ADX Alumni and PPB Distribution

G'day fellow ADX'ers.

Many of you (ADX'ers) won't be familiar with my blog, but hopefully it can be put to good use.

Back in 2001 ADX was wound up. This was a sorry event for all those who had invested so much (either in equity or passion). A receiver, PPB, was appointed. Not all staff entitlements (e.g. redundancy / holiday pay etc.) were covered in full.

It now appears PPB is in a position to make a final distribution of $500,212.25 to ADX employees. This will be further reduced pro-rata at 62cents in the dollar.

The following ADX staff are on record as being entitled to a final payment. I have lost contact with many of the staff but I include the last known email address. If you are able to update any of this information (or indeed if you were a manager of any of these staff) please let me know.

PPB has spent 900K on litigation funding, 691K on legal fees and already had approval for their own fees (in priority to staff) of 166K. PPB will now seek another 200K approval in fees.
Another way to look at this is 366K for PPB in fees and 500K at .62 = 310K for all ex ADX staff.
Makes you wonder who the real winners are?

Any insolvency is sad. Suppliers are bitten as unsecured creditors - for some a settled invoice from ADX made the difference between booking a profit or a loss in the annual accounts. Likewise our equity investors - from staff to family, friends and professional contacts.

I must also put in a word of praise for Ralph Doubell who has been a rock through this process. No doubt this has been a loadstone around his neck all the while these proceedings have been dragging on. Peter Meacham also deserves a note for his continuing efforts for staff and creditors.

Please let me know what I need to update. (best email address for me is scott.riley@au.fortis.com).
If people could check their facebook or LinkedIn or other networks for contacts (good thinking Olivier Gueris) it might help to close a few gaps.

Peter Meacham advises that if we don't claim the money it just gets set aside and sits in an "unclaimed money" pot. So please make an effort.

For those of you who wish to remain anonymous you can contact Farnaz Bassiri at PPB (switch +61 (0)2 8116 3000) directly on +61 (0)2 8116 3142. She can confirm any entitlement with you directly.

Would I do it again? In a heart-beat. You ADXers were great. And for a while, the SFE even respected their customers.

ADX...Trade Smarter!
