If he had stepped down when asked by the now proven superior and astute
Business professional Mr Moskov, this disaster could have been avoided.
But Oh no the self inflated Ego and arrogance of the man and his merry little followers
decide to take on the big boys and destroy all the investors HARD EARNED CASH!

Rhambo you seem to have all of the answers here so please could you explain this to me. Let's assume that you are correct and WV take over the company as debtholders what will they do with it? They are after all investors/ex bankers who do not know how to run an oil company and as we have seen so far they can not just sell the company and make a profit. Presumably then they will need the assistance of the BOD to run the company (regardless of how inept they seem to be) and would therefore need to come to some compromise with some of the board members. Would those board members who still hold shares in the company be willing to see the value of their holding wiped out completely?

Once again, especially with Aim companies, the directors are paid over inflated salaries, turn a world class asset into a disaster and walk away unscathed. They need to be held to account and stripped of their own assets. When is the law going to protect private investors? What are the scenarios if I don't accept the offer?

Disposal of 32 per cent. of Petroceltic International plc's Senior Bank Facility by the Worldview Economic Recovery Fund

Sunny Hill, a company wholly owned by the Worldview Economic Recovery Fund (the "Economic Recovery Fund"), announces that, on 2 April 2016, the Economic Recovery Fund disposed of 32 per cent. of the Petroceltic Group's outstanding indebtedness in respect of the group's Senior Bank Facility to an independent third party investor (the "Disposal"). The Economic Recovery Fund remains interested in 37.44 per cent. of the Senior Bank Facility.

Registration of the third party investor as lender of record under the Senior Bank Facility is expected to occur shortly, on the facility agent, HSBC Bank plc, countersigning the transfer certificate under which the Disposal was documented.

Capitalised terms or expressions used in this announcement have the same meanings given to them in the Offer Document dated 24 March 2016, unless the context requires otherwise.

Interesting.

Below is an excerpt from First FT article referred to in that post, this from the same man claiming now that PCI has no value and kindly offering to take investors shares for 3p. Bear in mind that the MC was £300m at the time.

Petroceltic’s board has accused Mr Moskov of attempting to obtain control of the company without paying a fair price, and also argued a change of control could threaten its interests in its Ain Tsila gas co-venture with Enel of Italy and Algerian state-controlled Sonatrach. The project is expected to absorb $1.5bn of capital expenditure ahead of first gas production in 2018.
Mr Moskov defended his actions to the Financial Times this week, stating: “We have exhausted all options to make changes we wanted to make.”
He admitted that Worldview at present was sitting on a paper loss after raising its stake from 5 per cent in February last year to nearly 30 per cent, but said he still expected to profit from his campaign. “Is there value in the company? Yes — multiples of current market value.”

This will stand off will linger on for a while as without Adair no takeover bidder can get to 90%.Adair is a lot poorer for sitting down at the table with Big Brain and I am not referring to the bill for the meal.WV are stuck in a fairly bad place as they have managed to destroy a great percentage of their investment on this rather opportunistic but inherently dangerous gamble.With WV talking down the value and BB being held in such low regard by most of his poor investors maybe Wee Tom should step out from behind the Big Man's shadow as a mediator.It is obvious BB must stand aside or go for any resolution unless he can push his old mates at ENI into making a bid.20p could easily do it I would say!GLTA

Unhappy Petroceltic Shareholder Considering Takeover Offer For CompanyFri, 22nd Jan 2016 10:22LONDON (Alliance News) - Petroceltic International PLC could be subject to a takeover offer after an existing substantial shareholder said it may potentially launch an all-cash offer for the company on Friday.Worldview International Capital Management Ltd already holds a 29.6% stake in the oil and gas company, and said its preparing to make a bid to acquire the remaining issued share capital of the company."Worldview would like to emphasise that its evaluation of Petroceltic is ongoing and there can be no certainty at this stage that any offer for Petroceltic will ultimately be made, nor as to the terms of any such offer should one be forthcoming," it said in a statement."Shareholders in Petroceltic are reminded that, further to the company's announcement of December 23, 2015, it remains in an 'offer period', within the meaning of the Irish takeover rules," Worldview added.Although no price or valuation has been mentioned, Petroceltic's market capitalisation currently stands a touch under GBP35.0 million, suggesting Worldview's current stake is worth over GBP10.0 million, with the other shares it may acquire being valued at just under USD25.0 million.Petroceltic initiated a formal strategic review of the business and its assets back in December as the company continued to struggle to make repayments under its senior bank facility due to a drop in oil prices, reduction in capital investment programmes in Egypt and Bulgaria, and adjustments to reserves.Petroceltic had not released a statement responding to Worldview's announcement early Friday.Petroceltic owes USD217.8 million under the senior bank facility, while cash balances amount to USD28.1 million. However, the company also said it had received confirmation from its lenders of their intention to provide further financial support.Petroceltic has previously said it had received a number of conditional proposals in relation to the sale of the company, but also said it had also received interest about individual assets of the company - giving it options. That kick-started a formal sales process, which Worldview has pounced on.Worldview would have seen the announcement of a formal sales process as a gift as it has been campaigning aggressively for change at the top of the company, including levelling accusations of corruption and calling, unsuccessfully, for the ousting of the company's chief executive.Worldview secured support for proposals which had been tabled for an extraordinary general meeting back in October, but that meeting was cancelled by Petroceltic after the company secured an injunction blocking the meeting from the High Court of Ireland.Alongside being unhappy about the management at the company, Worldview was desperate to block a proposed USD175.0 million bond issue which Petroceltic intended to secure against the Ain Tsila gas project.Investors seem to be in favour of the potential takeover, with Petroceltic shares trading up 36% to 15.62 pence per share on Friday morning.In October 2004, Petroceltic's share price hit an all-time high of 224.0 pence, but Petroceltic shares have fallen by around 93% since then.One of the reasons the share price has risen Friday is because investors were fretting after The Sunday Telegraph reported the company was fighting to survive and had appointed restructuring specialists from PricewaterhouseCoopers to prepare for possible administration - claims that Petroceltic has not directly responded to.By Joshua Warner; joshuawarner@alliancenews.com; @JoshAllianceCopyright 2016 Alliance News Limited.

PETROCELTIC AND BP???
Is Petroceltic International PLC The Perfect Partner For BP plc?
By Motley Fool | Mon, 3rd August 2015 - 15:41
Share this
Shares in oil and gas exploration company, Petroceltic (LSE:PCI), have slumped by over 10% today after it announced the suspension of a planned bond issue, with the company stating that, as a result of volatile conditions, it has been unable to secure financing on the terms it is seeking. In consequence, marketing of the $175m bond issue will be postponed until Petroceltic has completed the transfer of its interest in the Isarene production sharing contract.

Clearly, the market is disappointed with this development and it comes at a time when the company's outlook is hugely uncertain. As well as a weak oil price hurting Petroceltic's near-term outlook, its major shareholder, Worldview Capital Management, has apparently been critical of the company's senior management team. In fact, it has been rumoured that a change in CEO is desired by Worldview, which is also unhappy with the proposed bond issue, too.

Of course, today's share price fall follows a hugely challenging few months for the company, which have seen its valuation plummet by over 50%. And, with financing in the oil sector being relatively difficult to come by, owing to the increased opportunities that have become available to less risk averse investors, a delay in Petroceltic's planned fundraising could cause investor sentiment to decline further in the short run. That's because, with an array of other oil stocks trading on super-low valuations, investors have a great choice available to them, which means that they can be more selective.

One oil stock that is worth choosing to buy at the present time is BP (LSE:BP). It clearly has far superior size, scale and financial strength compared to Petroceltic and, while there have been criticisms levelled at its management team in recent years, the company is riding out a lower oil price, sanctions against Russia and the ongoing fallout from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill very well. In fact, BP's share price has fallen by just 5% this year and, as its recent results showed, it is making encouraging progress in dealing with a lower oil price environment.

BP is expected to at least maintain dividends over the next two years, which means that it could pay out as much as 13.8% in dividends during that period. As such, it remains a top notch income play and, with strong growth prospects being anticipated during that period, its price to earnings (P/E) ratio is set to fall to just 12.8 next year, which indicates that its shares could be due an upward rerating - even if the price of oil does not pick up considerably in the meantime.

On paper, a combination of a smaller oil play and a larger, more stable stock such as BP makes a lot of sense. They may be able to balance out each other's weaknesses and provide a mix of income and growth for long term investors. However, while BP is a superb buy at the present time, things could get worse before they get better for Petroceltic, with shareholder disquiet and questions about its financing unlikely to help improve investor sentiment in the near-term. As such, it remains a stock to watch, rather than buy, at the present time.
