Yep, nutshell. The so called cornerstone is more likely to be small-mid-tier producer, or a small hedge fund, or even a high net worth individual.
I can't even see HK showing any interest really given zero-scale benefit to them. Possible but highly unlikely. In any event, why take a non-controlling stake in a minnow, when a buy out would cost nickles and dimes.
Max ASX-compliant spend by this cornerstone at circa $20mill MC is $5 mill.
One interesting proposition would be a breach of the JV provisions by HK, in the event it no longer fits current distressed capex plans or their HBP priorities. That would swing the WI/NRI pendulum back to AKK, who then have to deal with the HBP implications, and still wouldn't operate the half doz or so producing wells. Cant see that happening either.
