Maybe this time , half price , even a bidding war ??? . An extensive due diligence process commenced on 22 July 2014 and, on 14 September 2014, Dragon Oil confirmed to the Company that it had completed its due diligence, and planned to seek an irrevocable undertaking to support its making of an Offer from its majority shareholder the Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) L.L.C. ("ENOC").
Petroceltic had stated in its announcement of 6 October 2014 that, subject to consultation with its shareholders, it would be willing to recommend an Offer at 230 pence sterling per share in cash if such an irrevocable undertaking was obtained from ENOC, given such Offer would be subject to the approval of Dragon Oil’s shareholders.
Dragon Oil informed Petroceltic on 30 November 2014 that it no longer wished to make an Offer at this time for the Company, citing prevailing market conditions. Maybe ENOC will join the process .
