Full Tilt cessa negociações exclusivas com Potencial Investidor!

A Full Tilt Poker emitiu uma declaração exclusiva no site Poker News, dando o ponto de situação actual das negociações com os potenciais investidores e pedindo desculpa pelo seu silência até á data:

"Dublin, Ireland (August 22, 2011) - On August 16, Irish based Pocket Kings Ltd., brand executor for the Full Tilt Poker moniker, concluded the exclusivity period of negotiations with their current potential investor.

While Pocket Kings Ltd. plans to continue discussions with its current investor, the company has now begun negotiations with additional potential investors to conclude the sale/partnership of the Full Tilt Poker brand and its assets.

Full Tilt Poker apologizes for its lack of communication with its customers over the last month and a half, but it has been grappling with unexpected and complex legal and financial issues arising from Black Friday and its aftermath. In addition, the company has had to be circumspect about disclosing the progress of negotiations with potential investors because there is often a requirement of strict confidentiality.

To the extent that it can do so without jeopardizing future opportunities, Full Tilt Poker will strive to have better communication with its customers going forward. Full Tilt Poker's number one priority remains the same: to secure an infusion of capital to repay all of its worldwide customers."

Dito isto sabemos agora então que tudo está em aberto e que existem vários investidores interessados, ontem surgiu também uma notícia no site eGaming que obteve uma entrevista exclusivo com o advogado Jeff Ifrah, o responsável por representar a Full Tilt Poker, em que ele afirma que o investidor inicial será o mais provável de estabelecer um acordo com a Full Tilt:

"I'm not directly involved in any of those discussions but I assume if everything goes to plan then the announcement will bring not just a new owner and new investor but also an entirely new management team, and I assume that will all be well-coordinated and closely coordinated with the regulator.

I assume there's going to be a transition period [after any investment] and we hope that it's not going to take that long to turn the lights back on and begin facilitating player withdrawals and obviously continue playing"

As declarações dadas ontem pelo advogado da Full Tilt e hoje pela Full Tilt são bastante contrárias, pois enquanto o advogado afirma que o investidor inicial será o mais provável de estabelecer um acordo, hoje a Full Tilt afirma que as negociações exclusivas com o investidor inicial terminaram! De qualquer das formas a Full Tilt tem até dia 15 de Setembro de 2011 para resolver tudo e reunir-se novamente com a "Alderney Gaming Control Commission".
