I haven't read anything to suggest we can expect a 'mates rates' placing. The BOD seem very financially astute. We have money in the bank and a number of strong farm out deals, with more to follow. We are far from the circumstances that would require a discounted fund raise. If anything I would expect a placing to be close to SP with someone looking to make a serious investment and not pay a premium. I estimate we need $7m for Selene and we have £8m in the bank, so pretty much fully funded for both Shell drills. Capricorn is funding the work programme on 5 licenses so again I don't see the need for a fund raise at the moment, certainly not a large discounted one. If we can get another 1 million payment on the next farm out then its all good.
I don't see CNE going for a takeover, arn't they merging with Tullow and didn't they sell their north see assets recently? We've had Reabold and IOG sniffing around in the past, I expect much bigger outfits will be eyeing us up around now. Certainly for anyone currently making profits in the UK its a no brainer with 90% off the cost of development.
