REXX-Sold REX Energy today on the good earnings. for a nice ST profit on my sub 10 buy.
With the sale of NFG, REXX, & hopefully soon to be completed CREDO tender. My energy sector exposure has been cut quite a bit. A fairly new buy for me GNE -has more recently decided to end the dividend on its class b common. IMO-Giving the chance to convert to a new series of preferred stock with a ballpark 8% yield is a good deal. Looking to see what the common sells for, after seeing the results of the solicitation.
>The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $8.50 per share, and dividend rights that are senior to dividends on the common stock, in an annual amount of $0.6375 per share, plus the potential for an increase in the dividend related to the performance of Genie’s retail energy provider (REP) business. The preferred stock will be redeemable by Genie after four years at a premium and after five years at the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends. Genie anticipates that following the payment of its second quarter dividend, dividends on its common stock will be suspended for an indefinite time.
