I would have thought it was a broad broadcast to all shareholders who registered, should be public info and could be an avz tactic to raise public awareness without further antagonising stakeholders or icisd and icc rulings.
Either this or they were too busy to send a few updates which would be ridiculous.
However is deboss considered independent of avz if he's part of the advisory team?
I'd have to agree with @h00ts, this is most likely a figure head role avz put in place because yianni is a big shareholder and threw in more cash.
Big shareholders with privaledged information backing the company certainly beats listening to non holders and dimwits on hc
