Australia:

Two Asian Groups Approach to Invest in Panax (theindonesiatoday.com)

Panax Geothermal Limited is to be renamed Raya Group Limited

Panax Geothermal Limited, an Australian company with geothermal projects in Indonesia, claims it has been approached by two ‘Asian Groups’ to invest in the company, while Panax will change its name to Raya Group Limited.

“Whilst initial contact has been quite informal, it has highlighted the significance of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Approval to continuing discussions, as project funding would need to be linked to confirmed revenue streams from these assets,” Panax said on its recent filing on Australia Securities Exchange (ASX).

Without disclosing the identities of the Groups, one of them is said to have completed significant due diligence on the portfolio of projects, at their own expense.

Additionally, the Extraordinary General Meeting held last week has approved to change the name of Panax Geothermal Limited to Raya Group Limited.
