Funds Raised22 Jan 2015 19:02
After reflection I think we should appreciate that the Board and the advisors have raised a substantial amount of Capital with minimum disruption to the share price. I understand some concerns that as P.I's we did not have the opportunity to partake, but a rights issue would have been a bad alternative in my opinion and a clawback option would have just cost additional fees , and annoyed the Institutional Investors.
My conclusion is that AMA now has a good Institutional share base- a couple of years ago it was mainly P.I' s, so I believe that shows that the Institutions know understand the potential of AMA.
As to dilution- there is no long term dilution if AMA can keep a larger % of profits- developing the valuable resource was always going to involve a deal of some sort, and my conclusion is that this placing is in the best long term interests of shareholders.
