Malcy Interview / Shareholder Circular17 Dec 2023 08:57
As a Europa Shareholder - i've been following the EGM saga here with some interest. I stumbled across the October interviews with the joint CEO's / Malcy.
If your just looking at this interview without any past history - there's quite an exciting pipeline of near term projects that could be quite transformative to the share price. Looking at the share price - under the current managements tenure, its gone from about 0.8p to 0.11p in just over 6 years - very poor to say the least.
I have sent Reabold an email to ask the question how they square past shareprice performance with ability of the current CEO's to generate returns going forward - I'll share the response should I recieve one.
I also read the recent shareholder circular - it again highlight the potential of their West Newton and Italian Gas Projects and perhaps answers the "why now" question - they say regulatory hurdles around gas have suddendly improved.
Also the comments around Sattar's behaviour in the circular if true dont paint a very unflattering picture.
I mentioned in the email to Reabold about dual CEO's being an unecessary expense - however, I also note in the circula that they bench mark Management emoluments against peers and their combined salaries appear to be significantly less than peers (atleast the ones they selected)
Could it be that regulatory sentiment, covid and the downturn in Oil since 2018 has been against them and that better days are ahead - particularly with their gas focussed strategy - interested to hear any thoughts here.
I would encourage all to read the latest sharholder circular if you havent already done so.
