Makeabundle,
Just looking at the exchange rate, it's £1 = $1.35 = €1.15
My example corrected to Dollars is $135m ICSID award, based on 'at least €100m' plus interest compounded monthly.
That equals:
$135m
£100m
€115m
"Lansdowne's share of the recovered proceeds is expected to be between 60% and 70%."
Let's say 65%, right in the middle.
"Bonus Issue of Preference Shares carrying rights to Legal Claim in order to ringfence the majority (approximately 80%) of any potential net award for existing shareholders and CLN holders"
80% of 65 is 52
52% of £100m is £52m
My back of a cigarette packet calculation was for £50m as below. I guess the quick calculation wasn't far off after all.
The number of shares in issue pre consolidation will be 1,773,618,335. This is based on "Assuming the Share Consolidation proceeds, the number of New Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following the Share Consolidation would be 354,723,667."
So if you hold 1m shares today and existing shareholders get a share of £50m, you'd get £50m / 1,773,618,335 x 1m = £28,190.96
Confirmation calculation!
After consolidation, 1m / 5 = 200,000
£50m / 354,723,667 x 200,000 = £28,190.96
