Yesterday, Tethys Petroleum announced that Mr. Julian Hammond was appointed as CEO of the company with immediate effect.
Prior to this appointment, Mr. Hammond held various management positions in the company since July 2006, and served as Deputy CEO since February 2011. The Rt. Hon. Peter Lilley was appointed as Non- Executive Chairman of the Board. Previously, these positions were held by Dr. David Robson who left the company due to health reasons.
Our view. We see the announcement as neutral for the stock. We cover Tethys Petroleum with a 12-month target price of CAD1.93 per share and a Buy recommendation.
