AWDR - Awilco Drilling Limited er registrert på OTC-listen

Company news

2010-01-22 16:37:20

Awilco Drilling Limited er registrert på OTC-listen f.o.m. 25. januar 2010. Ticker: AWDR. ISIN: GB00B5LJSC86. Antall aksjer utstedt av selskapet er 11.000.000. Emisjonsverdien på selskapet er NOK 319.000.000 basert på siste emisjon i desember 2009 på kurs NOK 29. Pålydende pr. aksje er USD 0.00001 pr. aksje. Selskapet har inngått avtale om bruk av meldingssystemet og vil kunne benytte dette fra og med 25. januar 2010.

Selskapet ble etablert i forbindelse med kjøp av to halvt nedsenkbare borerigger fra Transocean. Riggene ble bygget på 1980-tallet og er egnet for operasjon i Nordsjøen. En av riggene går på bareboat kontrakt med Transocean ut oktober 2010, mens den andre riggen er i opplag. Oppgradering og klassearbeid av riggene planlegges. Ved etableringen ble den nødvendige egenkapitalen for kjøpet av riggene reist blant finansielle investorer, og selskapet og tilretteleggerne ønsker å legge forholdene til rette for en ordnet omsetning i aksjene.
