I was just reading a few old rns's, and came upon this:-
Board Changes
On 24 January 2022, Zac Phillips was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Zac had previously been, and continues to be, engaged by TomCo, through his company, Oil & Gas Advisors Limited, to provide advice in respect of a number of financing initiatives.
Zac has over 22 years’ experience in the oil and gas sector, and of finance, working for companies such as BP, Chevron, DB Petroleum, Merrill Lynch and ING Barings, where he undertook finance or finance related roles. He is an expert in the valuation of oil and gas exploration and production assets at all stages of the cycle. Previously, Zac was the CFO for Dubai World’s oil & gas business (DB Petroleum), with responsibility for risk management, valuation and authoring of investment proposals. Zac has an Honours Degree in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Chemical Engineering. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators.
At the same time, Richard Horsman resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company in order to focus on his other business interests. I would like to thank Richard for his contribution to the Company and we wish him well in his future endeavour.
So, with such a well-qualified Board member employed to carry out financial initiatives, why is he not in control of financial initiatives? Why does the CEO run the finance, Fail to complete any, get a pay rise, and the talent is left out for a non-qualified board member? Does JP think he is better, with no qualifications, than the Board member with excellent qualifications experience and success, in finance, oil and gas, the reason why TOM is struggling to raise finance?
I repeat my request to share-holders to attend the AGM and vote to remove John Potter from his position and salary as a positive step forward.
