Paul Drayton ++:
You'll find, when the dust dies down , that the carry is still there in perhaps it's most important form!! The project financing before of the JV involved Premier putting in $350-400m equity, vendor financing, and debt. That equity element still survives and is unchanged (as is the vendor financing and senior debt) by this deal. The equity element of the JV is not a point that was covered in your note from the IR guys.
It remains the case that RKH does not have to contribute anything to the equity element. Navitas will share that with Premier, indeed that is really what they are paying to farm in.
In addition RKH's '30%' WI (I use inverted commas deliberately) account with the JV will bear non of the JV's interest charges!!
I think Sam used the word 'material' to describe RKH's interest in phase 1 very carefully. I may work out an effective interest for myself but will not post it here, as Sam has not done in the announcement, as that may be impolitic at this stage.
