It looks as if MA has agreed to sell under the agreement that PCP doesn’t have to pay it all upfront. Docs suggest this is a deferred consideration (i.e. MA sells the club and PCP pay later, with MA getting security over PCPs assets until it’s paid). #NUFCTakeover https://twitter.com/NUFC360/status/1249993079454674944
This means that if Staveley doesn’t pay up, he can take the cash out of their accounts or enforce security over PCPs assets that he can sell to pay himself off. #NUFCTakeover
Usually the finance docs are signed at the same time as the SPA (main acquisition doc), which could have split exchange/completion meaning there could be further conditions that need to be met before it completes. #NUFCTakeover
It's pretty common for a large acquisition to be lead by one person and backed by a consortium - so doesn't rule out or suggest who else is involved. #NUFCTakeover
