"CDC wanted to change the terms of a six-year convertible note from Nigeria’s Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) which would translate to about 13.2 per cent equity and thus water down the CDC stake. Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...sh14b-arm-venture"
Question: How would that water down CDC's stake given there must have been a conversion price as long as the conversion price the same or higher than what CDC paid? 5bn for a 13.2% shareholding would have valued ARM at 38bn 6bn (including penalties) for a 13.2% shareholding would have valued ARM at 45bn Greedy when others are fearful.

“CDC wanted to do their own fundraising, but as time went we had the short repayment schedules piling,” Paunrana said. Then ARM sought to engage a development finance institution (DFIs) to help it restructure the debts but the conditions were unpalatable to CDC. " Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...ot-in-sh14b-arm-venture
What does this mean? Did CDC want to be the primary lender to ARM? Or did CDC want to negotiate with the other DFIs? Wouldn't CDC have been part of the team that negotiated with the DFIs? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

"Between May and June, the management put across a proposal for restructuring loans by cutting at least Sh5 billion and improving Tanzania’s cash flows but the talks fell through in the second round." Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...ot-in-sh14b-arm-venture
This does not make sense or is incomplete. How would management cut 5bn from the loans? ARM either sold off or planned to sell off part of the business to Omya. Did this sale include a 5bn debt owed by the chemicals subsidiary i.e. Omya would have assumed 5bn in debt? Greedy when others are fearful.

"Under the terms, CDC would put in money but as a shareholder loan which they wanted to ring-fence, giving the facility a Super Senior Security status which would rank above the existing lenders." Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...ot-in-sh14b-arm-venture
This makes sense to me from CDC's point of view. If CDC was going to give 5bn in NEW money then why shouldn't they get the senior-most position for that 5bn? I would assume any lender giving ARM additional NEW money, as a loan, at that low point would want to "top dog" to recover their funds first. That 5bn would have been critical i.e. as working capital to restart the business. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I believe there is a provision in the new Insolvency Act or another Act which says that a listed company in administration cannot trade until the administration is lifted. ARM should remain suspended from trading until the administration is lifted which is just as well in this bear market.
I am a long term shareholder and comfortable and optimistic for the future.

It’s unlikely the suspension will be lifted until a resolution is negotiated between the “elephants” like CDC and the banks. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
