First of all-this isnt a definitive offering. There is no specified purpose for the mixed shelf offering. So its not clear if they would issue common shares at such a depressed price. That said I believe that there all sorts of economies of scale at work here, and that becoming a bigger fish in your own pond staying within your area of expertise makes a great deal of sense to me. A relative of mine who has since passed went from being a run of a mill insurance agent to the largest insurer of diamonds being transported in the world, just by finding a specific niche becoming an expert in it and expanding within that niche.
