RE: £2,000,000,000 of Gas22 Jan 2026 09:59
No its not an educated guess. At the AGM I think 38% of the shareholders voted against MR. It was meant to be a warning to him. The shareholders asked fpr an independent to go on the board. He basically said Yes but then when the shareholders proposed the very capable candidate he opposed it. Along with bad communications, owning very little stock himself, poor choice of words, huge salary, paid himself a £50K bonus, declining share price and more importantly his unwillingness to listen forced the hand of one of the Telegram groups, which collectively own around 35%, with a few TR1 holders and many that hold in excess of 1,000,000 and a few that are just below the 3% notification level. The second Prospex Telegram were also in basic agreement that MR was uninvestable. There was near to zero support for MR to stay and one of the great things about Prospex is that with the board having about 15% of the vote, a larger group should rid the shackles of AIM and actually get this £200M company back into better control so ALL shareholders can get the benifits . So the larger group looked for a new CEO and explained what his mandate was, which if you read the RNS and his package is highly motivated to sell the company at a price agreed by the shareholders. Prospex has been 20p before and many did not sell then because they gfelt the assets were stronger than 20p. Since then Viura has been added, Tarba has doubled in percentage terms. Tessorillo ownership has gone from 15% to effectively 95% and Poland is new to the mix. So Tom (new CEO) has the mandate to package and sell and engage partners for farm outs at El Rom and Poland although Poland is very early in the scenario. The Farm outs de risk the company from future fund raises. I think those are the facts, the assetts have been explained. It is an investment company , so a mere collector of incomes. The share price is ridiculous, but with TTFs at todays level it would be earning close to 10p per share and could easily pay a 5p per share dividend if it wanted too. The basic intention is not to expand and to realise the 40p- 50p value per share, but you might see share buy backs, dividends a lot would just depend on how the share price responds. With gas storage in Europe as it is, Tessorillo could be the game changer. With elevated gas prices and best estimate there is £10B worth of gas in the ground, so probably £2 per share if it gets a permit!
