Best way to play this situation16 Jun 2022 09:57
To gain the most from this 'opportunity', if you have a decent number of shares, say 100,000,
this would allow you to buy 12,500 'new shares' in the open offer,
as you can buy 1 'new share' for every 8 you currently own.
Each 'new share' gives you a 9p option should you wish to purchase them at a later date, even if the SP is say 20pence.
The OO is subject to approval at the AGM, but that is highly likely as it would need 25% of the little guys to vote against, I don't see that happening.
So my recommendation for anyone with sizable shares, who either doesn't have the cash to buy more shares in the OO, or doesn't want more Rock exposure, is to sell 1/8th of your shares, especially if you can at or get more than 7p, and to buy them all back in the OO and have 9pence warrants attached to use at a later date if the SP rises.
