11 Sept 2009regulatory community update● Neutral
Rey clarifies its 20 August announcement: the 30-36 billion tonnes is an Exploration Target, not a resource. It restates the 510Mt JORC resource and the 2Mtpa production target. Reads as a correction of how earlier figures were presented.
7 Sept 2009annual report● Neutral

4 Sept 2009business combination▲ GoodMajor
Rey notes a rival: Crosby Capital intends a conditional takeover at 19.5c cash per share, equal to the 3 September close. Directors advise taking no action; they still recommend rejecting Gujarat's offer, now extended to 2 October.

Gujarat gives a routine notice that its offer is free of all conditions; its voting power in Rey is 16.85%. Procedural, no new terms.

Rey continues to urge rejection, noting Gujarat has only 0.21% acceptances. Rey closed at 20.5c on 21 August, 128% above the 9c cash offer and 63% above the share offer. Shareholders should do nothing.
21 Aug 2009business combination▼ BadMajor

Rey estimates 30-36 billion tonnes of potential coal across its 8,000 sq km Canning Basin leases, including 9-11 billion tonnes shallower than 350m. This is conceptual, not a JORC resource, and a drilling program targeting 1-2 billion tonnes is planned.
18 Aug 2009investor presentation● Neutral
MD Kevin Wilson's Coaltrans presentation pitches Rey as a thermal coal supplier to India and Asia, repeating the 511Mt Duchess-Paradise resource, the initial 2Mtpa export via Derby and ongoing offtake talks. Largely repeats known points.
11 Aug 2009regulatory community update● Neutral
Gujarat advises the Foreign Investment Review Board has no objection to its takeover bid, satisfying the foreign-investment condition. Other conditions remained at this point; a procedural step in the bid.
4 Aug 2009material agreement▼ BadMajor
Gujarat says it holds a pre-emptive right of first refusal over any sale of Rey's Canning Basin petroleum permits (including coal seam methane) and warns it may sue. This targets Rey's reported invitations to other parties for deals; it could complicate a rival bid or asset sale.
4 Aug 2009business combination● NeutralMajor
Rey's Target's Statement: directors unanimously recommend rejecting Gujarat's offer, and will reject for their own 19%. Shares closed at 19c on 3 August versus the 9c cash offer. The rights issue funds the pre-feasibility study to end 2009; 2Mtpa export from 2013 is targeted.

23 July 2009regulatory community update● Neutral
Gujarat gives notice that the date for determining who receives its bid documents is 24 July 2009. Administrative step in the takeover process. The notice refers to a '20 June' Bidder's Statement, apparently a typo for 20 July.

17 July 2009business combination● NeutralMajor
Gujarat sweetens its Rey bid with a 9c cash alternative to its 1-for-5 share offer. It cuts the minimum acceptance from 90% to 50.1% and drops the shareholder-approval condition, making the bid far more able to succeed than before.
13 July 2009quarterly activities report● Neutral
June quarter report restates the 511Mt Duchess-Paradise resource, the pre-feasibility study (about 2Mtpa export via Derby), the Myroodah 450-500Mt target, the Gujarat bid and the $2.75M rights issue. Liveringa target calculation is underway. Text truncated; mostly known points.
7 July 2009security holder rights change● Neutral

7 July 2009regulatory community update▲ GoodMajor
The Takeovers Panel declined to find unacceptable circumstances, so Rey's rights issue can proceed. BBY gave an undertaking to allocate any shortfall to sub-underwriters and keep its own stake under 5%. A setback for Gujarat's attempt to block the raising.
