Contributions and company outcomes

Business failures and setbacks

Kola project remains dependent on financing and transaction outcomes

2026-06 · issuer reported · medium materiality

By the 30 June 2026 half-year report, Kola had not reached financial close or construction, and the formal sale process still had two parties engaged. The report’s cash forecast turned negative in June 2027 without new funds. This records project and funding execution risk, not individual misconduct; Baya and Maruta hold CEO/CFO roles during this period.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The executives’ roles overlap the unresolved project-financing milestones; the report does not attribute delay or financing outcome to either individual.

Relevance: The key CEO/CFO execution and capital-management exposure.
