Way Forward - Vote YES

[Tree]

Apparently, we all say things differently, which, at times, to some, may be confusing. It really is quite simple to get on the same page. When the opportunity presents itself, just keep voting YES for the then Superior offer. Eventually, the most Superior offer will win and we can all find something else interesting to argue about. Remember, vote YES for the MOST SUPERIOR offer. It is not about whether or not to sell IOC in total. The PSO and BOD have already made that decision. IOC will be sold. Just vote YES for the best offer.

The point here is: Voting yes on THIS particular vote is NOT how you select the best offer.

Voting yes on this particular vote is how you select the OSH deal.

There will be no vote on the OSH offer. That offer has been supplanted by XOM offer. With your logic and misunderstanding an XOM offer of $2000/share would be at risk because shareholders might vote YES on an obsolete OSH offer. Absurd.

Yes, the OSH offer is obsolete unless they top XOM or XOM walks away by 7/21/16.  This is not difficult Forrest.

Any yes vote is a vote to sell the company. Contrary to what you suggest the Board of Directors does not have the power to sell the company without a 2/3rd approval of shareholders.

You are trying as hard as you can to sell us a pig in a poke and it seems you might have made an small impact. Congrats. Here's some help: Anyone who wants to give the BOD the authority to sell our company at whatever the current superior price feel free to vote YES.

If on the other hand you want to exercise the control over the future sale of the company granted by Yukon law then vote NO and keep voting NO until you see an offer you believe to be adequate.

And, by the way, IOC didn't get 36 offers for IOC or parts thereof. They had contacts with 36 companies where the sale of parts or all of the company was addressed in some manner. We can judge for ourselves the advisability of sending out an email blast to welcome any and all offers to sell IOC assets into the market bottom.

I've never wished anyone good luck with their short positions and I'm not going to start now.

Ok, so I'm retarded, but I  am still not as stupid as you.

This vote on the 28th (or sooner via proxy) is only for the OSH deal. It is not for any other purpose whatsoever.

The XOM deal will be an entirely separate vote, and be subject to the same rules regarding notice period, Management Information Circular, deal disclosure etc. At this point in time we only have the detail of the OSH deal.

Anyone voting yes on this proxy, is voting to sell to OSH.

The vote with regard to an XOM deal will not happen unless the OSH deal is voted down first.

If the OSH deal is passed, then the company belongs to OSH, and the XOM deal is a non sequitur.

Its your choice: Vote yes and get the OSH deal, or

vote NO and wait for the new Proxy, Management Information Circular and XOM deal details, and the new date for voting on the XOM deal.

Art and Olliver, again this is not difficult.  Why the vitriol and bitterness?  Still pissed at Hession's compensation package?  Still pissed that you sold a substantial share of your IOC earlier in same day the XOM deal was announced? (Couldn't happen to a better guy, again).  Still pissed you can't be  Marshawn's water boy?

Again, initial OSH deal is void and so are your NO votes unless OSH jumps XOM offer today.  Vote YES to each future BOD recommended superior offer to create competetive tension and extract our best deal.  Oh, yeaj, don't forget to vote NO on the  initial OSH proposa!!

Onward and upward.  What'ya got TOT???

Simple substantian to what I've posted:

RE: Per IR on your vote I asked the IR Department today: "If OSH does not improve their bid by the Close of Business in NYC tomorrow (21 July) … what happens to the current Proxy Voting?" Their response was: "It is cancelled and the clock is reset ie. New record date, new MIC, new voting date (likely September)." In any case, I will continue to vote NO to any and all Bids that do not value IOC properly. The current XOM Proposal IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME.
