Posted at 16/4/2024 08:55 by stevea171 12/4. From the Accountant on LSE. He has been saying for about 6 months now that he expects a delisting of EQT is coming:"I remain convinced this will delist in due course and end up in Altair/DP hands. ETX a biotech I follow announced yesterday a raise with its major shareholder along with a delist from AIM at the same time; citing dire UK small cap markets and no risk appetite. Read across here in my view. DP will blame the markets and get this for next to nothing along with interested parties. |
Posted at 04/4/2024 13:52 by marktime1231 Answering my own question this is an extract from the Dec 2020 notice about Eqtec acquiring the Deeside development SPV from Logik ...• Initial consideration of £2,310,000 of which a deposit amount of £300,000, from which the existing exclusivity payment of £100,000 will be deducted, is payable on signing of the SPA and the balance of £2,010,000 payable on or before a date 12 months from the date of signing of the SPA (and which sum shall be netted off the existing debts of the Project SPV). So EQT are recouping about 45% of its "investment" if it receives £2M from Logik when they sell the freehold. And lets not assume that the transaction will be settled smoothly given the history of fraught relations with Logik. As has been observed the good news is not for shareholders, this prospect just continues to line the pockets of the executive who have destroyed value. |
Posted at 14/3/2024 10:58 by stevea171 Still no details of Italia MDC post this Bank advance.No operational stats in a year since start up which is disgraceful and indicative that their much trumpeted tech is not performing. No financial details of operations of this plant in 14 months since commissioning began January 23. No financial details of how the bank loan has been applied incl what part of the refi, if any, has been paid to EQT. Silence, silence, just silence because their showcase project has been a massive flop! So what about the rest of them? North Fork. How can this be any different and what liabilities will Eqtec face if this is another start/stop operation and loss making plant? Larissa, Greece. Stand off with the commissioning of this plant then the floods. Will this be a write off? Will they have any credibility left for any projects at all? |
Posted at 18/1/2024 18:10 by stevea171 The tech here was the reason most of us invested but has let us all down.It's now a year since the Italia MDC was undergoing start up but in the latest missive we are told "additional performance improvements" are still required. It is likely that most of the EU2.9 million Rome bank loan is to cover capex modifications to the plant and operational losses during the past year. The bank has been told performance has improved, the MDC is now profitable and can repay the loan with interest so the funds are being released but MDC profit calculations (never disclosed) are burdened by this extra finance burden. And that: "additional performance improvements" are still required at what further cost?. It is possible that this project will NEVER BE VIABLE. What are the implications of all this on the Greek plant at Larissa where EQT has been refusing to support commissioning because it claims funds owing to it have not been paid? EQT does not want to talk about this which is Plant no 2. Then there is Plant no 3. North Fork due to be commissioned soon. Will it also take a year to operate at a profit? And at what extra cost for modifications and running losses? Plant 4. Croatia MDC it seems has not got out of the blocks due to incomplete funding. Will the modified build ever happen and to what standard and at what extra cost following this Italia MDC disaster? These are all issues that EQT should be disclosing to shareholders but does not want to talk about. Instead we get yet another pie in the sky project "an integrated, waste-to-liquid fuel solution" that probably will never work and never happen. |
Posted at 21/12/2023 20:53 by cleverinvestor vatnabreekSorted now! To answer your question RNS -24th Nov 2023 mentioned 3 inter-conditional steps "The Capital Reorganisation will involve the following three inter-conditional steps: (1) the subdivision of existing Ordinary Shares; (2) the consolidation of the resulting Ordinary Shares; and (3) the redesignation of certain of the remaining Ordinary Shares. (1) Ordinary Share Subdivision The current nominal value of each of the existing Ordinary Shares is EUR0.001. Pursuant to the proposed subdivision, each existing Ordinary Share would be subdivided into 10 Ordinary Shares of EUR0.0001, from the time at which the Resolution in respect of the subdivision becomes effective (which will be immediately prior to the Ordinary Share Consolidation and Redesignation). (2) Ordinary Share Consolidation Immediately after the subdivision of the Ordinary Shares every 1,000 (one thousand) subdivided Ordinary Shares of EUR0.0001 each will be consolidated into 10 (ten) Ordinary Shares of EUR0.01 each (3) Redesignation Immediately after the Ordinary Share Consolidation 9 (nine) out of every 10 Ordinary Shares of EUR0.01 each will be redesignated into 9 (nine) deferred C ordinary shares of EUR0.01 each ("2023 Deferred Shares"). Shareholders should note that, except for the increase in nominal value of each Ordinary Share, the voting and dividend rights attaching to the New Ordinary Shares arising on the Capital Reorganisation will be identical in all respects to those attaching to the existing Ordinary Shares at the date of this document. The 2023 Deferred Shares will have no economic value and will carry the rights as set out in the Amended Articles and as summarised below. If the Capital Reorganisation is approved, the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on 19 December 2023. |

Steps 1 & 2 seem simple enough, so for 1000 shares now :- 1000 ----> 10,000 ----> 100 I'm not sure I totally understand step 3! |
Posted at 12/12/2023 09:47 by stevea171 Refi. The Italia MDC saga looks like its going to the wire.EQT deadlines are never met. Italia MDC deadlines are never met eg 4/9. "a series of performance improvements anticipated to be completed in early Q4 2023" 6/11. "is implementing a series of performance improvements which are anticipated to be completed in Q4 2023" So on past form the most likely next announcement will be to continue to push out the date into next year and beyond the end of this financial year. Note in the September announcement "supporting Italia MDC in its endeavours to drive more productive and continual operations." This is a clear reference to the stop/start nature of the plant's operations that has been reported independently by a poster on LSE with a contact working there. This reduces productivity and likely leads to loss making operations which necessitates this Bank loan of EU2.9 million to cover losses incurred to date and tech remediation. EQT won't say what are the implications for North Fork or Larissa or any other plant of current design. EQT is on the edge of both the finances and tech letting it down with company closure not too far away if the tech at Italia MDC is not remedied. 4/9/23. Provision of funds through the Facility is subject to the Plant's achievement of certain performance criteria set by the Lender. Supported by EQTEC engineers, EQTEC Italia MDC S.r.l. ("Italia MDC"), the operating company for the Plant, is implementing a series of performance improvements anticipated to be completed in early Q4 2023, at which point, assuming the required performance criteria have been achieved, Italia MDC will draw down the amount of the full Facility. The Plant became operational in March 2023 and EQTEC completed handover protocols and transfer of plant operations to Italia MDC in June 2023. The Company remains actively involved with supporting Italia MDC in its endeavours to drive more productive and continual operations. |
Posted at 21/9/2023 18:37 by stevea171 This court action by EQT will be defended and could take 6-12 months to be heard?A statement from Logik Developments said: “At present, no such claim has been served on either Logik Developments Limited or Logik WTE Limited and we cannot, therefore, comment on the precise nature of EQTEC’s claim. “It is correct that we have been in discussions with EQTEC in recent months about their alleged claims and such discussions have been conducted through legal channels via our respective solicitors. “We note from EQTEC’s announcement that the total amount claimed is circa £4m. This is surprising to us given that all pre-action correspondence to date has been limited in value to claims amounting to circa £2.9m. It therefore appears that EQTEC have acted prematurely in issuing Court proceedings against Logik in circumstances where they have not provided any details about the balance of their alleged claim (totaling £1.1m) as they are specifically required to do as part of any legal process before Court proceedings are issued.” The statement added: “We refute EQTEC’s allegations entirely and in the event that any claim is served on Logik, this will be defended to the fullest extent. “We also note that EQTEC claim that they have made numerous attempts to engage with us towards a resolution of these matters more recently through legal counsel. EQTEC also claim that we have rejected invitations to work through the issues constructively or failed to follow through on an agreement to meet with them. “This is, quite simply, incorrect and as part of the recent correspondence passing between our respective solicitors, it was actually us who offered to meet with EQTEC’s representatives to try and engage in commercial discussions with them in an attempt to resolve matters; however no response at all has been received from EQTEC or their solicitors to this offer of a meeting and that was where matters stood prior to EQTEC’s recent announcement that it has issued a claim against Logik. “In the event that EQTEC consider that they have a claim against Logik for any alleged breach of the SPA or the Deeside Project, then that is a matter for them and this will present them with a damages claim; however, as explained, we refute EQTEC’s allegations entirely and consider that there is no legal basis to their claims. We will have no hesitation in defending our position through the Courts if that is what is ultimately required.” |
Posted at 04/9/2023 15:30 by stevea171 Today's RNS headlines:EQTEC PLC Bank Refinance of Italy Market Development Centre MetalNRG PLC Bank Refinance of Italy waste to energy plant Are these not 2 cases of misleading/lying headlines? We understood there was to be a refi allowing the original investors incl EQT (20%) to take some or all of their capital out and easing their cash flow problems. But we find out in the text that none of this is happening. Instead the Italia MDC has been offered a loan of EU2.9 million under certain conditions which may or may not be fulfilled in Q4 with Eqtec, the company, getting nothing. How much debt has the MDC racked up already (financed by EQT?) to be included in H1 results and FY results? It is expected that the loan requirement in Q4 will be EU2.9 million as this full amount is to be drawn down immediately and an EQT bridging loan? repaid. These will be the estimated losses and capex of the Italia MDC to the date of the loan draw down. Is EQT expecting another cash raise to cover this loan to the MDC in the next 3 months and not telling us as usual with all the other cash raises/loans in the past 18 months or so? This is yet another MAJOR screw up that has been hidden up to now with only a glimpse of disclosure in this RNS. |
Posted at 04/9/2023 12:11 by marktime1231 Despite the catty squabbling here, which I think is because Steve has about-faced from being stubbornly argumentatively defensively cloth-eared positive to negative, this rns does reveal that Italy MDC is not operating as intended. To be fair to Steve being positive became unsustainable and you are allowed to change your mind on the evidence, but as someone who was once on the receiving end of his snap I can understand it might grate on those who were suspicious all along. And on those who now are desperate for a revival, to be so negative all the time apparently long after divesting. At least we are getting a critical analysis of the bilge coming out of EQT pr team and what it really means. But, on balance, if that France funding is realised then EQTs future is brighter but then it could hardly have got any worse. Anyway ..."EQTEC Italia MDC S.r.l. ("Italia MDC"), the operating company for the Plant, is implementing a series of performance improvements anticipated to be completed in early Q4 2023, at which point, assuming the required performance criteria have been achieved, Italia MDC will draw down the amount of the full Facility. The Plant became operational in March 2023 and EQTEC completed handover protocols and transfer of plant operations to Italia MDC in June 2023. The Company remains actively involved with supporting Italia MDC in its endeavours to drive more productive and continual operations." The key word here is "continual". It doesn't work as a steady continuous automated process, there are interuptions or interventions necessary which means staff time which means unbudgeted costs. So Italy MDC might operate technically fine only in discrete batches, not according to the business plan, and will indeed be loss-making. It has been my guess all along that this involves the feedstock end of the process, or it could be residue glazing and contamination in the fluidised bed, something which has baffled every other group trying to integrate waste gasification plant, and something which has taken four or more years to try and resolve rather than the 1 year envisioned here. It would have been helpful to have provided some operating detail ... waste processed, net energy exported etc ... versus target. And financials, so revenues and costs against tonnes and kWh, in the kind of way material processors and energy companies give updates. I guess they are still working on how to report, not having had anything to say until now. No mention of the opportunity to sell off the black soot residue. I do not understand the financial consequence of this announcement on EQT itself. Someone in the meantime needs to be providing Italy MDC with operating cash flow, is that what EQT mean when they say they are providing support. And in the meantime presumably EQT is not receiving proceeds from a financial close or net income, clobbering the outlook. Given the parlous state of EQT and the rate at which it spends cash do we have another going concern and funding problem, or is that saved by the promise of funds from France? |
