AIM - LOSERS
----------
Rockhopper Exploration PLC, down 20% at 10.3p, 12-month range 4.5p-20.35p. The oil & gas exploration and production company shares an update on arbitration of its dispute the Italian government. On Friday, Italy submitted an application to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes seeking to annul a recent award to Rockhopper, and requested a provisional stay of the enforcement of the EUR190 million award. Chief Executive Officer Samuel Moody calls the news "disappointing", adding: "Based on legal advice we believe annulment proceedings are likely to take approximately 18 to 24 months, albeit interest will commence accruing again in December 2022. We remain confident in the strength of our case, as was reflected in the unanimous decision underpinning the Award in August, and very much hope and believe the annulment request will be rejected in due course." Rockhopper says it has a non-binding offer in place for funding to fight the annulment and enforce the award.
----------
Ncondezi Energy Ltd, down 17% at 1.1p, 12-month range 0.4p-1.95p. Says it needs and intends to secure additional funding before the end of November, with "various options available and under consideration". This includes the potential additional tranche of GBP150,000 that may be available to it under the terms of the convertible loan facility it announced back in mid-September.
