Between a Rock and the MNR.

I feel let down and duped by the near wipe out of my investment which I have held and increased over the past five years. At this point in time the repercussions of what is happening is for me literally life changing, though not in a positive way.
Being of a pragmatic disposition, and having looked closely at the information provided to shareholders on the GKP website, the chain of events which led us to being where we are have the MNR / KRG written all over them.
GKP is not Dana, we are a small Company and more vulnerable than Dana was when they took the legal route. In addition Shaikan is a large part of he armoury for Kurdistan's future as an Independent Nation, an aspiration of all Kurds. If GKP were to achieve an order for back costs to be paid to them, it would be a pyric victory whereby they'd have one a battle at expense of the war.

.... ''Furthermore, even under a scenario of significantly higher oil prices and recovery of all arrears from the MNR, the Company does not expect to be able to refinance or repay its current financial indebtedness of over US$600 million due in 2017.''
In order for the 18 offers / M&A proposals to proceed to a formal offer to be communicated to shareholders, the interested parties would first need to have discussions with the MNR - it's their oil after all... Should the KRG not be interested in cooperating with the above mentioned parties, no expressions of interest could proceed to a formal bid or M&A proposal.

It wasn't all due in 2017 , $250 mill in Oct 2018 I think.
