Costs...7 Jun 2019 12:15
Kibo PLC cannot raise money at these levels (we are 30% or so below par level).
Therefore, to dilute (in a conventional sense) they would have to either (a); hold a GM with a resolution to alter the par value (i.e. take it down to a level you can issue new shares at) or (b); they could put a special resolution into the upcoming Annual Results / AGM to vote on to alter the par value (i.e. take it down to a level you can issue new shares at). By the way, the Annual Results will be published next Friday 14 June.
I don’t see this happening, for a few reasons, Sanderson and Sechaba won’t want to see their capital diluted to smithereens and there is also the chance that is fails in a vote (disaster for Management).
The least path of resistance for Kibo to take is for them to continue utilising the Sanderson USD 2,940,000 Forward Payment Facility, it’s non-dilutionary (at point of use) and Sanderson can ensure they have maximum sight of their investment (which is seriously underwater currently).
The annual results next week will tell you exactly what cash burn is (exploration and administration). My own take on this considering how far the last $500k Sanderson drawdown has taken us (3+ months) expect a serious curtailment on costs. I think we are looking at an annualised spend of <$2m on exploration and administration which is astonishingly low considering what these guys are doing in terms of business.
People are obsessed on the CEO’s wages, wrongly, the guy is probably doing the work of 4 people.
