Just bringing this thread up to date!

RNS 14/11/2012

As at 30 June 2012, the Company had unaudited current liabilities of approximately £6.25 million and no assets. Furthermore, the maturity date of the Loan Stock is 31 December 2012. As it is unlikely that the Acquisition will have completed by this date and the Company will not have sufficient cash reserves to meet its payment obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Stock, it is proposed that the terms of the Loan Stock are amended as follows:

the maturity date of the Loan Stock be extended from 31 December 2012 to 31 December 2013; and all interim interest payments be deferred until 31 December 2013, whereupon such interest payments that have accrued up to and including that date shall become immediately payable together with the outstanding principal amount.

The Loan Stock comprises £4,650,000 nominal of First Loan Stock and £1,190,000 nominal of Second Loan Stock.


RNS 6/2/2013

Loan Stock Holders will be asked to approve at the relevant class meetings of Loan Stock Holders amendments to the terms of their loan stock such that their holdings automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares upon the Contract Reinstatement. A total of 2,472,011 New Ordinary Shares will be issued to the holders of Loan Stock upon the Contract Reinstatement, which will represent 1.63 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares in issue following the Contract Reinstatement


So £5.8m plus accrued interest converts to 2,472,011 new ordinary shares

Based on GMA share price 0.255p(close 6/2 2013) and the proposed 500 for 1 new share consolidation this values 1 new share at £1.27

Loan stock conversion shares are therefore currently worth c.£3.1m

Looks like a 50% haircut for the GMA loan stock holders

(existing)GMA share price needs to be => 0.48p for loan stock holders to break even

Anyone like to confirm or disagree with my calculation?

Share price movement

Further to the announcement on 4 February 2013 regarding the conditional agreement to acquire 90 per cent. of the participatory interests in the charter capital of Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP ("KRMC") and the lifting of the suspension of dealings in the Company's Ordinary Shares, the Company notes the significant volume of trading in its shares and the rise in its share price.

Shareholders are reminded of the key parts of the Proposals:

- The Company is proposing a capital reorganisation which will have the effect of converting 500 Existing Ordinary Shares into 1 New Ordinary Share;

- The number of New Ordinary Shares in Issue at Admission will be 1,236,006, which represents the Existing Ordinary Shares in issue after the Capital Reorganisation is effective. The number of New Ordinary Shares at Admission will represent 0.81 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares in issue following the Contract Reinstatement;

- The Company is proposing to acquire 90 per cent. of the participatory interests in the charter capital of KRMC for a consideration of GBP40 million which will be satisfied through the issue of 148,320,720 B Shares by the Company. The Subsoil Use Contracts held by KRMC are presently suspended. Upon the Contract Reinstatement, the B Shares will automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis;

- Loan Stock Holders will be asked to approve at the relevant class meetings of Loan Stock Holders amendments to the terms of their loan stock such that their holdings automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares upon the Contract Reinstatement. A total of 2,472,011 New Ordinary Shares will be issued to the holders of Loan Stock upon the Contract Reinstatement, which will represent 1.63 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares in issue following the Contract Reinstatement;

- Upon the Contract Reinstatement, the Company will issue the Loan Stock Shares and the B Shares will automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis and there will be 152,028,737 New Ordinary Shares in issue. It is expected that dealings in the Loan Stock Shares and the New Ordinary Shares arising from the conversion of the B Shares will commence on the next business day following the Contract Reinstatement; and

- In the event that the Contract Reinstatement does not become effective on or before 31 May 2013, the Loan Stock Shares will not be issued and the B Shares will be converted into Deferred Shares. Furthermore, dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will be suspended on 3 June 2013, the Company will revert to being an investing company under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on AIM will be cancelled six months thereafter if the Company has not implemented its investing policy by that date.

The definitions used in this announcement are the same as those used in the announcement issued on 4 February 2013.

andrbea , correct - this is why the share price bears no resemblence to what we all thought was the value measure to go on (the 1 share for every 500 GMA shares in the newco). The market is valuing GMA on their share of the newco. resource value. Very hard to ascribe a meaningful value at this stage but some peeps have done their sums and taken a punt on GMA's small portion being worth a lot more than the amount we long suffering holders have ....
Posted at 05/2/2013 14:00 by highly geared
I think rrogans post may have hit the nail on the head; peoples are extrapolating a theoretical value from the potential mine deposits and ascribing a value of GMA's 1/500 effective stake.

Based on say £1billion of NAV deposits and taking a 1/500th share = £ 2million for GMA. It's all hypothetical at this stage but explains why the share price is trading above GMA's % of the notional market cap of the new entity (£40 million) based on the shares that will be in issue on the name change/admission.
Posted at 04/2/2013 17:30 by brasso3
I interpretted the RNS differently.

GMA have raised £40m by issueing 149m shares so the price must therefore be:-

£40,000,000 / 149,000,000 = 0.26p per share. Baring in mind that pre suspension the share price was 0.07p they have paid a 400% premium in a placing effectively. Therefore the share price should open around 0.26p in a logical market as we have no other way of associating value to the new company.

Then there is a 500:1 consolidation but it is 500 ordinary shares for one share and one deferred share so is it 250:1 consolidation?

So 618m + 149m = 767m shares in issue. 767 / 250 = 3m?

Now I am consfused so will re-read the RNS...

GMA Resources PLC
Proposed Acquisition
RNS Number : 0671X

GMA Resources PLC

04 February 2013


Proposed acquisition of Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP, conversion of loan stock, capital reorganisation, board changes, change of name, notice of General Meeting, notice of class meetings of Loan Stock Holders and readmission to trading on AIM


GMA Resources plc, announces that it has today entered into a conditional agreement to acquire 90 per cent. of the participatory interests in the charter capital of Joint Venture Kazakh-Russian Mining Company LLP ("KRMC").


Highlights

· KRMC is party to two subsoil use contracts in respect of two molybdenum and tungsten deposits in northern Kazakhstan. The Drozhilovskoye molybdenum-tungsten deposit in Denisovski rayon of Kostanai oblast and the Smirnovskoe molybdenum-tungsten-copper deposit in Karabalyksky rayon, also of the Kostanai oblast.

· The consideration of £40 million will be satisfied through the issue of 148,320,720 B Shares by the Company to Lother Enterprises Limited (the "Vendor") or, at the Vendor's request, to Bergfolk Corporation, Strathland Enterprises Limited and Hanson Central European Fund LP.



· The Subsoil Use Contracts are presently suspended. Upon the Contract Reinstatement, the B Shares will automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.



· The proposed acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. Shareholder approval to the acquisition and other matters is to be sought at a general meeting. Irrevocable undertakings have been received from holders of 27.6 per cent. of the Existing Issued Share Capital.



· Loan Stock Holders will be asked to approve amendments to the terms of their loan stock such that their holdings automatically convert into New Ordinary Shares upon the Contract Reinstatement. The approval of Loan Stock Holders to these proposals is being sought at the relevant class meetings of Loan Stock Holders. Irrevocable undertakings have been received from holders of 83.9 per cent. and 96.6 per cent. of the First and Second Loan Stock, respectively.



· Temporary suspension is expected to be lifted at 7.30 a.m. on 5 February 2013 following publication of the AIM Admission Document later today.







Strategy



· The Company intends, subject to financing, to commence a four stage process aimed at developing the Drozhilovskoye and Smirnovskoe deposits.



· Success with either or both deposits is expected to be followed over the following two to three years by the completion of a bankable feasibility study (a "BFS") for a large-scale mining operation producing molybdenum and tungsten concentrates plus potential other by-products.



· On completion of the BFS, the Company will review its strategic options: whether to finance and build an operating mine or to sell one or more deposits to another mine developer.



Capital Reorganisation:



· the effect of the Capital Reorganisation will be to convert every 500 Existing Ordinary Shares into one New Ordinary Share and one Deferred Share.



Change of name



· Upon Admission, the Company will change its name to Kemin Resources plc.



Commenting on the transaction, Ralph Browning, Non-Executive Chairman of GMA Resources plc and proposed Non-Executive Director of Kemin Resources plc, said:

"We are delighted to have agreed terms for a reverse takeover with a business owning potentially very substantial molybdenum and tungsten assets at an opportune time in the economic cycle. These assets have the potential to provide significant investment returns for longstanding supportive GMA bondholders and shareholders. I would like to thank everyone involved in this transaction and I look forward to working with the new Board to develop KRMC's assets."

26 September 2012

26 September 2012 AIM: GMA

GMA RESOURCES Plc

("GMA" or "the Company")

Half-Yearly Results for the six months ended 30 June 2012

Chairman's Statement

- Profit attributable to GMA shareholders in the six months ended 30 June 2012 of GBP4.72 million (H1 2011: GBP2.66 million loss) arising primarily from the disposal of the Company's Algerian subsidiary Enterprise d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or Spa ("ENOR") for a nominal sum on 17 April 2012.

- On 29 May 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a non-binding heads of agreement with a third party to acquire the Company which, if completed, would result in a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. As a result, the Company's shares were suspended from trading on the AIM market on 29 May 2012.

- In conjunction with the heads of agreement the same parties have also signed a loan agreement under which the vendor has agreed to advance up to GBP400,000 on an unsecured basis to provide on-going working capital for the Company to cover day-to-day costs and certain of the costs of the proposed reverse takeover transaction.

- Interest of LIBOR plus 5% will accrue on the outstanding balance, payable on repayment of the loan, which will be on 27 May 2013 unless the directors of GMA withdraw from the transaction or breach certain covenants, whereupon the loan becomes repayable on demand.

- For the purposes of concluding the proposed reverse takeover transaction Ken Crichton and I are the only remaining directors of the Company.

- It is our belief that the counterparty with which GMA has signed the non-binding heads of agreement and loan agreement represents the best option available to protect and enhance GMA bond holders' and shareholders' interests.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

1. Nature of operations and general information

As a result of the disposal of ENOR spa on 17 April 2012 and the subsequent approval of the Company's investing policy at the general meeting of the Company held on 6 January 2012, the Company has been re-classified as an investing company in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for Companies. As such it is obliged to make an acquisition(s) which constitutes a reverse takeover or otherwise have implemented its investing policy within 12 months from the date of the disposal, being 17 April 2013.

GMA Resources plc is the Group's ultimate parent company. It is incorporated in England and has its registered office at One America Square, Crosswall, London EC3N 2SG and its business address at Tower Business Centre, Tower Street, Swatar, Malta. The Group operates from its business address. The shares of GMA Resources plc are quoted on the AIM market which is operated by the London Stock Exchange.
2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 30 June 2012. They have been prepared based on the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The financial information for the period ended 30 June 2012 set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was modified by the inclusion of an emphasis of matter and a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. They are presented in UK Sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand (GBP'000) except where otherwise noted.
3. Going concern
On 4 May 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a non-binding heads of agreement with a third party to acquire the Company which, if completed, would result in a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules.

In conjunction with the heads of agreement the same parties have also signed a loan agreement under which the vendor has agreed to advance up to GBP400,000 on an unsecured basis to provide on-going working capital for the Company to cover day-to-day costs and certain of the costs of the proposed reverse takeover transaction.

The Company began drawing down the loan on 4 July 2012 and will continue to do so, on a monthly basis, in order to cover expenses.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis and do not include any adjustment that would result from the inability of the Group to raise additional funding if needed.

The diluted loss per share does not differ from the basic loss per share as neither the exercise of share options, nor the conversion of the loan stock, would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and are therefore not dilutive under the terms of IAS 33.

*The diluted earnings per share calculation involves the average share price for the period of account. The shares are currently suspended and so this information is not available. As a result, only the basic earnings per share measure is shown for the 6 months to 30 June 2012.

Statement Re. Share Price Movement

The board of directors of GMA note the recent movement in the Company's share price and confirms that it knows of no reason for this movement.

In the announcement issued on 17 April 2012, the Company stated that as of 31 March 2012, the Company had GBP63,000 of cash. The Company is continuing to evaluate several acquisition opportunities but has not signed heads of terms with any party. The Directors are continuing to seek to conserve cash as long as possible, but if the Board is unable to agree on a suitable acquisition in the short term, the Board will seek to place the Company in the hands of the Administrators to complete an orderly winding up of the Company before the Company exhausts its cash reserves.

As announced on 25 January 2012, the Company currently has 618,002,894 Ordinary Shares in issue and there is, in aggregate, GBP5.5 million of unsecured convertible loan stock which, together with accrued interest, is repayable in full on 31 December 2012, if not converted before that date. Conversion is at the option of the holder at any time prior to 31 December 2012. The conversion price on the loan notes is between 2.25p and 5p.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

AIM: GMA 21 December 2011

Proposed disposal of ENOR Spa and approval of investing policy

On 7 December 2011, the Company announced that it was in discussions regarding the sale of its interest in ENOR to Sonatrach for a nominal consideration. The Company announces that it has now agreed in principle the terms of the disposal of its 52 per cent. interest in ENOR, the operator of the Amesmessa Gold Mine within the Tirek Amesmessa Concession in Algeria, to Sonatrach. Sonatrach is an Algerian government-owned company whose diversified operations cover a number of different resource sectors including, but not limited to, oil and gas and mining. Sonatrach currently holds the remaining 48 per cent. shareholding in ENOR.

The reasons for the Disposal are set out below under the heading "Reasons for the Disposal".

The ENOR Interest is the only trading asset of the Group, accounting for all of the Company's revenues in the year ended 31 December 2011. Consequently, the Disposal constitutes a fundamental change of business under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules and is therefore conditional on the approval of Shareholders. Accordingly, the necessary resolution will be put to Shareholders during a general meeting of the Company which has been convened for 10.00 a.m. on 6 January 2012.

Proposed Principal Terms of the Disposal

The Company has now agreed in principle with Sonatrach the proposed terms of the Disposal. Pursuant to the Disposal, GMA Australia will transfer the ENOR Interest to Sonatrach for one dinar. The Company anticipates that the Disposal will be effected by way of a formal transfer and settlement agreement to be entered into by the Company, GMA Australia, Sonatrach and ENOR. The transfer and settlement agreement will include the additional agreed terms relating to the Disposal:

(a) the parties will agree to formally terminate the shareholders' agreement relating to ENOR;

(b) GMA and GMA Australia will agree to comply with all Algerian laws and regulations in force relating to the withdrawal of its operations from Algeria;

(c) GMA and GMA Australia will release ENOR and Sonatrach from any liability in relation to amounts owed to them by ENOR; and

(d) Sonatrach and ENOR will release GMA and GMA Australia from any historic and future liabilities arising under the shareholders' agreement and any guarantees such companies may have previously provided.

The parties are in the process of preparing the transfer and settlement agreement and it is envisaged that it will be executed shortly after the General Meeting.

Reasons for the Disposal

The grade of the mined ore at Amesmessa has fallen considerably since 2009 and the mining costs have risen due to an increasing strip ratio (increasing depth of mining). The revenue generated by the operation is unlikely to be sufficient to meet the obligations of ENOR, even taking into account current record gold prices. Extensive exploration, including more than 32,000 metres of drilling over the last 18 months, has not delineated any significant new or potential gold resources to give the Company confidence that this situation will improve or justify further investment in the future. GMA has invested in total over GBP33 million in ENOR and it cannot continue to sustain the financial burden of this loss making operation with no confidence that there is an economic justification to continue.

As at 30 June 2011, the Company had principal and interest outstanding on the Loan Stock amounting to approximately GBP5.8 million, which is repayable on 31 December 2012 if it is not converted into Ordinary Shares before that date. As at 30 November 2011, the Company had cash in hand of GBP210,000 being the Company's only asset other than its investment in ENOR. In the light of the ongoing costs of running the Company estimated to be GBP45,000 per month and the negligible consideration being received by the Company on completion of the Disposal, the Company will be unable to repay the Loan Stock. Accordingly, on completion of the Disposal, the Directors intend to commence negotiations with the principal holders of the Loan Stock with the intention of making the Company more attractive to potential third parties that may wish to reverse their assets or company into the Company.

Investing Policy

Following the Disposal, GMA will have no trading activities and will therefore be classified as an investing company in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules. The Company will retain cash balances of approximately GBP110,000 after paying certain expenses relating to the Disposal.

The Directors intend to seek to acquire another company or business in exchange for the issue of Ordinary Shares in a single transaction (a "reverse takeover"). The Directors' main investment criteria are that such a company should be:

-- a business operating in the mining sector with operations principally in a developing country;

-- one which requires little or no funding in excess of the cash resources available to the Company following the Disposal; and

-- one whose growth prospects, if achieved, will be earnings enhancing for Shareholders.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. However, the Company may make an investment which does not fulfil all the investment criteria if the Directors believe that it is in the interests of Shareholders as a whole to proceed with such an investment. It is expected that, at least, the first acquisition by the Company will constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules and will be conditional on the approval of Shareholders in general meeting and require the publication of an admission document.

As a result of the proposed Disposal and in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules, the investing policy must be approved by Shareholders in general meeting and the Company must implement the investing policy within 12 months of its approval, otherwise trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be suspended in accordance with Rule 40 of the AIM Rules. If following suspension of trading in the Ordinary Shares in accordance with Rule 40 of the AIM Rules, the Ordinary Shares have not been re-admitted to trading within six months, the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled.

Board Changes

In conjunction with the adoption of a new investing policy, the Board will be seeking to minimise the cost of running the Company to make it more attractive to potential acquisition targets. As part of the process David Netherway, Francois Gauthier and Omar El-Alfy will resign from the Board on completion of the Disposal. As a result, the Board will then comprise Kenneth Crichton and Ralph Browning as non-executive directors.

Irrevocable Undertakings

Kenneth Crichton and David Netherway (both directors of the Company) and Sahara Gold Limited have irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, in respect of their beneficial holdings totalling 170,781,624 Ordinary Shares in aggregate, which represents approximately 27.63 per cent. of the Company's issued Ordinary Shares.

Posting and availability of the Circular

A circular will be sent to shareholders later today convening a general meeting to be held on 6 January 2012, a copy of which will be available from the Company's website at www.gmaresources.co.uk.
