Crown Ocean resolutions prevail

The results of the Bowleven general meeting (GM) were released this morning, with eight of the nine resolutions passed. This has led to the removal as directors of all but two of the board: the chairman Billy Allan and COO David Clarkson. They are joined by two additions proposed by Crown Ocean Capital: Eli Chahin and Christopher Ashworth. The results of the votes were all close run, with between 49.4% and 54.8% voting for. Given this, and the split board, we are unsure as to the near-term future for the company’s strategy. We would expect the new board to meet as a matter of urgency to look to resolve this uncertainty.
