RNS Tod Kozel disposes of 10million shares.

Not quite true h! Rumour is that this is a 'smoke & mirrors' transaction which side steps the regulations but may have a beneficial tax angle. We need to know who the third party is. This info should be available in a couple of days.

"Director's Shareholdings

Gulf Keystone was informed on 19 April 2013 by Mr Todd F Kozel ("Mr Kozel"), Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, that on 19 April 2013 he transferred ten million (10,000,000) common shares of USD 0.01 in the Company to a third party, in respect of a repayment in full under a financing arrangement, at a price of £1.6875 per share. Mr Kozel no longer has any interest in the common shares transferred. Mr Kozel has no present intention of disposing of the balance of his common shares."

harry tk now holds a nominal number of shares (255k) but still has a stack of options according to their RNS.

He still holds c£14m worth in options.

harry are his options exercisable at profit?

HARRY RNS dated 26th February seems to throw some light on this matter.

sp down 9%?

sp 154p is this a buying opportunity?

hi hali yet again!
gkp is currently not so much unloved, but lacking any interest for buyers, even though they say (cynical old bugger!) they have oodles and oodles of black stuff ...... i doubt there'll be any positive action until judgement day in the carpetbaggers' action .... memory tells me that that will not be until june, but more than happy to be corrected

Now 147p to buy! Shorters?

I sold half of holdings sometime back,sorely tempted to buy back sub 150p,the oil's still there.

so did I but used funds else where for now.,.

Not one I'd want to short, have taken a small long Sept 13 future @ 150.57..

SP all over the place this am,touched 131p(probably to trigger a few stops?).Needs to
regain some confidense and with it sentiment,which is non-existent at present.CC not until after whit/bank hol imo,results possibly july,so a rough ride short term?

consider my post 4142

I believe a 90 day time limit on judgement,so June is my guess too?
