PRESIDENT ENERGY PLC
("President", "the Company" or "the Group")
President Energy (AIM: PPC), the upstream oil and gas company with a diverse portfolio of production and exploration assets focused primarily in Argentina, comments on recent share price activity.
President notes the recent decline in its share price being a nearly 35% reduction since 1 November 2019 alone , being the date of the last trading update issued by the Company.
There are no materially adverse changes in President's trading, business or prospects since that time whether micro or macro. In fact there have been improvements in all key performance indicators. Since that time, inter alia, the receivable oil price has made positive progress and President has increased its production by acquisition of the Angostura asset.
Accordingly President views such decline as purely market driven and not driven by any fundamentals relating to the Company .
