RE:RE:RE:Keith Hill: pls start share buyback programThe div before that was $100M and last few before that $40-50M. The 25 was an insult. Clearly they need cash to di f their share of the new offshore mega find.

I agree, it does not make any sense .. but in the absence of any news (see Papa's list a couple weeks back), we just head lower with the market.
we got $25m dividend from Prime in May and we may see something more before the end of June but I am not expecting the release of the $150 Equinor deposit quite yet. I think at the end of May, AOI had $170m USD in cash (not including Nigeria) which right now is close to 20% of its total Mrkt Value.
Q2 results at the begining of august .. improved forward guidance related to Prime would certainly help. And for sure a share buyback program should be initiated in Q3 .. if Keith is going to buy another producing asset, it had better be one hell of a deal for AOI!
