Hun beste besluit in 20 jaar...
Toch aardig van Marius dat hij niet zelf alles wil hebben, maar de believers volop mee laat delen in de 75 miljoen euro verlies tot op heden.
Ook wordt er nog even 16 miljoen afgeschreven op de vordering die ze hadden op AAT Ltd, maar dat is feitelijk wisselgeld op het totaal wat ze hebben weggepist.
Jos Haag wordt bedankt voor zijn inzet de afgelopen 3 jaar waardoor de koers is gedaald van E1,70 naar E0,00 en verlaat zoals vele voorgangers het zinkende schip.
Gelukkig neemt Marius nu het roer over, sinds zijn coup is de koers van het aandeel in een stabiele lijn van E6,50 naar E0,00 gegaan, dus dat belooft veel goeds voor de toekomst!
The Board of Directors of Antonov Plc wants to inform the market about the status of its subsidiary Antonov Automotive Technologies Ltd (“AAT Ltd”) and the potential consequences this will have for Antonov Plc.
Antonov Plc has acquired the intellectual property of the TX-6 and will probably acquire most of the other assets of AAT Ltd as well, having been decided that AAT Ltd will go into voluntary liquidation.
Antonov Plc has been willing, as part of the transaction on the intellectual property of the TX-6, to write off its loans to AAT Ltd (GBP 12,031,00 per 31st December 2010).
In order to give Antonov Plc a chance to receive further funding and to survive the difficult situation the company is in, Mr Marius Ritskes will take responsibility as an Interim Chairman & CEO of Antonov Plc. The Board of Directors of Antonov Plc feels it should support Mr Ritskes in this attempt to save Antonov Plc.
For this purpose Dr Jos E. Haag, who has served the company for over 3 years as an Executive Chairman, has retired as a Director and a CEO as off today, which has been accepted by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Mr Ritskes will take over his positions as off today as an Interim Chairman and CEO and has been appointed as such by the Board of Directors of Antonov Plc.
Mr Ritskes prefers this model instead of taking the company private, thus giving all Antonov Plc shareholders equal chances.
