RE: Valuation of W2T22 Jan 2020 23:06
The planning application is in the name of W2T & Peel. Not PHE.
So if/when planning permission is granted, that permission will be in the name of W2T & Peel.
W2T have the lease for the land from Peel. Not PHE.
The grant that was recently announced will be in the name of W2T, not PHE.
However, after the takeover (assuming it goes through) then because W2T will be a 100% subsidiary of PHE, the planning permission, the lease and the grant funding will all belong to the enlarged PHE group.
But I imagine that because the planning and lease will be in W2T's name that this will have to be considered as part of the value in the "price" that PHE will be paying for W2T.
However, as I posted earlier, we need to wait for the issue of the shareholders' circular in which the BoD must explain and justify the "price" and other terms that they are proposing for the takeover.
Incidentally, I'm not expecting the shareholders' circular to be issued until after the planning permission has been approved. Bear in mind that the grant of £1.25M will only be awarded to W2T when they have obtained planning permission and funding for the first DMG unit, which they must achieve by 31st March. So perhaps the takeover will have to wait until all of these things are out of the way so that there is a clear road ahead.
I don't know what they're planning of course, just a thought.
