i'm not holding
when Sheikh was involved i was more interested at what the next step was going to be, its never been seen where a minor royal gets involved, he has other involvements in the sector which we could see from his website and it was more of what if, but i'm a cautious investor (been burned badly on some (FRR / PREM) and made money on others AGP / JOG / AMC / 88E)
years investing in AIM i now try to invest in undervalued stock with a concrete plan for a future, with assets i can appraise my way (not an optimistic company report)
I'm cautious on AJE for a number of reasons, 1. MXO tried to offload it a few years ago so the BOD were never overly keen on this in first place, 2. the current two production wells run dry end of 2021 and with no profit share until circa March 2020, there is only an 18 month period (c6 lifts) where there was any money due back, based on last lift RNS thats c$3.6m (£3m) of net revenue to ADME with Overheads of c£2m, that leaves c£1m Net to company in next 30 months after expenses without any further investment, 3. Phase 2 development plans (just the plans) have been delayed continually) and the Operator has previously indicated CapEx of over $1bn, while there is a huge resource at AJE, there doesn't seem to be any solution to this problem, none of the AJE partners are particularly large and have the availability or the strength (IMHO) to borrow this amount of money without very restrictive covenants and higher rates
This brings us back to the future and realistically its a bet on the confidence of the BOD to bring an investment opportunity that makes long term profits and justifies the potential mass dilution that is to voted on in less than 2 weeks
i am also of the belief, that if it isn't voted through, there is no long term future at adme.
I made a similar statement 18months ago on Valirix regarding the dilution, they had Conversion notices to adhere too but the ShareCap would be breached, it was either (accept the mass dilution and a willing seller getting shares at 20% of current price or vote down dilution and face the bigger problem of liquidation and losing everything) neither was great but the lesser of two evils was to have the shares hit the market
