warrants are exercisable after completion of acquisition. ie approximately 20 days from shareholders approval garnered from agm yesterday. at the current level, warrants are at a discount as its exercisable at .50 per share. warrant is at 1.09 now, add .50 the cost per share after conversion is 1.59. shares are trading at 1.72 presently. meaning a .13 gain per warrant converted to shares. it would be a motivation to accumulate warrants at current levels. trust this clears, laxlav.
I concur. The warrants are at a good dicount now and can be exercised in 20 days time. Right now, this counter is weeding out the weak holders, but the value has yet to be unlocked. The prudent thing is to hold.
Looks like more good news may be brewing. Indeed,hold or accumulate...
Star Biz Friday April 6, 2012 Hibiscus Petroleum sets up Aussie unit
PETALING JAYA: Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd announced to Bursa Malaysia that its wholly-owned subsidiary Oceania Hibiscus Sdn Bhd has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, Carnarvon Hibiscus Pty Ltd with an initial paid-up share capital of A$95 comprising 95 ordinary shares of A$1 each.
PETALING JAYA: Lime Petroleum Plc, in which Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd has a 35% stake, has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Norway-based North Energy ASA and Rex Oil & Gas Ltd to give it interests in four additional oil and gas concessions in Norway.
The total acreage of the four Norwegian concessions is about 3,412 sq km, of which partial interest shall be assigned to Lime's wholly owned subsidiary, Lime Petroleum Norway ASA, a company incorporated in Norway. The Norwegian concessions are governed by production licence agreements.
“The potential volumes in the concessions have not been verified by an independent party. Obviously some internal estimates have been made which resulted in these concessions being selected but until we have done more work and properly verified our data, we would not like there to be speculation on the potential of these concessions,” said Hibiscus managing director, Dr Kenneth Pereira.
A technology services agreement between North Energy and Rex will be executed simultaneously under which, Rex will exclusively deliver certain technology services to North Energy with regards to production licences in which a share is assigned to Lime.
“The key services to be delivered will be the interpretation of seismic data held by North Energy. The Rex Technology Services Agreement will end on Dec 31, 2012 without any right of early cancellation of termination,” said Hibiscus in a press statement.
Lime has at least a three-year exclusive access to Rex Technologies in the Middle East while North Energy will have access to these technolgies in the Norwegian Concessions up to Dec 31, 2012 through the proposed acquisition of Norwegian interests by Lime.
“Rex had performed a number of tests on selected North Energy assets using Rex Technologies, and thus, Rex and Lime were subsequently offered the opportunity to participate in North Energy's production licences,” Hibiscus told Bursa Malaysia.
It said a framework sale and purchase agreement would be signed before April 30, 2012. There will also be a special sales and purchase agreement (SSPA) for each interest to be acquired.
“The SSPAs will include Dec 31, 2012 as a long-stop date, after which the obligations of the parties to complete the various agreements will cease for any of the assigned interests which has not been transferred prior to the long-stop date,” said Hibiscus.
Meanwhile, the assigned interests to Lime will be effective from Jan 1, 2012.
Norway is the world's third largest gas exporter and the world's sixth largest oil exporter. Globally, Norway was fourth in development investments in 2011. The average annual oil and gas discoveries in Norway which recorded a discovery hit rate of 51.1% in 2011
These Norwegian concessions are on top of the fourth concession in the Middle East which Lime was supposed to give Hibiscus as a condition to completing its acquisition of Lime.
Hibiscus is not required to pay anything more for these concessions, as under its earlier agreement with Lime Petroleum, any future acquisitions will only be paid by Lime.
Exercise price is 0.50, conversion ratio is 1 : 1, hence the stock price for WA warrant is very cheap. We should buy warrant WA rather than the mother share.
We were told that we can convert WA to mother after 20 days fm Shareholdres approval on 21.3.12. Since WA is in the $$, we shd convert now. Can someone reconfirm?
Mr Ooi, you were saying that the warrant will adjust its price to meet the mother share price ... Is there a possibility that the mother price will adjust herself (unfortunately downward) to meet the warrant? At the moment the price gap is quite a bit. It is either the warrant is underpriced by 40 sen OR the mother share is overpriced by 40 sen..... But like people said, the decision to buy or not is always our ownself .... Have a nice weekend.
puzzling. their investment in Lime is solid, the new signed contracts are legitimate....yet the stock does not move. I believe it is punters distracted with other newsbreaks or investors seeing too many opportunities, worried of spreading too thin or the SPAC is too foreign to comprehand. i would focus on the strength in fundamentals of the acquisitions and contracts.
yen boy, I mean you convert WA to Mon will take 20 days. During this period, anything could happen, let say both mon and son drop below your converted price.
got to check with the company whether the wa can be exercised now. there has been no announcement from the company to date. there are conditions when the wa can be exercised.
info from the HIBI website http://www.hibiscuspetroleum.com/ cleared most, if not all of my concerns raised from this forum. 'cheese', 'jameslim' and 'zemen' gave us all good updates.
from the website you can confirm that there is no 20 days conversion period. it only takes 8 processing days from completion of the acquisition which is underway now. everyone here can get all the info i got from the company website to make a firm investment decision.
i have experience in convert the warrant to mother. it only take 8 trading day period after u have paid exercise price of 50sen. i earn around 6% after conversion recently.=)
