ZEG's market cap. at its suspension price of 30.4p was £1.89M., which like ARA was less than its cash per share. ..." ZEG (Zegona Communications) has been a cracking RTO, and at its current share price of 424p it has now c. 14-bagged from its pre-RTO suspension price. And encouragingly for ARA's proposed ZCT RTO, this was also a Spanish RTO, and successfully raised EUR300 million - at 150p:- 09/11/2023 11:34 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Zegona Communications PLC Proposed Placing LSE:ZEG Zegona Communications Plc "Further to the announcements of 31 October 2023 in connection with the Company's acquisition of Vodafone Spain for EUR5.0bn, Zegona announces a proposed placing to raise gross proceeds of approximately EUR300 million (GBP261 million) (the " Placing " ).

Posted at 10/12/2024 17:38 by hedgehog 100 Anyone kicking themselves at missing out on ARA could do worse than to take a look at ROC.Currently 2.25p, market cap. £286K., about half its likely cash after £452.5K. incoming cash due within a week. "Rockpool Acquisitions (ROC)" |
Posted at 09/12/2024 12:35 by hedgehog 100 True, but only £1M. absolutely has to be raised through equity, which for directors of this calibre, and with their contacts, should be no problem.The rest could potentially be through some combination of debt and grants. And unlike some other shells, ARA have been thoroughly 'testing the investment market' ahead of any deal, to see in advance what investors will fund. The valuations and business prospects here look credible enough to get this over the line. |
Posted at 09/12/2024 12:19 by hedgehog 100 "Valuation: ZCT's pre-money valuation is required to be a minimum of £30 Million. The pre-money value of ARA will be calculated as 10% of the pre-money value of the merged group, excluding the proceeds of the proposed Capital Raise and the Target Financing, such that ARA shareholders will hold 10.0% on an undiluted basis of the shares in ARA immediately after completion of the Proposed Acquisition, excluding those issued to investors under the proposed Target Financing and Capital Raise."So a £3M. valuation for current ARA shares, with 10,500,000 shares currently in issue, equates to a valuation of 28.57p per ARA share. Compared to a current ARA share price (suspended) of 4.25p, market cap. £446,250. I.e. an increase 'on paper' of over 6.7 times: over 570%! Thanks and well done to ARA's management for arranging this proposed deal, and fingers crossed that it completes. And well done to ARA shareholders who had the patience and understanding to hold on. I always felt that one day it would finally be 'our turn' here, and it feels sweet that it's finally come. |
Posted at 09/12/2024 11:17 by hedgehog 100 09/12/2024 08:00 RNS Regulatory News Aura Renewable Acquisitions PLC Proposed Initial Transaction LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc"Proposed Initial Transaction - acquisition of Zero Carbon Technologies Limited Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc, a UK-based company, whose objective is to invest in the global renewable energy sector supply chain and thereby build shareholder value, is pleased to announce that as of 6 December 2024, it has entered into heads of terms (the "Heads of Terms") with Zero Carbon Technologies Limited ("ZCT"), a UK incorporated company with planned battery recycling operations in Europe, which set out the key terms for ARA to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of ZCT, in consideration for the issue of ordinary shares in ARA to the shareholders of ZCT, subject to due diligence, as well as the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements (the "Proposed Acquisition", to which ARA and ZCT are the "parties"). The Heads of Terms are non-binding except with regard to confidentiality, exclusivity, costs and other customary conditions for a transaction of this nature which are binding. About Zero Carbon Technologies Limited The directors of Zero Carbon Technologies Limited expect that it will be an innovative leader in the battery recycling sector, dedicated to providing sustainable solutions for the recycling of Lead-Acid batteries ("LAB") and Lithium-ion batteries. Leveraging intellectual property licensed from Regenerate Technology Global and Cambridge University, ZCT plans to expand its operations into EV battery recycling. It intends to use advanced recycling technology to recover black mass containing critical materials, including copper, lithium, cobalt, manganese and nickel. ZCT was incorporated in the UK on 26 May 2021, and has a non-binding agreement for a proposed business combination (which it is intended will be completed prior to the Proposed Acquisition) with Clean Tech Lab S.L. ("CTL") (incorporated in Spain). ZCT is in the process of acquiring land, buildings, and equipment with a view to establishing two advanced recycling facilities in La Mancha province, Spain. The board of directors of ZCT considers that the sites will be strategically located for both logistical efficiency and regulatory advantages. ZCT will manage the operations of these planned plants, with the first facility in Puertollano intended to begin commissioning in Q1 2025, followed by a facility in Montalbo anticipated to begin commissioning in Q4 2025. With an estimated potential combined annual processing capacity of 75,000 tonnes of LAB -equivalent to approximately 1.5 million used units - ZCT aims to recover up to 99% of the materials in these batteries, including by enhancing lead oxide, a valuable composite containing recycling minerals. This capability will be driven by proprietary technology, licensed from Regenerate and Cambridge University, which is expected to allow efficient recycling of LAB by the installation and commissioning of the plant within nine months from inception. Background to the Proposed Acquisition ARA was established to acquire and then act as the holding company for targeted businesses operating in the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain, particularly participants in the 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. The Proposed Acquisition is in line with the Company's acquisition strategy. Overview of the Proposed Acquisition Structure: ARA will acquire 100% of ZCT's issued share capital through an all-share transaction. Post-acquisition, ZCT shareholders will hold a majority stake in ARA as enlarged. ARA will require evidence that immediately prior to the Proposed Acquisition, ZCT is the sole vehicle in which its current shareholders and any joint venture partners own their share interests in its business. Admission: on completion of the Proposed Acquisition, ARA's resultant entire issued share capital will be admitted to the Equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange("LSE") ("Admission"). Target Financing: · It is proposed that ZCT will secure a minimum of £10 million of new capital at a minimum pre-money valuation of £30 Million ("Target Financing") contemporaneously with the Proposed Acquisition. · These funds would be utilised for capital expenditure and working capital, including commissioning ZCT's two proposed facilities. Costs: · All agreed transaction-related costs incurred by ZCT and ARA will be paid by ZCT, provided such costs have been pre-approved by ZCT. · The only exception is that the costs of any independent third-party reports procured during due diligence will be shared equally by ARA and ZCT. Capital Raise: · New capital of £1-2 million is proposed to be raised by the issue of ordinary shares in ARA contemporaneously with the Proposed Acquisition ("Capital Raise") to widen the shareholder base and to provide additional working capital. Valuation: ZCT's pre-money valuation is required to be a minimum of £30 Million. The pre-money value of ARA will be calculated as 10% of the pre-money value of the merged group, excluding the proceeds of the proposed Capital Raise and the Target Financing, such that ARA shareholders will hold 10.0% on an undiluted basis of the shares in ARA immediately after completion of the Proposed Acquisition, excluding those issued to investors under the proposed Target Financing and Capital Raise. Exclusivity: each of ARA and ZCT have agreed to engage exclusively with each other regarding the Proposed Acquisition and will use best efforts to mutually agree within 14 days of execution of the Heads of Terms the scope and duration of the transaction due diligence process, which is not intended to exceed 90 days from the signing of the Heads of Terms unless extended in writing by the Parties. The Heads of Terms will terminate in certain circumstances, including if the parties do not execute definitive agreements for the Proposed Acquisition within 6 months from the date they are entered into, unless extended in writing by the parties. Completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including: · Receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. · Satisfactory completion of legal, financial, and commercial due diligence by both parties. · Execution of a legally binding sale and purchase agreement. · Admission taking place. · Successful raising of equity funds as described above. · Approval of the transaction by the boards of directors and, as necessary, shareholders of both parties. · No material adverse change in the business, operations, or financial condition of either party. · The representations and warranties of both parties, as contained in the Heads of Terms and definitive transaction agreements, remaining true and correct in all material respects. · No inquiry or investigation by any regulatory body that could materially impact the merged group after completion of the Proposed Acquisition. · Both parties complying with all relevant regulatory requirements and being in good standing and not being in default under applicable securities laws, with no legal prohibition preventing the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. · Lock-up: Insiders of ARA and ZCT, including directors, officers, and key shareholders, entering into lock-up agreements, in a form agreed upon by both parties. These agreements will require the lock-up of shares for a period to be agreed following the re-admission to listing of ARA. · The Directors of ARA, acting reasonably, determining that ZCT has a pre-money valuation (before the signing of definitive agreements and any equity fundraising) of at least £30 Million. ARA anticipates publishing a prospectus approved by the FCA, detailing the Company, ZCT and the Proposed Acquisition at a date to be confirmed. Suspension of Listing Should the Proposed Acquisition complete, it would constitute an Initial Transaction under the UK Listing Rules, and accordingly ARA would apply for the admission of its shares to the Equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the LSE. Therefore, at the request of ARA, the FCA has suspended the Company's listing on the Equity shares (shell companies) category of the Official List, and trading on the Main Market of the LSE has also been suspended, as of 7.30am today, pending the publication of a prospectus providing further detail on ZCT and ARA as enlarged by the Proposed Acquisition, or an announcement that the Acquisition is not proceeding. Should the Proposed Acquisition not proceed, then ARA would need to apply for the suspension to be lifted and for trading to be restored. There can be no certainty that the Proposed Acquisition will take place, and it remains subject to, amongst other things, formal terms being agreed and the completion of legal and financial due diligence. A further announcement will be made in due course. John Croft, Chairman of ARA said: "We are delighted to be working with the team from ZCT with the aim of bringing this exciting business with a dynamic growth story to the public market. We have considered a number of potential acquisitions during ARA's life as a listed company and have been very cautious in our selection criteria, which has resulted in us taking longer than we originally anticipated in identifying a suitable target. ZCT has excellent synergy with our stated objective of identifying a transformational business that can create a meaningful contribution in the renewable energy space." Chris Farnworth, CEO of ZCT said: "We are excited to announce our proposed acquisition by Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc, which would mark a significant milestone in ZCT's journey to contribute to the global transition to a circular economy in battery recycling. This acquisition would enable us to accelerate the deployment of our state-of-the-art battery recycling technologies and expand into the rapidly growing electric vehicle (EV) battery sector. We believe we are well positioned to make a meaningful contribution to the sustainability of the energy transition while creating substantial value for our shareholders. We look forward to working closely with ARA as we proceed with the necessary steps to finalize the transaction, and to unlocking the full potential of our innovative solutions to recover critical materials from lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries." - Ends - Contact Information Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc John Croft, Chairman: +44 77 8531 5588" |

Posted at 06/9/2024 13:23 by hedgehog 100 06/09/2024 07:00 RNS Regulatory News Aura Renewable Acquisitions PLC Half-year Report LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc"Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 6 September 2024 - Aura Renewable Acquisitions plc, a UK-based company, whose objective is to invest in the global renewable energy sector supply chain and thereby build shareholder value, announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024. Highlights • Minimal overheads resulted in a loss before and after tax of £61,140, EPS 0.6p (loss) (2023: £69,598 and 0.7p (loss). • Cash resources of £590.000 at 30 June 2024 (2023: £661,000). • Targeting acquisitions operating in the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain. • Experienced board with extremely strong sector experience and a clear expansion strategy. • Good visibility towards potential targets through wide international network. • Flexible post transaction market strategy depending on size, structure, location and tax status. • Best practice ESG policies will be put in place to support and encourage sustainability across our business. John Croft, the Chairman of Aura commented: "Aura was established to identify and acquire businesses operating in the renewable energy sector supply chain, particularly participants in the wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, carbon capture, waste management, smart grids and green hydrogen supply chain, and their sub-sectors. "The Company raised £1,050,000 when it joined the Standard Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in April 2022, and since the IPO the business continues to incur minimal overheads pending identification of a suitable acquisition target. This is reflected in our net loss before taxation for the six-month period of £61,928 (2023: £69,598 (loss)), and that at 30 June 2024, we had retained cash and bank resources of £589,531. "The board continues to identify and assess acquisition and investment opportunities in the UK and overseas, which could offer the quality and scalability required to achieve significant shareholder growth. We also continue to engage with the board's extensive business network and introducer base to promote the Company expansion strategy. "Economic and political uncertainty has helpfully reduced during the year to date, as has inflation, and interest rates are beginning to edge down. While capital market and new issues activity has been generally depressed since November 2021, there have been signs of more corporate activity, particularly at the smaller end of the market during 2024, and M&A is more buoyant. The now widespread acceptance and understanding of the danger of global warming on populations, habitats and landscapes continues to underpin our business strategy and economic rationale. Fortunately, there is a growing willingness by national governments to focus on sustainable renewable energy. "With the stated intention to make Britain a clean energy superpower, the new Labour Government in the UK has committed to work with the private sector to double onshore wind, triple solar power and quadruple offshore wind by 2030. This commitment is made with the intention of making the UK more energy secure, protect consumers from price fluctuations in fossil fuels, and help drive investment in jobs and businesses in the renewable energy sector, while seeking to achieve medium- and longer-term carbon reduction targets. "Support for renewable energy remains positive across the UK economy. Investment in the major, continued restructuring of Britain's electricity grid to facilitate the transition to renewable energy remains on track. Our conversations underline sustained support by the institutional investment community for the energy transition and this is consistent with media reporting. Installation of both solar PV and heat pumps in UK homes are at record highs. The UK remains a vibrant market for innovation in low-carbon technologies. While there is some public and media pushback on the Net Zero agenda, not least due to higher energy prices, we believe this is taking place in the normal political discourse, while the underlying drivers for change are as strong as ever. "We have been cautious in our targeted and considered approach to our first acquisition, particularly during a time when the ability to raise finance on capital markets has been severely restricted by investor caution and economic uncertainty. We have sought to identify a transformational target that can create a meaningful contribution in the renewable energy space, and this remains our intention. The renewable energy sector will offer exciting opportunities for acquisitive and organic growth as capital markets recover, and we are committed to ensure that the Company and its stakeholders will share in these opportunities."
