I know ive stated this before but TOR didn't have a choice. The investors got rid of him. He wasted valuable time and money on APEC based on a tenuous link to CNOOC etc. When this fell apart, it's not beyond the bounds of possibilities that the main investors said enough. Furthermore, if you were a potential farm in partner, would you want to farm in with him running the company. Just look at the millions wasted on dusters, legal disputes and unwarranted bonuses over the last number of years.
Pagent holdings have probably lost 50% plus on their 15% holding. Similar for the rest.
It's going to be a worse deal for sure. There will be no full carry unless they put together a number of partners. Still think an outright sake of exola is very likely option too. If you are innocent enough to take a chairman's word on something as subjectice as "world class assets" at a given point in time, this probably isn't the share for you.
I don't think they need either of the tallow director in full time capacity. The data room is set up for ages. Anyone interested has made themselves known. They don't need contracts just to negotiate something.
Ticking up a bit in London over the last few days.
