….The potential of a good RTO….. that’s the nail on the head Hedgehog without quality the Aura share price will go nowhere !

And as regards the potential impact of a good RTO deal.

On 14.11.23, ZEG closed up a whomping 364%, rising 110.6p to 141p, after returning from a near two month suspension.

ZEG's market cap. at its suspension price of 30.4p was £1.89M., which like ARA was less than its cash per share.


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 " ).

The Placing will comprise the issue of New Zegona Shares to institutional investors at the Offer Price of 150 pence per share by way of a non-pre-emptive placing. It will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding process which will be launched immediately following this announcement. ...

The Offer Price represents a 380 per cent. premium to the closing mid-market price of a Zegona Share on 22 September 2023, the date when Zegona requested that trading in its shares was suspended by the London Stock Exchange following press speculation in relation to the Acquisition. ..."




Zegona Communications (ZEG):-




From the 19.4.23 video interview with ARA's Chairman John Croft:-

"... we're very hopeful, put it like that, that we can do a transaction in this year. The sectors that we're particularly interested in are in energy storage generally, but particularly in battery technologies.

... there's a huge opportunity there ... I'm very hopeful we'll do something this year.

... with the minimum capitalisation having been moved up to thirty million pounds, it means actually that that valuation of the SPAC in the context of an overall transaction is relatively small. So we're starting to see valuations for SPACS in transactions heading up, and recently there have been some in London where the SPAC has been valued at multiple times of its cash balance, and multiple times the value of its original market cap. at the time it came to the market. So we see that as being very encouraging, and a positive sign for our shareholders going forward. ..."

More ARA buying today, lifting the share price back up to 5.75p.

For shells, which tend to be very lightly traded, such relatively persistent and steady buying as ARA has seen recently tends to be a very positive sign.

And today's brief intraday ARA share price dip was again very well-bought: lasting for under an hour and a half before a buyer again pounced on the bargain, triggering a full rebound.

It's a typical pattern with shells that some people get tired of waiting for a deal, and throw in the towel close to the bottom, shortly before a RTO is unveiled.

Experienced investors can work this pattern to their advantage though, to pick up bargains shortly before news.

Today's brief intraday ARA share price dip was very well-bought: lasting for just half an hour before a buyer pounced on the bargain, triggering a full rebound.

And time must surely now be running out to buy in ahead of RTO news here.

Remember that to complete a RTO transaction this year, you would really need to sign heads of terms in H1, to allow time for more detailed preparations, including prospectus preparation and FCA approval of.

So a deal could potentially be imminent.


And for ARA, these are the interview multiples concerned:-

2 - 3 times current cash = c. 15p - 22.5p / share
2 - 3 times IPO price = 20 - 30p / share

Compared to the current ARA share price of just 6p per share.

This extract from the new ARA interview looks uber bullish:-

2 - 3 times IPO price = 20 - 30p / share

Compared to the current ARA share price of just 5p per share.


The shell TMOR is a good comparator here, and earlier this month it announced a positive update on its intended RTO progress:-

The shell Dial Square Investments (DSI) has very recently announced RTO news that is very relevant and encouraging for ARA.

A proposed RTO at a price of 6p per share, for a 'green energy' company (as defined by the EU: ).

Which is an 84.6% premium to DSI's current (suspended) share price of 3.25p (market cap. £862,875).

And that DSI market cap. is significantly more than ARA's (£603,750 at 0.575p), despite DSI having significantly less cash that ARA.

It's also interesting that DSI only floated four months ago (30.11.22), compared to nearly a year ago for ARA.


10/03/2023 07:56 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Dial Square Investments PLC Proposed Acquisition and Suspension of Trading LSE:DSI Dial Square Investments Plc

"Proposed Acquisition of UK energy transition company, Proposed Cancellation of Listing and Suspension of Trading

Dial Square, a London Stock Exchange traded special purpose acquisition vehicle, is pleased to announce that it has entered into Heads of Terms ("Term Sheet") to acquire 100% of the issued and to be issued share capital by way of a reverse takeover ("the Transaction") of EnergyPathways Ltd ("EnergyPathways"), an English private company. EnergyPathways is an energy transition company, targeting UK gas assets, with the aim of bringing into production, in the near-term, low emission energy solutions to assist with the UK's transition to Net Zero while also providing critical supply to ensure domestic energy security. ...

Pursuant to the Transaction, it is proposed that the issued and to be issued shares of EnergyPathways be acquired for an aggregate consideration of GBP4,080,833 to be satisfied by the issue of 68,013,885 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to the vendors of EnergyPathways at an issue price of 6 pence per ordinary share of the Company.

The Transaction remains subject to various conditions, including full due diligence to the Company's satisfaction and Re-admission (defined below). As the market capitalisation of the enlarged group following completion of the Transaction is expected to be less than GBP30 million (being the minimum market capitalisation for new applications for admission to Standard Segment and to trading on the Main Market), the Company will not be seeking readmission of its shares to the Standard Segment and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. Instead, the Company intends to make an application for its ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("Re-admission") and will, in due course, publish an admission document. ...

As stated above, upon completion of the Transaction, the Company would be seeking Re-admission on AIM and would have sought cancellation of its existing listing in any event. The Company expects the cancellation of its listing to be effective from 6 April 2023 and will update Shareholders in due course once the timetable for cancellation is confirmed. ..."




23/03/2023 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Dial Square Investments PLC Update: Cancellation of Listing LSE:DSI Dial Square Investments Plc

"Update: Cancellation of Listing

... As agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority, the listing of the Company's ordinary shares will remain suspended pending either: (a) cancellation of the listing prior to completion of the Transaction; or (b) if the Transaction does not proceed, re-admission of the Company's ordinary shares to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, or cancellation of the listing, depending on whether the Company meets the eligibility requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority at that time. Accordingly, the cancellation of the listing of the Company's shares will not occur on 6 April 2023 as initially expected and previously announced. The Company will update Shareholders in due course. ..."

A good positive update today from ARA, which has currently lifted the share price back up to 6p (5.5p - 6.5p), on volume of 80,000 shares traded, all of which are buys.

And well done to the company on such refreshingly good cash conservation.

From ARA's 5th. April 2022 prospectus:-
"The Company recorded an audited total comprehensive loss of £23,734 for the financial period ended on 30 November 2021 and as at 30 November 2021 had net assets of £26,266."
"Estimated Net Proceeds of the Placing and Subscription £828,000"
"On Admission, the Company will have an additional cash amount of £50,000 available for use in making an Acquisition, being the proceeds from the issues of shares in November 2021."

From today's ARA RNS:-
"As of 31 December 2022, the Company had an unaudited cash balance of GBP809,000, reflective of the minimal overhead base following the listing."

= Cash burn of c. £45K., 1.12.21 - 31.12.22, excluding the one-off IPO costs taken off the gross IPO placing proceeds.

From ARA's prospectus dated 5 April 2022, re all four directors:-

" ... not entitled to a fee until the first Acquisition has been completed, at which time his subsequent entitlement to a fee will be considered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. ..."




16/01/2023 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Aura Renewable Acquisitions PLC Post Year End Operational Update LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc

"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 provide an update on progress for the period from the date of incorporation on 4 November 2021 through to 31 December 2022.

Aura was formed as a special-purpose acquisition company focusing on the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain, particularly on businesses in the wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, carbon capture, waste management, energy storage, smart grid and green hydrogen supply chain.

The Company raised gross proceeds of GBP1 million on admission to the Standard Segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange in April 2022. As of 31 December 2022, the Company had an unaudited cash balance of GBP809,000, reflective of the minimal overhead base following the listing.

The Company has actively and selectively reviewed potential international acquisition targets since listing and at the same time the Board has taken soundings from the investor community to seek to best fit investment appetite with the opportunities available.

Amongst others, and by way of example, companies in the energy storage sector, developing next-generation battery technologies, have drawn the Company's attention. Batteries play an essential role in the energy sector supply chain, facilitating the transition to a net zero economy and a more sustainable environment.

Many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have realised the importance of secure domestic supply chains and have introduced legislation, government grants and other incentives to support their battery industries - an example being the Inflation Reduction Act under the President Biden Administration.

Our investment horizon is relatively wide within our chosen sector, and we will continue to assess and qualify what we believe to be value accretive opportunities in the UK and overseas. When our ongoing evaluation and investigation result in the potential for a transaction, the Company will give the market appropriate notice.

The Company expects to announce its results for the period ended 31 December 2022 in early April 2023.

John Croft, the Chairman of Aura commented:

"As we move further into our first full year of operation, Aura continues to explore a range of target acquisitions and investments which the Board considers could offer the potential for significant growth in this exciting, fast-moving and crucially important market sector.

"We expect supply chain, inflation and interest rate issues to be less of a dampening factor on corporate activity in 2023, and believe that capital market activity and fundraisings will slowly recover as the year progresses. Hostilities in Europe and further afield, the lingering impact of Covid, especially in China, are still causes for concern, as is the irrefutable and increasingly evident daily impact of climate change.

"As I have mentioned before, we are more confident than ever that the renewable energy sector will offer excellent opportunities for acquisitive and organic growth for the foreseeable future. We are striving to give the Company and its stakeholders the chance to share in these opportunities, not least to help in some small way to protect our planet for future generations."

It was overdue, and the share price looks well placed for further recovery.

Thought there were just three ARA trades today (all buys - the second trade caused the share price rise), this was enough to trigger two price monitoring extensions, which shows how little stock must be available:-
