway CZo seem to have lost their base business and don't have any pipeline products coming through this decade

They have enough funds to execute, if Gilles can't or doesn't want to do it as shown by his eagerness to sell CZO below liquidation value, he needs to be shown the door... “While the base business has been significantly impacted during the first nine months of 2023 due to various economic factors and organizational changes in one major customer, we remain in a solid financial position and ...more
