'Palm' pid='49030' dateline='<a href="tel:1409337 Wrote:Yes, thanks Gator. But the as interesting thing about this filing is that he is listed as an insider "Senior Officer", which to me says he's joined the company. Maybe he's filled that position we saw advertised a while back. On the CC transcript he's listed as "Laurie Brown – Independent Upstream Consultant". If he is still "independent" I don't think he would have had to file a report with SEDI would he? http://www.interoil.com/iocfiles/documen...0FINAL.pdf
i agree with Palm - this filing suggests they have formally transitioned LB from consultant to employee. He is very highly regarded by MH and as we heard on the earnings call, will work closely with Dave Holland. I do know MH has wanted to bring him on fulltime but LB had his consultant business and interest in western Australian E&P were keeping him busy. So this would be a nice affirmation and very significant share purchase by a guy who's "bought in" and presumably close to seismic info. Finlayson btw clearly would never LEAD this board with all it's responsibilities, time and effort if he didn't subscribe to the value creation ahead. We should presume that as seasoned gas exec he has seen all the seismics as well.
The number of highly qualified people joining IOC is remarkable and telling.
