Think some shareholders may agree with the board ,but realise that if BP roll back on their commitments,that they will gain financially.
So they see it as a Win,Win situation.
Personally I believe if we keep making changes to strategy it makes it much harder to tell what is actually working,and what is not
That’s another major dent in the share overhang.
Other than the big 2, the other major shareholders appear to be 2% or less.
In my view it’s positive that Hln felt able to take part and buy back some as well.
It’s not the end of the share overhang,but think we are being showed it’s not a major problem,except to keep a lid on maximum sp.
It’s going to be interesting what happens to sp as the overhang shrinks away
1)
“Almost all of BP’s biggest shareholders are unhappy with its shift to green energy, an activist investor has claimed, amid a growing backlash over the oil giant’s focus on net zero targets.”
2)
“A BP spokesman said: “We do not recognise the assertions Bluebell has made. In recent weeks and months, we have engaged extensively right across our shareholder base internationally, including with our largest shareholders.
“We have heard clear and widespread support for BP’s strategy and our focus on delivery. Throughout this engagement, we have not heard support for Bluebell’s proposals.”
Somehow both statements cannot be true.
I think currently there is a wide range of views within BP shareholders, but would have thought it very easy to find out what the larger ones think.
