So than you start talking NCIB which I believe allows a 10% repurchase per 12 months
Therefore you can buyback 56.6M shares from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023
At $75 WTI the FCF from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 is rough $600M
Now assume 50% for shareholder returns and 50% for the 2027 note
By June 30, 2023 you could get Net Debt down to $900M ($300M FCF usage)
You also have $300M for Share repurchase however you can only buyback 56.6M that gives you enough money to buyback 56.6M @ $5.30...but what if you can buy shares below $5.30....do you put the left over to debt, drill more clearwater or a one time special divy june 30, 2023 prior to initiating a quarterly divy for 2H 2023?
Of course this is based on $75....which we are well above right now....and the data suggest strong through Q2-Q4
However for now lets base it on ONLY $75....looking for others opinions.
Wolf, you read more Corp docs on BTE than anyone. I'm curious if Ed has any bonus money associated with stock performance. I think a dividend moves the stock faster than ncib. People tend to act based on how they are incented
