NAME CHANGE - OR NOT! HMMM...31 May 2021 15:12
Name change.
Cut your cloth to suit. If PG sticks his original plan and disposes of all assets within the short term (say next 12/18 months). I see no need for a change. In this scenario the SP is mainly irrelevant - outside capital raises - as value will out via disposal dividends. However, if PRD are now playing longer term, and there is clear evidence of appetite ( FSRU Ireland / tender in Morocco / talking green energy opps etc ) a green name reflecting what we actually do is vastly more appealing / maybe soon VITAL to a forward thinking investment community ( eg just look at TOTAL last week morphing brilliantly into TOTAL ENERGIES ). At a stroke, one word “Energies” completely changed their perception. Future proofed it. For the better. Cometh soon the day when oil and gas in your name gets you pelted with eggs.
PRD are a responsible green aware company in everything but name. If we’re hanging around for the longer term; CHANGE IT.
