Andrew Austin attempted to buy IOG back in his rockrose days (and failed!). Sitting duck at this market cap with good assets and highly cash generative. The new UK levy means capex for IOG asset development can be off set massively against tax too - which seems a lot more attractive than the likes of potential solidarity contributions being touted in the EU for kists Dutch assets. Given this uncertainty around tax which makes European assets less attractive, and KIST is also net positive in cash equivalents, and given they attempted to buy serica and have an aggressive M&A strategy, IOG must surely have been evaluated as a target.
