Interesting perspectives from a variety of posters on here this morning.
0.55 of a Solgold share per CGP shares is an ever moving position.... What happens if there is a significant announcement prior to the formal offer being made that could include:
- PEA
- Increased shareholding of any of the major shareholders
- Regional drilling permits approved / some new shiny core
- Conditional funding package updates
- Increased resource size or cores from Alpala or other significant core results from Trivinio..
If the Solgold share price increases at a higher rate as a result of any of the above (especially because of value added activity that sits outside of ENSA) than CGP then the 0.55 per CGP share is more attractive...
It is key to note that this is Solgold giving CGP shareholders NOTICE that they intend to bid...time to get a lot of the pettiness out of the way, consider the offer, consider the upside etc... as well as to notify the rest of the market....
This seems to be like Solgold has exhausted dialogue with the CGP board and wants to present an open and transparent offer (whether you believe the value is right or not is not the key aim) to ALL CGP SHAREHOLDERS not just to those who are either on the board or part of the small Major shareholders group...
Ironically it is a similar scenario that SEMAFO did when bidding for Orbis Gold (where NM was on the Board of Directors) - this is an exert from the NR at the time:
"SEMAFO has attempted to engage with Orbis in a straightforward and business-like manner. Meetings were held in Brisbane during the period of September 25-27, 2014, which were followed by various communications, including several written proposals. Despite SEMAFO’s best efforts, Orbis has so far responded in a manner that has made SEMAFO consider it appropriate to issue this press release."
Looks like NM has learnt from that and decided to follow a similar route...
The other key point to note is the point about the Warrant holders, there are 26,666,667 warrants exercisable at 35 cents that expire on the 7th April 2019... Both Solgold RNS specifically mention Warrant holders, not just shareholders...
Don't forget the other thing that this does, as has been previously mentioned on here, is draw attention to this dynamic and potentially looks to force the hand of a third party (i.e. not NCM or BHP) to make a move which will be good for both CGP and Solgold shareholders and the current valuation of both companies....
Just my 2 pence...
P.s. great to get clarity on the points CGP made relating to Blanca and ENSA.... Solgold have clearly taken their time, consulted Legal advice and come back clearly stating the position to reassure all shareholders involved...
