“Touchstone Exploration
Touchstone has announced a one year extension to their credit facility, at a cost of $150/- which seems exceptional value for an extended term, no change in coupon and a removal of tricky covenants. The race is now on to get production up and to be able to pay the payments when they eventually become due or to cut a deal with someone, all of which is possible…A smart move but to an extent a moving of deckchairs, I am hoping to catch up with the CEO soon, our diaries havent matched so far but keen to chat.”
Not sure I agree with “to an extent a moving of deckchairs”. What PB has done is bought time and bought it, as Malcy acknowledges, very cheaply. And, given the plan for 2019, it is a potentially very valuable chunk of time that PB has bought, IMO.
