Too much focus on the cash level for this company. What's more important is the completion of the QA. We all know the cash level as of March 20th is RM0.71. You can refer to the amount of cash in the trust as of March 20th in the circular regarding the QA. And by the end of 3 years the cash level should be RM0.728 (net tax and other costs). So cash level if you hold until maturity is 10% from RM0.66.
But what's more important is the approval of the QA. Why? Because if it is approve then share price will be way above RM0.75-0.80. The reason is simple, they need people to convert the warrants in order to pay off balance RM100mil which was supposed to be paid on staggered basis. With the conversion of warrant, they will get around RM200-300mil which is more than enough to pay for the balance of the acquisition (saving of 6% interest cost) and CAPEX for the well.
What's more important is why the QA is in Kazakhstan? The reason is simple.. It's because SC has dealt with oil well in Kazakhstan via Sumatec. As such, with prior experience the approval of the deal from SC is easier. Next hurdle is approval from shareholders. IMO, no investors are crazy enough to reject lest they are O&G specialist and think they deal is shitty.
I'm not surprise the share price will trade closer to RM0.71, ie the cash level. I think that is the minimal risk one can take since they 3rd year cash level is RM0.728 while providing upside if the deal is approved.
Think about it. Don't worry about the cash level. The fact is, it is trading way below it cash level!
mililia you are right, I didnt see that latest information. I was basing my calculation from the last published financial report and calculating the cash holding based 3% p.a interest.
I do not share your enthusiasm on the SPACS. Once the cash in the trust is gone, there will more and more cash calls to fund the operations etc. You can see Hibiscus as an example. The margin of safety is not there anymore once the QA is done.
My goal is to get my cash back and earn an arbitrage profit from the difference of the cash holding vs the current share price. I m doing the same for SONA and REACH as well.
n3lly, theoratically that makes sense. but if QA fails, you wont get your cash back and will need to wait till another one or till expiry so your returns will be somewhat reduced. So you need to calculate whether its worth the risk compare to the margin acc interest and brokerage etc.
If one is a risk taker and have full faith this QA will go through. Then one should just go for warrants. Every 1sen increase in mother share will also result in 1 sen increase in the warrant. The downside however, if QA fail then you won't get anything. That's why it is not my cup of tea. Too risky though it is rewarding.
N3lly: Don't be surprise a lot of people has already done what you have suggested. It is all about yield enhancement.
noby, u have good plan to arbitrage and earn the difference in interest. I guess the promoters and spac management will surely want to keep investor than to allow them to opt out due to funding needs
I guess the market price bfore egm is likely to be higher than cash out price - reasons are to get full support from shareholders. however if the asset acquired is below par, the price may go below the cash out price - then u have a good option
nice1: If QA is not done, you wont get your cash back. You only get it back if QA is approved but you are a dissenting shareholder. Even in that case I m not sure on the timeline on when the cash will be returned. But logically, like you/Mililia said, if management wants warrant holders to convert to get the additional funds, they must push up the share price so I intend to sell out if that happens
I got this from an article from The Edge Malaysia dated Dec 15th 2014
Counter Expected cash value at expiry CLIQ 0.728 SONA 0.485 REACH 0.766
assumptions are 3.2% p.a interest, 10% corporate tax and 1% other expenses.
If SPAC expires after 3 years you will get your money back. You can choose to opt out during EGM if QA is annouced but you wont get the cash back unless the QA goes through. Cause if QA does not go through they will continue to hold the cash while looking for new QA. Go checjk the prospectus
good question for all spacky counter as due diligence, legal cost, etc are very high for each oil assets
as spacky counter keep 90% in trust, balance 10% in current account for operations. Reach kept over 90% - around 94% in trust?
what if the 10% fund depleted before acquisition in 3 years? where they find the extra fund? will the expenses eat into the trust account later if no acquisition?
if cash back for cliq is around 73cts, promotors and spacky owner will want the market price to be 75 and above bfore egm. the higher the better for support for the qa
only fools sell Cliq now, considering that in just 1 year, whether QA successful or not, it's redemption value is 72sen. 10% upside. Zero risk, just like FD, but FD wont give u 10%!
speakup is right...whether 10% FD or not depends on how much they spend but he do get the money. See the SC guidelines below...
Rights of holders of voting securities who vote against a qualifying acquisition 6.25 Holders of voting securities (other than the members of the management team and persons connected to them) who vote against a qualifying acquisition at a meeting convened to consider the qualifying acquisition must be– (a) entitled to receive, in exchange for their securities, a sum equivalent to a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the trust account (net of any taxes payable and expenses related to the facilitation of the exchange), provided that such qualifying acquisition is approved and completed within the permitted time frame; and (b) paid as soon as practicable upon completion of the qualifying acquisition should they elect to exchange their securities. The securities tendered in exchange for cash must be cancelled. 6.26 The basis of computation for the pro rata entitlement must be disclosed in the prospectus.
If the deal went thru, your 10% FD will go to a nobody knows Kazakhstan Co (nobody knows who the actual boss is too...), then you have to pray the well are really there.....I think it is as good as the cash in the bank ac of China listed co here...
YES and NO. No, the deal will still goes through as they need 85% approval for QA but YES, if you one of them reject, you get your money back.....read the SC guidelines I paste above. You can download from www.sc.com.my.
If cost of production is low and at current price there is still good profit to be made, why all this hu huh ha ha? you all want the price to go down so can grab more? phui! wakakakaka
Amid concerns that special acquisition company Cliq Energy Bhd ( Financial Dashboard)’s purchase price for two assets in Kazakhstan is deemed high given that it was benchmarked against oil prices last December; it is worth noting that it could be adjusted downward by 5% or no less than US$218.5 million (RM803.95 million).
The 3% decline in its share price last Wednesday, a day after the special acquisition company announced its proposed qualifying acquisition (QA), reflects investors’ concern that the purchase price is deemed high as it is benchmarked against December 2014’s oil price — at about a 40% premium to the current market price.
“The US$70 (Urals crude oil) as stipulated in the announcement on Bursa Malaysia is just a reference as that was the benchmark during the time of the negotiations. If the independent valuer tells us that it is outside the current range, we have the option to renegotiate the price,” said Ahmad Ziyad.
First, overpriced, 2nd, can still nego - macam main main
However, the company still has 630.9 million convertible warrants units, which will expire come April 9, 2016. If all warrants are converted come expiry, CLIQ will have a gain of RM315.5mil.
“We are hoping for the warrant conversion of around US$80mil,” he says.
With that, CLIQ would be able to pay off its debts and still have almost US$40mil in cash to spare.
