18/3/2019 07:40	gismo: Morning. Excellent post from PageofCups on LSE last night. RE: Some facts the way I see itLast year BPC did have enough cash to conclude a farmout providing the BG announced an extension for the licences before the end of 2018 so they could complete the commercial terms of the farmout. The major who was in exclusivity, was waiting for the extension last year but as it was not forthcoming could not justify extending the exclusivity without the licence extension in place and was not prepared to carry on paying $250k per month, therefore at the end of August the major did not extend the exclusivity but instead told BPC to came back to them when they had got the extension. Simon Potter could not say why the major had ended the exclusivity other than it was nothing to do with the geology or the rocks, which the major likes very much. The fact the licence was extended from the beginning of 2019 to end of 2020 gives an idea at the time of when this was being decided, ie: last year, to be concluded and announced before year end, and was based on a 2 year window at the request of BPC and the major. Unfortunately the BG took longer to approve the extension and this became clear at the end of February when the approval came and they already are 2 months into the 2 year time window requested by BPC and the major. Obviously the BG knows who the major is due to BPC's request to extend the licence and the BG knowing who the major is that was requesting, in order to get a farmout agreed. Unfortunately the AG let slip that he knows who the major is and that BPC have an agreement not realising that BPC may not have yet agreed commercial terms or may have been in the process of needing to raise funds with the placing, in order to have enough funds to get the deal over the line. The placing was promulgated after the licence extension which was a pre-requisite for the placing, when the share price was 1.7p. The share price rose steeply after the AG made his comments and let the cat out of the bag. All he knew was that they had extended the licence because BPC had a major who needed the 2 year window for the drill to happen, and that granting the extension would seal the deal, hence the AG was confident that a well would be drilled. The reference in the latest BPC presentation for a farmout in 6-12 months is in fact referring to the immediate upside potential 6-12 months after a farmout is announced and then a further upside potential of 12-18 months for the drilling and any oil discovery. This is effectively the duration of the extension. This is what is attractive to the new institutional investors and is BPC's unique selling point that they have a drill ready project with a multi billion barrel well and a major ready to go. HENCE THEY WERE ABLE TO RAISE THE CASH. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
05/3/2019 07:35	bigsi2: Firstly -BPC share price was vastly higher 20p approx in 2010 so could raise larger sums for costs much easier and would this be in a position to negotiate termsSecond - the POO was much higher so economics of protect much betteralbeit drill costs reduced for BPCThirdly - id take paid for reports and coverage with a pinch of salt as BPC we're still raising funds at this time Read Full Thread Follow Reply

13/8/2018 05:50	pro_s2009: To try to estimate the deal that BPC may (or may not) get I have gone through the following scenario : I am the CEO with 70 million shares. Whats best for me ? Priority 1 : Keep my share entitlement intact. Priority 2 : Maximize the potential share price going forward. So I should get a very good deal for BPC which will leave it strong enough to require no further cash calls until drilling is finished whilst at the same time getting as many drills done as possible. I should ensure that BPC is left with enough cash at end of drilling to be in a strong position to either sell the discoveries at a good price, or raise money to commercialize them at a good price. No firesale, no panic fund raising. I should get as many of the top targets drilled as possible so as to maximize the potential ahead of selling the finds or raising money for commercial development. A/ Major offers BPC retain 30% of the licenses and gets 1 free carry drill (to testing) and 100 million cash for back costs. Not really doing my 70 million shares the best over the long term. If 1st well fails then money is tight for a further drill. B/ Major offers BPC retain 30% of the licenses and gets 2 free carry drills (to testing) and 60 million cash for back costs. Better, now got 2 chances to really multi bag my shares. Downside only 2 chances and what happens if other area's are better and bigger. C/ Major offers BPC retain 30% of the licenses and gets 3 free carry drills (to testing) and 30 million cash for back costs. Probably be happy with that. BPC has enough cash to see it through to the end of the three drills and be strong enough not to be pushed around when the time comes to sell the finds or plan for commercialization. For me this gives the maximum potential uplift to my shareholding. Every 1p on the share price earns me 700K GBP, and so with 3 drills and BPC ending the 3 drills still with loads of cash and able to sell or plan to develop, my shares will do very well. So taking that into account my expectation of a deal, if it happens, will be all the 3's. BPC retain 30% of the licenses and Major takes over 70% and becomes operator. BPC get 30 million in back costs in cash. BPC get 3 free carried wells drilled (free to BPC until final completion and any testing). That above will give the biggest share price appreciation and so rewards for all shareholders who hold through to drilling. Once drilling is near given the massive potential and already proven oil system there (from drills decades ago) one would expect the BPC share price to be around 70p (just like the Falkland oilers market caps as drilling started were near to a billion) - however Bahamas is bigger and better in terms of size of potential and lower in terms of risk of finding oil as thats proven already in the area. I have top sliced once already (enough so that I can sell all the remaining BPC I have at 0.5p and come out with zero profit or loss) and have now decided no further top slicing in the event of a deal - just add on dips (after deal) and hold through to drilling next year (or late this year even depending on the Majors accessibility to rigs and EA approval).

06/8/2018 14:26	easybrent: This is pure speculation, but my view is that the changes to the CEO contractual terms are related to a requirement from current or potential new investors in BPC. BPC CEO base salary of $1m per year is well above what the peers make in the micro-small cap E&P on AIM. The CEO has agreed in the past to deferred 90% of his compensation since 2016, which make it a bit difficult to compare his salary with other peers. The move to deferred 90% of the salary and only receive it if BPC manages to get a farm-out deal done might have been very smart decision by the CEO as the share part of the deferred compensation is based on new shares valued at the average price for each month. Considering that the stock has been around 1p for a long time, the CEO would get a lot of shares well below the current share price if the company manages to secure a farm-in partner. The big question is today, why are these changes being implemented now? I very much doubt that the secret international oil company BPC is negotiating with for a farm-in would make such a requirement as they won’t be paying the CEO salary. In my view, I think it's much more likely that BPC may be close to secure a farm-in and at the same time raise additional capital. The investors in the new equity raise could easily have made this request to adjust BPC CEO salary to a more average level for the peer group. The new investor might not be so happy to pay for the deferred cash component while letting the CEO keep the deferred share is a fairer compromise. I guess some people following BPC would now argue why would BPC raise cash if they manage to get a farm-in partner. I think there are several reasons why BPC would take the opportunity to raise cash if they get a farm-out deal done. 1) The company will still have SG&A cost which almost never is covered by a farm-in partner, the SG&A cost would increase if the company would begin to drill a well or several wells, 2) BPC farm-in partner might only be interested in paying for one well initially and in this case BPC might have to fill the bank account when they can. 3) BPC might only farm-out one block and still need cash for work on the other blocks. In conclusion, I think it's likely that BPC will get a farm-out deal done, but it will be followed by a significant capital raise, where the cornerstone investor in the placing would have required to adjust the CEO terms. The risk/chance for a capital raise theory is supported by BPC decision to hire Macquarie as their advisor weeks after they announced that they were in exclusive talks with a potential partner. Do I think the stock is a buy here? No, the new investor would most likely put in the capital at much lower price than the current 5.6p. Which wouldn’t be that big of a problem for the CEO and the other directors as they are receiving deferred shares mainly around 0.8-1.5p per share. hxxps://twitter.com/EasyBrent/status/1026458839225454592 Read Full Thread Follow Reply
07/7/2018 11:38	pro_s2009: The mistake many make is to think these licenses are some crackpot Mongolian ones, or Banana Republic African ones. The Bahamas licenses are wonderfully attractive, that were worth peanuts as the government were against drilling. This is why a minnow company picked them up whilst Majors were focused on other areas. They remained near worthless whilst the government position was against drilling. BPC spent a lot of money and time and effort proving up the potential, which remained worthless. Now it has worth with the government position changed - and now you have serious interest. BPC are not going to give away all that time and effort and money spent in the years the licenses were worthless. The time and money and effort was the investment........the seed........waiting for the future turn of events to grow the seed into a tree. The time has come. It is amazing that some people cannot see that a major oil company spending 250K a month to lock out all the competition is not something quite astounding. How many times have you seen it before ? For those who do not know the oil business, the Bahamas license area's are expected to yield lots and lots of oil. Oil potential which was until the recent government position change, pretty worthless and reflected in the BPC share price. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

08/5/2018 05:18	brettmo: Goldman Sachs’ target for BPC was 16p in June 2013: At the time, they recorded this data for BPC:  Share price 4p  12 month target 16p  Market capitalisation June 2013 US$81 million. They wrote: "We increase our valuation to account for the announcement of March 10 by the Government of The Bahamas to grant permission for exploration drilling ahead of any referendum. We view this as a positive for BPC and as such reduce our political risking of the stock; we now model an 80% chance of political success versus 60% previously. BPC anticipates drilling preparations will take a year to complete based on the existing FEED work. We therefore expect an exploration well to be drilled, pending a farmout from 2014 onwards, and push back our assumed sanction date for any potential discovery by a year to account for the pre-drill work required. We continued to model a farm-out for BPC, assuming the company retains a 40% stake in the exploration prospect in return for a carry on its portion of the well cost and back costs." COMMENT - The Negatives - Since then, ignoring nearly 5 years time-lag in getting here, there have been these main changes: • Oil Price down 25% from $102 to $75. • Circa 60m shares for the board, 260m placed last year • Cautionary sounds regarding the reduced need for oil in the mid-to-longer term due to Clean Energy sentiment. - The Positives • Majors now flexing muscles again in the exploration sector as the cash-flow from production looks to be underpinned by future prices well above (for example) Shell’s bottom-line of $50 for exploration. • The previous Govt passed the long-delayed Regulations. • BPC’s cost of drills have been calculated as economic even if the oil price fell below $30 per barrel and if the quantity were only about 2 billion barrels as against the Moyes Report figure of 28 billion – see below. • The current Bahamas Government is seemingly pro-oil (viz -the Shell and Oban announcements) and by its own public comments and in Parliament, has been preparing the electorate to the inevitability of the need to explore because of the dire economic situation. • The Bahamas economy is under siege this year because of its tax haven status and international pressure for it to change its laws this year– making it less attractive as an international business centre. • 3-D seismic and other positive results have become available. • Adjacent (relatively in oil-mapping terms) ) drills have succeeded or have been assessed positive except for the Russian foray in Cuban waters (which did not fail because of lack of oil). • Due to cost-savings, Oil-Majors are seemingly keener on exploration closer to hubs and BPC fits in admirably. • The Moyes Report of December 2017 not only added credibility to BPC’s own data-room material but boosted the potential volume of oil to 28 billion barrels against vague suggestions of a likelihood of low billions back in 2013. Taking a round number like 4 billion barrels back in 2013 , the resource could now be SEVEN TIMES GREATER. • Here is what oil-expert Malcy wrote of the Moyes Report: “Moyes - calculate ‘aggregate mean volumetrics assessed for the key structures in BPC’s southern licences is a STOIIP of 8.3 billion barrels, with an upside of up to 28 billion barrels STOIIP’. In addition they give a POS of 25-35% which is extremely positive. Applying their recovery factor of 20-40% they get a EUR of 1.66-3.3bn mean and up to 11bn barrels of upside.” • In March 2018, Simon Potter signed an extension to his own contract at 10% of the contractual amount in return for being rewarded by shares – a strong pointer as to what he expected was likely to happen – or what? • All the highest global standards of Environmental Impact have been met in BPC’s approach. • The Environmental Impact Application was lodged on April 2018. • The 3rd May 2018 announcement of a Confidential and Exclusivity agreement with an un-named oil major materialised with payment of $250,000 per month for 3 months plus the chance of extension for up to a further 3 months at the same rate. This helps improve (somewhat) the company’s tight financial position. Presumably, the suitor is concerned that there are other majors circling – consistent with BPC’s various announcements this past year (and more) of activity the details of which they were and are not able to divulge. • On 4th May 2018, Simon Potter gave an extensive and upbeat interview to the Tribune (a Bahamas newspaper.) but rightly pointed out that: "it's not a deal until it's done." His reported comments read much more positively for the prospects of a deal with the un-named major than had the cautious RNS announcement.  He described the arrangement as being with a “highly respected major international oil company.”  He regarded the new agreement as "a huge step forward."  He mentioned that the speed of renewed interest in the company's licences suggested that the company's prospects of success (in drilling) and the potential quantity of commercially extractable oil were among the industry's best.  He added: "These companies don't spend money if they don't have to. To commit to us in this way, and seek a commercial arrangement, is obviously very positive."  He also emphasised the short-term economic benefit to the Bahamas: “The exploration will last for 90 days and cost up to $100 million, a considerable proportion of which will be spent locally in-country." • Reaction to the interview was quite muted. There were only a few brief comments and not all negative – demonstrating the limited (and much reduced?) hostility to the news of drilling drawing closer. • It was the present political party, now in Government, that granted the licences to BPC at the very outset and it has demonstrated more support than did the previous Government who were thrashed in the 2017 election. Although that previous Govt was not hostile to BPC, it was slow-moving and tainted by a (regretted and regrettable) seeming commitment to hold a referendum – although its result would not have been binding anyway (see what happened with their Referendum on Gambling). Current Position • Current share price after the 3rd May announcement – a rise to just 3p approx.!! • Surely some analysts including Goldman Sachs should be revaluing the company. The rise to 3p was welcome but still seems to bear no resemblance to the astonishing reality of the current factual matrix. There will be many who bought these shares at up to 24 pence when the factual matrix was far more speculative. • Are we now worth a mere 16p ….. or much more now and anyway long before news of a deal being signed?

A reduction from a POO of $103 to $53 is NOT an increase in oil price and BPC had $35m in cash to negotiate from a position of strength back then. This is why so many investors lost faith.
