RE:RE:RE:RE:What is the total cost to undo the capital structure?
RE:RE:RE:RE:What is the total cost to undo the capital structure? I've mentioned it before, but nobody commented (that I saw). Any thoughts on why (and let's try to be serious rather than just say "because management was stupid"), with a detailed, costed engineering report in hand, the cost overruns were so extensive? I know that the building renovation in Shawinigan was way more expensive than foreseen, by why was this (and any other cost overruns) the case?

The rate was high too, but people tend to forget that the original idea was to get into production and start paying back as soon as possible. Then came the cost overruns ...

While no doubt there will be some vultures in there hoping to achieve the steal of the century, there will also be some very keen industry players ready to pay for a potentially great project. And Pallinghurst / Traxys may be one of the latter? Remember this JV has 2b USD burning a hole in their pocket, and at present nowhere else to put it besides NMX. With the inclusion of IQ's 2-300m, it adds up to not far off what they originally intended to invest (PL-600m + IQ - 300m = 900m). This leaves a shortfall of around 200m which is approx what scissors alludes to. By my reckoning this would equate to around 0.20 new offer, but it's very doubtful they would include this in their first proposal (need some negotiation room). The best I think they'll come up with is 0.17. For us, a lot will also depend on what IQ does (equity / debt). My tuppence worth... ;-) GLTA longs
