Merger of Almonty / WOF
A few few things need to be looked at from a more realistic / pragmatic point of view.
Numerous board members are highlighting that we are now all "screwed" since Almonty will merge/takeover WOF with a low ball offer. Its not that simple for them.....
Amonty will certainly have a fair chance in obtaining control of WOF by taking over 51% of the shares; there will always be shareholders who sell at the first offer.
But please keep in mind, Almonty taking control of WOF would certainly be the best that could happen. They are evidently the ones that can bring this mine into production. So personally I hope they succeed in taking over control soon.
To go even further, should Almonty ultimately want full ownership they initially have to obtain at least 90% of all shares. They will certainly not be able to achieve this with a low ball offer. I personally own approx. 1,5% of the outstanding shares (without further details I will certainly not accept anything lower than 0.2 CAD), so only another 8,5% of dissenting offeres are needed from all the other shareholders to stop them from initiating a squeeze-out transaction. That can be achieved by the majority of small shareholders or just one additional major shareholder.
As you can see, we are far from being forced to accept any low ball offer.
Unless they do not provide us a serious offer (based on real value, NPV) I expect to become a shareholder in the future merged company of Almonty/WOF; which I can gladly accept.
As usual we have not been given much and we dont know whats happening in the background, but with what we know now I consider us having a brighter futuer ahead of us than a few weeks ago.

I got around 860k or so and I'll vote owith you on a no sell on an offer less than 0.2 CAD I only have a bite more than .2%, but between all of us I bet we come up with control of alot more shares than the 5% or so we mustered the last time we had to stamp on management.

Thanks Lonade. I didn't know that Almonty needed 90% of all shares to have full control. I thought that with 51% of all shares they would have the power to do pretty much what they wanted to do.

Thank you Lonade. I was a bit surprised so I think that I misunderstood. And yes, I agree, Almonty seems like a great company to get this done.
