RRR/POW Aussie Gold Deal Update26 Sep 2024 12:27
Just ran few more quick numbers on this RRAL/RRR/POW deal to try and quantify what the RRR & POW positions could be once RRR are out of default and have paid POW all the terms of the deal. Lots of variables involved but lets assume the following:
1) RRR elect to pay POW in equity at all of the hurdles of the RRAL deal apart from the £250,000 that is due in cash.
2) The upcoming placing post GM in October 2024 will be at 0.035p
Current RRR float = 5,004,338,042
Shares raised at 0.035p to pay £250,000 cash to POW = 714,285,714 shares issued
Shares raised at 0.035p to pay the £94,400 outstanding loan to POW = 269,714,286 shares issued
Shares raised at 0.035p to cover POW's £250,000 CLN = 714,285,714 shares issued (+ 357,142,857 warrants at 0.0525p)
Shares raised at 0.035p in March 2025 to cover the final £250,000 payment = 714,285,714 shares issued (+357,142,857 warrants at 0.0525p)
So just to clear all the RRR obligations to POW, RRR at 0.035p would need to raise circa 2.4 billion additional shares just to clear their obligations to POW in regards to the Aussie Gold deal. The RRR float would increase to 7.4bil and almost all of the 2.5bil headroom increase proposed in the GM in a few weeks would be instantly covered. There are then clear and obvious questions around how RRR finance the rest of their business but that's a totally different topic.
The alternative is not pay POW, go into default on the deal you signed literally a few months ago and the company's survival in these markets could be seriously called into question.
Assuming the placing goes ahead, POW would walk away with £250k cash + around 1.9bil RRR shares (+0.7bil 0.0525p warrants) per the calcs above. Of the enlarged circa 7.4bil shares now in issue, this is around a 25% stake in RRR that POW would hold.
Of course, if the RRR SP improves and a placing at a higher price than 0.035p can be done, then dilution for RRR holders is reduced and POW walk away with a smaller stake and less warrants in RRR.
Lots of variables above but should give a reasonably accurate picture of what's at stake here for both POW & RRR.
