I don't see how you keep asking why this "question remains unanswered" when it's been answered multiple times and you keep skipping over it despite claiming to "understand where the company was at the time".

It was a deal made to benefit Sayona long term and to reward Piedmont in the space of a single year for aiding in an acquisition Sayona would not have been able to make otherwise. If they hadn't made the deal, you would likely not he able to be making your constant claims on how much of a "monster" you believe Sayona will be.

Saying shareholders are "gasping for air" is a huge reach, we're sacrificing some of, not all of, a year's profit for a long-term resource base that will bring the company and by extension the shareholders many multiples of the value Piedmont recieves in year one over many more years to come.

Stop claiming to be viewing it long term when you're seemingly ignoring the explanations people are providing while hyperfixating on and overdramatising the retension of a deal that was one of the biggest steps to Sayona's present position and success that is only impacting us NEXT YEAR and no further.

It's a blip on the radar and you're acting like it's an anchor on your ankle, and your claims to be viewing it long term and waiting until 2025 to assess it's likely future seem like nonsense to be honest given you're seeming to assess it's likely future and the ethics and efficacy of a proven director based on one of THE DEALS that made the company what it is, and their insistence on abiding by that deal instead of weaselling their way out of it.

If you expect BL to find a way around a deal that has a near nonexistent impact on us in the near term even, let alone the long term, after being so reliant on that company to get where we are, you need to find a company whose director is a snake instead of asking for answers to questions you've been provided a number of answers to by people that respect Brett's ethical approach to business.

You're being more than a lottle silly to be completely frank.
