My opinion is that they are likely waiting for a legal "solution" regarding the structure, not a legal "opinion".
Whenever you pass a bond through the Nordics, there has to be, at minimum, an EU affiliation in place for it to meet Euroclear regs, since Eurclear serves as the "official" clearing house for all debt related instruments.
Since SIAF is domiciled in the US a structure would need t/b in place for the funds to get from point A to point B.
Thus, legal assistance is needed to establish this structure.
Delphi already had performed a legal opinion for the F/N exercise, and according to Solomon was met with satisfaction. Having been performed w/in the last few months, there w/n be a need to have this exercise done again.
My guess is that if legal time is being spent, it's toward establishing this affiliation.
