RE: AGM1 Jul 2018 15:07
Good morning
I posted the following on LSE after a couple of posts about PL (buying the Co) and what happened at the AGM - a 1hr open floor Q n A with PL, all very informative and at times uncomfortably tense, really good AGM), this was my response, in case anyone interested)
Re: share buys and simple brief answer;
PL - PPC needs access to the market to raise finance, get placings, commercial loans (as per new loan in Arg)
No individual could say fund a drilling campaign - even if you could would you risk the families silver.
Other BoD - personally I think they should purchase more, I've followed this since 2011/12 and aware of 6 individuals that own more than any other current BoD, ranging from 600k+ to 2m shares.
100k share purchase isn't significant in my opinion
AGM, was there, very brief summary;
1. Only RB and M-S on the top table, finance chap was also there. Always found them helpfull, even going back years John H, Dave W-Walker and Dr Jenkins (now with HUR) were approachable.
Disappointed PL and Miles weren't there, they had valid reasons but it's the AGM and they choose the date.
2. Negatives = well DP001 @ PG - litigation ongoing and Chinese pumps @ PG defective again legals of some form. Also not drilling P'guay.
3. Positives = bopd increasing as such cash flow allows for Co' to grow via cash flows as opposed to fundraise (assuming any fundraise will relate to another project which i have no qualms about)
Data rooms for both licences trying to be farmed out with NDA's signed
In my opinion the sp will languish here for months and full value of today's assets won't materialise until;
They resolve the court case re:DP001 ----
They RNS that they were recompenssed for those Chinese pumps --- that bopd is at least 6k, but more likely 8k+ --- that we get the 2 farm-in partners (and that those are names, not 'Who the fXXX are they oil Co's'
Lots of other bits at an AGM with about 20 attendees @ 50% suits 50% PI's.
They are trying and we need a bit a luck for a change.
Another wonderful sunny day here in Snowdonia - mountains on one side and the sea on the other
Kind regards all
