Re: EGO - Empire Oil

The video seemed pretty "produced" to me and unbelievable.
Its going to take some doing for ERM to get this over the line.
1100 shareholders, a vast majority wont bother sending in thier proxy votes
(I never do with my other dud stocks) and IMO thats what EGO management
wi hang thier hats on.

ERM Power has requested clarification to the Auditors Statement.

As an Extraordinary General Meeting has now been called by Empire for 26 November
2013, ERM Power continues to believe that a timely response is required by Empire’s
Auditors to ERM Power's request, which ERM Power believes will be relevant information to
all Empire shareholders.

ERM Power (ASX: EPW) advises that should it be successful in making its proposed
changes to the Board of Empire Oil & Gas NL (ASX: EGO), the new Board will immediately
consider ending the indemnities Empire has provided to three existing Empire Directors in
respect to their personal legal actions against shareholders and others.

Re: EGO - Empire Oil & Gas

ERM are certainly saying the right things to us LT holders, intending to stop/reverse the rediculous
defamation cases is a MAJOR plus.
Long way to go to the meeting and now EGO are trying to outsmart everyone with the scheduling of the EGM/AGM.
I hope SHERS dont get sucked in.

Hi All, 1st time poster, bumping a real old thread re EGO rather than starting a new one, can't find any reference to the following.
Not exactly sure how to put this simply...

As a noob with some play money I purchased some of these back in ~08, pre GFC, got burned with all my holdings, all worth ~10k back then, haven't played the game since, left them all sitting there hoping someday they'd comeback, pass them on to my kids or something.

I've not paid any attention to long drawn out notices etc in the mail, just disappointed every time I've occasionally looked at my commsec acc.

Back in August 15 I received a cheque from EGO, something about a "Sale of shares via Small Holding Sale Facility at A$0.004507 cents per share" 40,000 = A$180.28.

Now, I can't remember what I paid for these, can't find it on commsec, too old I think, but I do know it was a hell of a lot more than that. I havn't deposited the cheque believing perhaps that would legally acknowledge my acceptance?
As said above I was just going to hold, leave them to my kids incase they came good, As I write this there $0.325.

So my question is, what should I do, where do I stand, do I legally have to accept this deal ending the relationship, or by not depositing the chq can I demand the relationship continues as long as I (or my kids) choose?
Whilst I understand they have operating costs to send out info etc, obviously add's up with small holdings, I have asked them (all holdings) to only forward doc's via environmentally friendly email rather than paper, apparently they're not allowed to?

While at it... Am I best to keep holding onto all this crap or should I sell, take the loss, perhaps I'm able to write it off or something??
There's been some name changes over the years, I have no idea what AQX used to be, or what I paid for them



Thanks for your help/advise, sorry for the length...

Cheers!
