Have a look at Milton’s appointment announcement on 9th November:
https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=1323-16202122-0FV8RVK7NPCT40I17JJ7DMPJ76
All being paid in share options only, but note this bit:
The Options have an exercise price of 1.5p per share and the Options will vest on completion of a substantial transaction and will have a life to expiry of 3 years from the date of vesting.
Wonder what that ‘substantial transaction’ could be…..
Don’t lose sight of this from earlier this morning….
Good Morning, apologies for no update yesterday, very busy one…
Already being noticed by Momajid, so time to share a few things about Milton Capital.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let’s have a look at the directors of Milton Capital, a small, inoffensive investment fund based in London. Only four directors, so nice and cosy….
https://milton-capital.co.uk/about.html
Richard Paul Mays (Non-Executive Director) He was Vice President Business Development and General Counsel of Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited. A role he held since 2014.
Influential player, knows COPL inside out.
Nick Pillar (Non-Executive Director)
He served for 10 years as Head of Geophysics for COPL, until retiring last March, where he undertook geophysical analysis of opportunities and assets in the UKCS, West Africa, and America. Basically, Art’s right hand man, knows both fields inside out and fully aware of their value.
Malcolm Burne (Director)
Malcolm started his long career as an equities analyst and later became a financial columnist with the Financial Times and other business publications blah, blah….
His work history on the Milton site is extensive and varied (and highly successful), but one thing he avoids mentioning is that he’s one of Tom Winnifrith’s mates and a former Director of TW’s collapsed Rivington Street Holdings!
A very small world, isn’t it?
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/1cl1k40cIqE9BKHoVptLHUiKqZs/appointments
Their Chairman, Malcolm Burne, has stated publically, within an official Chairman’s report, that they are actively seeking a reverse take over target within the O&G sector. This is an organisation that has been vary low key for several years, but sprung to life towards the end of last year, took on two new ex COPL directors, has two big , well connected financial bruisers and a network of connections behind it (which we may go into later). It’s a highly focused RTO vehicle, re-structured late last year for a specific task.
Who’s pulling it’s strings?

Stas, we get that, we really do - we’re all p’ed off investors ourselves. We have not got limitless man power resources. Therefore, for now only, we have to target them. Very bluntly, targeting AM right now would give you zero chance of getting either of your choices. Zero. Let’s concentrate on the main issue, then return to that later.
Stas, please re-read the post. There is no softening on anything, it’s just focusing on the here and now, the clear and present danger. When everything comes out in the wash, that’s when we can apportion chronological blame. I understand your frustration, but we must focus on stopping the current wrong doers, for now.
ST, by all means contact him and ask, but good luck with that. His contact details are on old RNSs. We’re concentrating on stopping the transfer of assets to Anavio’s grubby hands, that is what we see as the clear and present issue. No softening on anything, just focused.
Just about to slip off the first page, so apologies for the re-post….
So, Anavio gives us out of date info, telling us they held 25% over a week ago.
No TR1 from the off-shore buyer for the other 25%. Not expecting anything there, there could be links we’re not meant to see!
I see one poster lying and stating that we’re asking SHs to finance legal action. We are not.
I see some saying ‘chase Art’, not Saint Tom. Well, Art made big mistakes, BIG mistakes, but Our Tom, Anavio and their chums exploited those mistakes and have since taken things to an altogether different level. That’s when the plan was ratcheted up to take our company from under our noses. Greed, sheer greed on an epic scale. Everyone could have won here, everyone. Indeed, everyone still could, if only common sense were to prevail. They appear to want a war. Well, we’re about to set up a laundry in their village square, time to wash some dirty linen in a very public way….
Oh, and the FCA just acknowledged receipt of, and thanked us for our latest research dossier. The SP jump two Fridays ago didn’t happen by chance - Anavio were buying out their shorts after contact from the FCA. The FCA didn’t do that and then close the file, did they? No, if we were in Our Tommy’s gang’s boots we’d be very worried indeed…..

There can only really be two points of view regarding ‘Our Tom’ Richardson.
You look at the links supplied, the contacts he has and the way he’s conducting himself and you may understandably say ‘too much smoke, he must be up to his pits in this.’
Or, if you think he’s an innocent wee lamb, then his corporate record of repeated share value decimation at companies he’s been involved with surely makes him truly, truly incompetent.
No other options really.
So who proposed him to COPL as a suitable director? Who would propose someone with such a shocking track record of SP destruction? Must have been a mate…a very good mate!
So , choose your view of Our Tommy.
Mr Richardson, if you have even a shred of integrity, or perhaps some well hidden remnants of dignity, just walk. You’ve been a living nightmare for COPL’s shareholders, and a wholly unfit and unrepentant disaster for the company. I’d imagine you’re now being seen as a growing liability by your bond holder buddies too.
Dirty linen in public? We haven’t even started…..
