Hope so ! Can’t believe where we are ! I bought to pull my average down and it still goes lower ... got a nice email reply from Elizabeth a few days ago and she said the following “
The market valuation of the Combined Group, and therefore the new share value, will be ascertained once the transaction completes, which is anticipated by the end of Q1 2021.
In the meantime, it is hard to put a market valuation on the Combined Group given Chrysaor is not a quoted company. That said, the Combined Group will be similar in size to that of the Norwegian E&Ps – Aker BP and Lundin – in terms of production, reserves and balance sheet. It would therefore not be unreasonable to expect that the market cap of the Combined Group would be similar to that of AkerBP and Lundin who have a market cap of c. $5-6bn. With 5-5.45% in the Combined Group, that would put Premier’s market cap today at c. $300m.
In terms of Transaction newsflow, we are in the process of seeking consent from our existing creditors for the proposed merger and expect to get to the requisite 75 per cent threshold shortly, at which point we will make an announcement. We plan to publish a prospectus and a shareholder circular in December which will include information about the Combined Group, including a valuation of the Combined Group’s estimated 2P reserves. The shareholder circular will include details of the shareholder meeting to approve the Transaction, which we anticipate will take place in January.”
