Stan, in 2014, acquired $11.7 million of redeemable choice stocks in Quicklix which had issued to HBO as part of a $10 million investment.
Mr Langsford stated those stocks have been a stumbling block because it changed into in search of to restructure its business.
He said Stan offered feasible resolutions: for Quickflix to pay $4 million in coins or handy over $1.25 million in coins plus all of its streaming customers.
