Wii existing shareholders be offered the discounted shares

From FT today:
""This is effectively the launch of a new oil and gas company with the ambition and resources to become a significant independent player. We intend to develop President Petroleum Company from small-cap US producer with one major area of prospectivity in Australia, into a global, mid-cap business with substantial reserves and resources. Our aim is value creation that mirrors that achieved by companies in the sector whose reserves and resources have attracted the attention of larger businesses.

Today's announcement confirms the strength of our position:- a strategic investor with significant industry connections; support from institutional investors; finance facilities and banking support; and highly experienced new Board members with oil company backgrounds.

We will shift our geographic focus to areas with much greater potential for major hydrocarbon discoveries and we expect to complement our prospects in Australia with other similar sized opportunities in such diverse areas as Asia, Africa and Europe. Our strengthened Board and Management capabilities will enable us to move quickly on any opportunities, and our new cash position will ensure we are able to add further resources wherever needed, whilst eliminating our net debt position."

Where are you Chav? Held above 60 on a very cr***y day!

60p will seem cheap within a few months

And 25p - offer price- very cheap.

...

SP holding up very nicely for some reason Maggie despite the 25p cheap shares coming alone soon. Looking more likely that MRP will fly once all this is out of the way and the quick bucks have departed. Champers still on ice but I can almost taste it now.

Welcome back Chav Thought you'd sold up! Quite surprised at the strenght of sp but delighted!

Have to admit I came close to selling on the morning of the RNS but have held on 2 see where these go and if the sp continues to hold after the new shares hit the market then it looks like we will make a few Bucks.

The new boys look like they will be tremendous value on the boD's taking into consideration their past performance with tiddler Oil juniors.

Ms Singers large dump of 350K shares has been nicely absorbed by the market and the sp moving ahead again :-) Surprised there hasn't been a holding RNS in regards the buyer of Ms Singers shares...perhaps when the person has finished buying.

It would be nice to have an update on PEL82 JV talks and ELV but I guess we will have to wait until the company changing process is completed.

I've applied for 100% excess so next week will be very interesting, should every thing get passed at the EGM on Monday, regards the reaction of the sp.
Hopefully people will hold for developments with the new company but I guess there will be a few fast Bucks to be had by some on the 1st Dec.

Have also applied for more hope I've got it right! and if I have you'll all be laughing.

"The Board of Meridian announces that both Special Resolutions proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held today at 11.00 a.m. were passed without amendment. thereby enabling the proposed Placing and Open Offer of, in aggregate, 27,614,498 New Ordinary Shares, the Capital Reorganisation, and certain other related matters to proceed.

Consequently, the name of the Company shall change to President Petroleum Company PLC with effect from 30 November 2009, with a new London Stock Exchange ticker symbol of PPC, a new website address of www.presidentpc.com, and an issued share capital of 45,446,492 Ordinary Shares of 1 penny each.

The above figure (45,446,492) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company."

Disappointing only getting 6% excess however it's hopefully up,up and away from here....new thread required for PPC!

Go for it chav. A chart in the header with 25 & 200 DMA would be great. Thanks.

New thread started for PPC....Bye bye MRP.
