The Company expects to dispose all assets that are deemed non-core including its Fort Worth Field ("Disposal"), potentially triggering the requirement for shareholder approval pursuant to AIM Rules 15
"Deemed non-core". So not all assets. Austin and ZR were deemed non-core previously: Red Cave was deemed to be core but now FW is non-core too. Previously, they said that the Red Cave was core and no mention of it being disposed of, so Red Cave it is. It looks like the RTO deal is with someone in the Amarillo area who has Red Cave exposure and wants to make it bigger. The IDCs represent real value to a US Based investor and need to be unlocked via a JV but an RTO would do it too. Note that the well operations contracts are not assets and so it looks like we would continue with that. It also looks like the partner we were previously having discussions with have fallen by the wayside.
If Rule 15 is not triggered then this might get done a bit quicker than people think.
It would make no sense to do this unless it is value enhancing. TB has already said he thinks the Red Cave is a great play and very predictable.
I expect that they will want to get support from the larger shareholders and the lenders in due course.
