SP rocketing.

Wharf news is that GKP is in play and is highly sought after by "those in the know".

It's probably driven by events, NOR. If the politics get sorted (US as well as Kurd) then anyone interested will have to get a move on.

"Just wondering if someone would like to"

It's very apparent Sarah that when your over active imagination comes up with an idea that requires some research, you always ask somebody else to do it for you.

Is that because you don't possess the intellectual capacity to do it yourself.

Or is it because you're just bone idle.

So instead of just wasting another day of your life why don't you pull your finger out, get your head down, try to apply yourself, do some work and post the results.

Then if anyone is sufficiently interested they can look at what you've come up with and give you their comments.

Do you not want people to see this Paul ???

I'm not surprised.

Just wondering if someone would like to list all the companies in Kurdistan in the last ten years that have been merged or taken over were private shareholders are winners ???

And then can we list the ones that have been absolute disasters for private shareholders ???

How many have gone bust ???

Yes if bidders don't play friendly ball the co can flush their cash down toilet , it's a bit like a dilutive plan but more subtle#GKPFYICos fighting hostile bid +/or forcing up sale price can use several hostile takeover defencesGkp already employed share repurchase AGM voted thru another defenceshare option scheme pays out without limitIt's a variation of a poison pill.

Anybody heard what happened in Baghdad yesterday - if anything did happen?

[highlander7] 24/6/2020 06:21

We will get fair value in any sale. The BH , large Institutions and the KRG will make sure of that. GKP BOD/JF will not have a say.

[urals] 24/6/2020 05:48

It certainly looks to be going hostile, with the proxy fight, so many new US hedge funds appearing holding big chunks of stock.I wonder if their is a deal the board will recommend, and Lansdowne favour another partys competing bid, hence the proxy fight ? =======If you were Trump who would you go & talk to? No brainer, Todd Kozel USA & inside track on GKP....Trump urgently wants into Iraq/Kurdistan oil.USA major financial institutions & hedge funds clearly want into GKP.Perella Weinberg are playing a blinder!Hostile bidding war coming for control of GKP....
