RE: OO take up10 May 2019 08:58
the OO relies on every shareholder taking up their full allotment, the amount available as per the prospectus (218m) is the current share captial divided by 22...
If every shareholder takes the OO then any 'Excess Applications' will be unsuccessful as per pg92 in the prospectus:
'There is no limit on the amount of New Ordinary Shares that can be applied for by Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility, save that the maximum amount of New Ordinary Shares to be allotted under the Excess Application Facility will be limited by the maximum size of the Open Offer, being 218,048,057 New Ordinary Shares. The total number of Open Offer Shares is fixed and will not be increased in response to any excess applications. Applications pursuant to the Excess Application Facility will therefore only be satisfied to the extent that other Qualifying Shareholders do not apply for their Open Offer Entitlements in full.'
If say the OO take up is 50% then you potentially would be awarded 50%+ of your OO entitlement in excess shares but the allocation of this is entirely in the BOD's discretion and it may not be that simple...
Personally I think the take up will be circa 80%+ and therefore excess applications will receive some shares but it will more than likely be between 20-40% of your OO entitlement...
All guessing and if you don't ask you don't get so I'm asking for more...
