It’s quite striking. Affrm’s biggest complaint for months has been SL trying to get his £4 million loan back, which he portrayed as a major problem threatening the company. That loan has now been resolved, as confirmed in the 2024 Annual Report:
“On 20 August 2025, Petroquest Energy Limited issued a Corporate Undertaking within which the majority of the Petroquest loan note would be written off and its security over assets held in Nobel Petroleum LLC be released. The balance of the loan will be converted into a 50% stake in Pennpetro USA Corp. This process has not yet been finalised as of the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Affrm, you said and I quote.
“Actions is being taken. PPP are by no means a crap company. Stephen Lunn got into this position (or inherited it) due to the fact that Anton, the old financial officer, had shares in Petroquest and then became a beneficiary. Lunn bullied his way onto the board (I think) because he loaned the Petroquest loan. So now I ask, does the RNS written on Friday go in favour of Lunn? Of course it does, because he’s made Tom look like a criminal. However, there’s more to the story.
So let’s take these things: if the deal wasn’t agreed/completed, then why:
1. Does Global Vision state on their website that PPP are partners?
2. Does Global Vision show that they bought out Nobel assets?
3. Why did JJ Drilling respond to say Global Vision are operators and contracted to them, as well as owning multiple upstream assets?
Also look at the RNSs. If they were completely fake, I’d hold my hands up, but I have reason to believe they weren’t—from GV’s point of view. I believe work has been going on behind the scenes. This is nothing more than an unsavoury move from Lunn to cripple the company because he’s using the Petroquest loan as leverage. Now we have an option to extend the loan by up to 31/12/2025, so why call the loan in early? Is that allowed? Is that even legal? On top of that, there’s a massive conflict of interest.
I tell you what: if I were Stephen Lunn, I’d be very careful here—on the main market, with thousands of eyes watching, including FCA/government/LSE officials. He needs to play this correct and fair. Before you hear the full story, don’t make your mind up on Tom; from what I can gather, he is a good person with PPP’s interests at heart. There is a large movement on Telegram—guys, I urge you to put your share holdings across to Lewis, he is collecting all shareholder evidence. Together, we will beat any underhand tactics that Stephen Lunn may have planned. Also, we still await to hear from Tom—trust me, we will.”
Despite this, you immediately find a new reason to complain about the 50% debt for equity swap. Just last night, you were hoping for an RTO, presenting it as the only viable path for the company’s future, and now your complaining again. This pattern suggests a clear bias. Your satisfaction seems entir
