High River Gold Mines Ltd > Even if remaining $106.5M debt... to shares

Even if remaining $106.5M debt... to shares


Theoretically, if minority investors keep saying NO to the deal and Severstal converts the $106.5M remaining debt for shares (in small portions over time, via the loophole, and the blessing of "HRG Management"), at a conversion price of $.22, then the maximum ownership they can get (via strictly this method) is about 75% of the company.

The total outstanding shares would be:

 1,133,303,949 (after full conversion of debt at hugely discounted prices, after screewing minority shareholders royally, while all the regulatory bodies just sit back and watch, IMO) = 649,213,040 current (including shares Severstal just picked up) + 484,090,909 more shares (the so-called HRG Management will gift wrap and hand over to Severstal for the remaining $106.5M debt)

Even with all of this robbery (in my view), the takeout price should still be $1.06 and not $.22.

The value of HRG's peers is minimum $1.2 Billion (last I checked, a few days ago, Reb Back Mining $2.1 billion, Eldorado Gold $3.8 billion, Randgold Resources $6.0 billion).

$1,200,000,000 peer  value / 1,133,303,909 = $1.06 per share

So, NO, I don't buy the agrument that just because everyone has rolled out the red carpet for Severstal, that minority shareholders should just accept $.22.  Severstal will have to do more than just convert the debt in order to pick up the remaining 25% of HRG, if minority shareholders overwhelmingly continue to reject their insulting offers.

production, is the 106.5M after the current private placement which reduces debt by 10M? If not, then need to recalculate.  Thanks

Hi hrgagogo, the $106.5M is as follows:$122M (last published by HRG) less $15.5M which the company said was due May/June timeframeAs such, our current debt total is $106.5M (which factors in the $10M June payment).

Thanks production.  Just looked at the updated list and do not see your name on it.  Just wondering why, if you have already explained reason, may have missed it.  Thanks

Hrgagogo, that's a good question.It is because there is serial basher (with a string of continuous multi-aliases) on a Stockhouse site for one of my other investments.  He seems to take a special interest in me, and especially with personal info I've posted in the past.  He is a meticulous poster / paid basher, who even goes back 4 years sometimes to dig out personal info I ...more

is that other company CMM?
Comment by production05 on Jun 11, 2009 5:02pm
Yes, correct! It looks like he even managed to sabotage a poll question on the blog today. Read Carib's (the administrator's) message on the blog. https://www.stockigloo.com/

That is another play with a huge upside - went from 1 cent to 28 cents (now back down, awaiting confirmation of financing). I was able to get in around 6 cents. My second biggest holding after HRG.

Hi NCI'm still here reading everything - along with the same amount of shares.  I am with everyone and will only say yes to over $1.  Planning on going to the AGM.  I am also on the same other play and reading the other board - just waiting for confirmation of financing as well.Thanks
