OreCorp (ORR AU): Musings On The Minimum Bid Price

By David Blennerhassett

  • On the 27 Dec, to circumvent Perseus (PRU AU)‘s 19.9% dissenting vote, Orecorp (ORR AU) and Silvercorp (SVM CN) agreed to an off-market takeover, on the same terms. 
  • That Offer – A$0.19 in cash and 0.0967 new Silvercorp shares – opened on the 3 January.
  • Silvercorp paid ~A$0.51/share, on-market, just prior to the Offer. OreCorp is currently trading ~A$0.51-$0.52/share. Is there any legal obligation to set a minimum floor price of A$0.51/share?

Calima Energy Ltd (ASX: CE1): Selling Blackspur

By Auctus Advisors

  • • Calima is selling Blackspur for ~A$83.3 mm (C$75 mm) in cash to Astara Energy. • Calima Energy has ~A$4.1 mm in cash which remains with Calima together with a A$0.4 mm bond with BCOGC. • Overall, assuming only A$69 mm (equivalent to A$0.11 per share) will be distributed to shareholders (representing the minimum of 85% of the final sale proceeds) would leave Calima with ~A$15-16 mm in net cash on closing (equivalent to ~A$0.025 per share).
