GB,

I have no idea, but it's not uncommon for proposed RTO deals to leak in advance, as there can be so many people involved, across multiple jurisdictions.

And it's interesting that there's been no RNS from the company about today's rise, considering that it is today's biggest riser by far, to its highest level for years.

Remember that ARA's December proposed RTO was with a £3M. valuation for current ARA shares, which with 10,500,000 shares currently in issue, equates to a valuation of 28.57p per ARA share.

And it now sounds like the board is looking at AI (artificial intelligence) etc. in particular.

I wouldn't be surprised to have an RNS soon from the company confirming this: perhaps tomorrow, or else later in the week.

Some great news today from TNE (Technologies New Energy), formerly CODX (Codex Acquisitions), a similar shell to ARA:-

25/04/2025 11:01 RNS Regulatory News Technologies New Energy PLC Approval and Publication of Prospectus LSE:TNE Technologies New Energy Plc

"The Company is pleased to announce that the Prospectus has today been approved by the FCA and published by the Company.

It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that unconditional dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 30 April 2025.

Conditional on Admission, the Enlarged Issued Share Capital shall comprise 158,839,050 Ordinary Shares (in aggregate), 11.6% of which shall be in "public hands".

The estimated market capitalisation of the Company on Admission is £31,767,810 based on the Subscription Price / Reference Price of £0.20.

The Company's LEI is 213800VBVRGDTYL9Y928, and the Ordinary Shares have the ISIN GB00BNVRHQ51, SEDOL code BNVRHQ5 and TIDM "TNE".

About TNE:

TNE is positioned as a global supplier of state-of-the-art solutions and projects to enable a faster energy transition, decarbonisation goals and digital transformation at scale. Its business is formed of three units, which broadly undertake the following activities:

• Consulting for third-party clients on the design and regulatory pathway for renewable energy projects;

• Contracting for third-party clients on the construction and installation of renewable energy projects; and

• Portfolio Management of a proprietary portfolio of Projects based on a TNE-specific hybrid biorefinery technology concept from inception to the RTB stage.

José Meneses, Founder of TNE, said: "Now is the right time for TNE to embark on the next stage of its growth journey by listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. This is a logical next step for TNE to support our ambitious growth trajectory and enhance our global visibility."

So TNE returning from suspension on Wednesday 30.4.25 with a 20p/share RTO valuation for current TNE shares.

Compared to a current TNE share price (suspended) of 5.5p, market cap. £467,500 (8,500,00 shares in issue).

I.e. an increase 'on paper' of over 3.6 times: over 260%.

16/04/2025 07:30 RNS Regulatory News Official List Restoration - Aura Renewable Acquisitions plc LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc

"NOTICE OF RESTORATION OF LISTING FROM THE OFFICIAL LIST

16/04/2025 07:30

RESTORATION

Aura Renewable Acquisitions plc

The Financial Conduct Authority ("the FCA") restores the securities set out below to the Official List effective from 16/04/2025 07:30: ..."




ARA has now been desuspended for trading for two hours today, but there have been no trades so far, or share price change (from the 4.25p desuspension price).

To me, ARA now looks an even more attractive investment than before the suspension: because little was spent on due diligence for the aborted deal, and the RTO price of 28.57p per ARA share for the proposed deal has set down a marker of what ARA is targeting here.

Hopefully they will replace the aborted RTO with something even better relatively soon, and the potential upside here certainly makes it well worth waiting for.

ARA's final results today showed cash of £486,000 as at 31.12.24, compared to a current market cap. of just £446,250 at 4.25p.
Posted at 01/4/2025 17:39 by hedgehog 100
From the Aura Renewable Acquisitions plc prospectus, dated 5 April 2022:-

"(iii) The Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £1,000,000 ... Under the terms of the Placing, Placees are entitled to receive one Freely Transferable Warrant for each New Ordinary Share subscribed for at no additional cost. ..."

"*Number of Ordinary Shares subject to Warrants 12,780,000"






Solarno,

To a large extent, the ARA warrant holders and the ARA shareholders are the same thing.

Because the "Freely Transferable Warrants" account for the vast majority of the warrants, and these were given to investors who funded ARA's IPO placing.

Not that many shares have changed hands since the IPO three years ago.

And for the large majority of that three years since listing, the share price has been well below 10p, so costing new buyers at lot less than in the placing.

The original warrant exercise price was a 50% premium to the floatation price of 10p: but markets have changed a lot since then, and now even 10p is a more than 50% premium to ARA's closing high since 2022.

So the change seems fair to me, and in the interests of non warrant holders too, to incentivise warrant holders to exercise, bringing in cash to the company.


As regards the RTO fundraising:-

09/12/2024 08:00 RNS Regulatory News Aura Renewable Acquisitions PLC Proposed Initial Transaction LSE:ARA Aura Renewable Acquisitions Plc

"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."

"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."




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.

So even the 15p warrant exercise price was well below that.

Warrant holders will really want a big margin between their exercise price and the market share price: so the exercise price change doesn't mean that the proposed ZCT fundraising price is being reduced.
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.

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."

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.

From the recent 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. ..."




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:-

For ARA, these are the 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 5p per share.
