6:1 ratio has many people confused because they are not taking into account the number of shares outstanding on each company. Here are the rough numbers on percent ownership post-merger for current shareholders of each company:
>> GXR has 60,000,000 shares out (less 2,000,000 owned by CYM to be cancelled) ==> GXR shareholders get 58,000,000 CT shares
>> CYM has 14,666,667 shares out (less 3,000,000 owned by GXR to be cancelled) ==> CYM shareholders get 70,000,000 CT shares
GXR shareholders get 45.3% of the new company and CYM shareholders get 54.6% (almost even). This is almost exactly the current relative ownership in the Yemen project alone. Since results from Yemen currently make it the most prospective of all the projects involved this seems very fair. Looking ahead, future developments in Nevada and/or Greenland are pure speculation at this point, HOWEVER with gold currently at ~$300/oz, a swap of a highly prospective diamond project for a Nevada (low grade gold) project seems to be extremely positive, for GXR shareholders. Even good "unrelesed" Nevada results would not make the Nevada project valuable at this time given the current POG.
More later with a word directly from the AGM. |
