I have been a shareholder for 10 years, through the ups and downs of PCI, and there have been many downs. However, putting aside all of the negative messages I read here, the company has achieved major successes over the years and is at a major point in its development. Yes, the loss of the bid offer was a blow, but remember, a bid was made which must illustrate that PCI had value and was of interest to Dragon, and thus the Board had positioned the company well.
I have read through the EGM document and it is clear to me that shareholders should vote for the resolutions put forward by the Board. In particular, I think it important that new Independent Directors are appointed and that the new board is well balanced and represents all shareholders on an equal footing.. I have already voted for the Board's resolutions and suggest others read through the document before voting, and consider doing the same. .
PCI, and thus the board, have a world class asset, and one that will bring increased value to all shareholders in time. The other assets, not least Italy, could also add value, and I like others, have been frustrated by the delays, bought about by the reluctance of Italy to see such projects move forward in the light of the Gulf problems
In my view, if the vote goes in favour of the Board, the message will have been received and going forward, we should see progress towards better share value.
