Thoughts on AAIG & Halo?

I have just read your reply to Michael RE Halo IPO whilst researching the inner workings of AAIG. I became an AAIG shareholder in March 2020 after ASRW sold me on the idea with a 30% guaranteed return on investment via a deed poll with ASRW underwriting the AAIG IPO for 35c a share. ( purchase price 27c a share). I had just signed up to ASRW. That capitol raising was for 7 mill. (6 or so months later I came across another similar AAIG capitol raising proforma this time for 15m). So far no AAIG IPO but their flagship HALO business has had its IPO listing just recently. HAL Down 25% day 1, down 50% by day 4. The HAL IPO issued me with about 12000 shares at the full pre IPO price of $1.20 which came out of my AAIG capitol input since my AAIG shares were then devalued from 27c to 19.6c. My 2 questions: Can AAIG be considered to vaguely represent a SPAC (Special Purpose Aquisition Vehicle type company? and With AAIG financial returns indicating 5 - 6 mill losses for the past 3 years at least and a deed poll underwriting a 35c share price on a now 20c share (75% profit) , what is the likelyhood or (was there ever) of an AAIG IPO? Thanks

Hi Anthony,

Sorry to hear you’ve had that experience, this sort of thing simply should not happen. I covered some thoughts on the HALO IPO Here before they listed highlighting my concerns around how this was all structured. Essentially, it seems to me that AAIG shareholders funded HALO yet they only hold ~30% of the stock with the remaining 70% owned by the guys behind it. Think about that for a second,  Company A, which is highly unprofitable and survives by raising money, generally from their customers, funds company B’s product. When it’s built, Company A only ends up owning 30% of Company B, the guys behind company A own ~70% personally.

Unfortunately, Anthony, I think there is very little chance of AAIG listing,  they are burning capital as you have rightly pointed out, and I can’t see much value in their assets. I hope I’m wrong.
