RE: Ge2 Oct 2018 23:40
I think it would be fair to assume that the project has come on too far for GE and CMEC to pull out now, if that were the case it would have happened months ago. Also fits the bill for both companies profiles. As CF73 mentioned, GE need their power division to be driving forward and to be building the turbines, boilers etc. Additionally CMEC is a Chinese company who are keen investors in Africa through the the belt and road initiative.
Therefore it really comes down to Mozambiques and EDMs appetite for the project. The country needs more electricity, particularly on the northern grid (where Tete is) Hanno mentions often that NCCL are the most advanced project in the country.....therefore I would suggest that their appetite to partner up and sanction this project is also there....
We have a small free float and some savvy investors. The AFC hold 20%, the bod around 15%, other IIs 10%, and Scott Fletcher 3%, further to these published there are also a lot of sticky large LTHs.
The loan restructuring was a very bullish confidence booster proving that insiders were happy to convert their debt to equity at a 33% premium (now over 50%) and also agreed not to call for the loan to be repaid on the 2nd Oct. Although this has taken a while soon NCCL balance sheet should reflect this and it's a non dilutive method. Win win.
Hopefully get some news soon and in my opinion anything positive we will see a surge in the SP as people desperately try take a position. Given the small free float I fear it may be hard for them to do so though.
Good luck all holders.
