Likewise - hoping for signs tomorrow that they are moving forward. As regards buying own shares - the permission was not granted by that portion of shareholders who are not part of the group of shareholders with a controlling interest. Maybe they want to force a bid to emerge.
Apologies if you've already seen this from last years AGM:
For the purposes of the FCA Listing Rules, the Concert Party (being EPIC, Giles Brand, Deanmor Investments, John Hornby and his PCAs) is a controlling shareholder as a result of it holding 73,515,467 shares (35,564,260 shares, 9,466,919 shares and 28,484,288 shares respectively). Each resolution to re-elect independent non-executive directors (resolutions 5, 7, 8 and 9) have under Listing Rule 9.2.2E been approved by a majority of the votes cast by: (i) the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and (ii) the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the controlling shareholder.

Per the Notice of AGM, the members of the Concert Party were not entitled to vote on the Rule 9 Waiver (Resolution 20). The Board is disappointed in the failure to pass the resolution by a majority of votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company.

Snoop, Hi and thanks for your deep insights over the last month, all 110 posts saying much the same thing...they've been very ...erm...consistent.
Let me add a little it may help you out.
What's going on is that very small volumes of shares are being traded and the movement is pretty much directionless - that is because the results are awaited. Big field=Big Value= Big rise OR No Gas= Little Value= price fall.
The discovery saw a spike in price, when 50 Million shares were traded, on Friday it was 11 million - note traded, not just sold.
So you'll see that virtually all of the One thousand eight hundred and sixty two million shares in issue - are not being traded but held by people most of whom will be waiting to see :
A) IF Gas is encountered (it has),
then B) If well testing shows it is commercial
and C) What Deltic can do to monetise it.
and D) If that seems like a good enough reason to keep holding
This is called investing and the people are called investors.
Hope this helps.

No please, don't rest it - make it. I'm intrigued to know the mechanics 13/12000ths of the shares sold = price fall because a poster of no significance (like you or me or Heid) utters their two pennorth.

Persimmon. My experience tells me that when someone thinks that a total of 2 sells totalling 13,000 shares from 112,000,000 in issue is enough to trigger a significant price fall then they are deluded.

Here we go again...Heid posts and the price drops. Is this just a coincidence one asks oneself?

Grow up.

Its a duster snoop - remember? You have pst any credibility on here - you may well have influenced some with your ridiculous statements. Best slink off now whether you hold or not.

Seconded. the board has become a bickering venue for a very few with nothing better to do. Thanks for a positive and informed contribution.

And those 'indications' are? Please, feel free to be as technical as you like

Or maybe you do. What exactly have they got wrong? Ah yes, the well is a duster says you without a shred of evidence, not even do you claim 'inside information'.

Well....I wouldn't go as far as that., but I have just bought more. Thing is the vast majority of shares are not being traded, today less than 0.4% of the stock was enough to induce panic among the small holders - that's every single one of us on here by the way. As of now the NET volume sold is less than 0.1% of shares in issue - that's not a bail out.
If you are in for a punt get on with it, if you want a certain steady investment then maybe give AIM oilers a miss.

Things are looking up then.

Notes referred to as They , Thon or Yon.......mon.

What do you mean 'IF' its a duster. You've already said it is, so many times.
This was you today 'I have no doubt that the news will be bad on this...' 'Also 100% its a duster'
Now its an IF.
Do us all a favour and wait and see - we are all in the same boat. IF its not a duster we're up, IF it is then we lose. There are no certainities and shares don't only go in one direction.

Great - well done - and the lottery numbers for next month are....
But anyway, if that is the case, why stay on here and bleat on about it. If you have shares, why keep them? Bit of recovery -sell and away.

Snoop.... Maybe investing isn't for you mate. Shares go down as well as up - sometimes for good reasons sometimes on sentiment sometimes aping the market with no good reasons. If you believe in the prospect you buy in and hope your'e right. Why the Frankie Howard act doom doom we'tr all doomed when the thing has just spudded I really don't know.
Give it a rest - if you believe your'e right sell up now - it would only get worse.

Sparta are clear that they will not let this drop - openly seeking support from other shareholder. Are the gloves going to come off at last and demands made for changes in the board? Hope so - they have my paltrey few votes.

Yep, there could be a war over ownership. Topps have fired the first round though - they have let it be known that 39% of shares will be cast against the resolution by holders on the boards side. If a hostile bid was made it would have to be large enough to win them over.

Can work out either way. AIM stock Burford suffered a similar Short attack by a USA firm and price collapsed, refuted it with evidence and all its resources as a legal finance firm.. but is still just about half the value it had been.
NMC Health were 'outed' in similar fashion - refuted it - but unfortunately it was all too true. Result is I have a 5 figure loss showing with shares suspended and realistically worthless- and that was an FT100 stock!
You pays your money and takes your chances....good luck, but not for me this time.

You might be right about a special dividend, but last year's interim specifically stated that a capital review was being undertaken, this year's does not.

I really think you'd do yourself a favour by keeping them to yourself.
