As you know, the moment that happens (if it ever happens) then SAVE are obliged to inform the market.
Strange though it may seem, I see an analogy between this situation and Gary Linker.
Lineker may feel smug that the BBC climbed down, totally forgetting that the club is bigger than the individual, a fact, as an ex sportsman, that Lineker should be well aware of.
What he hasn't cottoned onto (yet) is that he now has the establishment on his case and you cannot beat the establishment. Particularly foolish if you are already locking horns with HMRC.
The Chad "government", whether they realise it or not, have similarly just taken on the world's establishment. Their actions will not only make international investors think long and hard before risking their money in Chad but they have also put the whole of the African continent under the microscope. Imagine the potential domino effect if they are allowed to get away with this.
I'm sure that the SAVE, Exxon and Petronas legal teams are on top of the situation and stating the obvious, we investors just have to let it play out, which it will in due course.
I don't do mystic meg but I fail to see, even in a worse case scenario, where SAVE have to give up the assets (highly unlikely in my view) that we don't come out of this on the upside financially.
