Q: How do view Saturn Oil and Gas right now with the stock trading near a 52 week low and the company announcing an accretive asset acquisition in Sask?

(I'm thinking they bought up the CPG divested assets that were also just announced?)

A $100MLN bought deal was announced in the same release but I didn't catch the price/share??

Thnx
Dave

5i Research Answer:

SOIL announced it had entered a definitive purchase agreement for the strategic acquisition of two oil- asset packages in southern Saskatchewan for total net cash consideration of approximately $525 million. SOIL is purchasing these assets from CPG. The transaction is being funded through a mixture of debt and equity. Per SOIL's release, " The Subscription Receipts will be offered at a price of $2.35 per Subscription Receipt (one common share upon closing of the acquisition) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. It is an interesting deal, as SOIL will be substantially increasing its production capacity with midpoint of guidance for production for the next twelve months increasing 48%. There will be some dillution due to the bought deal offering as well as the risks of taking on more debt (with an already leveraged balance sheet). It is an aggressive acquisition that carries risks with further dillution for equity holders could be realistic. However, the stock is very cheap right now at 5.2x forward earnings.
