New release related to tax dispute...
Canada NewsWire CALGARY, Aug. 29, 2016 CALGARY, Aug. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Bankers Petroleum Ltd. ("Bankers" or the "Company") (TSX: BNK, AIM: BNK) announces that the binding third-party audit report has been released with respect to the 2011 tax dispute, determining that Bankers correctly stated its 2011 expenses as cost recoverable according to the Petroleum Agreement and the License Agreement. As previously agreed to by the Albanian National Agency for Natural Resources ("AKBN"), the Minister of Energy and Industry and Bankers, the decision is a final resolution, and, as such, the Albanian tax authority will recalculate Bankers' tax obligations for 2011 and determine the appropriate mechanism to settle or reimburse Bankers for the payments made to date. The Company had paid a total of $37 million as of June 30, 2016 to the Albania tax office as deposits for the 2011 profit tax assessment. The third-party audit was conducted by a joint panel of individuals from PricewaterhouseCoopers and Navigant Consulting Company, pursuant to the Terms of Reference signed and announced on February 24, 2016. All parties have committed to using the results of this third party audit as the basis for determining recoverable petroleum costs in subsequent years.

Finally!!! No even more so I hope the deal falls through. With new management and even with current BNK will be worth a lot more when oil rebounds. $3 plus by EOY

That's about 15 cents a share credit to BNK. Who exactly will get this money? Geo or BNK shareholders?

We're not talking 2or 3 million dollars here. $37 million is material amount of money and provisions for the dispersal of any tax money recovery should have been made in the arrangement contract.

they should declare a special 15 cent dividend... payable on Sept 15... that will put the fire under Geo Jade to own the company by then!... ( this is not a serious suggestion but I like it...)

I think you will get a cheque in the mail for each share you own. You should have received a form in the mail. Except if you voted no to the takeover. Then you get nothing. Call your advisor to verify if you are entitled to any money.

I'm sure that was a joke post. As was the special dividend idea. But a special div sure would be nice - a cheque too!
