Rosso - concur. SD has already stated that he will have surplus cash to 'expand ops', now the money is available.
And by paying back NCM now for the $26m already spent (from the $50). @ BBSY rates instead of Libor, he has saved the company $1+m. He also shaved off $6+m from the Pacific Trades debt arrangements. $7m saved in one month of wheeling and dealing.
The contract with NCM @ production states that NCM have first call on debt repayment from GGP profits, from the word - go. This means the figure NCM uses is non negotiable. It could be steep.
Now that GGP has the conditional debt sheets signed up, it means GGP will have more control over debt payback costs between production and 2032. This will spread the load more evenly.
[I wonder if SD was a CFO in an earlier life ;)].
