See questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10 below. Silent Steve may continue to refuse interviews, but in the annual filings he would be expected to provide some fundamental updates on each of those questions. Delaying the accounts is a clear sign that he intends to delay the delivery of the bad news, yet again proving my point that the CEO is willingly withholding market sensitive news that he knows will impact the share price.
Yes, they are entitled to a delay in filing as per Covid-19 allowances, but I do very much doubt that there was really any delay with the company accountants, especially given that the Accountancy industry is one of the best trades to be in given the Covid restrictions (i.e. no need for travel). Of course, the rampers will say otherwise..... yawn. Wait until 30th April, and then tell me I was wrong. I firmly believe we are now waiting for the Turkey placing that is the worst kept secret on AIM.
"I wonder if the CEO of UKOG will do an interview this year, if he does I bet that he only focuses on Turkey. He'll probably prepare the questions and then answer them. He would not want to be asked the difficult questions and give honest answers to them.
1) What is the short, medium and long-term plan for the Horse Hill site?
2) Will you be dual completing the HH1 well to produce from Kimmeridge and Portland as previously announced?
3) What is the current state of HH2z conversation to a water injector / pressure support well? How much cash is needed for that?
4) What is the current cash position, how much do UKOG have in the bank and will a placing be needed for Turkey?
5) What are your plans for BB, be honest, is it just a delaying tactic to avoid plugging and abandonment costs?
6) Will shareholders have to wait until the annual filings to see what you were paid and how much of a reduction you took, was it 50% or was it 20%, why were you so coy on this in the RNS?
7) What are your views on company performance and bonus, do you think it is fair to reward yourself with a bonus given the decimation of shareholder value?
8) Is there a reason why you haven't bought any shares in UKOG? Why is this the case, do you not see the concerns from the market and its impact on the SP in you having no skin in the game?
9) Can you update us on IoW, will it be something that UKOG pursue or is it going to be set aside given your forays into Turkey?
10) What timetable do you place on drilling HH3 at Horse Hill, will this realistically happen, or is it the view that the site is not worth further investment?
That's 10 for starters. Who else would like to see the CEO do a proper interview and answer these questions? Should a CEO be allowed to remain in position if he refuses to uphold the integrity expected of him?"
