It's make your mind up time folks ! Part 17 Nov 2021 08:40
Well ladies and gentlemen the picture has become a little clearer,
the lenders of Cuda have decided to play hard ball.
This probably means that AM is now going to have to deal with the organ grinders and not the monkey.
Perhaps we can also deduce that there were no other serious offers from any of our larger and wealthier neighbours as they would have sweept it up absorbing the debt.
So AM has a strong hand and I think Noob makes a strong point “There is a sale agreed with COPL but CUDA don't like the terms of it, this then forces their hand, because the sale is better than insolvency for CUDA. “.
So now we know it will cost a maximum of USD 56,201,405 + interest & costs to purchase Cuda outright.
We also know that the below offer to purchase the Alberta asset was declined.
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2021) - Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. (TSXV: CUDA)
("Cuda" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") to sell all of the shares of Cuda Energy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that holds its Alberta assets, to an arm's length private company (the "Purchaser"). The Purchaser has agreed to pay total cash consideration of $2.67 million, subject to certain adjustments, and has provided a deposit of $135,000. The completion of the transaction is subject to the Purchaser being satisfied with its due diligence review and other customary closing conditions. There is no certainty that all of the closing conditions will be satisfied.
Approximate value USD 2.14 m at that time, (I have outlined previously the industrial disputes and probable management neglect that had reduced production to 50% for the previous year),
with the price of gas rising sharply at the time.
Maybe a reasonable of value currently would be circa USD 6 m.
Therefore we now no that of the 15th November it will become a lender & debtor situation and valuation of Cuda WI will not be in the equation any more.
Tallinn will not be happy to lose any of the CAD$ 13 m they lent,
Their portfolio is not large and this would be a massive hit for them.
The variable is how much PWC will accept as receivers of Bridging finance for their debt.
So if AM has no interest in the Alberta gas asset a discount of around USD 6 M .
This may leave Cuda a small asset with which to carry on trading.
This would leave COPL to carry roughly USD 50 M to walk away with the 27% WI.Cuda.
I am sure we may be able to get the WI at a considerable discount.
But I ask the question, bearing in mind the below which was estimated at $20m purchase using accordian part of the loan
Using Tedoboys excellent and may be conservative calculations.
BFSU.
Without Cuda.
Profit $33.31 m.
Mcap $825.25
Sp £3.71.
With Cuda.
Profit $54.71 m.
Mcap $1367.5 m.
Sp £6.33.
Even if he ended up paying 30 to 40 m for the WI if he could organise the finances wouldn't it still be a fantastic deal for us and the
