I feel that Bill Meury (Chair of Crown and Hildred Capital Senior Adviser) will not want over 1 year of hard work and expense to slip away at just a $0.50/share higher price = $52M. Background of Bill Meury: https://www.hildred.com/team/bill-meury Allergan's Chief Commercial Officer from 2015 to 2020. Bill was with Actavis in 2014 and was instrumental along with Brent Saunders in blocking Valeant's hostile takeover of Allergan. Actavis then took on the Allergan name and was eventually acquired by Abbvie in 2019. https://www.reuters.com/article/business/allergan-agrees-to-66-billion-actavis-offer-valeant-walks-idUSKCN0J00W7/ There are indications that Allergan looked at potentially acquiring Revance some 8 to 10 years ago. If these rumors are true, then Bill Meury would have been actively involved in those discussions. If this is the case, then Bill has been patiently stalking Revance waiting for an opportunity like this for almost 10 years. There is a reasonably strong possibility that Crown will increase their offer price.

Caledonia Mining sees big profit jump in 2024; welcomes gold's move above $3,000

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (AIM:CMCL, NYSE-A:CMCL) chief executive Mark Learmonth talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong 2024 financial performance and strategic priorities following the release of its latest results. Learmonth reported a “strong end to a reasonably good year,” with annual gold production reaching approximately 78,000 ounces—within guidance—supported by favourable pricing. He highlighted that “gross profit for the year was 77 million, compared to 41 million last year,” with adjusted earnings per share rising sharply from less than $0.10 in 2023 to nearly $1.30 in 2024. The results were delayed due to a technical accounting issue, with Learmonth explaining this stemmed from a deferred tax calculation error dating back to 2019. He stressed it had “no impact on our actual tax liabilities and tax payments.” On project development, the feasibility study for the Bilboes project has been extended to evaluate options that could significantly reduce capital costs. These include the potential to export concentrate and relocate the tailings facility, potentially lowering upfront investment needs. Exploration at both Blanket and Motapa returned positive results. Learmonth noted that the Blanket resource base has been extended, and early work at Motapa uncovered “exciting mineralisation” in new areas. With gold prices currently above $3,000 per ounce, the company is focused on maximising cash flow and investing further in Blanket and other revenue-generating opportunities.

Inspired PLC CEO Mark Dickinson breaks down FY24 highlights, net zero strategy

Inspired PLC (AIM:INSE) chief executive Mark Dickinson takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's 2024 financial results, its ongoing mission to help clients reach net zero, and the outlook for 2025. Dickinson provided an overview of the group’s four complementary divisions: software, assurance, ESG, and optimisation. These work together to help Inspired’s B2B clients manage energy costs, comply with ESG reporting obligations, and implement real carbon reduction strategies. “The backdrop continues to be increasingly favourable for Inspired as we help those clients navigate their way through those challenges,” Dickinson said, citing continuing demand despite lower energy prices. FY24 was a year focused on strengthening the balance sheet. Dickinson said the company eliminated all contingent consideration liabilities, raised capital, and reduced net leverage from 2.59x to 1.47x adjusted EBITDA—giving the business a firmer platform for growth. The company’s non-financial KPIs also moved in a positive direction, with cross-selling increasing and more than 50% of optimisation clients returning for additional services. Inspired is now serving 420 clients with optimisation support. Looking ahead, Dickinson said trading in 2025 started in line with expectations, and the business is progressing well on previously delayed projects. He remains optimistic about the pipeline and demand drivers, particularly in energy conservation, ESG compliance, and net zero support.

Time Finance CEO on Q3 update: record lending & growth to resilient small businesses

Time Finance PLC (AIM:TIME) CEO Ed Rimmer takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s performance in the third quarter, highlighting a record gross lending book and improved arrears management. Rimmer explained that Time Finance provides funding solutions to small businesses, including invoice finance, asset finance, and secured loans, typically supporting businesses with turnover up to £10 million. He said, “We help businesses grow, but we also help businesses to survive as well.” The company’s lending book reached a record £210 million at the end of February, with arrears falling to 5% from 6% a year earlier. Rimmer noted this progress came despite challenging market conditions and was achieved without compromising credit quality. Margins have also increased, with profit margins now at 40%. This was attributed to tight cost control and improved efficiency, including leveraging technology and streamlining internal processes. Time Finance has not increased its headcount significantly post-COVID, which has helped support margin growth. Rimmer also addressed the broader economic environment, pointing to interest rate pressures, inflation, and increased insolvencies, but emphasised that small businesses remain resilient. The company sees opportunity as traditional banks become more risk-averse, creating space for independent lenders. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

BioHarvest Sciences reports record-breaking 2024 revenue and expansion milestones

BioHarvest Sciences CEO Ilan Sobel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s impressive financial and operational performance for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. The company reported a remarkable 62% increase in fourth-quarter revenues, reaching $7.3 million, while full-year revenue surged by 99% year-over-year to $25.2 million, surpassing prior guidance. A key driver of this growth has been the continued expansion of VINIA®, BioHarvest’s flagship product line. As of February 2025, total VINIA® subscribers exceeded 50,000, contributing to a cumulative revenue milestone of $50 million since launch. Building on this momentum, the company successfully introduced its VINIA SuperFood Tea line, leveraging its "VINIA Inside" strategy following the successful launch of VINIA SuperFood Coffee in December 2023. Beyond its financial success, BioHarvest achieved several strategic milestones in 2024. Sobel highlighted a groundbreaking partnership with Tate & Lyle to develop plant-based sweeteners, further validating BioHarvest’s innovative Botanical Synthesis platform. Additionally, the company expanded its VINIA product portfolio and completed a successful uplisting to the Nasdaq Global Market, strengthening its position for accelerated growth and operational efficiency in 2025. With a strong foundation and continued product innovation, BioHarvest Sciences is poised to drive further market expansion and deliver sustained shareholder value in the coming year. #proactivinvestors #nasdaq #bhst #pharma #biotech #hearthealth #fattyliverdisease #BioHarvestSciences, #IlanSobel, #RevenueGrowth, #NasdaqListing, #IlanSobel #VINIA #HealthTech #Biotech LiverHealth #OliveCell #Verbascoside #NonAlcoholicFattyLiver #SupplementScience #HealthInnovation
