CNC 2023
With Scotiabank (MC CDN $78 Billion) and Deutshse Bank (MC CDN $30 Billion) onside - the chances of a hostile takeover have diminished considerably:
“Deutsche Bank and Scotiabank will assist the company with the evaluation of strategic and financial alternatives for the equity portion of the project financing.”
Aggressive moves by LG Energy Solution, GM, Volkswagen, and Tesla etc. dictate that they will need multi-billions of pounds of clean nickel over the next decade:
“The Company has been engaged in discussions with a number of strategic and industry participants over the past 18 months.”
After the feasibility study is released in a few weeks - the deal tension will increase immediately, and you can set the clock on the inevitable bidding war:
“The financial advisors will also assist the Company in providing defense advisory and planning. In addition, the Company is engaged in discussions with multiple groups and expects to appoint an advisor for the debt portionof the project financing in early 2023.”
