Backgound to GEM financing deal and ongoing selldown (Canuck81)

Back in March 2020, FYI signed an A$80M equity facility with GEM which included 46.7M options @ 15c.

Aside from A$3.13M the equity facility still remains in place however the options have been fully converted to shares.

In hindsight, this wasn't the best deal for FYI but we don't know what impact this had on the negotiations with Alcoa. GEM still holds 14M+ shares which up until a few days ago were selling a few hundred thousand per day. They will likely sell down to zero but are careful with their selling, unlike Regal who are a bit brutal when they decide to exit a stock. There's still a chance we'll see a large block sale related to these shares.
