The company's stock price closed up 0.25% at 244.60 penceThe NewMed transaction would result in Capricorn being paid a $620 million special dividend. It would also leave them with a 10.3% stake in the combined company, with NewMed shareholders owning 89.7%. A liquidation could value Capricorn's assets at 350 pence per share, versus the 254 pence-per-share valuation in the NewMed deal, according to Irenic. "The company has yet to present shareholders with any proposal that represents superior value relative to the straightforward liquidation value we have assessed," Irenic wrote in the letter. Prior to agreeing on a sale to NewMed, Capricorn scrapped plans to merge with Tullow Oil Plc (TLW.L) in a deal that would have valued Capricorn shares at 210 pence and would have given Capricorn investors 47% of the new entity.
