The document ADM_170, titled "Letter to Creditors re Progress Report," was indeed published on April 28, 2026, at 17:26:06.
This document serves as a formal update from the Joint Administrators (FTI Consulting and Teneo) regarding the ongoing administration of the Prax Group (specifically companies like State Oil Limited, Prax Petroleum, and associated entities).
Key Highlights of the Update:
Completion of the Lindsey Oil Refinery Sale: As of April 28, 2026, the Official Receiver confirmed the finalization of the sale of the Lindsey Oil Refinery assets to Phillips 66 Limited. This includes the site in Lincolnshire and several terminals (Killingholme, Jarrow).
Employment Impact: Of the remaining employees, 109 have been recruited by Phillips 66, while 55 were unfortunately made redundant following the completion of the sale.
Administration Extension: The report indicates that while the current administration period for several entities (SOL, PPL, PTL) is set to end in June or July 2026, the Administrators are likely to request a 12-month extension (extending the process into mid-2027) to resolve outstanding matters, including intercompany debts.
Creditor Claims: Any outstanding invoices or matters related to the liquidation period are now being directed to a dedicated FTI Consulting team (PLOR.invoice@fticonsulting.com).
Context for Creditors
This progress report is a critical milestone for creditors (including "DCU" holders mentioned in market discussions) as it provides a clearer timeframe for potential distributions. However, given the ongoing investigations into "loan irregularities" and the freezing of £150 million in assets belonging to the former owner, Sanjeev Kumar Soosaipillai, the recovery process remains complex.
Note: If you are a creditor or shareholder looking for the full 100+ page technical report, it is typically accessible via the Companies House filing history for Prax Petroleum Limited (Company No. 04595500) or the specific administration portal hosted by FTI Consulting.
