RE: Acquisition RNS1 Jun 2020 19:30
Bird needs to explain this deal, in hindsight I am pretty unhappy that some unknown entity are about to receive 100m shares in XTR at a time when the value of the company is expected to increase significantly. He has given away around 20% of the company to acquire this Licence/Project + there are other associated costs.
Looking around recent resource licence aquisition deals on AIM the price paid seems rather top heavy in my view, many deals are paid for in staged payments with success payments made on delivery of project growth.
As seasoned followers of Xtract Bird does seem to like doing deals with private entities who are hard to research, who is behind this company, who received the finders fee, if the licence is so dynamic why was it available ?
We already had a 'blue sky' project in Eureka and both Zambia and Manica will deliver revenues, surely this would have been enough to be getting on with. It will be very interesting to see what Tom Winnifrith has to say about this deal, if there is a rat he will find it make no mistake.
On reflection disappointed, 100m shares priced at 1.25p can be sold in stages , will they be sold, you bet they will IMO.
