RE: AGM and share price29 Jun 2025 13:46
All,
Great to meet those that attended the AGM and the pub afterwards!
Very briefly my observations of the day
Finance is taking longer than first anticipated. This is not because they are finding it difficult to secure, but quite the opposite.
Navitas started with looking at vendor finance but found it too expensive. They then investigated the bond market but found that there were institutions that were willing to provide a good old fashioned loan. This is by far the cheapest option for the project but the bank requires additional time for the due diligence. Hence it is taking longer.
Navitas is "laser focused" on getting Sea Lion to first oil. There is absolutely no chance of a rig share with BOR. SAM attributed zero value to the southern licenses until the North is an established oil development field. BOR board reckon their licence is worth hundreds of millions. Who do you believe?
And finally, I didn't hear one question with negativity towards the project or the BOD. This was during the open session and the meet and greet afterwards.
Therefore not one of the negative posters took their opportunity to address their concerns directly on the day. It would have been the perfect opportunity. You have to ask yourself why couldn't they be bothered to turn up?
