My thoughts on announcement

1. We had 2 banks and one has "BOUGHT OUT" the other. This effectively means that that the Dutch bank has invested further into MAE. I have not seen ANY banks in the last 2 years increase their exposure to a company unless they have done significant DD. I assume that Karl Loumann's relationships are with the Dutch bank.

2. A bank DOES NOT "invest" signifiacnt further funds into a business and then not support the business.

3. Investors should read between the lines and understand this is a significant announcement.

4. The bank clearly has confidence that management can execute their business plan.
