RE: We are back we have a plan and £1.4M in the bank15 Oct 2024 15:29
This is the situation:-
Rhein Petroleum is in a into a formal process with its creditors (akin to US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection). This three-month process was expected to conclude in early October although it has been extended by the creditor's representative who is exploring options to maximise recovery of value for creditors. As part of this process, the Company has put forward a robust and fully financed restructuring plan aimed at maximising cash generation from the Rhein Petroleum business and delivering value for creditors. A resolution of the creditor process is expected during Q4 2024.
Here is the key update of the situation taken from the Filed accounts yesterday.
Following disappointing production rates from SCHB-2, the Company engaged with approximately 90% of the creditors of Rhein Petroleum with the aim of agreeing a reduction in liabilities and a deferred payment plan based on future cash flow generation of Rhein Petroleum. Unfortunately, agreement with creditors could not be reached and as a result the Company took the decision to place Rhein Petroleum into a formal process with its creditors (akin to US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection). This three-month process was expected to conclude in early October although it has been extended by the creditor's representative who is exploring options to maximise recovery of value for creditors. As part of this process, the Company has put forward a robust and fully financed restructuring plan aimed at maximising cash generation from the Rhein Petroleum business and delivering value for creditors. A resolution of the creditor process is expected during Q4 2024.
What this means is if the Creditors (the 10% who did not agree to come to terms in at the end of June) decide to accept the plan put forward by the board to satisfy their amounts owing now that we have a stabilised flow rate and a reduced cost base, then we could come out of the Administration process and continue to operate as far as I can tell.
Leys hope that is the case!
