Highlands CEO Robert Price said, “The current oil and gas environment presents an excellent market opportunity to acquire high quality assets from distressed companies. Many debt-ridden companies are becoming increasingly desperate. Our Main Market listing is focussed on capitalising on this by building a de-risked, revenue generative oil and gas portfolio which also benefits from exposure to exciting exploration upside potential. We believe that our 80:20 model is responsive to current investment criteria and will provide investors with exposure to oil and gas assets with stable income at current oil prices, thereby positioning us strongly for a price rebound in the future.
“Our Board and Advisory team, which has exceptional avenues into both banks working with distressed oil and gas companies and industry professionals, is currently examining a wide range of opportunities. Not only do we have experience acquiring assets but also the proven operational expertise to develop them effectively. With this in mind, we are confident that we will have positive news regarding our corporate activity in due course and look forward to providing updates in respect to these exciting opportunities.”
