Activa Resources AG reports on its 2015 Annual General Meeting
Bad Homburg, 13th July 2015. Activa Resources AG provides the following details of its 2015 Annual General Meeting which took place in Bad Homburg, Germany on 9th July.
The meeting was well attended with 56.3 % of the company's issued share capital represented (vs. 36.8 % in 2014). Following the general discussion all resolutions were passed with the required majority. The resolution regarding formal approval of the actions of the Management Board (CEO Leigh A. Hooper) was passed unanimously (100%). The resolutions regarding formal approval of the actions of the Supervisory Board, the appointment of the company's auditors for the 2015 financial year and the approval of authorised capital were passed by majority vote.
Further to the expiry on July 9th of the five year term of the Supervisory Board members Messrs. Blumenthal, Vedder and Dr. Escher shareholders followed the company's proposal and re-elected Messrs. Blumenthal and Vedder and elected Mr. Johannes Zwick for a term of 5 years. Mr. Zwick replaces Dr. Escher who did not stand for re-election on grounds of age. The resolution was passed by majority vote. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board expressed their gratitude to Dr. Escher for his highly constructive input over the last ten years.
CEO Leigh A. Hooper provided shareholders with a detailed report on the company's activities in 2014 and corporate developments during the current year. Mr. Hooper's comments focussed particularly on the company's progress in 2014, the impact of the fall in oil prices since September 2014 and the company's strategy in the current price environment. After a six month drilling hiatus, during which the company has executed a significant cost-reduction programme, Activa recently kicked off a new drilling programme which currently does not include OSR-Halliday, the company's main asset. Preparations are, however, underway to resume drilling at OSR-Halliday as soon as possible.
Overall, Activa is well positioned in the current price environment with its asset portfolio, thanks in particular to the drilling successes in 2014 at OSR-Halliday and Halls Bayou and substantial hedging positions. As a result, the CEO provided a cautiously optimistic outlook to shareholders.
