Overthelimit,
We can only speculate as to why the rise didn't hold.
Some people will have been positioning themselves for this news since mid December & thus will have banked a near 100% profit, (yes they might have hoped for more)
The deal was structured to look complex & kind of try & make people focus on the $15M number & then add in the other numbers. When in reality the $15M is to pay TRP's share of the well cost!
They could have just said TRP was getting a free carry to the value of $15M & was getting X amount in cash, but that would have clearly shown everyone that they were only getting a little cash from this farm-out & a chunk of it is required to pay for other things like the seismic!
Many other factors as well, like who is trading it, who wants in, the number of share holders the company already has & how many of them want to top-up (to average down) or not etc etc.
