Consolidation 3 Mar 2015 10:01
Whilst this scheme looks quite complicated, and I haven't read it over and over yet. Consolidation means that if you had £1000 worth of shares beforehand, you'll still have £1000 worth of shares afterwards, albeit fewer shares that are worth more.
This also means that as the SP is below nominal value now and TXO cannot issue new equity, but post consolidation they'll be able to issue new equity/ dilute the shares of course.
"The Company is generally required to distribute the proceeds of such sale (after deduction of expenses of the sale) to the relevant shareholders in proportion to their fractional entitlements save that, where the proceeds of such a sale (after the deduction of expenses of the sale) do not exceed £5.00 (such threshold being that which is specified in the Listing Rules), the Company may retain such proceeds."
That section right there is where shareholders will/ may lose out
