Roswell Crash Survivor said:If you've received the Notice of Annual General Meeting for PEN in November, pay particular notice to:
Resolution 6 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
Resolution 9 - Share Placement Facility
Resolution 9 in particular involves giving the current management the option to issue up to 25,000,000 Ordinary OFP (Fully Paid Ordinary) Shares.
The number of PEN shares current issued is around ~173,000,000. Thats around 14.45% increase in the number of shares issued.
I don't particularly like increase in issued shares but theoretically since they're getting fair value for them then the balance sheet will have that much extra cash added to it and the value of each share doesn't change. Hopefully if the company is good then that money is put to good use then it actually increases the value of the company more than the dilution.
If they can issue those extra shares to fund stage 1 at karoo at a time when corperate debt raising is very hard for commodities companies then it might be a good thing. I assume they won't do this unless they have a need to, kind of line s debt facility they can choose to use our not use.
