Q: Why Change Ansonโs Board?
We support Anson's assets
We support management
We support the technical direction
However, the Board does not have the engineering and commerical capability to develop the Company's resources. This phase will be determined by managing risk, progressing development certainty, commercial execution, financing, strategic partnerships and capital allocation - not further exploration. Decision making is dominated by Mr Richardson as CEO and Chairman. None of the directors have successfully developed a resource project so they do not know what is required. The time and money spent on $50m raised for Paradox with no disclosure shows poor development risk management and lack of accountability. Shareholders have been very patient. This Board has had enough time. We now need change.
All directors are employees of the Company. So there is no management oversight and directorsโ remuneration is excessive. Directors are very well paid despite slow progress. Shareholders bear the risk of delays and dilutionary capital raises. Directors propose share grants on milestones which have not yet added to shareholder wealth. Directors profit while shareholders do not. The low share price tells the story.
A: Shareholders must be treated as owners and Anson needs added capability to develop its assets
Management held to account by the Board
Remuneration reset โ reduce cash burn, align share grants with shareholdersโ interests
Development-stage leadership, not exploration-stage leadership
Financing and partnership execution capability
Formulate a plan and a coherent equity story and communicate transparently - milestones and progress - to keep shareholders informed
