“I am pleased we have achieved this payment extension and want to thank TEC for their continued support of the Company and the Strategic Review currently underway with Peters & Co. that is focused on enhancing shareholder value,” said Pieridae’s Chief Executive Officer Alfred Sorensen. “This extension to the end of 2021 gives us the time to continue to pursue the strategic review process with the goal of concluding a transaction that is beneficial to the Company.”
First of all- you should be able to recognize that as expected spin. I’m not saying it is ONLY spin. But the only thing we know for sure is that it is the expected spin.
- What Peters & Co are selling the extensive gas assets. That is what there is a prospectus for. There is no concrete evidence of selling the LNG business. Sorensen says everything is up for sale- but there is lots of evidence the gas assets are actively for sale, and no evidence anyone is pushing the LNG business or the whole company intact.
- Pieridae purchased the Shell assets for $156million. The TEC term loan of $206million covers that purchase price, plus $50million to repay AIMCO for the past due loan for buying the Ikkuma assets.
- PEA pays TEC 12% on the term loan, plus another 3%. For at least 4 quarters now TEC has been allowing PEA to put that 3% on to the principal. That and other charges have increased the principal to at least $220million.
- Plus PEA is now overdue for paying the $50million “fee” to TEC for the privilege of being soaked. So TEC was supposed to be paid $50million now. And is supposed to be paid in full in 2 years, the face value of $220million and climbing steadily.
- PEA has not and cannot pay anything on the principal. The fiction is that this “strategic review” is for the benefit of shareholders… and on paper the process follows that format. The hawking of the gas assets is being forced by TEC (possibly in concert with Shell).
- PEA has accumulated and growing Accounts Payable from the gas operations of well over $100million. They still have that if they sell the assets. So these assets they bought 2 years ago for $156million (after Shell could not sell them to anyone else for over 2 years, with rising gas and liquid prices)….. if they get sold for over $400million, Pieridae might make a dime or so.
