LSE is my favourite forum. :)4 Aug 2017 15:05
but glancing at the other forum i notice a few worried PI's who are starting to worry whether RGM's 1.9% HHDL share sale to UKOG may not complete.
The positive that the sale will complete is that Stephen Sanderson is both the chairman of UKOG and HHDL. The 10th July UKOG rns says:
"Completion of the acquisition is conditional on the consent of HHDL. A further announcement will be made on completion"
So obviously with Mr Sanderson being chairman of HHDL you would think that the sale would definately complete. But some of the nail biting worriers on the other forum think that the deal is now so stacked in RGM's favour and so the ultimate decision maker Sanderson may now think the deal is not favourable to UKOG. For example the 10th July rns says the sale of 19 (or 1.9%) in HHDL shares from RGM to UKOG would cost UKOG £323,000. So £17,000 for each HHDL share. But in the 10th July rnses it says £268,502 of that sale money would be taken in UKOG shares and because of the dramatic share price in UKOG of late then that £268,502 is now worth around £1.3 million to RGM. So the original £323,000 sale agreement is now worth over 4 times times more to RGM.
RGM share price in UKOG was decided by the weighted volume average share price for the 30 days prior to June 29th (see UKOG 10th July rns) but for most of June UKOG had very low volume and the UKOG share price was around 1p; though later in the month the volume increased over 10 fold and by 28th June the UKOG share price was around 2.28p. So when the 30 day VWAP price was worked out at around 1.55p (RGM rns states this not UKOGs rns) i'm sure Mr Sanderson never envisaged that RGM end up getting so much money for their original £323,000 sale agreement.
Let's be optimistic though and let's hope the worries are eased tonight with a Friday night rns from both companies to say that the sale officially completed. :)
