No Rush - looks like there is strong interest.22 Mar 2021 01:18
88 Energy
ASX:88E, AIM:88E
88E’s drilling operator has just chosen to get paid in 88E shares - instead of cash.
In what is a major endorsement of 88E’s project, the company’s major drilling / operations contractor preferred to be paid its $6.48M fee in 88E shares rather than cash.
88E struck a deal to pay the operator $6.48M in 88E shares at $0.018/share.
That is a 225% premium to the placement 88E undertook a few weeks ago.
This relieves a large cash burden for 88E, and allow’s 88E to cover the recent cost overruns announced on 11th March.
We like it when service providers get paid in shares, as it means they are more aligned with company shareholders like us.
The local Alaskan oil contractor is obviously impressed with how 88E goes about things, and is prepared to back them. Obviously we don’t know how many shares might be sold by the contractor this week, however we would hope they will be keeping a few in the back pocket to get some leverage to what could be a massive oil discovery...
