Mogger, I'm not surprised you don't want to comment on valuation post FID ~900m shares in issue. ;)
BuzzThomas, How would we compare Rockhopper v Harbour energy? Who would sell their shares now and buy Harbour energy shares with the Roc sale funds? Compare Harbour market cap £3.25 Billion, no of shares on issue 1.43 Billion, with a boatload of debt. Assorted liabilities in the North Sea which they would like to dump.
Compared to Rockhopper Market cap £512.42 Million, Shares on issue after FID 928 Million with little debt, owning 35% of a whole basin. Brand new, a clean sheet, I don't think you can put an accurate value on this at this moment in time.
Anyone choose to swap? Granted, we need to reduce risk, mostly that will disappear after fid. Then my own concerns would be
Milliband poking his nose in, or a giant spacecraft from the planet Uranus drawing the oil from Sea Lion, shrinking it and taking it back home without compensation. A bit like the Italians.
