"The Company has recognised for some time that both Neil Ritson and Steve Horton are not adequately rewarded for their professional skills and experience compared to their peers in the oil industry. The Company has recently gone through a transformational change with the acquisition of Goudron in Trinidad and we as a Company needs to ensure our key management are well incentivised over the next year to maximise oil production from the group's assets.
