Morning note from SP Angel SYN's so called "adviser".
Synergia Energy* (SYN LN) 0.012p, Market Cap £ 1.9m: Financing secured to extend runway
• Synergia has entered into an up to $700k unsecured loan agreement to provide funding for general working capital requirement with Republic Investment Management , which holds 12.4% of the shares .
• The first tranche of $350 k can be drawn down from mid-April on demand, bearing interest of 7.5% on amounts drawndown, and repayable within 12 M from the initial draw down date.
• The second tranche of $350 k will be available on a date as agreed between the Company and Republic, no earlier than 1 September 2026, with the same lending terms.
• Alongside the loan, Synergia will issue share options to Republic to the value of the loan principal with an exercise price at a 10% premium over the prevailing share price at the initial draw down date of each tranche for a period of 12M.
While Synergia commented recently that it had sufficient liquidity to meet operational and working capital obligations for at least the next 12M, today’s financing provides additional headroom while the Company reassess es its options. Selan’s decision to renege on the deal terms to acquire Synergia ’s 50% interest in the Cambay PSC at the last moment, has forced the Company to review its strategic options going forward and restart marketing of its position to other interested parties . Selan has also yet to execute the agreed fully funded $20m development work programme under the previously executed farm out agreement, which should have included the drilling of three new production wells in the Eocene.
In the UK, Synergia has suspended external contract work on the proposed 70-100mt Medway Hub CCS project and is working with the regulator to implement a delay in the Camelot licence work programme as it looks to identify a replacement JV partner .
*SP Angel acts as Nominated Advisor and Broker to Synergia Energy Limited
So in summary no positives to offer except that by raising further capital it gives them greater wiggle room. And the ability, no doubt, to pay SP Angel a load of fees for the fund raise and for assisting them in finding them buy out and CCS JV partners..... So at least SP Angel will be milking it whilst they can.
