scrwal - re "This is a conditional statement which implies that if the Tender Price were to be lower than £9.35 then the Tender Offer fails"

Yeah, I can see that's how a short-seller might want to interpet it.

Fordtin "e) the Tender Price per Share not being less than £9.35;"

This is a conditional statement which implies that if the Tender Price were to be lower than £9.35 then the Tender Offer fails since " 2.2 The Tender Offer is conditional upon the following (together, the “Tender Conditions”):"

Buybacks below the NAV per share will increase the NAV further.

Dividends on the shares bought back will not have to be paid leaving more money for further buybacks.

Tag57 - I guess we agree to disagree.
As mentioned earlier, if everyone agreed on everything there wouldn't be a market.

Fordtin, no I am just suggesting that cash included in NAV should surely be on a 1:1 basis therefore any change in the cash balance of the business (via payment of divis etc)should have a 1:1 effect on NAV. If this is the case then the discount applicable to the rest of the company assets is probably higher than just comparing NAV to market cap.
Just my opinion

I bought a few extra shares in the 920's this morning with the sole intent of offering them for tender.

"the Tender Price per Share not being less than £9.35".
A one month hold for a >1% return and further upside potential, with zero downside. Seems like a pretty good deal in the current market.

Note, btw, how every one of those reasons for current low valuation may legitimately be seen a temporary.

Whatever your views on him, Trump back in the White House should also work in shareholders' favour. November not so far away in the scheme of things.

I think the confusion here is that you clearly can't view the current situation with any of the 'normal' assumptions. When so many variables are out of kilter (the most obvious one being the current low valuation brought about by a combination of high interest rates, lower energy prices, ESG political correctness & income fund outflows) then analysis that attempts to follow usual conventions is made much more difficult.

Tag57 - not sure I follow. Are you suggesting cash is the only asset worthy of consideration?

Fordtin, as the divi is cash leaving the business I would have thought the market cap should drop by the same amount, everything being equal.
This is assuming that as part of the NAV the cash position of the business is included in NAV on a 1:1 basis with the EV of the business just being more heavily discounted than when comparing NaV to share price The opposite would be true if in a negative cash position.
BWDIK.

nigelpm re; “All being equal it will fall by exactly the dividend amount. That's the point.”

The point is actually not that at all.
As the company is trading at such a massive discount to NAV, If the share price fell by exactly the amount of capital returned to shareholders, returning 30% of the NAV to shareholders would reduce the share price to zero but the company would still retain 70% of it’s NAV!

"All things being equal", share price should fall proportionally to the fall in NAV.
As all things are invariably not equal, some people are willing to sell their shares xd at a price which is roughly equal to the pre xd price less the dividend.
I guess the point should be; irrational behaviour is what makes a market.

A couple of points which are probably worth highlighting;

"(e) the Tender Price per Share not being less than £9.35;

(f) the total number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Price being not more than 3,881,238 Shares"

Thanks for the explanation. I agree the share price will fall by less than the divi everything else being equal.

Warren Buffett on buybacks recently:

Buffett, who determines the level of buybacks at Berkshire, has repeatedly said he is price conscious, noting in his annual letter: “All stock repurchases should be price-dependent. What is sensible at a discount to business-value becomes stupid if done at a premium.”

We are certainly trading at a heavy discount here.

Fordtin, if you take assets out of the Company eg as dividends or to pay for share buy backs the NAV goes down. It is wrong to just keep the NAV constant in these circumstances. But the general principle is correct taking shares off the table at a discount will certainly increase the discount, as long as the share price doesn't begin to rise because there is a shortage of stock on offer.

#Grahamg8, we recently doubled the size of the plugging capability with the Tanos deal so it is an expanding part of the business, and will continue as demand for the service picks up, we win 3rd party plugging contracts and now do Gov owned orphan/abandoned well contracts they want plugged too..

The period of maximum productivity may be in the first ten years, but we buy up old wells past their best and can keep them ticking over for decades..

We are part of the solution not the problem - right place, right time sweeping up the mess (for a price).. ;o)

Until now I've rather dismissed the LVL Energy business as being a bit of a side line. Nice to have, reduces retirement costs by keeping the work in house, and a bit of pocket money on the side from services to third parties.

I think my interpretation is right that FY2023 568 wells were processed, 384 in house and 184 external. But if DEC have 60,000 wells and their life is 10 years then the retirement capability needs to ramp up accordingly. In the presentation to WV Energy Committee it was stated that there were 6000 orphan wells in the State. And now the Client Earth article is suggesting there are 2.1m abandoned and unplugged wells in the USA.

Sounds like "Right Company, Right Time" has it just about ........Right.

FT story about abandoned wells in the US. DEC gets a mention.
