Yeah, well,
he's in an interview.

You're not a fucking

of you wall-crossing

I wouldn't be so crude

as to use the phrase
"cash grab," but...

HENRY MUCK: Oh, come on. What?

WILHELMINA FASSBINDER: Pierpoint's
been overexposed in sales and trading.

This has been ameliorated

by our commitment
to the green shift.

And on the day
of his partnership,

it's important we credit
Eric's work in the trenches.

Lumi is just the first
in a pipeline

of environmental, social,
and governance-oriented deals.

We have a suite of in-demand,
ethical and social impact IPOs

that we've won
over our competitors.

Look...
ESG's a great marketing tool,

and I'm sure it's helped
Pierpoint's stock price

to be included in all
the ethical investment baskets,

but...

shouldn't we be wary
of increasingly gearing

our balance sheet toward a fad?

Excuse me?

Woke investing. Greenwashing.

So our business model

isn't a rigorous balance sheet
examination.

We just look at the org chart
and then...

Chatham House rules apply.

Pray that the CEO

then without even meeting her,

sign "they/them" a blank check.

Chatham House rules means

Lumi, Europa Gaz

JAMES:
Right, no throat clearing.

We've got some last-minute
concerns about your valuation...

based on the very sneakily
timed earnings report

with its surprising
net debt figure.

The debt profile of the company
has seemingly shrunk overnight,

just as
you're about to go public?

♪ (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

So?

(CLEARS THROAT) In your cash
and cash equivalent,

you've added in receivables

which, uh, you know
won't get settled.

You've calculated
your indebtedness

as a net debt to EBITDA ratio,
and it looks like you just

massaged the EBITDA
to make that ratio decrease.

What are you accusing me of?

This earnings report,
your first as a public company,

will legally
have to be published

on your website
for anyone to see,

and you're putting lipstick
on the pig

at the last minute.

Which got me thinking what else
you're keeping from people.

So I had my analysts up
all night

modeling what would happen if,
say, given your debt profile,

natural gas prices spike.

My conclusion is that
you'd be sailing into a storm

on a shit boat.

Therefore, we disagree
with Pierpoint's price

of 4.30 pence a share.

- It should be closer
to four pounds. - What?

- I don't know.
- We have doubts over the projected closing price

- of 4.80.
- HENRY: Uh, James, James.

Uh, let's, uh...
(CLEARS THROAT)

Let's drill down
to the crux here, shall we?

You know the fundamentals
are strong.

(CLEARS THROAT) Sir Henry.

Sorry, I know that doesn't
make you sound very, um, modern.

- (SCOFFS)
- JAMES: I'm going to be reasonable.

I'm going to offer you back
half my equity

at 4.30 a share

as per the Pierpoint valuation.

Um. Look,
Lumi is at the forefront

of the democratization
of the energy sector and-

Yeah, I- I keep hearing that

and I still have no idea
what it means.

Okay, well, from our perspective
on the floor,

the IPO is oversubscribed.
Investors are very eager to buy.

You know,
people are clamoring for this.

KENNY: We know that street-wide,
it is going to be a buy.

YASMIN:
Our traders are expecting

a very strong bid
for it tomorrow, James.

JAMES: The market won't
support it for long.

You know, I truly hate
how you sell-side guys speak.

It's all just fucking
smoke and mirrors

with you guys, right?
Just jargon, tarting it up.

- And, of course, you're incentivized to overvalue it.

about the CEO's integrity?

Look,
