Feedback from Enq regarding Barclay4 Apr 2019 15:30
Thank you for the feedback. I did see the note issued from Barclays today and have followed up with them directly. They have downgraded because they have moved the Kraken reserves to the lower estimate announced by Cairn, which we clearly disagree with and said so in a public RNS at the time Cairn made their announcement.
As you know, our share price has been held back by Kraken performance, which has been improving since our year end results, and the debt overhang. With regards the debt, we made our amortisation payment due on Monday and so have now reduced the bank facility (excluding the revolving facility of $75m) from $1,125 million to $680 million since mid-2018, and so are making good progress with reducing our debt as planned.
We continue to engage with the research analysts and investors as much as possible to ensure the equity story is understood.
