Investing Policy
The Company intends to make investments in the oil and gas sector.
The Directors intend initially to focus on Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia where the Directors believe that a number of opportunities exist to acquire interests in suitable projects, although other regions may be considered. Investments may be made in exploration, development or producing assets.
The Directors may consider it appropriate to take an equity interest in any proposed investment which may range from a minority position to 100 per cent. ownership. Proposed investments may be made in either quoted or unquoted companies and structured as a direct acquisition, joint venture or as a direct interest in a project.
The Company intends to be an involved and an active investor. Accordingly, where necessary, the Company may seek participation in the management or with the board of directors of an entity in which the Company invests or in the event that it is acquired then in the on-going enlarged entity.
New investments will be held for the medium to longer term, although shorter term disposal of any investments cannot be ruled out.
There will be no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, and the Company's financial resources may be invested in a number of propositions or in just one investment, which may be deemed to be a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Where the Company builds a portfolio of related assets it is possible that there may be cross-holdings between such assets. The Company does not currently intend to fund any investments with debt or other borrowings but may do so if appropriate.
Investments may be made in all types of assets and there will be no investment restrictions.
The Company's primary objective is that of securing for the Shareholders, the best possible value consistent with achieving, over time, both capital growth and income for Shareholders through developing profitability coupled with dividend payments on a sustainable basis.
Following on from adopting an Investing Policy, the Company will be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules or otherwise implement its Investing Policy within 12 months of the General Meeting, failing which the Ordinary Shares would then be suspended from trading on AIM. If the Investing Policy has not been implemented within 18 months of the General Meeting the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares would be cancelled and the Directors will convene a general meeting of the Shareholders to consider whether to continue seeking investment opportunities or to wind up the Company and distribute any surplus cash back to Shareholders.
