Malcy last week in case you missed it. Reabold Resources
Reabold has announced a placing which raises a modest £2.65m, at 1.10p, it is at a 29% premium to its last raise and also the 90 day VWAP and a nil discount to last nights close. The proceeds are for ‘further strategic investment into the current portfolio and potentially into further investment opportunities’.
Unlike other companies the RBD model, with its invest, develop, sell strategy means that tapping the market is important in order to add value for shareholders in such cases as the West Newton discovery recently. The significant rise in the share price, like that of Union Jack, gave an opportunity to raise money, when the ducks quack etc but for Reabold in particular although the money helps it is not the main reason.
My view of West Newton has been clear, it is a massive discovery that has yet to be appreciated by the market either on an oil or a gas basis and as such more money has to be spent in order to ensure that shareholder returns are as high as possible. Reabold might be a holder or a seller of the asset but it aint letting go at this price, hence the raise. Obviously it adds to the balance sheet for other projects such as Romania but in the meantime onshore UK is significantly undervalued and as such the company’s best way of franking that value is to invest more in it. As I recently said about UJO, Reabold shareholders have something special here and should hang on for the ride…
