A fair few shares bailed out far below this price have made it into my Hoover bag JJAL.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to get overexcitable on 1p or 2p rises.
I’m also aware Robert has personal warrants. I think he’ll keep them. He’ll get more out in dividends ultimately than what it will cost to convert them to shares, so he won’t want to flip them. He’ll be a CEO with an even bigger stake in the company.
I’m aware the company has authorization to places shares.
Back at the AGM it would have been irresponsible of the company not to have asked for authorization to place shares in case it was required to, as in what if our wells has been delayed another few months, money may have got short?
But. They weren’t.
***They are here now delivering revenues and we will soon find out the IP’s***
The fact we can, doesn’t mean we will. Many companies have outstanding authorizations to place shares.
I said before a long time ago, and stand by it, that the shares, if placed, might happen as part of strategic partnerships.
Take SXX as an example.
It signed an annual multi million tonne TorP (That’s a take or pay agreement / offtake agreement) and with it took a 30% stake in the distribution partner, and a seat on that Board, establishing an invaluable position within the supply chain.
How? It did an equity share swap. Some of its shares for some of theirs.
Just because shares can be “placed” doesn’t mean they hit the market, or become instantly tradeable and trash the SP, they can be restricted, and as held by other companies, ultimately seen favorably by the market.
Sometimes you can sign deals and if required part with equity.
Now we have lots of our businesses in separate holding companies.
We could JV partner for X% of some of those holding companies, example Montana for Helios.
That would not dilute HNR. Would reduce the Helios ownership, but then could develop it so the % you have left is worth multitudes of the 100% you had before.
Or, wiith the ability to place shares there is a safety net, but one that isn’t required now, and also the ability to strategically align yourself with partners.
We used shares and cash to buy the lease for section 15. Good job we did really. Now that lease is enabling us to have more wells on that section.
We are distribution partners, and have a distribution partnership already with two different companies.
We have technology, patents, a multitude of leases, distribution partnerships today.
Tomorrow we could have strategic alliances, new partners could be established. Kansas opens us to the agricultural and pharmaceutical and scientific and research sectors...
A whole world of opportunities and options, but like Dianne, you only see the one option, the negative one, when it suits you.
