AFC Energy plc (AFC)     

HARRYCAT - 13 Jan 2016 11:37 - 1163 of 1468

Bearing in mind that there is going to be massive dilution, not sure why this is up. Perhaps it's just positive sentiment......Good volume this morning.

greekman - 13 Jan 2016 15:54 - 1164 of 1468

Hi Harrycat,

The thing is that there won't be a massive dilution.

They have subscribed to 12,368,449 shares with a further 5,631,551 shares making a total of 18,000,000 new shares.

As the shares already in issue are 289,000,000 the extra shares are approx 6.25% of that total, also of course they have now more cash in hand therefore raising the companies value somewhat.

Not making light of the dilution, just showing that its not as bad as it might look, even if the offer is fully taken up, which I have sure it will be.

Regards Greek.

Also the government has already asked companies to either cut or even stop production if the weather gets bad in order to keep the lights on for the general publics safety.

We all know that the colder it becomes the less likely it is for the wind to blow, hence our next to useless wind farms become redundant.

I remember a few years ago when we had over a month will almost nil power being produced by wind power and that was when spare capacity was higher than it is today.

More and more companies are starting to look at fuel cells for the obvious reason of cost and now more for security of power.

Afc could be just about right in their timing for meg orders, once of course the Kore is fully proven and production is geared up to increase.

VICTIM - 14 Jan 2016 12:11 - 1166 of 1468

Funny old game this we have 860,000 buys verses 5000 sells and its slightly down , last few days more buys than sells .

HARRYCAT - 14 Jan 2016 12:21 - 1167 of 1468

Thanks for the above input Greek. The percentage of dilution is interesting and presumably why the sp hasn't settled at 20p. There is still a risk that the fund raising will be called off due to lack of take up by retail investors. You can't blame AFC for preferring the institutional investors, who are going to be less risk averse at the moment.

greekman - 14 Jan 2016 13:04 - 1168 of 1468

Hi Harrycat,

Agree re the institutional investors being preferred as it makes sense.

Many companies would have just left it at that, so it is good to see AFC not ignoring such as ourselves.

Still feel there will be a full take up, with many being disappointed that they will not be given the shares they have applied for.

HARRYCAT - 15 Jan 2016 11:39 - 1169 of 1468

Well, my cash has been taken by my broker, so I assume I now own shed loads more AFC shares, which presumably implies the take up was great enough to go ahead with the sale. The only way is up now.......surely??? ;o)

HARRYCAT - 18 Jan 2016 09:03 - 1170 of 1468

Rf, think you might have missed the boat here. Sub 20p didn't happen and sp now 25p. Lets hope AFC is fully financed and that KORE is up and running soon. Mid Jan we should hear news on the pre-commissioning phase.

Result of Shareholder Offer

On 17 December 2015, AFC Energy plc (AIM: AFC), the industrial fuel cell power company, announced that it had raised by way of the Subscription £2.47 million and that it was making the Offer to raise up to £1.13 million.

The Offer closed for applications at 11.00 a.m. on 15 January 2016 and the Company is pleased to announce that it has received valid applications from Qualifying Shareholders for 20,503,271 shares (representing £4,100,654.20 at the Issue Price) and was therefore 3.6 times oversubscribed.

Accordingly, after scaling back, the maximum number of 5,631,551 New Ordinary Shares will be issued to Qualifying Shareholders resulting in the Company raising £1.13 million before expenses, from the Offer, in addition to the £2.47 million raised from the Subscription, being an aggregate of £3.6m million before expenses.

Application has been made for the admission of the 5,631,551 Offer Shares to trade on AIM and it is expected that this will occur on 21 January 2016. The 5,631,551 Offer Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares.

Capitalised terms in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the circular dated 23 December 2015.

Mr Adam Bond, AFC's Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is a fantastic result for the Company and demonstrates the ongoing strong support we have from our loyal shareholder base who continue to believe in the opportunities for future success following the strides made by the Company in 2015. With the offer 3.6 times oversubscribed, I would like to thank our shareholders for such a positive response in the current challenging market conditions and for their continued support."



Total Voting Rights

Subsequent to the issuance of these Offer Shares, the Company will have 307,903,943 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Accordingly, following admission of the Offer Shares, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company is 307,903,943. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

i didn't take any more, but stayed with my modest holding in sipp

HARRYCAT - 18 Jan 2016 10:00 - 1173 of 1468

I wonder how they will divide the allocation. No mention of that yet.

required field - 18 Jan 2016 11:17 - 1174 of 1468

I'm glad it was a success....but the market was complete crap (still is..)....21.5p at one time....

Correction: Result of Shareholder Offer
The Company's announcement of 18 January 2016 (RNS Number: 1083M) stated that it had received valid applications from Qualifying Shareholders for 20,503,271 shares (representing £4,100,654.20 at the Issue Price) and was therefore 3.6 times oversubscribed. This should have stated that it had received valid applications from Qualifying Shareholders for 21,348,417 shares (representing £4,269,683.40 at the Issue Price) and was therefore 3.8 times oversubscribed.

All other details contained in the announcement remain unchanged.

HARRYCAT - 22 Jan 2016 13:02 - 1176 of 1468

Heavily trimmed back allocation.
I applied for approx 17k shares and got approx 4k.

greekman - 22 Jan 2016 16:29 - 1177 of 1468

Same here and yet my account does not show a debit including the cash not spent, no doubt that will appear soon.

greekman - 24 Jan 2016 15:24 - 1178 of 1468

As we know the RNS re milestone 11 is imminent (my bets tomorrow), and the result has to be one of the most important since AFC was conceived.

If it's as good as we hope, orders must follow and of course the opposite applies, a negative or even a poor milestone result would result in delays until any problems that had materialised had been corrected.

It's pure uncertainty that is keeping the sp at it's current levels and if the result is not as expected, just watch the sp sink.

But who among us is not full of expectations that the results will be good, after all milestones 1 to 10 have been on time and positive, can't see why milestone 11 will let us down and saying that where do we think the sp will be.

I have only put my neck on the line re sp forecasting about 3 times in over 15 years of investing on the AIM, but my bet is 40p plus within a week of a positive milestone 11 and nearer 75p following first contract.

The above of course could be 100% wishful thinking, but the post heading is not!

Nice looking chart and now hoping for a strong push through 30p.

kimoldfield - 26 Jan 2016 12:20 - 1180 of 1468

Roman Abramovich now holds 39,610,494 shares.

required field - 26 Jan 2016 12:50 - 1181 of 1468

Glad it's rising, I regret not picking up a few more...but the market sp was terrible at Christmas....

greekman - 26 Jan 2016 13:12 - 1182 of 1468

Todays RNS shows that the number of shares owned by Mr Abramovich separately and also by his investment company Elvington have not altered, it is only the percentage of the total shares and voting rights that have altered, all down to the total number of shares having increased from the recent offer.

They have neither bought or sold any!
