(Alliance News) - Riverstone Energy Ltd on Thursday said it will return GBP30 million to investors through a compulsory share redemption.

This is the second partial redemption since the company's wind-down process began in August.

As of Thursday, Riverstone has 7.3 million shares in issue, of which it plans to redeem 34% at 1,194 pence, which represents the company's net asset value at the end of December, "with the amount to be applied to the redemption comprising monies from the company's existing cash balances".

All redeemed shares will be cancelled from the redemption date of April 27.

Once the redemption has closed, the company expects to have a cash balance of USD21 million.

"The board believes that this is a prudent level of cash for the company to retain as it seeks to protect the value of its remaining investments and ensure that adequate cash reserves are held for all anticipated running costs during the remainder of the expected managed wind down period," Riverstone noted.

It sees the cash balance reducing with investment disposals, the proceeds of which it plans to return to shareholders via further redemptions.

London-based Riverstone, which invests in energy infrastructure and energy transition credit, in January made an additional commitment of up to USD5.2 million for its investee Infinitum Electric Inc, a Texas-based electric motor manufacturer, though it had planned to stop new investments as part of the wind-down.

At the time, Riverstone explained that its manager RIGL Holdings LP had recommended the further commitment to Infinitum to "avoid a liquidity constraint" which would result in a decline in the value of Riverstone's investment.

Riverstone reported annual results last month, booking an 8% on-year rise in NAV per share at December 31 to USD16.07, and noting "rapid and positive progress" in winding down.

The company's shares rose 15% to 850.00 pence each on Thursday afternoon in London.
