Agree .... but a little like the questions being asked atm about the exit strategy for the virus .... what is AA exit strategy ?
There is no way he could sell his shares on the open market at circa 5000p (£50) So how would he exit ?
The only answer is to sell the whole company. But to do that not only do market conditions need to be right, but also the company does too. So imo, AA will acquire at least one more large UKCS acquisition via RTO that is able to operate in harsh economic conditions, plenty of cash, stack of FCF, no debt and shed-loads of organic growth potential. Bolt onto this several 'small' deals and you have a ready made package for sale most probably to a PE backed outfit in 2021/22.
Remember £50ps is a company valued at only c£650m, a company that could be producing >70kboepd, with reserves of >180mmboe and exceptional FCF .
£50ps appears a long way away atm ... though that can very quickly change as pre Marathon acquisition holders can concur.
