Extract from 6th June loan RNS19 Jul 2018 12:05
(1)Regency has agreed to borrow gross proceeds of $1,600,000 (net $1,520,000) from institutional investors in order to fund a portion of its obligations under the JV.
(2) The loan will carry a 10% interest rate and be for an initial term of six months,
(3 )and is subject to an implementation fee of $96,000.
(4) A further six-month extension available for a 5% fee"
.......................
Looks terrible loan terms doesn't it? It seems the initial loan was $1.6 million + $96,000 implementation fee (so $1.696,000) and RGM got $1520,000.
Also seems the interest is 10% over 6 months and so RGM will be paying a whopping $160,000 interest on this loan over the first 6 months.
.....
We are now creeping into the 7th week since the 6th June loan RNS and still no coal news. It's amazing that Kaintz and Bell sit in their office looking at each other like a couple of pilchards and in the meantime this massive loan is racking up over £6,000 interest (or debt) a week.
You would think eventually the big shareholders will have to remove Kaintz and Bell because they are clearly out of
their depth. I'm sure eventually the big shareholders will conclude "it's either them or us": they either stick with the
stagnating duo and sink or they make their move to try to rescue their investments.
