£7m was raised to progress Victory Asset which was sold for £12.5 million to Shell Uk. Funds to be used for Colle Santo and West Newton both are of significant size.
The cash pile currently is equal to market cap. Assets are effectively in for free no value attached.
The Colle Santo Gas field has a resource of 65 BCF. Reabold now have a 30.6% share of this, two production wells already having been drilled. A Heads of Agreement has been signed between LNE eNERGY AND Guvnor who will purchase 44,000 tonnes of LNG per year. The agreement will be for a minimum of 5 years and at Italian PSV price. 2025-2030
***The agreement includes pre payment by Guvnor for a total of 66,000 tonnes of LNG. Guvnor will purchase approx 44,000 tonnes LNG per year. In the May 2nd RNS a price of 30 Euro /MWh was mentioned this would equate to an upfront payment of EURO 29,970,000 MILLIONS. Price of LNG has increased since by approx 40% to 42 Euro Mwh equals approx 42,000,000M Euros for LNEnergy of which Reabold after today's deal hold 30.6% of LNEnergy..
Few things to note.
The prepayment is subject to obtaining the required permits to construct and operate the LNG production facility
Italian Government policy has become more favorable in this direction recently. It will happen is my strong personal view. Also conditional on agreeing definitive transaction documentation. Like say I fully believe this will happen there is demand. Italian Government want projects like this... Guvnor are no mickey mouse company who can not afford but a MULTINATIONAL ENERGY COMMODITIES COMPANY with revenue of US$150 Billion Turnover. BP has turnover of £210 billion to give some idea of scale and shell has the highest revenue of any company in uk at approx £290 Billion US.
30% of LNEnergy is a nice stake to have for a company that is valued at £5.1m.
