Posted at 23/10/2014 23:23 by roily It's been a while since I checked my account to see how many shares of ART I have. I think it must be around 1000 so I guess I need this to go to $20 to recoup my investment. Funny number because Maystealer(?) on Stockhouse's mantra was "Vast is going to 20".I asked about Rhu because someone on another board a few months back said he was dead and I had not seen him on any boards so I was curious. He was a tad cantankerous but isn't every VST investor. |

Posted at 08/8/2012 20:44 by beastly martian Stan Bharti has resigned as Longford's executive chairman and Mr. Said has stepped down as president and chief executive officer. All Longford's other former directors, apart from Mr. Said, have also resigned, effective today.CALGARY, Aug. 8, 2012/CNW/ - Longford Energy Inc. (NEX - LFD.H) announced today that it has implemented an amicable reconstitution of its board of directors designed to place the company in the best position to create long-term value for all its shareholders. The reconstituted board is the result of discussions between Longford and Goodwood Inc., one of Longford's major shareholders, regarding Longford's annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held in September 2012(the "2012 Meeting"). Goodwood controls approximately 12.1% of Longford's outstanding common shares. As a result of these discussions, Longford's board has been reconstituted, as follows: Ian W. Delaney, Allan Bezanson, Daniel P. Owen, Peter H. Puccetti and Ahmed S. Said. Mr. Delaneyhas been appointed chairman. In addition, at the 2012 Meeting, Longford will put forward a resolution to increase the size of the board to six members and Mr. Wesley J. Hallwill be nominated as the sixth director. (Biographies of these six individuals can be found at the end of this release.) The new board intends to actively review Longford's prospects and opportunities to best utilize its capital so as to maximize long-term value for shareholders, whether through acquisitions, mergers, other transactions or in some other way. Mr Delaney said: "The new board is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for Longford with its cash resources. Guided by a highly experienced and knowledgeable board of directors, we are confident that we will successfully deploy Longford's capital in a manner that creates significant and sustainable long-term value for shareholders." The new board is also today committing on behalf of Longford to its shareholders that, in the absence of one or more transactions being undertaken or agreed to by Longford prior to its annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2013 (the "2013 Meeting"), Longford will put to a vote of shareholders at the 2013 Meeting the decision of whether Longford should pay substantially all of its then available cash to its shareholders by dividend or other distribution. As part of the board reconstitution, Mr. Stan Bhartihas resigned as Longford's executive chairman and Mr. Saidhas stepped down as president and chief executive officer. All Longford's other former directors, apart from Mr. Said, have also resigned, effective today. Mr. Puccettihas been appointed as Longford's interim chief executive officer. As part of these arrangements, releases have been provided among the parties related to matters occurring up to the date hereof. Longford has also agreed that Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. will continue to provide certain administrative services to Longford for a transitional period. Mr Delaney said: "On behalf of Longford and all its shareholders, the new board wishes to thank Mr. Bhartiand each of the outgoing directors for their service to the company and its shareholders." Mr. Bhartiadded: "Our discussions with Goodwood have been constructive and fruitful. Longford has strong cash reserves, putting it in an excellent position to take advantage of new opportunities in challenging markets. My best wishes go to the new directors as they continue to move the company forward." Longford expects to mail in the coming days its management information circular for the 2012 Meeting. The circular will recommend that shareholders elect Messrs. Delaney, Bezanson, Hall, Puccetti, Owen and Said as Longford's directors at the meeting. In order to facilitate the timely distribution of that circular to all shareholders, the new board of Longford has determined that the 2012 Meeting will now occur on September 7, 2012, rather than on September 4, 2012as previously announced.

Posted at 30/7/2011 10:44 by zeratul899 Very nice article from SH - that Nel12 poster is pretty sensible compared to the many nutters on there! I think GKP, WZR and SNM's valuations are about to see quite a bit of re-rating over the next 12 months. Hopefully, VST will join that club soon.-------------------- Vallares takeover is at the due diligence stage at the moment according to Sunday Times and it is reported that Hayward-Roshcilds duo are looking at a number of other oil explorers in Kurdistan Region. If Vallares manage to enter the Region successfully, it will open the door for more activity and will be a boost for risk averse investors' confidence. Ex-BP Chief to spur a takeover frenzy in Kurdistan Region Kurdishaspect.com - By Shwan Zulal It has been reported in the Sunday Times that former BP boss, Tony Hayward, and his investment vehicle Vallares, which he has set up with Nat Rothschilds, have made a move on the Turkish Genel Enerji. Since leaving BP, Hayward's fund attracted many inventors including BlackRock, Paulson and Co Hedge fund and Mubadala among many others. Mr Hayward told FT in June: "Vallares will not use the capital it raises to buy assets for cash "because we have no competitive advantage in doing that". Instead, the company will target an emerging market player with "good quality assets that have neither the capital nor the capability to move them forward but by the same token don't want to sell out". The Guardian has reported that Vallares is seeking a reverse takeover of Genel Enerji which one of Turkey's largest oil companies, and has a strong presence in Kurdistan Region. The company has been keeping a low profile since the UK regulator has fined its Boss for insider dealing when the company was in merger talks with UK based Heritage oil. The fact that a fund like Rothschilds and Hayward's are considering Kurdistan is a confirmation that US and European investors have started to look at investing in Kurdistan Region favourably. It is over eight years since Saddam Hussain was toppled from power and oil exploration companies have moved to explore the largely untapped Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Nevertheless, the oil majors have so far stayed away from the Region with few exceptions due to doubts about the legality of the PSCs and PSAs awarded by the Kurdish Authorities and fear of being excluded from the auctioning rounds in Baghdad. Chinese and South Koreans state oil companies along with smaller western oil explorers ignored these fears and nearly 40 companies are operating in the Region today. Many have been successful and found significant hydrocarbon reserves. The companies on the ground and investors willing to take risks could not resist the commercial terms offered by KRG on the oil and gas contracts. The move by these companies were very risky at the time but they are about to be awarded as it becoming clear that the Kurdish authorities are not willing to bow to Baghdad. While at BP's helm, Hayward must have come across this issue and BP must have researched the possibility of entering the Region at one point. Nevertheless, After his abrupt departure from BP, Hayward has set up Vallares to invest in emerging energy markets and has made its move to Kurdistan. The fund is already oversubscribed according to Bloomberg. And it is not a surprise that they decided to look at Kurdistan as it is the most important onshore untapped energy source, which could play an immense role in future European energy supplies. Vallares takeover is at the due diligence stage at the moment according to Sunday Times and it is reported that Hayward-Roshcilds duo are looking at a number of other oil explorers in Kurdistan Region. If Vallares manage to enter the Region successfully, it will open the door for more activity and will be a boost for risk averse investors' confidence. Many of the companies involved in Kurdistan Region are smaller exploration companies and have neither the resources nor the expertise to build up the underdeveloped infrastructure. Therefore, it is inevitable that a large number of them would be a takeover target for the larger oil companies and Vallares move has set the pace. The arrival of Hayward would commence a race among investors to take part in a new emerging energy player in the region. It is inevitable that in the coming months, we will be seeing much more activates in Kurdistan Region as mergers and hostile takeovers ensue. Hayward's CV is impressive and he understands the Energy market more than anyone else does. He has chosen one of the most strategically important companies in Kurdistan as the company holds seven licences and is Turkish owned. Turkey is a big player in the region and positioning itself to become the alternative energy supplier for Europe and the region, which Kurdistan Region can play a big role with its oil and gas reserves. Moreover, a number of the blocks Genel holds are close to the Turkish border and it is immensely important to the Turkish government for strategic reason. KRG would be chuffed at the news as the long awaited momentum has been building recently. First, the UK consulate has opened in Erbil and the US followed. And now, first class investors are showing the wiliness to invest in the Kurdish energy sector which would lead to attracting more investors in other sectors |
