The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
The share's are very tightly held, so if you want to buy in quantity you have to pay a premium. To give you and example the 'ask' when I made my second purchase today was showing as £1.14p, but I had to pay just over £1.16 for £22k's worth. So our £200k buyer had to pay £1.30.
There should be some more liquidity tomorrow as the placing shares hit the market but I'd be surprised it anyone's tempted to sell at less than £1.30. Personally I think this will go much higher in the short term as Glyco news is imminent plus I'm hopeful that we might get an update soon re: the completion of the validation of the SARS-CoV-2 serology ELISA from ProAxis/AZ.
GLA & DYOR.
So we have institutions and directors happy to buy at £1.30p and £17m+ of our current market cap underwritten by our holding in PDSB plus cash. Fully diluted market cap is currently circa £25m, which roughly values all other investments at £8m only. Market cap should be at least £40m in my view and that's without news.
Good luck & DYOR.

Oversubscribed so £7.7m raised and a new institutional investor.
Couldn't agree more.
So on a fully diluted basis (post placing) our current market cap is circa £27m (@£1.35) of which £17m is underwritten by cash plus our investment in PDSB. So all of our other investments (including the deal with AZ) are worth only £10m apparently.

They didn't - it was a misprint which was immediately corrected:
09-Jun-21 10:34:13 165.00 2,500 Buy* 160.00 165.00 4,125 O
09-Jun-21 10:34:13 265.00 -2,500 Buy* 160.00 165.00 -6,625 O
09-Jun-21 10:34:13 265.00 2,500 Unknown* 165.00 165.00 6,625
Best.
From the RNS dated 12th May:
'The Company and its auditors are working diligently to prepare and file the Interim Filings,
on or before June 30, 2021'
Based on the above relist could be the end of June, but more likely to be July in my view. Expecting an RNS towards the end of June to further clarify.
Good luck and as always DYOR.
Couldn't agree more. With the proposed cost savings this is now effectively a profitable company. Market cap is way to low for a company that turns over £26m+ and expects to grow.
"The Board expects growth from all business units and a return to profitability and cash generation post our restructuring."
Would be surprised if this is trading at these levels for much longer.
GLA and of course DYOR.
Thought it might be worth reposting my comments from the 16th March. My personal opinion, based on purely on the information released by the company, is that we will relist no sooner than 10 days after the 'effective date' - so the 6th May at the earliest.

16th March
From yesterday's RNS we were told that it takes 20 days for the 'cancellation to become effective'. 'After the Cancellation Request becomes effective' the company will then apply for their new listing which according to the LSE website takes 10 days.
'After the Cancellation Request becomes effective, the Company intends for the enlarged COPL group, being the Company (and its subsidiaries) and the Target (and its subsidiaries) under the completed Atomic Acquisition (the "Consolidated COPL Group"), to make an application for admission to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange (by way of a Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities (the "Listing Application")'
Hopefully we'll get an RNS stating that the cancellation request has been submitted at some point soon. It was stated yesterday in one the RNS's that this would be done 'imminently' post completion of the acquisition.

I'd imagine the 're-base price' will be in the order of the figures presented in the presentation below...slide 6. Obviously the current oil price is slightly higher - so assumed market cap today would be somewhere nearer the £150m mark. If the debt is paid off efficiently or a divi paid (both of which were suggested) then the market cap could be circa 20% higher, so £180m or thereabouts.

As far as I can tell the figures in this presentation only relate to 'proven' and 'probable' reserves and do not account for 'possible' nor 'undiscovered' reserves nor items such as Nigeria, an increase in oil price etc, - all of which, though speculative, could have a very positive impact on our market cap, and justifiably get us nearer the £200m-£250m figure in the short term. Longer term who knows....
ATB and as always DYOR.
The reason our shares have been suspended is that firstly, we are fundamentally changing the nature of our business and becoming a 'producer' as many other investors have already mentioned. Secondly, given that the assets/company we are acquiring (by way of RTO) isn't a 'publicly listed' entity, investors (existing and potential) and regulatory bodies (namely the FCA) are unable to conduct the necessary due diligence, and hence make an informed investment decisions at this stage. Thus suspension is a legal requirement under the Takeover Code.
Once the necessary due diligence has been conducted it will be presented into the 'public domain' by way of a pathfinder admission document and prospectus which are requirements of the re -admission process.
ATB and of course DYOR.
I hope you're right, but having re-read today's RNS I would suggest a minimum of 30 days.

This is taken directly from the LSE website. We have already appointed advisors, so a fair assumption is that it will probably take in the region of 8-12 weeks to relist.
12-6 weeks
Company and its advisers review pricing issues, host analyst presentations and produce drafts of key documents - including the prospectus.
8 weeks
UKLA sees and approves all documents. The company and advisers complete their due diligence, hold PR meetings and analyst road shows.
2 weeks - admission
The company makes it's formal application for listing and admission. This is granted and trading begins.
Post relisting, slide 6 of the document below gives an indication of the likely market cap of the 'new company' based on the information that we currently know.

Goog luck & as always DYOR.
Assumed market cap based on $62 bbl. WTI is £146m so that may give an idea of share price post completion/suspension given today's oil price.
