Maurel & Prom - Postponement of General Assembly to June 29, 2011
PARIS, May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following a discussion initiated with the Board of Directors of the Company, it was established that the value of the investment made by SEPLAT (Nigerian company, Maurel & Prom Nigeria 45%, itself wholly owned by Maurel & Prom) was not fully reflected in the Group stock price.
Also, to better bring out the value of each major asset of the Group (Gabon and Nigeria), the Board has therefore decided to study the distribution to Maurel & Prom shareholders of shares of its Nigerian subsidiary.
This distribution will lead to a separate listing of this company and will thus enable each shareholder to appreciate the true value.
An upcoming Board of Directors, to be held no later than May 24, 2011, will specify how to possibly attribute the shares of Maurel & Prom Nigeria as a special dividend to each Maurel & Prom shareholder , in addition to the dividend of 0.25 EUR per share originally envisaged.
Accordingly, the Council decided to postpone until Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 10 am the holding the General Meeting originally scheduled May 12, 2011, in order to prepare in the most adapted way the details of the resolutions to be submitted for approval by the Assembly.
Next dates: 10 May 2011 Q1 2011 Sales (after close of trading)
