Re: [sharechat] AQL Issue

I wonder what you guys think the reasons behind using private placements as the method of choice for fund-raising are, given that rights issues have often been used in such cases where capital is needed. I wonder if this means that a sizeable acquisition has already been identified.

Could another possible reason be that the new direction is not quite as racy as we hope, ie not IT, but something more boring, meaning that a rights issue wouldnt be as well received by shareholders? Kind of hope I'm wrong about that, (esp. given my current exposure to AQL and AQLOA :-), but given the names associated with the company, any new venture will no doubt be spectacular. Looking forward to Feb 28.
