The Perfect Strategy?

I think pondering more on how they’ve set up the deal, in many ways an absolutely fantastic deal from their perspective as the team have set GGP up quickly for future regional dominance with a very very decent price tag and this is true for us too.
And even better for the company and Wyloo, they also develop a more stable shareholder base by issuing these shares and gaining II dominance vs less stable and unpredictable retail shareholders that you can’t win over and mobilise collectively easily - usually the way as things get more complex as the company grows in both size and assets to manage.
A good way to secure their participation is focusing more of the debt funding on Hav development instead of on the acquisition of both assets - thereby minimising future dilution for development of Havieron to them as part of the sell-in.
LTH are absorbing the pain right now, not really Wyloo or the new entrants inc. the II’s especially and again their future pain of more dilution is minimised (alongside ours) for Havieron development as part of the combined sell-in for all parties. He’ll focus on this a lot with us I imagine at TH etc.
It’s a genius play by GGP to get everything they want in one move, all the assets and interests in a mining company they can easier control with a more stable shareholder base moving forward.
Especially painful for PI’s with higher averages unfortunately of course, but I’m beginning to understand this better now with a bit of time to absorb.
I don’t think it’s screwing us over as such, more so ‘it’s just business’ and from a strategy POV, it’s actually perfect and indicative of how damn smooth this team is.
