What's more galling is the individuals who made this decision are paid incredibly well.

Now while it's unrealistic to get every strategic decision right, this really was a hideous misstep, particularly when RTO had a long term proven strategy of smaller infill acquisitions. They did not need to take on this risk.

And some great news today from CODX:-

06/02/2025 07:00 RNS Regulatory News Codex Acquisitions PLC Entry into Acquisition Agreement and Update LSE:CODX Codex Acquisitions Plc

"Codex Acquisitions plc (LSE: CODX) ("Company" or "Codex") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an English law governed acquisition agreement (cast as a deed) with certain vendors, dated 5 February 2024, to acquire the entire share capital of Technologies New Energy S.A. ("TNE"), a sociedade anĂ³nima incorporated in Portugal operating in the renewable energy sector, for £28,000,000 to be settled by way of the issue and allotment of new ordinary shares of nominal value £0.10 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a reference price of £0.20 per share ("Acquisition"), conditional on admission of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company to listing on the equity shares (transition) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") ("ES(T)C Listing") and to trading on the main market for listed securities ("Main Market") of London Stock Exchange plc ("London Stock Exchange") ("Admission").

The Acquisition Agreement contains an Admission long stop date of 28 February 2025 (which may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties). ..."




So a 20p/share RTO valuation for current CODX shares.

Compared to a current CODX 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%.


That completes a two-month 'hat-trick' of such overnight hundreds of per cent 'paper' gains for myself, following on from ARA & ROC.

And this is out of just a few shells that I currently have shareholdings in.

It's just a question of having very strict selection criteria, looking at many shells but discounting the vast majority of them, and having good patience for both buying and holding.

Some great news yesterday from ROC:-

18/12/2024 09:26 RNS Regulatory News Rockpool Acquisitions PLC Potential reverse takeover European Lingerie Group LSE:ROC Rockpool Acquisitions Plc

"Heads of Agreement signed with European Lingerie Group, AB ("ELG AB" or "the Target")

Potential Reverse Takeover and Temporary Suspension of Listing

... The consideration for the Acquisition, if it is concluded, ("the Price") will be settled by the issue of new ordinary shares of Rockpool, valuing each ordinary share at 10p per share (compared with a mid-market price of 2.85p at close on Tuesday 17th December 2024). The Price will be agreed by Rockpool and the sellers in light of the valuation at which the Company's brokers anticipate being able to procure investors to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Placing as well as the price at which the Target raises funds in the Pre-RTO Fundraising. ..."



So a 10p/share RTO valuation for current ROC shares.

Compared to a current ROC share price (suspended) of 2.85p, market cap. £362,663 (12,725,003 shares in issue).

But an increase 'on paper' of over 4.4 times my 2.25p tip price here ... barely a week ago.

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. ...

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%!

Yeah a decent appointment and a good foundation to build from now. I do think the profit warning was well overdone so hopefully see the share price trickle back to 400-450p level. RTO still make a lot of money after all.

14/02/2024 10:29 RNS Regulatory News Beacon Rise Holdings PLC Issue of Equity LSE:BRS Beacon Rise Holdings Plc

An interesting recent fundraise by BRS.

Only c. £70K. raised, but the placing price of £1.20 is a hefty premium: 50% above the current BRS share price of 80p, and 60% more than the share price on 14th. February (75p).

Moreover, BRS's loss in its 6 months to 30.9.23 was only £19,714, at which point it still had cash of £328,900, and £358,991 net & net current assets.

The market cap. at 80p is £944,266, but these types of shells can arrange RTOs at multiples of their cash.

It looks to me like this placing could well be a prelude to an imminent proposed RTO, at a BRS share price of at least £1.20/share, but potentially a lot higher than that.
