RE:A successful claim for damage....Ozgood- what an awesome find! Here are some excerpts from that verdict that I found applied: [5] Stetson needed to raise funds in order to pursue the Bakken opportunity. Stetson’s market capitalization at the time was $15 to $20 million. (Very similar to PFC’s market cap in pursuit of the Georgina Basin) [6] Stetson wanted to raise funds through a bought deal financing because it wanted a guarantee with no financing risk. In a bought deal, the underwriter agrees to purchase the issuer’s securities at a fixed price and takes the risk of selling them in the market at a profit. [171] Stetson acknowledges that there are two possible ways that its damages can be calculated. The first is based on the difference between the 55 cents that Weisel was to pay to purchase the Stetson shares and the 20 cents that Canaccord agreed to pay, which is 35 cents, multiplied by the 45,454,600 shares provided for in the bought deal. This results in an award of $15,909,110. Stetson contends that damages should be calculated on a per share, rather than an aggregate basis [174] Stetson is also entitled to the expenses it had to incur in borrowing money on an interim basis that it needed to comply with its lease obligations, which borrowing would not have been required had Weisel not breached the engagement letter. (Apply this to PFCs dilution from 35% to 20%. PFC didn’t have to borrow money to comply with their lease obligations, but use the value of their land in lieu, giving Statoil an additional 15%. This would not have been required had McQuarie not breached the engagement letter) Also what I like most about this is it’s a Canadian O&G Junior suing an investment firm, exactly the same as we have here with PFC and McQuarie- the precedent has been established on many levels. I think we stand a chance here. And given what was used to calculate the payout (the per share price in the bought deal financing multiplied by # shares), I think PFC would qualify for the full $15M they lost (1$ per share X 15M shares McQuarie was going to purchase). Not saying that will be the outcome, just that in the case ozgood referred to, that was the outcome. There may be other factors/clauses in that agreement with McQuarie that we are not aware of.
