Investment? £15m nominal value (2 Viewers)

[Pitch87]

Looks like an external investor has invested £15m and now owns 10% of the club.

The calculation is 11,000,000 original shares + 1,222,222 newly issued shares =12,222,222 total shares. 1,222,222 shares therefore equates to 10%.

The £15m looks like it has gone into the company (rather than out to a seller) as these are new shares. This therefore implies Doug valued the club at £135m before the money came in and £150m post money (hence £15m for 10% stake).

It will be very interesting to know who now owns that 10%. Unlikely to be Doug or related party as he could just continue to fund the business by way of the 0% unsecured loans he has used previously.

It doesn’t imply he values the club at that at all. It’s worth nothing like that.

 

[Pitch87]

It more than implies, it's a factual calculation.

It isn’t. It’s an injection of cash through share capital and isn’t to do with any valuation. The club is worth nothing like that.

 

[Pitch87]

It's £15m for a 10% stake (calculation above).

 

[fernandopartridge]

The money has not necessarily made its way to the club yet, it's an injection of capital into the club's parent.

The price to buy a share and the value of the company are not necessarily the same.

Years ahead of his time. Every match day thread contains dozens of substitute suggestions now.

That's the definition of the equity value. We may not agree that it is a rationale valuation by normal metrics but a willing buyer has paid that to a willing seller, hence fair market value. The number of shares multiplied by the price per share is the equity value.

Heard it here first:

After saving his earnings as a mascot since 1969, Sky Blues Sam becomes minority owner of CCFC.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m still convinced it coincides with Nicola Ibbotson coming in from PSG… she’s coming in to make sure QSI’s latest investment is going into the club

He still owes a % doesn't he? Or did that all get swallowed up when King took over?

He doesn't anymore

Edit - unless he's just fronted £15m

OMG, do you think he's a Klingon.

These are WUM accounts. They only come on to get a reaction. I wouldn’t try using logic or facts to persuade them.

Broadly agree, except that a minority share will be at a discount because of the lack of control.

So, (usually) the value of a 100% stake will be more than 10 times the value of a 10% stake.

Why do you suggest a new investor ?

If you check the CCFC Companies House page you will see a similar issue which is where the funds finish up

The shares issued are ‘A’ class shares. They are a separate share class which will most likely have different voting rights, entitlement to dividends etc.

It’s unlikely 1 ordinary share will be valued the same as 1 ‘A’ share as they will hold different rights.

Yes could be Doug, fully agree but why issue new shares when the previous new money (£30m+) that Doug has invested post acquisition has come from interest free loans? If you own 100% you don't need to issue new shares (unless for specific reasons like tax which isn't my area) as dilution isn't an issue. Also think the shareholder rights of the new issuance are filed at Companies House and seem the same as existing shares. Absolutely no reason for thinking this but can't help wondering if Ashley/Arena is involved as greater alignment of interests makes sense but that is complete speculation.

I agree with this.

It’s not just a share issue, but a whole new class of shares too.

Loaning money would have been much easier, and cheaper (if interest free).

I would think he is constrained by EFL rules regarding debt in CCFC. So he has to put funds in by way of capital

For PSR, which has already been established we are not even close to reaching.

Cheaper ?

Not difficult to do a share issue on line. Less hassle than a loan agreement

 

[shmmeee]

This thread is nice. Like old times.

Not an expert on PSR but think that restricts losses (not amount of debt). Interest free loans have no impact on P&L (losses).

Very possible, could well be Doug but strange to change MO.

Let’s be honest, DK has not gone online to sort this. He would have paid his accountant. That’s why I meant cheaper.

Debt is cheaper than equity btw.
