Ideal World9 Oct 2021 12:57
Ok, I thought I will do a SC morning sermon today as he seems to be too busy at the moment but this time in an ideal world scenario.
As everyone knows ceg is snowed under with debt whilst producing too little bopd to pay it off, they can only just about keep the lights on. So what to do?
It's obvious the company needs a proper restart and I'm not talking about just a company rename and one of Potter's lackeys taking the ceo job (whilst conveniently Potter stays on the payroll), I'm talking about a starting again restart.
(1) full company strategic review (warts and all)
(2) get a proper ceo in with proven experience (not failures like Potter and Eytan) and also a new coo
(3) slim the bod and company staff down to the bare minimum
(4) choose the companies single best asset with the highest roi and totally focus on that
(5) if no chance of a farm out for the Bahamas asset (very unlikely) then try to sell it as a whole (licenses if any, data room, good will, etc) then completely write off the rest.
(6) sell off all remaining assets apart from number 4 above
(7) with the sale proceeds and what is left in the bank try and pay off all debts (the company MUST be debt free)
(8) with all the above completed successfully and the company now an attractive investment, do a major placing with either sticky ii's and/or pi's to fully monetise number 4 above
(9) release regular rns's.
It will probably never happen but that's what I would do if I was in charge or as a major shareholder.
