The company has ~US$10 mm in cash (including ~US$3 mm from the convertible committed but yet to be received). The equity raise would add almost US$10 mm. This, along with cash generation from production in 2021 of ~US$3 mm, results in total cash resources of US$23 mm. This is enough to fund the firm activity programme (Saffron #2 and Suriname) of mm, the current financial liabilities of US$10-14 mm for the residual invoices associated with the Bahamas exploration well (which is higher than our earlier expectations of US$8-9 mm) and US$4 mm to Lombard Odier. In a success case at Saffron #2 and Suriname, BPC will probably be able to draw the remaining £10 mm/US$14 mm of its convertible facility and access
further debt to fund a US$9-14 mm follow-on development programme. The exact amount of funding will drive the size of the programme that could include further exploration drilling on the SW peninsula (US$6 mm for two wells) and further development drilling at the producing assets.
