Devil In The Detail.13 Oct 2018 14:27
This deal will most certainly draw attention to SDX once completed and no doubt SDX will be on its way to the $1bn company PW is targeting, enabling him to put the 'up for sale' sign out.
How the deal is structured will determine our opening SP on return from suspension. I can not see there being no dilution at all happening, all I hope its no more than an additional 100m shares, or 50% of the company. I would be really annoyed if bonds are mentions at all in the deal, the last thing I want to see are bondholders on-board.
That said, a deal akin to SQZ's BKR with no dilution at all is what I would love to see ... On resumption, should the SP close around 95p I would be more than happy, as this, I hope will provide plenty more upside over the coming months/years as the assets bed in. I know we should be at 95p already pre-suspension, but it is what it is .... and the market will always want its pound of flesh.
24th May was the last director dealing so the BP deal could have been worked on shortly after this date, so maybe closer that we think, particularly after this weeks tweets. IMO the BP deal was the reason we took on the $10m credit facility on 18th July, that at the time, appeared we had no need for, given our current/ projected cashflow. So imo we commenced talks between these dates.
Remember, we will need to vote on any deal, so it has to be attractive to current holders, until then its all guess work.
