Yes, I’m guessing and purely a guess… one of the offtakers wants part of the expansion. Meaning EQUITY partners to be announced.
They won’t announce the expansion as the offtaker hasn’t committed and they won’t commit as they don’t want the SP to rise. Hence costing them much more to get in.
Being very honest, this is only speculation from me, but I cannot explain the AU$700m+ (way too much flexibility- your words, in my eyes) when they already have overrun facility in the order of AU$500.
Yhey know all shareholders prefer debt over equity. They noted that at all quarterly’s previously.
That’s my BIG please explain at the meeting come Wednesday.
Logically, non of the equity partners wants to announce otherwise cost themselves when the SP increases.
