You say pretty futile, but with 3.4 billion shares in issue, GGP could do with a bit of consolidation to get the share price at an attractive rate. If they were to go for a dual listing ( and Australia's ASX would make the most sense) then I am not sure what a sterling price of 1.8 p would equate to in Australian currency and whether they could float at such a low price.
Again if Newcrest were to participate in a share placing, the obvious place would be through an ASX listing. I am sure Newcrest will want to get a decent percentage of GGP if they go down that route to protect their interests in GGP’s assets and to ward off @ny potential hostile bids for GGP.
I don’t think it unreasonable for Newcrest to pay a premium for those shares as they would have easily recoup their money when the share price rises on good news. ( fingers crossed).
It is getting very interesting, especially with the warrants due to lapse after Friday and with GH not appearing to be too worried about our cash position.
I am sure by the end of next week (16/8/19), things will be a lot clearer.
