cynic that's what worries us with the oil price falling and political tensions in the region beginning to "bubble" again.Minority shareholders are pretty defenceless in these sort of situations, institutional investors may "save the day".

there's only one institutional investor to worry about, and that's ENOC ...... while ENOC are under no obligation to offer what they regard as silly money, the directors and other shareholders are under no obligation to accept what may or may not be put on the table

ENOC has already formulated its stategy otherwise it would not be trying to buy out minority shareholders, they may well be looking to sell the whole business in due course.

hard to know, but there will be strong cultural affinity between dubai and turkmenistan, the latter being notoriously xenophobic

Extract from yadrts operational update.
Preliminary approach
On 4 June 2009, we announced that the Company had been approached by Emirates National Oil Company Limited (ENOC) L.L.C. ('ENOC') in relation to a possible offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company it does not currently own (the 'Approach'). The Company formed an Independent Committee of the Board to evaluate an offer should one be forthcoming. The Approach is of a preliminary nature and there can be no certainty that any offer will be made or as to the terms of any such offer. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.

Not representing the best interest of "al"l holders,by cancelling the LSE listingso much easier(90%required) to achieve on the ISE. ThatS the view of a very knowledgable investor, who feels they have left themselves open to legal action?

Here's the passage whuch covers the issue.
Corporate restructuring
On 27 March 2009, the Board of Dragon Oil plc announced the proposed restructuring of the Company by means of a scheme of arrangement by putting in place a Bermuda-incorporated company as the new ultimate holding company of the Group. Following the restructuring, the Company was planning to apply for a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the Irish Stock Exchange. In light of the approach received from ENOC, the corporate restructuring has been put on hold.

Ambrian have raised there price target on Dragon to 424p
LONDON (Dow Jones)--Small oil producer Dragon Oil PLC (DGO) Tuesday said its first-half oil production fell short of its expectations, sending its shares lower.
In an operations review, the company said its crude output averaged about 42,800 barrels a day in the first half of 2009. That was up about 11% versus the year-ago period but below Dragon's original expectations due to changes in its drilling program and operational issues.
Dragon said it had formed a committee to evaluate a takeover offer from Emirates National Oil Co. "should one be forthcoming" and reiterated that Emirates' approach was still in the early stages. Emirates already owns about 52% of Dragon.
Dragon, with operations focused in Turkmenistan and Yemen, disclosed June 4 that it was approached with a possible offer for the company.
Some analysts are still upbeat about Dragon's prospects going forward, citing the company's commitment to stick to a target of achieving up to 15% growth in annual crude production from 2009-2011 and Dragon's healthy cash position.
Ambrian analyst Werner Riding retained his "buy" recommendation on Dragon and raised his price target on the company's stock to 424 pence from 377 pence. Dragon shares traded Tuesday down about 2% at 318.75 pence at around 0830 GMT on the London Stock Exchange.

The point being if they listed on the LSE it would require 90% to achieve a takeover. By not doing so they have "not" looked after the interests of the pi, therefore failing in their duty to them.

DGO have NOT delisted from LSE .... as far as i can see, they have just decided not to go down the route that would (might) take them there, which is scarcely scurrilous ..... indeed, as they say, it's a pretty pointless exercise anyway when they are already in discussions with ENOC ...... frankly, i shall be more than happy just to have made a decent profit - which is of course the whole point of buying and selling shares
