RE: Simple Valuation - 53,8 pence NEW SHARE PRICE19 Feb 2020 18:34
Hi Highland Matt,
I realise that it is a minimum of $9CAD or £&mill, I was assuming that it will be oversubscribed and that it will be £9 million.
Normally, I would check the Memorandum and Articles to check the Power to Allot shares, but it is a Canadian Company and the By-Laws are silent on this, however they have stated that the issue is within their Authority.
My experience of doing fundings such as this is that Directors have the power to issue 10% extra shares without needing to go to the Shareholders, and usually in the AGM there is a resolution to waiver this restriction, allowing 15% or 20% new shares without an EGM.
I therefore took a conservative approach and assumed that it would be possible to issue 20 million shares., and that the price will be 45 pence, which is approximately 20% discount to today's closing price. The published U/T Uncrossing Trade is a complete red herring and should be ignored.
The book build is always a bit of a nervous time, but once again, this us usually done in the days before the announcement, and we can expect an RNS in the next day or two confirming that it complete. I have done a few of these, and you can assume that this is a done deal, save for the final numbers.
