But just for proverbial giggles let's say it was out there......$500 million USD is equal to about $675 million in Canadian loonies. Of course there's the issue of the LOC, so let's assume that $675 million CDN is the whole kit and kaboodle and that some of those funds would be needed to pay off the LOC. I show the total owing as just under $70 million CDN, (please correct me if I'm wrong) but to keep the math stupid simple let's take $75 million and apply it to the loan....maybe there'd be penalties or something.
That leaves $600 million CDN.....Share outstanding are about 105 million....but then with warrants etc fully diluted it comes up around 120 million....so let's say 125 million just to be safe.
By my math a $675 million CDN buyout offer would translate to a PPS of around $4.80 CDN....but wait, there's royalty preferred shares and maybe some other sundry expenses that would take that $675 which is down to $600 after the LOC....maybe some more would come off as well. Being overly pessmisitic (I believe) let's peg those additional costs at another $100 million CDN which would bring the amount of $$$$ applicable to common to a nice round $500 million CDN, divided by 125 million fully diluted shares....that would peg the PPS in CDN dollars right around $4
Of course....would DM even let the markets know if some BP company was willing to pony up $500 million USD?
Any and all thoughts are welcome.....$4 would sure be a lot nicer than $2 and change.
Dude. You wouldn't accept 4 bucks now would you? I'll tell you what. I want the original 60 buck quote that was piped off early in the day. That's what I'll f-n settle for!!!
