08/04/2024 07:00 RNS Regulatory News Aura Renewable Acquisitions PLC Final Results LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc

"8 April 2024 - Aura Renewable Acquisitions plc, a UK-based company whose objective is to build shareholder value by investing in the global renewable energy supply chain, announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The Company has continued to seek suitable acquisition and investment targets while operating with minimal overheads following its admission to the Standard Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in April 2022, raising gross proceeds of £1,000,000 from a placing and subscription. In the year to 31 December 2023, the Company incurred a loss before taxation of £153,000 (2022: £236,000). At 31 December 2023, the Company retained cash resources of £661,000 (2022: £809,000).

Aura was established to acquire then act as the holding company for targeted businesses operating in the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain, particularly participants in the battery, wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, carbon capture, waste management, smart grids and green hydrogen supply chain, and their sub-sectors. These potential targets could range from raw materials resourcing to power generation, energy storage and recycling.

During the year the board has met and assessed potential acquisition targets in the UK and overseas while maintaining close connections with potential business introducers from within the Board's professional and business networks. By reinforcing the board's intentions and objectives to these potential introducers of opportunities, we have maintained a pipeline of potentially significant targets and held early and encouraging discussions with a number of companies in a range of sectors and jurisdictions.

Internationally, governments and policy makers continue to affirm their collective commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in order to limit climate change - while seeking to balance energy sustainability, affordability and security. By way of example:

- In March 2024 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the International Energy Agency underlined their joint approach to addressing climate change.

- As announced in November 2023, the EU contributed €28.5 billion in climate finance from public sources and mobilised a further €11.9 billion of private finance in 2022 to support developing countries in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change.

- The United States government remains engaged in multiple sectors to meet its climate goals, its Inflation Reduction Act delivering large emission reductions at manageable cost.

- In the UK, the Electricity System Operator emphasised the importance of wind power as it unveiled in March 2024 a £58 billion investment in the electricity grid to decarbonise power while meeting growing energy demand by 2035.

- On 27 March 2024 the UK electricity regulator Ofgem announced a £3.4 billion funding package for a proposed 2GW 'electricity superhighway' between Scotland and Yorkshire, to help harness the potential of Britain's offshore wind, powering up to 2 million homes.

- Also in March 2024, the UK Government announced initiatives to improve energy market efficiency, while further investments in renewable energy transmission and distribution have been announced by both share price Energy Networks and ScottishPower. Meanwhile, demand for both solar PV and heat pump small-scale installations has risen substantially.

Against this highly positive background, our investment horizon is wide within our chosen sector, and we will continue to assess and qualify what we believe to be value accretive opportunities wherever they arise. When our ongoing evaluation and investigation result in the potential for a transaction, the Company will give the market appropriate notice.

John Croft, the Chairman of Aura commented:

"The ongoing economic and political uncertainty caused by supply chain issues, inflation, interest rate rises, hostilities in Europe and further afield, continued to restrict capital market activity during 2023. However, early signs of interest rate reductions on the back of lower inflation figures should have a positive impact on markets. We remain confident that the renewable energy sector will offer excellent opportunities for acquisitive and organic growth and are committed to ensure that the Company and its stakeholders have the chance to share in these opportunities. We believe our strategic approach to finding the right transaction, while closely controlling overheads will prove successful."

06/03/2024 13:08 RNS Regulatory News Spiritus Mundi PLC Proposed Acquisition and Suspension of Listing LSE:SPMU Spiritus Mundi Plc

"Spiritus Mundi plc, (LSE:SPMU), the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) seeking to acquire targets in Europe and Asia in the clinical diagnostics sector, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a heads of terms (the "Head of Terms") to acquire the entire issued share capital of InReste Pte. Ltd. ("InReste") (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The Proposed Acquisition would constitute a reverse takeover under the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA")'s Listing Rules.

InReste operates in the healthcare sector, offering a range of innovative technologies and solutions, including through its related companies. It is an integrated healthcare and wellness provider with an established biomedical research and development arm that holds exclusive patents over a number of clinical diagnostic tests. InReste is currently in the process of undertaking a corporate reorganisation such that, prior to entering into the Proposed Acquisition, it will own the entire issued share capital of Restalyst Pte. Ltd. ("Restalyst") and Reste Laboratories Pte. Ltd. ("ResteLab") (the "Restructuring"). ResteLab operates a 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art laboratory in central Singapore, offering a comprehensive selection of testing, screening and laboratory services to clinicians and healthcare professionals. It is automated to process laboratory tests quickly, turning around up to 10,000 tests daily.

Zaccheus Peh, the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, is a controlling shareholder of InReste and is expected to hold a controlling interest in InReste following completion of the Restructuring. ..."




SPMU has been suspended today at a share price of 3.75p, market cap. £2.22M.

And as at 30 September 2023 the Company held £498,626 in cash.

I.e. a market cap. at suspension of nearly four times more than ARA's (at 5.75p), despite having far less cash than ARA.

So on 25th. January 2024, N. Fitzpatrick crossed the 4% holding threshold for ARA, having previously crossed the 3% threshold in July 2023.

This further shows that he's obviously a shrewd investor, not only identifying this outstanding & undervalued investment opportunity, but then also cannily accumulating on dips.

TMOR, a similar shell to ARA, has today announced a placing at a 100% premium to its pre-existing share price of 0.5p:-

Board Restructuring

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Neil Sinclair as the Company's new Executive Chairman, and Stanley Davis as a Non-executive Director to the Board.

Neil Sinclair - Executive Chairman

It subsequently merged with Conrad Ritblat in 1993, when he became Executive Deputy Chairman. Neil was appointed Chairman of Baker Lorenz, surveyors in 1999, which was sold to Hercules Property Services plc in 2001. He was appointed a non-executive director of Tops Estates plc in 2003 and remained so until it was sold to Land Securities plc in 2005.

He co-founded Palace Capital plc with Neil Sinclair in July 2010 and helped build a GBP280m property portfolio. He served as Chairman until December 2021. ..."




This further shows the intrinsic undervaluation of a main-listed shell trading at sub-cash, like ARA.
Posted at 16/1/2024 16:58 by hedgehog 100
The two key 'green' ARA directors are David Fitzsimmons and Guy Ranawake.


From ARA's prospectus dated 5 April 2022:-

" ... The Directors believe that their existing relationships will enable the Company to access investment opportunities in the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain. In particular, David Fitzsimmons and Guy Ranawake provide the Board with considerable experience and in-depth knowledge of the global renewable energy market. The Company will continue to conduct research and regularly monitor the renewable energy industry for potential targets. ..."




In Messrs Fitzsimmons & Ranawake, you could hardly wish for a more ideally and impressively suited pair of directors to attract and arrange a great green energy RTO:-

"David Fitzsimmons, Non-Executive Director

David Fitzsimmons is highly experienced in the energy business, in both executive and non-executive positions. After a 27-year career with BP, from 1978 to 2004, he served as CEO of the UK listed renewables company Novera Energy for 4 years, from 2005 to 2009.

David has also been appointed as a director of the Skinners’ Academy, with effect from 1 January 2022. David was made Chairman of Dig Deep in 2021, having been a director and trustee since 2017, a charity that brings clean water and hygiene training to rural communities in Kenya.

Guy Ranawake, Non-Executive Director​

Guy Ranawake is an experienced financial professional with considerable experience in the renewable energy space. He is currently an Independent Adviser to a variety of technology-focused SMEs including Exagen (from 2020) (a grid-scale solar and storage developer), with a particular focus on business strategy and capital raising.

Slice,

"DYOR" can be a cop out phrase from posters who don't have faith in their own judgement.

In your case, what you're really saying is: 'If this multibags, don't blame me'.

Well, as you got JADE so wrong, it certainly doesn't instill confidence in your investment ability, does it.

For starters, ARA has four directors, of whom John Croft is just one, and apparently you don't have any issue with the other three.

But also apparently, if those other three were Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs, you still wouldn't touch this, regardless of any other criteria!

And JADE was a completely different situation to ARA: its largest investment was a quarry in China, which would be very risky anyway, and was badly hit by the pandemic. How exactly was John Croft supposed to have prevented that?

You're obviously a complete numpty, so may I suggest that you stop blaming others for your own poor investment decisions, and start studying investment.

ARA should be issuing a post year end operational update soon, as in 2023, and any indication of a RTO deal being close could potentially give quite a boost to the share price from this current lowly level.

The CODX RTO price hasn't actually been set: 10p is just the nominal (or par) value of each CODX share, which shares will be issued to pay for the RTO.

Though I think it's reasonable to assume that 10p/share will be the minimum issue price, 10p being the price at which CODX raised its cash before and at its floatation, but it could be higher. CODX has had low cash burn, like ARA.

(UK companies can't actually issue shares at below their nominal/par value, albeit that value can be changed at a general meeting.)

And the CODX share price performance since its March 2022 float, at 10p/share like ARA's, has been not dissimilar to ARA's: CODX started off trading at a large premium (15p s.p.), before declining over time, to its current share price of just 5.5p, at which it has been suspended for its RTO.
