Allow me to chirp in with a suggestion: I'd recommend that you not involve SUF in your trip. If the purpose is to validate and DD the UAE deal wouldn't it be more objective if the company weren't involved? There are is another factor to consider that you might not be thinking about.
Securities laws are complex. You may run afoul of them by involving SUF. Material information must be disclosed to ALL shareholders concurrently by filing a form 8-K with the SEC. If the company were to sanction the trip and you discover material information that benefited your trading positions at the expense of other public shareholders both you and the company might be guilty of violating securities law. I suggest that you not involve the company. An independent fact finding trip at your personal expense would not be a problem (IMHO).
