"Given the principal repayments that are due under the Group’s debt facilities, and the forecast production ramp up, the Group expects that it will require additional funding from some combination of the following alternatives over the next 12 months in order to maintain appropriate liquidity headroom:
(i) additional equity,
(ii) additional debt, or
(iii) some refinancing or restructure of the Group’s debt facilities."


* Principal repayments that are due under the Group’s debt facilities
=> refinancing or restructure of the Sojitz loan facility.

* Forecast production ramp up, - additional funding
=> Equity placement and/or soft loan with customers (Japanese /European)
To secure reliable and custom-made supplies that customers benefit soft loan similar to Sojitz loan facility are likely.

With so many options, why do you think the SP will fall when funding is announced? Even if share placement is announced with Japanese, European or Chinese I expect the placement price will be much higher than the present SP.

WMC in February 2013, issued 15 per cent of the Company’s capital base to CITIC. The Placement was at an issue price of $1.235 per share, a premium of 3 per cent to the closing price on the previous day and 11 per cent to the one month volume weighted average price. The share issue raised A$452 million, and was used primarily to pay down existing bank debt which strengthened the balance sheet.
The Company’s underlying earnings declined to a loss of $52 million for the 2012 year. Realised alumina prices declined 13 per cent on the prior year.
