Nachwievor bin ich der Meinung, dass Tansee nur strategisch investiert und Dyesol dabei unterstützt das Ding in die Massenproduktion zu treiben. Ich bin nicht der Meinung, dass Tasnee hier vor hat Dyesol so billig wie möglich aufzukaufen.
Tasnee will spezielle Titanpasten, Polymere etc anbringen und dafür bauen sie sich Ihre Kunden (Dyesol) auf. Das ist ein riesen Markt.
From Eco Investor Update 4 March 2013
Major Arabian Investor for Dyesol Dyesol has attracted a $4 million investment from Saudi Arabian industrial giant, The National Industrialization Company of Saudi Arabia, also known as Tasnee. The investment is a 15 month redeemable loan note convertible into shares at 16.6 cents per share and with a zero coupon as required by Saudi Arabian law. During an initial six month exclusivity period, Dyesol and Tasnee will discuss a further investment up to a total of $20 million, partnership and investment possibilities around R&D collaboration, large scale production share, and potential demonstration projects in the Middle East.
Dyesol is to hold a share purchase plan at 16.6 cents per share to raise another $2 million and enable shareholders to invest alongside Tasnee.
Tasnee is a $5 billion diversified industrials company on the Saudi Arabian Stock Exchange and the world's second largest producer of titanium dioxide. It owns several titanium mines in Australia, mainly through its acquisition of Bemax Resources. Its subsidiary, Cristal, has been working with Dyesol UK since 2009 to develop nano titania for use in Dyesol's steel project with Tata Steel Europe. Nano titania is a semi conductor and a key material in the manufacture of DSC photovoltaic solar cells.
Tasnee will have the right to invest up to $20 million during the exclusivity period at 18 cents per share. Shareholder approval will be needed if the holding goes beyond 20 per cent.
Dr Talal Bin Ali Al Shair, Cristal's chairman and chief executive, said “We are so passionate about titanium from mining to pigments to specialty chemicals and beyond. Titanium is at the heart of all we do, and this strategic investment in Dyesol marks our commitment to pioneering innovation, constant product and process improvement, and our leading role in contributing to creating a brighter and cleaner world.”
Dyesol executive chairman Richard Caldwell said “Tasnee has demonstrated great commitment to the successful commercialization of our Dye Solar Cell technology, both through participation in long term R&D programs and now through its expression of intent by investment in a convertible note. Tasnee has a very strong balance sheet and interest to diversify its activities into renewable energy. Dyesol looks forward to exploring mutually beneficial opportunities.” (ASX: DYE)
