I don't actually expect Ken to come back, its more the signalling of an industry heavyweight to extract max value, they did it before, ergo there is no reason why they won't do it again.

I see what IMECs place is, but its naive to think it will sell itself. Commercial sales processes aren't the same as retail, especially when there are a finite number of potential acquirers who then need to seek approval from their board/shareholders etc.

100% de-risking at 10c is good for whoever picks up your shares. Even when the IMEC process started it was trading around 4c. Personally, 4c to 10c does not reflect the risk/return profile of this stock, you could have invested in blue chip shares and had a 2.5x return. This is very high risk/very high return, not very high risk/2.5x return.
