Update: Awaiting farm-out closing

Bowleven (BLVN) has not escaped the poor sentiment seen across the E&P sector. Despite being near to closing a farm-out that will catalyse a $170m payment (equivalent to 33p/share) and being exposed to four material wells (two carried under the farm-out) in 2015, its shares have fallen by nearly 20% since our initiation in mid-July; it now lies 55% below our core NAV of 73p/share and 65% lower than the RENAV of 96p/share. The full-year results indicate the farm-out with Lukoil/NewAge is close to completion (with just the gazetting of the presidential decree now required), which will enable all the partners to continue with the development of Etinde.
