RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:today's tradingMeester- particularly happy to receive a dividend bonus when most of my RMC stocks are now or will shortly be locked in UK tax exempt ISA's! RMC management appear to have multiple options open, especially like it if RMC were able to retain the unexplored/ non-optioned properties.
A combination of FCX shares and cash included in a deal would not be a bad outcome either as long as the cash figure included is above the $10 mark as a starting point. If issued on a 1FCX per 10 RMC shares basis Freeport would only have to issue 4 m shares... That combined would be a cash equivalent valuation of circa half a billion based on the current FCX share price. Is the RMC retained percentage based on the latest NI43-101 considered to be near that sort of valuation? FCX issuing 4m or even 10m new shares plus cash to aquire the RMC property would be a drop in the water against their existing 1billion shares.
Does anyone have any precedents of typical combined stock and cash deals that have been negotiated over the years?
