Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
Mark Thompson twitter thoughts...
"I like to think the unthinkable - it prepares your for extreme market events. My current musings are:
1. What happens if the LME warehouse tin stock goes to zero?
2. What happens if there is no cash offer for tin on the settlement close one day?"
What level would a cash offer be made at per share?
What would the "run off" value be per share?
"As announced in the Group's most recent update to the market on 8 September 2020 it is expected that transition of the Group's investment management contract to WAM will be completed as soon as practicable. Discussions regarding a possible cash offer by WAM are also ongoing.
Since 30 June the Group has continued to reduce leverage and increase its liquidity. This pattern is expected to continue in the light of continued market uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and pending the change of investment manager.
If a cash offer for the Group is not completed the Board expects to recommend to shareholders that the Group's investment policy is changed to provide for a controlled run-off of the Group's assets and return of capital to shareholders. Any change of investment policy will be subject to shareholder approval."
This what Motley Fool actually said about Cineworld
"Cineworld share price: not a happy ending
I believe Cineworld is a decent enough business that should survive. But the group has loaded up with debt in recent years, mainly due to acquisitions. Some of this debt could have been repaid by now if the company hadn’t chosen to pay generous dividends at the same time.
Cineworld shares looked risky to me back then and things have only got worse. I think this movie is going to end with existing shareholders getting heavily diluted in a big equity raise.
I’d stay well away — I think there’s a good chance that Cineworld’s share price will keep falling"
