New World Resources (NWC AU): Kinterra Capital Emerges With A 12% Stake
In New World Resources (NWC AU)'s Possible Interloper. I noted NWC's shares trading through Central Asia Metals (CAML LN)'s A$0.05/share terms. An opportunistic investor (s) or a third party bidder?
Toronto-Based PE outfit Kinterra Capital has now declared a 11.99% stake, paying upward of A$0.051/share.
New World Resources (NWC AU)is currently in a trading halt due to "a potential material variation, including a proposed increase in Scheme Consideration, to a change of control transaction".
NWC is illiquid. Look away now of this is not your bag
The Trade:
Trading through CAML's terms at A$0.052/share.
Shares are suspended, so there's nothing to be done.
By all accounts, Kinterra will make an Offer, by way of a Scheme.
CAML's Offer was already a 78.6% premium to undisturbed.
CAML is afforded matching rights under the SID.
With Kinterra'a 12% stake, CAML's Scheme getting up appears challenging if simply matching terms.
