RE: Mondi to sell its largest Russian plant for $1.6 bln14 Aug 2022 15:31
Even if you just took the very simple approach of attaching a $1bn valuation to each of the main assets, Monchetundra, NKT, NYUD, Sopcha, Poaz........that's $5bn. It's why it's very easy to wait for myself, we're halfway through August now, so, November isn't even that far away.
However, i think sale details will land prior with some form of stipulation that the buying price will be agreed so long as the DFS states X,Y,Z of whatever Monchegorsk assets they're going to take. Simply put, the buyer is going to get exactly what they want, hence why things are taking time.
Norilsk, if it's them, they will not want to have to worry about things like JORC, DFS etc as they're currently changing their Monchegorsk facility on a very large scale, so, they would want any assets in a 'ready to go' format, that's what the JORC and DFS achieves. Coincidentally, it also achieves maximum value for Eurasia in any asset sale environment, both sides get what they want in the end!
